      Editor, 

      It’s no surprise that majority of the voters are gullible and easily forgetful of the past done by this present dispensation under the chairmanship of the NPP, and behold you have the dawn of the elections and the rush hour race of MLAs to lay foundation stones in every corner of this God-forsaken state.

      Many don’t seem to question why only at the fag end of its five year ruling, the MDA government needs to shell out incentives in cash and in kind? Where is the benchmark to assess and quantify the cost of such projects which till today have not really reached the intended recipient and also the outcome of short sighted ventures like FOCUS or YESS and other things in the works.

      It is only a matter of time that when a new government is formed that all that has been given would be asked to be refunded from none other by the gullible voters who fell prey to such fraudulent schemes.
