Hahahahahah Tony aidoo says mahama is a failure

Ambassador-designate, Dr. Tony Aidoo says government has criticised his own administration, accusing it for failing to live up to its responsibilities of making life less onerous for the Ghanaian. According to him, the government has flunked in taking decisive steps to plug the leakages in the system, particularly at the revenue mobilisation points, which tend to cause the masses to suffer. Dr. Aidoo, who is the out-going Head of Policy Monitoring and Evaluation at Office of the President on Wednesday stated on the Joy FM that, "government must backup" and stop giving excuses for the inability to deliver what it promised Ghanaians. "There is strong material evidence that a great deal of leakages go on in there [Ghana Revenue Authority]; an official from the VAT [Value Added Tax] will go and connive with a "vated entity" most of the time to reduce the liability...There is a conspiracy that has been going on for a very long time". "And to the extent that this goes on...government has failed Ghanaians," he stated. "You have no excuse to fail! "Don't tell me that you came to power without realising the huge responsibilities that you are going to incur when you are voted into power. However onerous the responsibility of governance, it must be done and you have to do it in a way and manner that balance resources and your outgoings." Tony Aidoo Agenda Dr. Tony Aidoo also dismissed the notion by some of his colleagues in government to the extent that, his persistent criticism of the government regarding the seemingly poor economic management, is solely intended to serve his interest. "I am not pursing a Tony Aidoo Agenda," he stressed. He encouraged the public to be bold and speak out when public resources are not being managed properly by the government. "As a citizen of this country who has worked in public service all my life; left a comfortable establishment; prospective work in Jamaica and Bristol to came back to Ghana, I believe that I have a duty to act in the public interest. "The economy is not working well; we should say so. We should not be hypocrites and sycophants and pretend that everything is working well," he said.

AFISA OTIKU DJABA,THE FACE OF HOPE FOR ALL WOMEN IN THE NPP

We need a virtuous woman like AFISA OTIKU DJABA to continue inspiring our ladies nd women like she had always done, so that together we can wrestle power from the ndc.I donot throw my support blindly so after a careful examination of her activities as the sitting national women's organiser of our party,i have no doubt whatsoever that this woman is the rightful person to be maintained as the national women's organiser of our party.As the current national women's organiser Afisa Otiku Djaba has a list of tremendous achievements under her carpet that she can proudly boast of. Firstly,our current national women's organiser was able to form the Women's wing working committee,an association within our party which has brought together all past and present women of stature including former and sitting  mps,d.c.e's and ministers of state so that they can empower the upcoming young women in our party.This feet she has achieved at the national level and hopes to replicate in all the regions and down to the constituency levels if re-elected. Secondly, she formed the "girls girls initiative programme" , a group which later became "girls girls for Nana Addo"to help empower young women,most of whom were in the zongo's,kayaye on our streets and unemployed young women,disabled women in our communities and trained most of them in apprenticeships.Most of them are now seamstresses,hairdressers etc etc.As an affectionate mother of four and someone who had worked in rural areas during her working days with Plan Ghana, an international non governmental organisation,she personally empowered many women in our party by funding them to learn how to produce beads and batik.Eventhough it is said that it is difficult to raise money to party activities in opposition,Afisa Otiku Djaba had shown that indeed with the right heart,spirit and bargaining accuemen ,one could easily do so to better the lives of their people.Thirdly,our current national women organiser has helped to create a national women's wing membership cards for the women in the N.P.P with a monthly fee of 1 ghc being paid to improve the welfare of our women.This initiative will also be replicated nationally in her second term of office as she told me in an interview earlier on.She was also the brain behind the organisation of annual "salafest" festivities for over 2000 kayaye in our party during their islamic festivities by feeding them and showering them with gifts.As the national women organiser,Otiku Afisa Djaba organised periodic prayer sessions for our party during the electioneering period and even during the supreme court petition.She has indeed proven beyond reasonnable doubt that she is someone we can trust and count on as a our national women's organiser for another four years.Otiku Afisa Djaba also was all over radio stations like Adom fm,Peace fm and on television stations like Metro tv and others defending the cause of our great party,even at the peril of her personal security.Indeed our national women's organiser has brought respect and a much prefered public outlook to all the women in our party by elevating their stature in ghanaian contemporary body politics.Her good communication skills and her ability to speak almost eight local diallects including gonja,wale,hausa,dagbani,twi,ga,fante and krobo makes her the needed gap to bridge the parity between the north and other parts of the country when it comes to mobilising support for the NPP at the grass roots.I will therefore plesd with all delegates to think of the future of our women,children and upcoming female politician aspirants in our great party by retaining madam AFISA OTIKU DJABA as our national women's organiser of the NPP because she is the FACE OF HOPE for our women.The lies and negative propaganda about her should be treated with outermostly grave contempt because it is only political neophytes and potential losers who adopt such weird and unreasonnable tactic against their own party members during internal party contests.OTIKU stands tall.Long live the national women's wing of the NPP,long live NPP,long live Ghana.......by Don paino

PAUL AFFOKO GETS MASSIVE SUPPORT FROM GRASSROOTS.this article is minblowing.please find time to read this

SINKING JAKE IS CLUTCHING AT STRAW

                              Article By WO 11 (RTD) SAANI MAHAMA

A sinking man they say will clutch at anything to stay afloat. That appears to be the situation facing the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) incumbent National Chairman Jake Otanka Obetshebi Lamptey.  He has suddenly found a harmless suggestion from Paul Afoko as his saving straw to latch at.

Apart from Kennedy Agyapong’s open campaign against Jake and the rest of the current National Executives, there is a ground swell at the polling station and constituency levels against these executives particularly against Jake, Sir John and Fred Oware. Supporters of the party believe that these executives are responsible for the party’s defeat in the 2012 elections and have therefore vowed to show them the exit in the upcoming elections for national officers.

However like most power drunken African Politicians, Jake and his colleagues cannot see the shame that is coming and insist on pursuing their parochial and selfish interest of holding on to power at all cost. They are the ones who have been registering members of the party and issuing them with party cards that make them eligible to vote.(Interestingly, with their own private machines).

It is Jake and his colleagues who have been going round inaugurating the international branches of the NPP and psyching them up for the upcoming national elections. Jake and his colleagues set up the timetable and drew the ground rules for the elections. INDEED IT IS JAKE, WHO APPOINTED THE DIRECTOR FOR ELECTIONS OF THE PARTY, ONE MARTIN ADJEI MENSAH, who serves as SECRETARY to a National Elections Committee of the Party.

And so when recently one of the aspirants to the National Chairmanship position Paul Afoko raised a very legitimate moral question about National Executives being Judges, Jury and Executioners in their own court, Jake found the straw he had been waiting for; he quickly latched at it and has made it the centre of his campaign. He even had the audacity to call on people to “learn the party’s constitution if they want to lead the party.”

Nobody has called for a constitutional amendment. And that clearly was not Paul Afoko’s call. Paul simply raised a moral question and any body with any iota of morality and a sense of shame cannot fail to see that National Executives who are standing for re-elections cannot and should not be allowed to play any active roles in the run-up to these national elections. It is as simple as that. But off course Jake and his colleagues have been blinded by their selfish interests. Jake and his team should concern themselves with the calls on them to render an account of their stewardship before they ask party supporters to re-elect them. These are the more crucial issues that should concern them and not who is learning or not learning the Party’s constitution. By the way, if Jake understood the NPP’s Constitution then he would have known that National Officers are elected at a National Delegates Conference and nothing else. Maybe Jake is the one to learn the constitution.
