OMG, are our leaders stoned or just stupid? This $3 billion Chinese loan is the biggest mistake for ghana because, these idiots sees money & think they can squander it foolishly among themselves & in the name of judgement debts. I don't blame them. Irresponsibility & stealing is the norm in ghana, no politician is hold accountable for their careless actions.

How on earth could the leaders do this to our mother Ghana. They should think about the country a bit because everything that they do has repercussions on younger generation and they should leave an accountable and inimitable legacy.

Our whole attitude nationally is always half-hearted. No one takes anything seriously and we are always sinking.

There are more of such revelations coming. Make sure those who received the payment as well as those who effected it are brought to the good books but do not forget to go into that of the president construction of a hanger and the aircraft deal. Everyone in the country thinks of his or her prosperity through dubious means and that is very bad.

THERE HAS TO BE A BLOODY COUP IN GHANA AGAINST THE ENTIRE LEADERSHIP.

GHANA'S FREELOADING POLITICIANS ARE BLEEDING THE ECONOMY LIKE TICKS FOR NO WORK DONE TO DESERVE THE EXPRESSION OF GRATITUDE OF GHANA'S TAX PAYER.

THESE END-OF-SERVICE BENEFITS ARE 4-YEARLY FRAUDULENT ENTITLEMENTS TO GHANA'S CORRUPT LAZY MPs LEGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF TERMS AS A PARLIAMENTARIAN AND WITHOUT REGARD TO AN MP's PERFORMANCE AT THE CONSTITUENCY AND PARLIAMENTARY LEVELS.

THESE ARE HAPPENING IN GHANA BECAUSE GHANAIANS HAVE ALLOWED THEM.

WE SHALL ALL SWIM IN THE QUAGMIRE LEFT OVER BY GHANA'S SUCCESSIVE LAZY SCROUNGING DOWNRIGHT CORRUPT LEADERSHIP.

Where did we went wrong to have such heartlessly wicked monster criminals who have politically taken us hostage ruining and wrecking our country with such arrogantly disrespectful to our laws and with impunity?

Do we have men with balls and women of the likes of the Yaa Asantewas in the country?

God have mercy!!!

Ghana@50 was viewed by Kufuor and his NPP govt as the ideal conduit to milk oman Ghana big and to propel themselves into the exclusive league of Afican billionnaires. In the aftermath of these sleazy transactions that he orchestrated for his enrichment, he found it apt to decorate himself with a chain made of gold that, in all truthfulness, he didn't deserve. By that puerile act, it was evident that Kuffuor had some admiration for Bokassa, Iddi Amin, Mobutu, and Bongo among other clownish African leaders and needed to relive them in his tiny kingom of Ghana.

During his campaingn for office of the presidency Mr Mahama saturated his audiences with endless laundary list of promises loaded with plausible but palpable absurdities. One of them was a promise to name and number every street in Ghana. This, he claimed as government's responsibility. In fact he mentioned "government has... " in many instances during his smooth orations to entice votes.

What the poor Ghanaian did not know was a behind the door contractual engagement with somebody to draw a plan. A few days later a PDF format of a street plan modelled against some British city went around the internet with no detailed anything to justify millions of cedis voted for the street naming project. All these occured during election period when candidates were searching for means to raise revenue to finance their campaigns.

Today this same gentleman, now President, says it is the duty of our local governments to structure and come out with a plan to name their own streets. Fine Mr President but what happened to the original plan? How much did you spend on behalf of the people of Ghana and what prompted this change of mind ?

Many of us have always thought that over centralization is the major cause of inefficiency and our failure to develop as a nation. Should we re-examine our constitution to grant certain statutory powers and authorities to the local people to administer certain functions including managing their own affairs? It usually sounds very absurd that our constitution grants the President sole powers to appoint 80,000 + officials nationwide at assumption of duty immediately after inauguration.

Meanwhile our streets are waiting to be named and numbered as promised. And most of them look like dusty pathways.
