He chided the NDC for rather criticizing the NPP government over the activities of the group instead of joining hands with the government to fight the group. Chairman Dollar, who is also an international defense and  security expert, noted that every terror group starts as a small, ridiculous and none serious entity before becoming a threat. According to him when a terror grouping starts like that,it takes a little support to get them stronger. ...

  Election 2020 and the Politics of Infrastructure....Daniel Amateye Anim Writes. On the 7th December, 2020 Ghana will go to the polls to elect new President for the governance of the country. This will test our pride as the beacon of democracy in Africa and the shining example to many emerging democracies globally. Interestingly, our democracy primarily is anchored on elections, which is important to democratic stability in this part of our world. However, it is my considered submission that beyond elections, we must strengthen resource and build the capacity of democratic institutions within the country so that they can effectively perform their constitutional mandate, thereby helping to consolidate our democracy. The 2020 election is an interesting one due to the fact that, we have both former President, H.E John Dramani Mahama and sitting President, H.E Nana Akufo Addo of the Republic contesting on the tickets of NDC and NPP respectively. It is against this background that, bot...

   John Mahama is the Godfather of Deception, Lies and Trickster.... CVM John Mahama is the Godfather of Deception, Lies and Trickster... CVM Former President John Dramani Mahama has made known his penchant for attacking political opponents at the least opportunity. It is obvious he is unrepentant of the use of vulgar, acidic, intemperate and highly divisive language as the 2020 electioneering campaign heats up. What is clear to Concerned Voters Movement (CVM) is the fact that Mr. Mahama in his desperation to get back to the Jubilee House has thrown caution to the dogs and spews gibberish without cross-checking the facts. If Mr. Mahama had taken time to listen and read statements and speeches delivered by His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia each time they cut sod for the commencement of any project, he would have appreciated the fact that the source of funding, the duration of the project and the budgetary allocation are always captur...
