Great reporting

[@jacobblessing4598]

A Blessed Mahama we Thank GOD

[@djamaltanko5121]

E. C why ???😢. That's the same thing they did last four years ago. But mahama was so kind enough to let it go. This year diieehh , boot for boot.

[@Gabogabo-i4v]

No body has right over violence but respect for human dignity and laws curtail others If ndc want Ghana to go the dirty route, definitely it can happen and we will see those who will suffer in the country . U think you can preach violence because of your hooliganism behavior.

[@pheobejacques8449]

Say it again oo hmmm

[@ChrisbassKratosRelentless]

@@Gabogabo-i4vplease they are not preaching Any violence,they are demanding for the rights of the innocent voters . It’s been 4 days after voting and EC officials are holding the results and refusing to proceed the declarations… so you want NDC to keep quiet like 4 years ago, the EC officials are the major causes of the tensions in the 9 constituencies 😢 let’s be honest

[@gloryglory6682]

​​@@Gabogabo-i4vHey, why are you talking this way? Did you read what she wrote? Does John Mahama look like the IGP or is he the retiring president? Please use the nyansa God has given you and stop apportioning blames. Not fair at all.

[@chriswilliams7396]

Experience is always the best

[@daddigodwill3137]

Visionary leader.I trust him.

[@lindaesmerada]

We wish you the very best Prez Elect. Yes, we need the private sector. Cos govt alone can not create and provide jobs.

[@pheobejacques8449]

Correct

[@nanadrawslot]

Sadly , your call will fall on deaf ears . It’s in their interest to keep the foreigners daddies happy. Currently, the country is drowned in the free education debt . But he do anything about it . Also , the country will keep importing foods.

[@Ththdgfd]

Afrika don't explain your economic plan to people outside the Africa countries, because once they know your economic plan, they will come up with plans that will destroy your plans for the people of the country.

[@rikuss1912]

Mahama has been there before, so therefore he knows how to negotiate with his old friends; being the imf and the international organizations

[@srcitizen51]

Where are the EC's own copies of the pink sheets?

[@Gabogabo-i4v]

Pink sheet are signed after everything is counted and accounted for tightly . The officials of each party receive their pink sheets and a copy is sent to be faxed to EC . However the EC must get all copies from different part of the country. The work times time because of our Manuel system of elections. To avoid uncertainty we can introduce e voting but the question of hacking comes to play I have been EC official before and trust me you , it is demanding and stressful job which takes time Even in Uk , USA polls do take time before being declared but they don’t have hooligans and violence supporters to cause trouble or uprising. The uses the manual and electronic voting system. The reality is that each party he save officials during such counting and tabulation processes, so why the need for violence ? Ghana is a recipe for civil unrest and may break the country into different countries. This may emerge one day and each region will seek for their autonomy.

[@naaadjeley9818]

The nation is wild and crazy with this govt indeed! Most are women protesting! Eeeiiiii

[@rolandadingo5678]

One of the easy way to help stablize the cedis is to make it illegal for any one or business in Ghana to collect payments in Dollars. ( Mandatory Cedis payments in Ghana). The Demand for Cedis will go up in the country!!!.

[@nanadrawslot]

It won’t make it to parliament. As both parties have invested greatly in dollars 😂

[@brianjerryofficial]

@@rolandadingo5678 if your country stops mass importation & use your resources well, your cedi will be fine

[@rolandadingo5678]

@brianjerryofficial Yes, this(your suggestion) is the biggest of all them, but while we work towards that dream, let's put in the small corrections in place. Here in the USA 🇺🇸 there is no way you go out and for anything in foreign currency. It should be the same in Ghana 🇬🇭.

[@zeinabusulley9021]

Mahama implemented that in his tenure during 2012-2016 when people were buying and hoarding dollars.

[@AlbertMorrison-w7p]

How much have to as private setter

[@for_Allah_1]

see as the white woman understood am...NANA ADDO dereeeeeeee WELE o

[@Beaman0527]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 he go dey talk from in throat saaaaa she will no understand

[@SOGtv-76]

But why will EC even call for the process to be stopped? Somebody worked soo hard to secure a win only for EC to delayed declaration?

[@ChrisbassKratosRelentless]

Exactly, that’s cause of the tensions, they shouldn’t blame the NDC supporters because it’s been 4days after Election and you delaying the declaration coz you want to do something else to the figures 😂😊

[@EmmanuelMensah-m1f]

Tell JDM to manage the economy well. And encourage agricultural industry. Encourage the youth to farming.

[@joemcal852]

Youth and sports must cover every thing to do with sports, fishery, agricultural, anything to do with food and agriculture must be one ministry; railways, ports and harbour, customs, immigration, border aviation transport must all be under one ministry and that ministry must be called either ministry for aviation, railways, ports & harbour (ARPoHr), or ministry for transport port & border control (TP & BC). Also ministry for tourism & art and culture etc

[@jikd0]

@joemcal852 you are deluded if u think this will happen, the ndc party will be sharing positions among themselves, do u think they will understand if positions were reduced?

[@mumuniissifu4146]

I still remember his presidency waiting to see

[@zerosumgame3722]

Ghana does not have any dependable tax base yet this clueless Mahama, right off the cuff, is declaring to remove taxes. Where’s he going to get replacement funds? Ghana needs money to pay salaries for state service employees, fund schools, hospitals, infrastructure and many more. Ghana government doesn’t have money so the math doesn’t add up if you remove revenue. Mahama is indeed clueless and will turn Ghana’s current high positive growth back at a time when it’s 7.2% third quarter GDP.

[@nanao1267]

Do not lie to yourself.There are numerous loopholes and corruption malpractices, and if these can be addressed, the government will have enough funds to cover its expenses.Ghana loses an insane amount of money due to corruption.

[@zerosumgame3722]

@ talking like the arrogant Sammy Gyamfi that somehow there’s this big LOOPHOLE that will bring millions of cedis. This is so delusional and scary. The auditor general writes about waste but do you know how hard it is to plug these holes? Ghanaians are corrupt and for clueless NDC to think they can develop a budget based on expectations of closing loopholes, Ghana is in trouble!

[@joeanamoawallace2220]

I guess, when we talk about private sector gaining support to work, the reference is on private local sector. Providing concessions to miltinational investors to exploit or natural resources, in return of employment is stupid, as most of our revenues do not stay with us. The foreign investors have made a fool of us, with the blessing of the I M F and world bank.

[@collinseduah2179]

Now you can really see a Ghanaian police Service.

[@flynnsekyi8662]

Are Ghanaian business men and women also helping the nation? Because since independent era some Ghanaian businesses have fail Ghanaians by borrowing from tax Payers and then run away with their money and avoid paying back to the citizens and it's about time all businesses should pay they taxes and borrowing money from banks we are all in new era now Thanks

[@BrendaS-r9e]

Corruption under npp has silenced that of Woyome.

[@patrickasante6991]

It's never true. You don't hear about it because Ghanaians have short memories

[@BrendaS-r9e]

@patrickasante6991 you just told me I was right.

[@brianjerryofficial]

But it was the NPP govt that paid the money into Woyome’s account or ?

[@ChrisbassKratosRelentless]

But Woyome was prosecuted and retrieved funds 😂, in this government have they prosecuted anyone yet?

[@patrickasante6991]

@brianjerryofficial no. It was NDC government. Go check facts well

[@AlbertMorrison-w7p]

Let NDC party business men comes out and set thier business to support NDC John Mahama government to make his supporters enjoy life for free in Ghana.

[@geoffreygeli5109]

There are privileges that accrue to the presidency and ministers. We don't want to chatter flights, but they need to use business class so they can attend to some needs if possible.

[@joemcal852]

Emission levy must be retained but should be put on vehicles which emission pollute the environment the most. Especially diesel vehicles thick are 10 years old or more

[@nanadrawslot]

Cutting down to 60 minsters? Herh , won’t 20 minsters be enough

[@brianjerryofficial]

Not possible. We have 16 regions already

[@lindaesmerada]

The supporters are over doing. What is this. What if after coalition, the results showed that their candidate didn't win. How can they force the EC to declare their candidate. So if military didn't come, they can't comport themselves. What is NPP supporters too behave this way. Can there be peace?? What is wrong is wrong!!! Let's be careful oo yoo.

[@isaacnyarko1831]

THE NPP won’t to use force to rig them

[@frederickmakaveli4317]

It’s only the Muslims doing that. That’s how they do in other countries which started civil war

[@mila2742]

They won 🎉

[@ekowvilasmens]

The supporters are only being vigilant. The MP results are declared at the constituency levels, and per the polling stations' results they received, they're very sure their candidate won. Which is why they're not backing down. The NPP has lost a lot of seats, if these supporters are not careful, the EC may collude to rig to help the NPP secure that seat.

[@afiherman6053]

🤣🤣🤣

[@Crystal74-cy4xy]

REMOVING E LEVY IS A MISTAKE

[@pheobejacques8449]

Look at you

[@AgyemankobbyFrankie]

Mahama spent 4years with any stupid taxes but yet he delivered he don't need senseless even levy to survive man come again.

[@popsi6015]

So all those years without the E LEVY why was it much better than the era of NPP LEVIES. Even countries that were struck heavily by Covid are living a better life today and are not paying anything called Covid levy, post Covid but Ghana is still taking Covid fees. 🤦🏽‍♂️ Akufo Addo only came to add his name to the anal of history.

[@jikd0]

All talk, he won't cut expenditure nor remove taxes, that will mean less development, and no money in the system

[@brianjerryofficial]

He has no option now, it is proven that the citizenry is not interested in development but rather the economy, in short their pockets

[@jikd0]

@brianjerryofficial yeah it's funny how people don't understand basic economics and believe this man.

[@ChrisbassKratosRelentless]

The money are in the accounts of your People NPP , operation recover all loots will bring the stolen funds 😂

[@Gabogabo-i4v]

Funny people . Wait and see the economic consequences afterwards.

[@jerrymortson4846]

Nana Addo and Bawumia has failed woefully and plunged the economy into a junk status rating and bankrupt nation. Debt exchange program taken Debt service to the next 10 years beginning from 2025 or 2026. That's why NPP was voted out. Touching the pension bond holders and investments their money is one of the reasons why the NPP is gone to opposition.

[@ChrisbassKratosRelentless]

Your NPP government has ran the economy into consequences and JM is ready to help the economy get stronger again and you are there badmouthing ,Shame on You 😂, God no go shame us

[@mixmasterdjjerry7270]

Your bad luck won't work

[@jerrymortson4846]

@Gabogabo-i4v already your NPP has messed up the economy into a junk status rating and bankrupt nation. All bond markets have blocked us from business engagement. A debt restructuring program in the history of Ghana. Haircut on pension fund and investments without their consence. Gross wickedness. Wasting public funds, corruption. #NPP. These and many factors lead to your shameful loss.
