The chicks are now coming home to brood.......................................... We were saying it was too early to lift the lock down....Gov't was considering economy, new voter's register and elections forgetting that, there will be no economy, register or elections without the people...... Someone welcomed COVID-19 in the early days, directing it to the executive and the legislature as they were holding $100 million dollars in its name...... Hitherto, it was the poor electorates who suffers in any negative issue, however with COVID-19, they the "Jones" will suffer more....since they care less about the human beings.....
It is just so hopeless to have people like @OSA also being Ghanaians. They do not apply reason or common sense to issues of national importance. It is only someone who eats shiit who can think (or not think at all) like @OSA! Ne di3 nu sen gyimie! Ne yarie nu sun papa! Maybe @OSA has hayfever which causes people to loose sense and reason and behave wildly!
OSA woe gimi saa? Are you that iiiidioot?
I am sure the SC judges have all regretted their decision to kick the ..... of nana addo by allowing this new voter registration. I am also sure that, they are waiting for one sensible Ghanaian file another case using this pandemic as an excuse to stop the EC from conducting this registration and this time they will grant on humanitarian grounds. It is against people human right to force them to register knowing they are prone to this virus. Of course, anyone has the right to stay home, but it is a constitutional right that every Ghanaian has a civil responsibility to be part of. Too many high profile people are being infected, how much more the ordinary Ghanaian. The risk is too much.
Bomboklat! Fire burn babyloon and all dem wikerd vampyres robbing the state and innocent pple! You engineered the exit of a very competent Auditor general in order to push through your corrupt deals! Well, if you and your ethnocentric Akyem mafias think you are above the law Covid-19 will humble you! Whilst people were arrested and jailed for violating social-distancing rules NPP party members behaved like the rules did not apply to them! And all the president said was that "it should not have happened"! You risked the lives of all Ghanaians by using that blocckheaded EC boss to push through your diabolical agenda of compiling a new register in the midst of a devastating pandemic because you conjecture that a new register will inure to your benefits electorally! And to further ensure that you carry out such evil agenda, deployed the military(people who are trained to kill) to a region considered as the stronghold of the opposition to intimidate them so that people do not register to vote! In your ignooorance you have forgotten that elections in Ghana are not decided by strongholds but by the middle class who vote based on prevailing conditions! The middleclass have seen the high-handedness of this government ,the total disregard for human rights, the usurping of the powers of state institutions and the reckless and avaricious manner in which this government is willing to trade the lives of Ghanaians for power! By exposing Ghanaians to the vagaries of Covid-19 whilst cocooned in their luxurious bubbles, they think they are insulated from the virus. Well, they will have a rude awakening when Covid-19 finally strikes a devastating blow at the heart of power in this country! Then they would take the disease serious and act decisively! Until that time, every one should work for their own salvation with fear and trembling as if success depends on only one's efforts! We are facing the most devastating of crises as a nation at a time of yawning leadership deficiency! God bless our homeland Ghana!
NPP MEMBERS SHD BE VERY VERY CAREFUL OF NDC COZ THEY CAN SEND PEOPLE WITH COVID TO AFFECT THEM. A WORD TO A WISE IS ENOUGH.
This government hmmmmm. always playing politics with everything.
The whole NPP administration will vanish in no time, this shows they do a bad job in terms of fighting the pandemic and they are killing Ghanaians. This NPP Government is incompetent, they can't social distance themselves so they can't rule Ghanaians.
We are praying for you to get well quick. You and cohort intentionally plan to push the substantive Auditor out in other to get your way in Kroll and Associate issue. Surprisingly, Mr Domelovo left the scene, then the following day, the assistant Auditor approves your issue for you. Who do you think you are deceiving? You shall surely render an account for your deeds even unto your death.
I suspect that the whole npp party executives have these disease, because the rate of the infection is becoming too worrying. I will advise the public to stay away from these npp party executives and ministers, district chief executive and parliamentarians. It is very important. Their primaries and acclamation is the cause of this rampant infections among them. If you see any npp minister, please run away.
