CORRUPTION COURTS IN GH
WE NEED CORRUPTION COURTS IN GH.
WE NEED A SYMPOSIUM TO ADDRESS WHY BRIBERY N CIRRUPTION STILL PERSISTS IN GH.
WHY DO PPL ENGAGE IN BRIBERY N CORRUPTION?
IS IT THE SALARY NOT ENUFF? FIX IT, PAY THESE WORKERS WELL
IS IT GREED? IF YOU FEEL YOUR SALARY IS NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU, GO N GET 2ND JOB. DOLT HARASS PPL FOR BRIBES.
THIS IS UNLAWFUL AND A CRIME IN ITSELF.
THOSE IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR WHO ARE WRONG AND CHARGED WITH CORRUPTION BY THE POLICE/STATE WILL BE TRIED THERE.
MALAYSIA HAS A SIMILAR CONCEPT AND IT IS REAPING REWARDS.THIS IS THE ONLY WAY THESE STUPID ANIMALS WILL EVER LEARN.
ARREST THESE FOOLS, JAIL THEM UNTIL A HEAVY BOND/BAIL IS PAID. GATHER THE EVIDENCE AND TAKE THEM TO COURT. THE CHIEF JUSTICE MUST PUT THEIR FUCKING FOOT DOWN! CONFISCATE THEIR ASSETS AND PAY OFF THESE MISMANAGED PROJECTS WITH THEIR PROCEEDS FROM THE PUBLIC AUCTION.
THEN JAIL AND PUBLISH THEIR NAMES IN THE MEDIA. NAME AND SHAME THEM. NKWASIAFOUR! NOT UNDER MY WATCH!
AHA NA WO B3 DA!
the pressing immediate problems confronting the countRY GHANA ARE - GALAMSAY EVERYWHERE, no electricity, no water, rife in corruption, high incompetence levels, etc.
At the moment JOHN MAHAMA has NOT articulated any vision for the country and his governance. Ghanaians don't know what he stands for except his mere promises and lies.
For sustainable socio-economic development Ghana needs ACCOUNTABLE GOVERNANCE not mere promises without action as characterised BY MAHAMA'S "leadership".
Argentina’s president has announced increases of as much as 35 percent in cash handouts to the poor, students, pregnant women and retirees.
President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner said the programs also will reach nearly 700,000 more children, expanding the social safety net and encouraging consumer spending this election year. She said the total cost of the subsidies would grow $7.8 billion a year.
GH MUST FIND A SOLUTION TO THESE PRESSING ISSUES: high level corruption, CITIZEN IDENTIFICATION, insecurity, unemployment, LACK OF INFRASTRUCTURE and infrastructure decay as the major problems confronting africa's development.
LOOK, YOU CAN BROADEN THE TAX BASE AS MUCH AS YOU WANT...UNREALIZED CAPITAL GAINS, GIFTS TO FAMILY/PERSONAL CHARITIES, TAXING THE RICH, ETC...YOU CAN CLOSE ALL THE LOOPHOLES ALL YOU WANT, BUT IF YOU DONT FIND A WAY TO DEAL WITH PUBLIC SECTOR CORRUPTION. U END UP PREACHING TO THE CHOIR.
REDUCE GOVT SPENDING. LOWER PUBLIC SECTOR SALARIES. MORE MANUFACTURING. CORRUPTION COURTS. MORE PRIVATE SECTOR ROBUST BUSINESSES. LOWER IMPORTS AND FREE TRADE.
WE NEED AN ATTITUDINAL CHANGE TO MAKE THE ECONOMY WORK IN GH.
PROGRESS IS A MODEL OF PRODUCTIVE DESTRUCTION. U NEED TO MAKE MISTAKES BEFORE YOU SUCCEED. THE GOVT SHOULD PULL BACK AND ALLOW THE ECONOMY TO PROGRESS. TOO MUCH GOVT INTERVENTION STIFLES PROGRESS.
06/17/2013: Just this morning, Montreal Mayor Michael Applebaum was arrested at his home by the city's anti-corruption police. "Tens of thousands" were paid in bribes in return for permit approvals police say.
THE GH GOVT MUST CONTACT RAMON ANG, PRESIDENT OF SAN MIGUEL CORP IN THE PHILLIPINES. WE ARE SLEEPING IN GH, JOKER$!

JJ dare not call a spade in the citadel of corrupt politicians. No, JJ got USD5 million from Abacha.
JJ only makes noises about people like Prof Mills who refused to lick JJ's boots.

Why do you hide behind somebody's name to write your views? You can choose whatever name you want but not another person's real name. This is not fair. So please STOP.

How does any rational beign think that Rawlings will dare condemn the Nigerian gov't. over corruption? He is reeling in it, his entire family is corrupt and stinks like rotten bush meat! He has no guts to open his mouth in that direction. See the speed at which his office is distancing itself from the so -called fabricated story? He is afraid of the outcome from the Alata people; they will wash his dirty linen in the clear view of the whole wide world!

I have read the entire text and although I have not seen nor read the said article the former president is complaining about, I blame his own team what this state of affairs for a simple reason: When you deliver a Keynote address like this at such an important gathering, you must always be sure that the media would report it in the way the deem fit and can 'twist' your words to suit their own devices.

What President Rawlings' team should have done was publish or make a copy of the full text available and distributed to the journalists at the even. Pure and simple. If they did not do that, then that is most surprising. Any how, that still does not excuse those journalists who 'distorted' his speech.

Since when is Mr Rawlings or even some of them "presidents". Journalist should write properly, they are FORMER state of heads and not "presidents".

In Africa there are a lot of not well educated journalist and politicians. Some of these journalist create a platform which may cause misinterpretation and strange facts.

The fact is..HE IS NOT A PRESIDENT. He used to be a President. So, now you cannot still call him president. He does not carry the title anymore. You may perhaps say it is just a title, but this is causes war, hatrage and etc in various African nations.

So, don't stay backwards and don't limit yourselves. At the end of the day most of the Africans start blaming the "white man" but you should blame yourselves!
