MAHAMA SIGNS HPV VIRUS, VACCINE
ITS A HOAX. GO TO WWW.NATURALNEWS.CM AND TYPE IN...The Great HPV Vaccine Hoax Exposed
THIS HPV VACCINE WONT HELP YOU. IT WILL SIMPLY MAKE UR SITUATION WORSE....
(NaturalNews) For the last several years, HPV vaccines have been marketed to the public and mandated in compulsory injections for young girls in several states based on the idea that they prevent cervical cancer. Now, NaturalNews has obtained documents from the FDA and other sources (see below) which reveal that the FDA has been well aware for several years that Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) has no direct link to cervical cancer.

NaturalNews has also learned that HPV vaccines have been proven to be flatly worthless in clearing the HPV virus from women who have already been exposed to HPV (which includes most sexually active women), calling into question the scientific justification of mandatory "vaccinate everyone" policies.
Furthermore, this story reveals evidence that the vaccine currently being administered for HPV -- Gardasil -- may increase the risk of precancerous cervical lesions by an alarming 44.6 percent in some women. The vaccine, it turns out, may be far more dangerous to the health of women than doing nothing at all.
If true, this information reveals details of an enormous public health fraud being perpetrated on the American people, involving FDA officials, Big Pharma promoters, and even the governors of states like Texas. The health and safety of tens of millions of young girls is at stake here, and what this NaturalNews investigative report reveals is that HPV vaccinations may not only be medically useless; they may also be harmful to the health of the young girls receiving them.
This report reveals startling facts about the HPV vaccine that most people will find shocking:
• How it may actually increase the risk of precancerous lesions by 44.6 percent.
• The FDA has, for four years, known that HPV was not the cause of cervical cancer.
• Why mandatory HPV vaccination policies may cause great harm to young girls.
• Why HPV infections are self-limiting and pose no real danger in healthy women
• Little-known FDA documents that reveal astounding facts about Gardasil
• How Big Pharma promoted its Gardasil vaccine using disease mongering and fear mongering

The Contractors Waterville should pay up the money. As a Public Interest case this should send a clear warning to all potential Contractors bidding for government contracts that make sure you read both then BOLD and SMaLL PRINTs. Secondly, if you allow politicians to help you circumvent national laws to win a government Contract, you don't have anyone to blame but yourself. This would help sanitise the system.

If these private Contractor is not forced to pay up, they would continue to use politicians to circumvent the law to win contractors illegally without any repercussions.

However if the law lays blame on them and make it known that as a private entity you would pay the price for the acquisition of contracts which did not go through due process it would serve as a deterrent for them to get politicians to front for them outside the the law.

What the SC has said in this case is that the onus of responsibility lies with the private company to ensure that it goes through due process to acquire government contract and that you would be responsible if that is not done. This would help clean up the Procurement System which in its current state politicians and their Watervilles have made nonesense of the law.

Waterville should be forced to pay up. It is in the national interest for them to do so. Clear warning to all future Contractors.

Waterville knew what it was doing when it got itself involved with this politician to break the laws of the land. Its Waterville who has the money paid to him. He should pay the money up. Next time around any future Waterville would do the right thing and respect our laws.

I think waterville has a case. This's because it was not their duty to send the contract to parliament to be approved. It was the duty of the then npp government to send the contract to parliament to be approved. The court erred in it's ruling so waterville should not pay the money. Kufour and his ministers should rather be haulled before the court to explain to Ghanaians why they did not seek parliamentary approval before awarding that contact.

If it is not their duty, then what is the motivation for any company to abide by the rules.

All they need to do is to get a politician and pay him or her to front for them to circumvent the rules and whether legitimate or not they get away with it for free. So what is the point of breaking the law if you can argue immunity. Everyone would use crooked politicians to break the law at will and our lawlessness would become worse by the day.

But when a company is aware that it has to abide by certain rules otherwise it personally would pay the consequences it would ensure that it does things properly before it signs up to a contract. This ruling would prevent crooked politicians fronting for companies like the Watervilles and help bring sanity into our procurement rules.

I totally agree with your last comments concerning crooked politicians fronting for companies. However, I still maintain my stand that waterville has a case in this litigation. This's because the crooked politicians who front for such companies should not be left to enjoy their booty whilst the companies are made scape-goats. It'll send a wrong signal to genuine investor that their investments would not be safe in our country. Hence the crooked politicians should also be made to answer for their reckless decisions which are incurring huge judgment debts for Ghana.

Dallas please if you read the article carefully you will realize that Waterville was not even awarded any contract. I have folloed this story from day one and what this journalist faild to do was to get all the facts of the story.
Waterville did put in a bid for a contract and was promised by a crooked politicians and some gov't goro boys but at the end of the day the Ghana Parliament which awards such contracts on behalf of the state did not award nor give any contract to Waterville. Waterville's case was that since they were "promised" of the contract they sought all the necessary financial assistance in the form of loans from international banks and therefore since they were denied they have to pay back the loans plus interest. This is the case they took to court and I don't know what kind of a judge awarded the judgement debt in their favor. So, in a nut shell there was NO CONTRACT BETWEEN Waterville and the Republic of Ghana period.

Waterville is culpapble for violating the laws of the country and should pay up.
