This victoria hammah affair is of major concern , let us not forget even in America president Nixon was forced to resign or face impeachment for much much less as all he did was eavesdrop. here pepeni has confirmed he was able to bribe and therefore tamper with the justice system. any country which has citizens above the law is doomed to failure. the seriousness of this matter makes me wonder how cowardly or profoundly corrupt are most of our institutions such as all the political parties , the police , army and judiciary. pepeni should be made to account and be punished . God has made us to know what kind of a scoundrel and rouge this pepeni is by making his secrets slowly know to all of us . first he instigates the murder of his Akan king mills , organizes the cover up and rigs the elections and seals it by bribing the judges. today the govt is not functioning and we are going backwards , no more serious investors coming only those who wish to exploit and rape the wealth of the nation . in the ministries and govt institutions nobody is patriotically serving the nation as all are now afraid to act lest some pepeni or ayigbe decides they want that position or destroy the work. the moral fiber of society is seriously challenged as it is now the norm to be corrupt and steal . ministers are in charge of sectors they have no clue about so cant give direction , an account at finance , a secretary at transport, a schoolboy with nothing in his head at trade and industry , and a pepeni who who never saw the sea before he was 40 at fisheries , incompetence galore and they run around accusing and blaming the innocent for their own non performance and inaction . hopeless fools

Just give the Prez some kudos for this. At least, now people will think twice before deciding to lobby for official positions, down from DCEs, Board of Directors, MDs of govt-owned entities, Presidential staffers, Ministers and co.

he President’s pronouncement on the sale of state bungalow to government official, did not go far enough to root out corrupt practices in society and government. Does that mean that any person, other than a government official could purchase a bungalow? He should have said that the government would divest itself from the real estate business and would no longer sell bungalows. Not to anyone.

This President can't be serious. Is he telling that those who purchased government properties including bungalows and cars under dubious and fraudulent circumstances are home free?

This NDC government is a disgrace to the party that was born out of the revolution. Strangely, John Jerry Rawlings is standing on the sideline crapping for all the senseless corruption going on There is a price to pay for these fraudulent activities.

John Mahama and Rawlings, as students of history, must learn from the tragic event of June 4 and December 31
