Ei...... IMANI? This does not mean the money was used to by the fortiz. What evedence do you have? you see as a so called think tank, what you should do is the brief analysis gone deeper and some investigative intelligence to substatiate the claim.
This clearly means IMANI is a pro political party and makes your organisation bias and could therefore not be called a think tank!

Now that its clear and exposed that this regime is burdened toxic tribalism , thieving corruption and hegemony we shall now elaborate on the other pillar which is the crudest form of cult personality politics . cult personality politic has led our country into ruins and collapsed all economic prosperity. cult personalitis hstarted in the days of nkrumah and were modified by evil wicked ayigbe kwasea jj. we see what it has done to north Korea , what happened to china under mao , Russia under Stalin , Germany with Hitler , Libya with Gaddafi , Yugoslavia with Tito and the list is endless . under the guise of cult personalities unheard of atrocities against their own citizens are committed as we ourselves also witnessed with jj and nkrumah since all these leaders in their blasphemous style governance think they are gods above God and therefore are infallible and can not make any mistakes . these psychopaths cause such pain and misery to the majority of there people but feel no remorse or guilt for their actions rather blow the trumpet of always blaming the innocent as we with the barking dog jj today. no nation with these kind of cult personalities dominating their leadership has ever succeeded in developing or reaching their full potential. their systems are best eradicated with a revolution or war so the people have a chance of a fresh start , coups are never enough as they only replace one criminal with another . pepeni has capitulated to whom its not so clear but its evident in his whining and crying that he says he is not liked , loved or respected so we suspect jj is now again ruling by proxy with the help of his ayigbe homicidal criminals . we must now ready the people for the inevitable which is war and we Akans shall be victorious . We all noticed pepeni was shunned and snubbed by all the other presidents in south africa except his unpopular colleague zuma since the whole world now knows he is a fake , an imposter and a good for nothing clown of an idiot .he best just think of how best he may resign before the blood flows in the streets as cult personality politics never end peacefully , a word to the wise long live the republic of Akan

How come Fortiz has not disclose who their owners are? Could it be Ibrahim Mahama, the man who brought Merchant Bank on its knees is also a partner in Fortiz? How do we know Fortiz is not a front for stolen state money or owned by money launderers? This is where IMANI should probe. That will be so rotten and day light corporate raid.

I am fully with you on this crusade to demand an accountability from NPRA. Iremember writing to the NPRA demanding explanation of why my statement of contributions to the fund never commenced in January 2010, even though moneies were propmtly lodge in the Temporary Account set up for the purpose at the Bank Of Ghana. No response came from Mr Sam Pee Yalley.

Furthermore, I challenged the returns being reported as false, diversionary and deliberately ca;lculated to cheat the Ghanaian Work of his/her rightful earnings.

For instance, how can you charge interest on a monthly basis and for the 12 months only add the meagre monthly interests as the total earnings on all contributions for the year without cumulatively accounting for the compounding intersets that should been earned on a month by month basis to one's contributions.

Let us form an association to fight this meanace of plain cheating that is the beginning of BIG TIME corruption at the NPRA.

May I suggest the name of TIER 2 PROVIDENCE UNION

Oh Ghanaians ! What at all do we want for this great nation of ours ? From all the garbage that IMANI GHANA has poured out into the public domain nothing shows that the allegation that Tie 2 pensions fund has been used to purchase Merchant Bank. Indeed, I wish to point out to those managers of the IMANI Organization that they are only speculating and creating public hatred against an individual which is very unfortunate. We are indeed behaving like crabs.

WHY ARE SSNIT CONTRIBUTORS SO QUIET OVER THIS FORTIZ SCAM? GOVT DOES NOT OWN MERBANK AND THEREFORE CANNOT SELL IT. ONLY SSNIT CONTRIBUTORS CAN GIVE APPROVAL FOR THE SAALE OF MERBANK. ONLY THEY CAN STOP SSNIT FROM TOYING WITH THEIR FUTURE THROUGH THE FORTIZ SCAM. WORKERS MUST URGE THE TUC TO SUE SSNIT AND THE BANK OF GHANA BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

Increasingly it is becoming obvious that, this criminal loot of merchant bank has it's tentacles firmly rooted in the NDC gov't with it's antecedents, starting right from the office of the president with other principal architects being, his lawyer friends, brother, the governor of the BoG, the head honcho of SSNIT, Mr. Thompson, M. Hedo of FirstBanC etc,etc, all falling over themselves in a desperate bid to shortchange hard working Ghanaians of their sweat and toil. The corruption and looting being perpetrated by the Mahama gov't is now through the roof. The affected entities implicated in this rearing criminal scandal need to come clean, on the issues being raised. The level of stealing has gone completely overboard. Ghana is experiencing the worst form of governance and theft, clearly unprecedented in the annals of governance under this Mahama administration. It's like the genie bottle has been opened and Ali Baba and the forty thieves have taken over shouting "open sesame" everywhere they turn, looting left, right and center, like it's nobody's business. This is the e de bee k3k3 at it's peak - gargantuan thievery.

That is right. Mahama has turned Ghana into animal farm. There will soon be a revolt. Mark my words. The stealing and looting cannot go on ad infinitum. Yesterday it was Jeremiah. Tomorrow it is going to be a Moses

The tragic irony is that there is every indication that the PENSION FUND MAFIA includes the regulator, the bank of Ghana.

I'm trying to find the head and tail of this allegation. Do we have a slight reason to believe pensioners money was used for buying of Merchant Bank? All the talks dont point to that fact. Imani should understand that, disserning minds are reading and listening. Is this just a suspicion like the election petition ?

Let Fortiz come out openly to declare the source of the money they used to buy the Merchant Bank after barely 5 months of their existence. Mawuli Hedo as a director of the First Banc who are supposed to be managing the Pension Fund is also a director of Fortiz who is buying the Merchant Bank that is also owned by Pensioners. That is a red flag, obviously

How can any serious think tank engage in such irresponsible speculation? Your facts are inconclusive yet you come out and put it out there as if is the truth. What kind of think tank is this?

I am greatly disappointed by the way NPRA is handling issues and I feel that it is high time workers of this country rise up to bear their teeth toward this inhuman behavior . Workers need a respite after their pension and I don't think NPRA would want to drive pensioners early to their graves. Workers of Ghana arise and nib this ungodly act in the mud.

These imani guys are fond of being overly sensational and stupid in their analysis and reasoning. You hardly find any logic in their reasoning. Who is wasting money sponsoring them? Where is the evidence, because somebody is a director somewhere means that person is using that company's pension fund to purchase Merchant Bank. They make spurious arguments to hoodwink Ghanaians into believing them. Do they have balls?
