If not because of corrupt Ghana all these mutherfuckers would have been in jail. Specifically San Quintin maximum security like in California.

But why do you blame all the thieves who keeps stealing in the name of govt? After all monkey Ghanaians and i mean all of them hail every Kadamn thief as a success story. And as long as we keep praising them instead of imprisoning them and seizing their stolen assets this SHIT will continue till the end of time.

And i mean a man gets into govt, gets say 5 million cedis a month as salary, in a matter of 3 years he acquires 3 houses, 5 cars, and a host of other properties, shipped their kids abroad and pay their foreign tuition cash.

I mean do u need to be an Einstein to realize this is pure theft and loot of the State? Yet foolish Ghanaians hail them as success stories instead of calling them what they are...THIEVES.

Most ppl are thieves in Ghana and the politicians are worse thieves, all of them in both the NPP and DNC deserves a long jail sentence.

Dickens would liken London and Paris to Accra and the rest of Ghana. Today,it is the best of times for the theiving and greedy super rich in Accra,and the worst of times for the teeming poor in villages and towns who are waiting for a Ghanaian Robespierre or George Washington - not to rescue them from the French and English monarchies - but from the 6%(politicians,chiefs and pastors )who are "chopping" 60% and enslaving us.

When the African Spring arrives,there will be no more "Let them eat cake."

THE NEW GOVERNMENT SHOULD SHAPE UP OR SHIP OUT.

The whole political system in Ghana stinks to the core. Without any conscience, these unpatriotic sons and daughters of our beloved country, are milking it dry. Starting from Ex president Kuffour and the NDC,these corrupt thieves should be called to account for how much they illegally took from the nations coffers.

The author has displayed academic qualities worthy of note. The analysis leads one to think that it is time for "serious rethinking". Urgent action must be taken.

Ghana is what it is today and may be forever because we are a nation of people who deep down within us never appreciate anything that is authentic Africa or has is foundation in African practices and belief system. What is wrong with the old adage “it takes a village to raise a child” Ghana has known and practiced over the years?. We do accept the things we perceive to be good in life as practiced by others without question mostly for lack of understanding and or intellectual perspective. It is only a fool who would dare go to fight someone in their backyard at his or her game and that is what we Africans do. All of the world’s greatest trading hubs for the worlds priciest natural and mineral resources come mostly from Africa and or Middle Eastern and Asia Pacific nations with Ghana producing and selling oil, gold, diamond cocoa and yet we trade at the dictates of those who are consumers. Those civilized nations do not acquiesce to the purchase prices we offer for their goods; we purchase their goods on their terms. Yet we chose to abandon our won forms of government and adopt what we deem to fit a culture and race that have subjected ours to the vicious existence under the very system we aspire to live under. We continue to pay dearly because we have a class of educated but intellectually inferior and dishonest bunch that continue to tell us classroom earned credentials are synonymous with wisdom.

This is a brilliant article, a must read for every Ghanaian. Ghana arise and wake up. We've been sleeping for too long and the politicians and civil servants- listen to their name - are taking us for a ride.

I wish the president himself will read, and also do something about it. May GOD bless your opinion.

A very good acticle, I wish the people who can benefit from it are reading it. In fact I find those ruling our country as intellectually lazy fools.

If we the poor on the street are surviving on GHC20 a day, then the salaries of Mahama and public servants must be reduced drastically. We the people of Ghana must do this one way or the other for them.

Thanks for your article, I think all well meaning Ghanaains should read this.
In short, I think it is high time these greedy politicians sacrifice for the people. They should about 50% of their current salary. the national cake should be shared by 100% of Ghanaians, not just 6%. Government should not provide accomodation or cars for them. This is not done in industrialized countries. Let us wake up.
