Akufo Addo Presents 60 Vehicles to Ghana Armed Forces
President Akufo-Addo presents 60 vehicles to Armed Forces; cuts sod for US$24.8 million housing project
On Wednesday, 27th October 2021, Akufo Addo presented 40 Jeep J8 vehicles, 6 Toyota Hi-ace mini buses, and 14 Toyota Hilux pick-ups, to the Armed Forces, which will help contain the security threats posed by extremist groups operating along our northern borders, and also help the Army deal better with internal security challenges.
Nana Addo also inspected work on the Ghana Military Academy Infrastructure Upgrade project site, whose sod was cut on 4th July 2019. The Cadet Mess, the Square and lecture rooms are completed.
The Administration Block is some ninety-five (95%) complete, and the contractor is in the final stages of completing the external works. The two hundred and forty-six (246) capacity Cadet Hostel and Platoon Commander’s Block are some sixty-five percent (65%) complete.
Again, Akufo Addo inspected on-going construction of the seven-storey Army Headquarters Office Complex, which is also progressing steadily. This project is costing the taxpayer some GH¢33 million. Finally, president Nana also cut the sod for the commencement of work on the US$24.8 million housing project for the troops. Forty (40) half compound houses will be built here at Burma Camp, ten (10) each at the Naval Base in Sekondi, the Airforce Base in Tamale, the 4th Infantry Battalion in Kumasi, and the 3rd Infantry Battalion in Sunyani. When completed, a total of three hundred and twenty (320) units would be added to the housing stock of the Armed Forces.
We all hope the Military Compound Houses will be built as fast as the way the educational infrastructures were provided for to the various SHS last year.
the buildings are to be built by Ghanaian contractors.
We must centralize repair of military vehicles and keep maintenance records for each vehicle.
Mr. President, other security services like FIRE SERVICE AND PRISON SERVICES needs urgent support. The Prison hold in custody HARDENED CRIMINALS and the Fire is needed on our roads. Please sir, the Fire Service is in dire need of logistics.

“I will choose Ghana Card over 1000 interchanges” – Ghana Vice President Bawumia poked fun at NDC.
Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has chosen sides when it comes to infrastructural development and Ghanaians acquiring unique identitification numbers.
I will choose Ghana Card over 1000 interchanges – Bawumia said.
Give this guy the rest of his life to be the president and he will come back and tell you about his inheritance. A non-performer always looks out for excuses and not solutions. Hmmmmm, a ceremonial president. I personally think he can do himself some good and stop talking. `He is just irritating every Ghanaian, including his own party members.
Ghana Card to be recognized globally as an E-passport next year – Bawumia claims.
Bawumia trends on social media for choosing Ghana Card over 1,000 interchanges.
Can’t believe there were people around who refused to let him realise how stupid his comment was but rather went ahead to clap for him.
If we fix our misplaced priorities in this country first, then we can start the talk of Ghana card and National Cathedral. Does the Gh card stop road accident due to poor roads? Does it heal people and stop people from sleeping on floor when there are no beds in our hospitals? Does the Gh card fix the Korle bu mortuary? Among numerous issues in this country, then we can have the Gh card talk! If the card doesn’t solves all these problems, then I think the Gh card issue should be secondary in this country! These developed countries we always compare gh to do not have misplaced priorities. We talk of underground train station and amazing things going on in these developed countries and I am sure their resident card has got nothing to do with it. After all there are illegal immigrants in these countries. So how about that? Sorry for the long talk but I think we are tired in this country.
Ghana card is a significant thing but it’s a shame it came this late. Damn, this vice president needs some type of assistance in evaluating his ideas. Comparing an identity scheme to infrastructure development? I pray this man comes no where near wanting to be the actual president. I can’t believe he’s a Dr. Damn! Why is Ghana like this? How the hell do all these weak-minded people end up in office? It seems all you have to do is join a political party, have some sort of degree and then ask to be voted into office regardless of whether you’re dumb or not. Common sense is better than book sense.
The Ghana card is great, but he should have explained to Ghanaians the relevance of it. And also in this trying time of the economy, the statement of the Ghana card to the interchanges were not what Ghanaians needed to hear.
if the Ghana card is implemented well. it can solve a lot of issues in this country like access to finance for entrepreneurs, student loans, tax collection, paying pension, easily track down and issue fines to indiscipline drivers since all their financial data will now be linked to the card.
If an identity card is important than dévelopements then Ghana is doomed. Identity card is just for administration works. Ce fini. Instead of them creating jobs for the citizens and get paid, they say what. Keeping an ID card in your pocket without work to do is baseless. Those of OUR BROTHERS and sisters living in Europe and America are working to survive not just because they have ID cards in their pockets. The national ID card or Résident card helps to find a job but when you sleep with the card you will die of hungar. And no bank in this world will give you a loan because you have a national ID card. You have to find yourself a job first. So Bawumia and his government should creat jobs for the People.

Former President John Dramani Mahama React to Ghana Going to IMF Under Akufo Addo
“I welcome President Akufo-Addo’s decision to formally engage the IMF with the view to entering into a programme under the Fund.
Though belated, it should mark an important step towards addressing the dire economic situation, which has left Ghanaians wallowing under intense suffering and hardships.
Beyond the announcement of engagement with the IMF, a comprehensive home-grown programme should be fashioned out and presented to the Fund for support. It is imperative that a team of skilled and competent negotiators is put together to obtain the best set of measures with the Fund.
The Finance Minister who has supervised the disastrous collapse of the economy cannot and should not be part of the team of negotiators. He has lost credibility and the trust and confidence of stakeholders in our economy.
President Akufo-Addo must take a bold decision to replace his finance minister immediately with a more assured and competent person who is willing and able to work tirelessly to turn our almost hopeless situation around.
In addition, given his obvious failures, the Vice President must be relieved of his responsibility as Chair of the Economic Management Team to enable the President to reconstitute the team.
We must draw useful lessons from this episode and avoid cheap politicking with the economy; that can only yield the disastrous outcomes that have brought us here.”
This is a leader talking. Honest and visionary. God bless you President John Dramani Mahama. We miss your leadership and can’t wait to see you in POWER.
The entire government must be replaced, reshuffled or disbanded for trying to kill Ghanaians with this untold hardship! Akufo Addo himself must resign effective immediately!
Similarly, we the living also expect better from the government. We expect government to set right priorities, eschew arrogance, stop wasteful expenditure, address corruption and tolerate dissent. We also expect government to bring socio-economic relief to Ghanaians.
As we observe our Republic Day, let government set their priorities right in order to address the excruciating hardships millions of Ghanaians are going through.
And let us also re-dedicate ourselves to building a prosperous nation.
Former President John Dramani Mahama Reacts to Ghana Going to IMF Under Akufo Addo
Nana Addo and his criminal cartel have taken us back 60 years with abysmal performance in handling the economy.
Their ignorance and arrogant posture has clouded their sense of reasoning.
The only thing they are doing right is stealing and corruption.
We all criticised your government because Ghanaians had higher expectations. Unfortunately we installed mediocrity and a clueless bunch of egocentric government that was on a reverse gear towards an exponential economic disaster. And we have finally arrived. Ghanaians say sorry JM for the curse we brought upon ourselves and posterity.
All African voters should learn from the drama happening in Ghana 🇬🇭… the fact that we are practicing democracy does not mean we should change government after every two terms.
Singapore practice democracy but one ☝️ government has been leading the little country over 70 years because the people chose reality over lies and fake promises.
Bridget Dumann says John Mahama made presidency look so easy and so effortless. They thought they could do it better. I always used to say posterity will judge Ghana for voting against JDM. But it came too soon. Way too Soon.
