Now, they admit there is corruption. They admit Vicky Hammah was not alone with her desires. Their only fear is that, at this level of insane corruption, some crazy gang of soldiers are - God forbid - going to take over. Ghanaians must act before that time comes.

AUTHOR : WOMANS WISDOM-------------*******You can say whatever you want about ex president Kuffour but I can tell you with all sincerity that president Kuffour is the best among all the past governments because he made a whole lot of developmental programs that have placed Ghana on the right path to success. He was able to bring in money from the international community to construct important projects that is uncomparable to any done by any past or present government. Focus your mind on the Bui dam, and it is Kuffour. Gaze at the discovery of OIL and it is Kuffour. Look at N 1 and Akwapim mountain Highway and it is Kuffour. The building of all three main sports stadia and it is Kuffour. Kuffour is the originator of Free maternal care, the national health insurance scheme (NHIS), school feeding program for students,metro mass transport, free cocoa spraying for farmers, improved workers salary, easy availability of loans for workers and small businesses, restoring and face lifting of government buildings left dilapidated by evil NDC. Notably, the Castle & Peduase Lodge, rebuilt the Flag staff house. Kuffour ensured freedom of speech, brought the national youth employment scheme,raised ghana from HIPC to lower middle income economy, and many many more. It took him just eight years to do all those. NDC has been on the spot light as a ruling government for a total of about 25 years, there is not even one single developmental project, not even one... come on and how foolish can anyone be to do nothing but insult such a statesman? If this stupid group called Inside Ghana (NDC thieves)has nothing good to say about Kuffour, they must go probe Mahama the chief thief, Atta Mills the hypocrite and JJ Rawlings the murderer and all will not be the same again. Fools.

Author: OYOKOBA...
The truth must be told, anokware John Mahama cannot do the job.

This guy came to the job offering no real vision for the nation, instead he only served up absolute nonsense - Ede be keke - which for some, loosely translates into just existing at the wheels, not knowing which direction to go. To add insult to injury, he is telling us that, like a car, he is only in the first gear in a four-year term, so we can expect to see a fourth gear only in the fourth year. To hear that allegory from a guy and a president who had been a vice-president for the previous four years, and claims that because of the ill-health of Atta Mess, he John Mahama was really the one in charge behind the scenes, then we have reasons to conclude nothing good or extraordinary can be expected that is different from what we have seen from the last four years. The value is going to be the same, and corruption is going to consume all of us under Mahama. Our people tell us, 'Edwa beso'a efiri anopa', to wit, one can gauge the prospects of a good market day from the signs the morning activities project. Right now the country is sinking fast from all reliable indicators. In the last four years, the cedi has depreciated a whole 100 percent under Mahama and Atta Mess. What other assurances are we waiting for? To be hit on the head with bricks?

Look, John Mahama is not cut for prime time, he does not know how, and all his protestations are excuses to cover incompetence and corruption in high places, of which him and his party are direct beneficiaries. What the fuck is Ede be keke? Nonsense!

now we see the international community through their credit agencies moody's marking the state of the country's economy as going from bad to worse in reality its just hopeless as long as pepeni and his crooks are there . this time their feeble hogwash bullshit excuses of blaming the npp and the Akans has been exposed .they did not fall for the story of not being able to work because of a petition or that a drill ship saga undermines their ability to perform but looked at the facts and saw the govt is a useless piece of shit and the only reason its not worse is the effort of the industrious enterprising Akan. they are so busy stealing and working to sabotage and undermine the Akan economy due to their intrinsic envy and hate that they have got no time for anything else . even here we see they go into a hysterical frenzy when they hear the patriotic nationalist call of yen Akanfuo as they do not know what it means so think it means what they think when they conspire against the Akans . Akans unlike the scots , yugoslavs , russians etc are not allowed to think of political solutions that dont include them ruling .pepeni is a natural born toxic liar who has surrounded himself with grossly incompetent ministers with suspect criminal motives . not a single minister came to to office with projects, ideas, solutions or even concepts of how to move the economy forward except steal and take bribes for work not done . they count on the blind support of their tribesmen and a system that ensures they will always declare themselves as the winners of any election . we saw the determination of the people to remove them from there and how very naively some went to sleep over night to exercise this power , little did they know that ayigbe jj had already put his key men in place to rig these elections . the only way to secure true democracy is with a war or revolution until then we remain in this desolate wilderness of pepeni /ayigbe evil. long live the republic of Akan

The motherfucker akpeteshie red mouth Tatsu Tsikata decided to borrow over $40 million from the French, looking for oil in Keta although he knew the oil is in the West Coast. He and Ashawo-ba JJ were looking for independent Trokoland for Ewes with plenty of oil but God is not stupid, he found nothing. In the end foolish Ghanaians have to foot the bill and he still goes around talking nonsense.

A cattle producer in Alberta, Chuck Grovelled, was elected to the
committee for the Beef Information Center by the Alberta Cattle
Commission earlier this month. During his speech to win election, he
told the following story:
"A fellow went into a restaurant and asked 'What's the special of the
day?'
The waiter replied, 'Beef Tongue.'
The fellow said, 'Ugh! I don't want anything coming out of a cow's
mouth. Fry me up a couple of eggs!'

Akufo Addo will not show his law certificates and how he got admitted to the bar in Ghana , we protect him, CJ got land at give away price and is still at post, Jake buys government bungalow and we allow it, another ex minister bought Ghana International house, another strips his bungalow of everything, then we have GYEEDA etc .

Individuals like you is the reason corruption cannot be dealt with decisively in Ghana. In your warped trokosi and NDC way of thinking, you mentioned umpteen 'examples' of corruption from the NPP camp, and yet you came up with "GYEEDA etc.' from your notoriously corrupt NDC government. With your shameful skewed way of thinking do you expect to be counted among human beings? Hell NO!

I am not surprised by your reaction to my piece because stealing and corruption are in your genes passed down to you by your cat and goat stealing ancestors.
Mahama is on record as having inflated the prices of air craft he ordered for the armed forces. He murdered Mills in order to escape opprobrium. Parliament has remained Mum over this case and the committee Mills set up to investigate the case died a natural death after his murder. The money mahama has been stealing from the national treasury is what has made his brother "rich". THE EVIL THAT MEN DO LIVES BEFORE THEM.

Since the ousting of Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, the CROWN OF GHANA has fallen into the GUTTER. Our beloved Country now needs a selfless leader to pick up this CROWN and get the Country out of the GUTTER. There is no way CROOKS are going to take over the Country and run it. Most Ghanaians have now become politically aware and for those who voted for the present government, a large number of them have shown remorseness, judging by the statements most of them have made during the numerous strikes that have taken place in the last 6 months. May God Bless Our Beloved Nation.

Change of attitude towards the acquisition of wealth and how corruption is tackled and punished are what can effectively tackle corruption in the country.Ghanaians do not question the sources of wealth of politicians and public servants and corruption is not punished when people are caught indulging in it.I have never seen any public officer singled out by the auditor for corrupt practices punished by the authorities.Corruption in Ghana is now more prevalent and entrenched all because it is not punished.GHANA IS TRULY A FUNNY NATION;EVEN THE OFFICE CLEANER OR MESSENGER WANTS TO OWN A HOUSE AND RIDE IN A CAR.

If this statement from Dr. Kunbuor is correctly reported, it demonstrates this Dr. Kunbuor is living in 'la-la' land! Dr. Kunbuor has reportedly made other public statements which suggests that he is not in touch with the reality of massive thievery by operatives of his political party. The record is already documenting that Kwame Nkrumah was the only president Ghana has had who did not massively loot the Ghana state treasury. For evidence, I dare any of you to show me any evidence that has been uncovered in the many years since his death that Kwame Nkrumah has a huge stash hidden any where. In contrast, the various military dictators had stashes. Even for the ones among them who preached 'probity and accountability", we know that no one in Ghana owns a speed boat and has multiple properties in various parts of the country who has not personally managed to stash millions in overseas bank accounts under the names of partnerships, corporations and/or trusts. If Dr. Kunbuor does not know that the NDC operatives who controlled the office of Atta-Mills' presidency were not operating as an organized crime unit, then he needs to go back to school to learn some more. Corruption and graft has been a 'clear and present' as well as persistent presence in Ghana in the last 50 something years, but is has taken on frightening dimensions under the Atta-Mills and now Mahama regimes. Ghana is a thoroughly corrupt and lawless country and the lawlessness and corruption is springing from the very top!

Felloe Ghanaians! We will be making a grave mistake if we limit the corruption debate to politicians. Mind you, the bureaucracy especially Directors and Finance Officers are key facilitators of corrupt activities in the Ministries, Departments, Agencies and the District Assemblies. They have played key roles over the years, which transcend governments in sustaining the corruption infrastructure, know-how and modus operandi as they rape this country, which ironically glorifies wealth irrespective of how it is gotten. Spread the net and bring to scrutiny, as well, civil and public servants in positions of authority. They are more dangerous. Worse than politicians in some cases. Political corruption hardly occurs without the direct collaboration and cooperation of the civil/public servants. God save Ghana.

MPs', please put your heads together and go to work. The hope of the people depends on you.You were voted to paliaments to serve our interest and not to aquire wealth for yourselves. Therefore put in place measures to check corruption which is openly practiced by all MPs.The rich MPs,they start by buying votes and even commit murder to win. Qualified candidiates do not stand a chance. We know all of these because you do it openly without punishment.MPs', please, go to work to help Ghanaians to gain trust for your leadership again.Declare assets if you think you aquired it legally, purnish MPs' who uses their wealth to get what they want. God bless our MPs. God bless Ghana.

An MP robber breaks into the house of a family just after they left to go to church one evening. He is rummaging through the upstairs rooms when he hears a voice saying,"Jesus is watching you!"
He is puzzled, and thinks maybe the family has come home. He sneaks downstairs and, seeing nobody, starts pulling through the silver cabinet. Again, right behind him , he hears, "Jesus is watching you!" He freezes, and slowly turns around with his arms up. But there is nobody there. Puzzled, he turns his flashlight on and shines it in the direction of the voice.

He sees a big birdcage. Inside it sits a big yellow parrot. "Bwaak...Jesus is watching you!" the parrot calls. The robber laughs and says, "Oh, I suppose your name is Jesus, huh little birdie?" "Bwak...no."says the bird "My name is Moses." "Moses!?!" says the robber. "What kind of sick people name their bird Moses?" "Bwak....the same sick people that named their pit bull 'Jesus'".
