The difference between forcibly appropriating something to another without adequate evidence and the work of academic research. Here you have it!

Has the inept government cut sod for the IMF bailout? Sod-cutting is one of their hallmarks. Or they will do another kenkey party?

When late president Atta Mills and John Mahama administration attained and sustained single digit inflation over a period, the NPP then in opposition told us we don't eat inflation.
Dr Bawumia was bragging the last time that they brought down inflation. Who eats inflation?

The agric minister was telling us no government in the history of Ghana has ever invested so much in the agric sector than his boss's government has done. Yet there are reports suggesting that the agric sector has lost its number one position as contributor to GDP/the economy. This man uses data he superintends the people in his ministry to create to make such ridiculous statements without any shame.

When Otumfuo complained about dumsor destroying his electrical appliances, PURC is going to probe the claims. Can same apply to Awomefia or any other citizen?
In Ghana, you must come from a certain part of the country to feel important and be heard.

Sometimes, uprisings or coup do not come about simply because of an individual's pronouncements but hardship, injustice, etc. are the enticing fertile recipes. No amount of pronouncements laced with incitement for uprisings by an individual has the propensity to destabilise a country when the general masses are not faced with hardships that threaten their very existence or thirsty for justice.

Don't just post what your party bigwig said on taxation when he failed to demonstrate consistency on the subject. His current position doesn't support his earlier positions on the same issue. Do your analysis and tell us what you make of taxing everything. Confused bunch of hypocrites!

My position on taxation remains the fact that no matter how much tax you impose on the already over-burdened taxpayer, you will never be able to rake in enough revenue to undertake meaningful development projects if you make thievery and corruption your benchmark.

If you stop the broad day stealing, thievery and corruption, there will be more than enough revenue to develop this country. The Bible has even shown us how to do it in the story where three people received talents/gifts. The person who was able to make good use of his gift/talent received even more in the end. That's how simple it is! It's not about taxing everything.

If you like, tax those of us who still have hair on our heads (I mean tax each strand of our hair) and I can prophesy to you that it won't be enough if you still worship corruption and thievery. If you don't understand, go read auditor-general's reports.

See below what other leaders are thinking and doing. Here in Ghana, we celebrate rhetorics and mediocrity. What is the status of AGENDA111?, and etc?

When a government fails its people, it fishes for excuses and blame everything for it.
There has never been a government in the history of the fourth republic that was as confused as this current government.

They have blamed their failures and the insurmountable hardship majority of Ghanaians are reeling under on COVID-19. In one breath they admit it is a global pandemic and the next moment they make it look like it is only Ghana that has been affected.

In the heat of the pandemic, some countries in the world fed their citizens. Others gave money to their citizens to enable them survived. A few hundred thousand Ghanaians were fed for just two weeks. They topped it up with free water and electricity which we are now paying for when the pandemic is here with us. Yet they turn round each time to look us in the face and tell us we have to pay more taxes.

What this government termed nuisance taxes under the previous government, they have realised they weren't nuisance taxes after all and have now added them to the tax net. They are even introducing more senseless taxes. They wanted to build a cashless economy but are now ready to tax MOMO. Does it make sense?

I have always maintained that no matter how wide they widen the tax net to include visiting the toilet or bathing, if we don't eschew corruption, thievery, etc., we won't get anywhere. There is no way money can remain in your pocket if the pocket it torn. Once you put the money inside, it will disappear. No matter amount of money you put inside a torn pocket, it will never remain. Let a million people give you money and put it in the same torn pocket you will never be able to retrieve it. This is exactly what our governments have been engaged in. Seal all the loopholes and stop corruption and see if we will not have enough money to run this country.

Let's get serious in this country!

"Do or die" and "All die be die": Which one is Justified?
**********************************************
There's so much talk about former president Mahama's comment. I have not listened to him myself because I have been avoiding the mainstream media.

I have also not followed much of the media commentary. Nonetheless, I have my own opinion just like many of you.

When the NPP said the 2024 elections is a done deal, it doesn't not portend anything sinister to anyone. So, there was no call to order. But "do or die" comment means hell and brimstone which the pronouncer must quickly be called to order.

Prior to the 2020 elections, there was no such pronouncements. Our president did not repeat his "all die be die" mantra. Ex-president Mahama didn't say anything either, to incite violence. But people lost their lives needlessly. And the government referred to those who lost their lives as criminals. People get violent without necessarily being told. Therefore it's not about pronouncements. One may argue that it gives impetus to people with inherent violent tendency to engage in violence.

The fact still remains that the united SC, in the opinion of many objective-minded people, didn't do a good job in their handling of the entire election petition case. This, in my opinion, is the basis of ex-president Mahama's "do or die" comment. When you have a situation where the referee decided to become a player for one side, you're left with no choice but to play in manner that you consider fair enough to help you win. In any case, elections, we have been told, are won at polling stations.

In the "all die be die" mantra, the then candidate Akuffo-Addo premised his pronouncements on a violent incidence his political party engaged in at Atiwa. That was the basis of his comment. He did not take any matter to court the outcome of which might have warranted such pronouncement as in the case of Mahama.

So, the context of the pronouncements by the two statesmen are absolutely not the same! One was based on a conviction that united SC failed in all the processes culminating in its final ruling in the 2020 election petition case, while the other was based purely on violent act they perpetrated in one of their strongholds.

The impression that has been created to suggest that some group of people have monopoly over violence is so ignominiously mind-boggling. They feel they have the right to say or do anything and nobody dares touch them or tell them to apologize. But if another group dares to say/do same or similar, they must be called to order is hypocritically pathetic!

Note: Dear reader, You're not under compulsion to comment if you cannot do any better contextual analysis than I have done. It's a good feeling for me to learn from people who know better than I do. Thank you.

Photo: africanews.com Road crashes have remained one of the biggest challenges for us as a country. The fatality statistics on road crashes are quite frightening. However, we have become like the proverbial vulture that reminds itself of building a shelter during the raining season but soon forgets about the shelter when the raining season is over! Whenever road crashes occur, we hear road safety experts, engineers, politicians talk about what must be done to curtail the surge in road carnages. [ 825 more words ]

April 21, 2017 I have been following keenly the campaign to flush out illegal miners in the mining areas and I have been amazed with some of the discussions. Sometimes, in our effort to find solution to some of the problems that confront us, we end up creating room for people to exploit because of the haste with which we approach the problem.
