I would have given them out by now.\u201d<br \/>\nOn the  question of the political crisis in Ivory Coast, the president said he  does not want to jeopardize the lives of the over one million Ghanaians  in that country and therefore is abiding by the ECOWAS DECISION. \u201cWe  belong to ECOWAS and we will respect it\u2019s decisions. But in my opinion,  military intervention is not the solution to the wrangling in Cote  D\u2019Ivoire,\u201d he asserted.<br \/>\nSource: Freedom<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President John Atta Mills has come out to silence his critics over the recent fuel increases by putting the blame on the debt of GH\u00a215 billion left by the Kufuor administration.
