And you think papers can't last 100 years? Those documents were destroyed by NPP leaders to obfuscate criminal investigations when the need arises. You think they didn't think it out?

Do you remember offices that got burnt after Mills won? It was because NPP didn't want their financial malpractice unearthed. How many vehicles have they surrendered after Mills came in. Meanwhile we all knew Kufuor's government bought some 900 SUV it distributed even to those who didn't need it.

When Jerry John Rawlings was calling for Mills' government to cease documents and also obstruct NPP officials going to their offices immediately after Mills won the presidential elections insults were hurled at him. Now, of course we see his fury at Mills, and why he was right.

Why do you think this drill ship sale case didn't surface during Mills' term? It was because the person who recently unveiled it knew all cases of corruption was being thrown under the carpet because Mills didn't want to shoulder responsibility for hauling NPP officials to court.

Corruption is NOT difficult to fight or confront by some Ghanaians. The Only needed missing ingredient is POLITICAL WILL. Ghana has several Experienced and Talented citizens who abhor corruption and are prepared to serve for a pittance in fighting the CANKER if our Leadership in sincere.

What most Ghanaians must understand is that Corruption in Ghana is 'STATE SPONSORED' There is NO single Corrupt Act that does not commence or terminate with the agency of a Government Appointee or Official.

Why is it that in Ghana, those who find themselves in Govt and have the FORTITUDE to fight Corruption in their own 'Small Corner' of Govt., mysteriously get jettisoned and labeled 'NOT POPULAR IN THE PARTY'?

You voted for the most corrupt man and his followers are doing the same in the guide of NDC and you are complaining. Can the thief Omanhene reprimand the sub-chiefs in the kingdom? These are some of the pains and frustrations when half of the population refuse to think and follow foolish like a herd.

Agbenyo, in terms of volume there are more corrupt stories in this gov't than perhaps all the previous ones put together. But as soon as you heard NPP see how livid you are?

Corruption is bad but your gov't has taken it to heights never attained in Ghana.

Your president used the money to campaign and reward his cronies like Agambire. Agambire is a smart guy. That is why he is raising NINE BILLION DOLLARS for his project, and your prez is obviously a sharer in the spoils. Mahama is going to be rich, very rich but his name will go down in history as the most THIEVING PRESIDENT ever. His classmate will be people like Mobutu and Abacha, if that is what he wants.

IF THE DOCUMENTS WERE DESTROYED, WHEN WAS THIS DONE? IS NOT POSSIBLE THAT THEY WERE DESTROYED EVEN BEFORE THE 10YEARS? THE LAW SHOULD BE AMENDED. WHAT A BUNCH OF ROGUES WE ALL ARE. AS I SAY, IF YOU COME TO ANY COUNTRY AND FIND A LOT OF CHURCES AHD MOSQUES LIKE IN GHANA AND NIGERIA, THEN HONESTY IS SURPRISELY A RARE COMMODITY IN THESE SOCIETY. JUST CHECK ROUND THE WORLD. THE MOST CORRUPT COUNTRIES WHICH ARE TOP OF THE TRANSPARENCY LIST EACH YEAR HAVE SUCH FEATURES. EITHER THEY HAVE AN ABNORMALLY LOT OF MOSQUES OR CHURCES.

Classification of documents may be up to 20 - 50 years. It becomes a state property. Even if individuals exit government, records must be there to be verified and corrupt officials must be brought to book. Never throw away financial docs easily like that. Criminals will always find their ways out.

Too bad our laws give our national thieves 6 yrs. to lay a foundation and build an impreganable bunker to cover up their corrupt ways. Do we believe these cold hearted muggers of the state treasury will stiffen our laws to block their lucrative business?

Do you think the leaders will institute that and how can they steal and cover their acts? ICT? The name even scares the hell out of them. Anything going in Ghana is a deliberate attempt to siphon the blood of the nation and then what? I do not know if you read the report of the sole commissioner of the judgment debt. He said that some of those debts were paid twice and the documents covering them were destroyed so, this isn't something new.

How long has this practice been going on? Even the Sole Commissioner of the Judgment debt said that some of those debts were paid twice and the documents covering them were destroyed.

The funny thing about Ghanaians is that if armed robbers attacked, we cry as if hell has descended on us but in actual fact, the destruction being caused by the educated elite, far outweighs what armed robbers are doing. These thievery by the elite has deep repercussion affecting the unborn. Ghana is a failed nation because we the people are not honest and we love worshipping the vices that stagnates development than those that develops it.
