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

Mr Agyekum don't even bother explaining to Ghanaians. Jealousy is what is eating Rawlings up. He doesn't get the recognition Kufuor is enjoying both international and local. After nineteen years in power, he sent Ghana into JIPC only for Kufuor to turn things around in just eight year by turning Rawlings's mess to a low MIDDLE INCOME country. Which of them has brains? Your guess is as good as mine

Kufuor retirement package sparks outrage.

There is public outrage in Ghana over the generous retirement package for ex president John Kufuor and other former heads of state, which was approved on 6 January, the day before Kufuor stepped down from power.

The provisions include two residences – including one in Accra – six vehicles, paid overseas travel, medical and dental treatment, an entertainment budget, $1 million in seed money for the establishment of a foundation and other miscellaneous benefits.

The package has drawn criticism from the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) and also from Kufuor’s own New Patriotic Party (NPP), with some members of parliament on both sides claiming they knew nothing about it beforehand. “Why should we give our ex-presidents these expensive things while people in Nima and other places in the country lack public toilets?” asked Dan Botwe, former NPP general secretary and current MP for Okere. His colleague Appiah Ofori, MP for the Asikuma Odoben Brakwa constituency in Central Region, has threatened to go to court to challenge the measures, which he describes as “obscene”.

Kufuor has not commented publicly on the package although he has made it known through the newspaper “Daily Guide” that he thinks three cars are sufficient for a retired president.

Ashawo-ba JJ is demanding that Ghana builds a new house for him of which he torched it himself. JJ went from a Yokogari creditor to one of the richest in Ghana and still thinks he is not corrupt. JJ is always trying to fool Ghanaians that he lives a modest life but his wife even travels inside Ghana with GHc 20,000 on only one trip from Accra to Takoradi. What did he do with all the pure Gold he stole from the Obuasi Gold mines? We are not kids my friend, we were there and we saw it all when JJ first arrived.

This are the type of people you line and whip for pleasure. Didn't former NPP party chairman complaints bitterly about Kufour hijacking every money coming to the party, didn't Kufour son who cannot pay his mortgage in North Carolina was able to buy a hotel within a short time his father becomes president, did he not hear it all over that Anane paid his girlfriend $100.000.00 at that time even USA they will have investigate Anane but jungles like ghana don't have room for that so he is now preparing himself to be president so his son, girlfriend can also buy hotels and so on

The White House warned kufuor to fight corruption.

PRESIDENT BUSH: Mr. President, thanks. First of all, it's an honor to be in your country, and it's an honor to be with you. I don't know if the people of your country truly understand your standing in the international community, but you are one of the most respected international leaders. You have represented your country well, you have represented the continent of Africa well, and you represent certain basic values extremely well. So it's an honor to be with you today.

President George W. Bush speaks with Ghana President John Agyekum Kufuor during their meeting at Osu Castle, Wednesday, Feb. 20, 2008 in Accra, Ghana. White House photo by Eric Draper You're right, you and I are both finishing our term -- but you forgot to say that we're both going to finish strong. (Laughter and applause.)

PRESIDENT KUFUOR: That is a politician I talk about. (Laughter.)

PRESIDENT BUSH: You mentioned the Millennium Challenge Account. And I believe you're the first country on the continent of Africa to receive a grant. And we did so because we believe in supporting governments that fight corruption? invest in their children, invest in the health of their citizens, believe in marketplace economies -- and that's exactly the way you've led your country.

And so ours is a -- it's certainly not a gift. It is given in a cooperative spirit that (inaudible) people. And we believe that it is in our national interest to promote freedom and democracy, as well as help the citizenry make the (inaudible). And you've led the way, Mr. President; it's been very easy to support your government.

And I appreciate you bringing up disease. There's no doubt in my mind that given some help, the government of Ghana -- led by you, sir -- will eradicate malaria. It's going to take a lot of work and a lot of organizations to do this, and support from the international community -- which you will have -- and I predict to the people of Ghana that when you look back at President Kufour's leadership, you'll say this was the beginning of the end of the disease (inaudible).

So I appreciate your leadership, my friend, and I want to thank you very much for this warm hospitality. I do want to thank the people of Ghana -- at least those we've seen so far -- for getting up early, lining the streets and waving with such enthusiasm. It made us all feel great, and it's a part of the trip I've really been looking forward to. So grateful for your hospitality. Thank you, sir. (Applause.)

Even the KG child who identified Nana Addo as the president of Ghana but not Mills could have equally described Rawlings as an empty talkative. His words carry no wisdom, no statistical inference, just raw like uncooked palm nut soup. His statements only breed disunity and hatred among people. Unfortunately, people like Kofi Adams will always try hard to interpret his words as if they want to add salt to tasteless stew. When Asiedu Nketia described him as a barking dog on leash, some of us felt that, he was old enough to be accorded some decorum. But now he is not only a baking dog but also a Dung Beatle. His politics is just a load of trash, feacal residue; usesless and unstatemanlike. If he wants to gain any recognition, he better pick his hoe and start making farms at Tefle, his hometown.

Frank, you must be blunt and tell that murderer of Rawlings that he is sick in the head. We are fed up with him and I am sure God has his own plans to deal with this man and set example for all his (Rawlings) likes.

Ghanaians are wide awake now and for the sake of freedom of speech this murderer rawllings keeps on spewing lies to regain his lost popularity. A man who ascended the throne with nothing and started to 'kill' Ghanaian businesses particularly those of Akans all in the name of a senseless revolution ended up amassing wealth. Who gave this demented guy the platform to talk about corruption in Ghana? How did his wife manage to buy the Nsawam cannary, and how was he able to educate his children in the UK if he was all that clean as he wants us to believe? Yet NDC foot soldiers don't see anything wrong with this obese Ewe murderer.The guy is indeed sick in the head and will say anything just to be in the limelight again, but no matter how hard he tries he will never match the international recognition being accorded to Kuffour.

The mafia was looking for a new man to make weekly collections from all the private businesses they were 'protecting'. Feeling the heat from the police, they decided to use a deaf person for the job. That way, should he get caught, he would be unable to communicate to the police what he was doing.
During his first week on the job, the deaf collector picks up over $60,000. He quickly becomes greedy, decides to keep the money and hides it in a safe place. Realizing that their collection is late, the mafia sends some of their hoods after the deaf collector. The hoods find the deaf man and ask him where the money is. Since the deaf collector is unable to communicate with them, they drag him to an interpreter.

The mafia hood tells the interpreter, "Ask him where da money is." The interpreter signs "Where's the money?" to the deaf man.

The deaf man signs back, "I don't know what you're talking about."

The interpreter says to the hood, "He says he doesn't know what you're talking about."

The hood takes out a pistol, places it in the deaf collector's ear and says, "NOW, ask him where da money is."

Again the interpreter signs, "Where's the money?"

The deaf man signs, "The $60,000 is in Central Park. It's hidden in the fifth tree stump on the left from the West 78th Street gate."

The interpreter turns to the hood and says, "He says he still doesn't know what you're talking about and doesn't think you have the guts to pull the trigger!"

This is the man who brags of being a CIA agent and at the same time as National Security Advisor. What is he saying about this warning coming from the CIA? At times, it is quite amazing to hear people who chastise some old politicians as being agents to the US spy agency while keeping "mute" over what Nunoo Mensah said without mincing words.

Hypocrisy is destroying Ghana and this man would have been jail for spying while being a general in the Ghana army. NDC supporters have been mute because Nunoo Mensah is one of them but they will not hesitate to brand J.B Danquah as someone who tirelessly, aligned himself with the CIA without any concrete proof.
