what a wonderful govt , we have all these compulsory fasting and holidays for these pepeni Muslims and its only now they remember we are predominately christian . no matter what we shall ban this menace Islam soon as they are a minority and in any normal country there would not be that much emphasis on Islamic holidays , gay rights or unbalance domination of minority ethnic / tribal groups in govt and govt institutions. we welcome ken agyapong as a leader and maybe if they are lucky nana addo may come in as his vice but personally i would prefer he takes an Akan radical nationalist as his vice since he himself is very liberal and moderate . Ghana belongs to the Akans and all those who dont want to be a part of it we would gladly save our money and give them their independence or autonomy .these pepeni/ayigbe fools we unhappy with prof eduboahen , kuffuor ,mills, nana addo and any Akan leader but when a new one arises the previous one who was considered inappropriate all of a sudden becomes more palatable . today these ndc idiots are all crying for alan cash and nana addo the moment they seen ken agyapong on the horizon coming in his full Akan glory. when ken is reject then perhaps a true hard core radical loyal to the akan cause will arise and then i will be appointed head of police or national security. then we shall see a change in the ratio , then 9 out of 10 convictions for various crimes of corruption and theft will be non Akans the rest will be those who treacherously betrayed us . we shall also see the exodus of the non Akans , the destruction of non Akan businesses and the general atmosphere and climate will be that all non Akans are criminals and should be shunned or denied and participation in crucial national affairs . yes we shall have our revenge and justice . no more free education for them , only for us . no more privatization of Akan resources to foreigners and those whose agenda is to undermine the Akan economy like we see with the gold industry and 10 billion every year leaving the country as we shall nationalize and redistribute to all our citizens. jj will meet the firing squad as he so rightly deserves . pepeni's father we hear was carrying toilet in nima before nkrumah made him a minister so we understand his intellectual deficiency and incompetence as his father couldnt give him love or buy him toys so he has because an envious , womanizing son of a bitch with sodomizing tendencies and greed beyond comprehension . then is coming soon as his days are numbered and will surely be held accountable for his non action in development and his deep seated corruption and evil soul .

Every thing that this MD got for retirement or exgratia should be paid back into the bank's account.
He does not deserve any exgratia or pay since he made the bank lose all its money. In addition, he should return the car for its the property of the bank.
I believe when he took office, he said he would make it better, but he did not. so I don't see why should be paid and given exgratia.
And for God sake, from now on, any MD salary should be directly related to the profits the banks makes.

They don't believe in working hard for anything. They want to reap where they never have never sown.

They are state sector dependent vermins and they are now using the cover of their controlled p/ndc gov't to appropriate for themselves state assets and treasury.

Who is infidel? Or you don't understand what you wrote? An infidel is a stranger, and who are strangers in Ghana? Trans -volta Togoland ! So what are you talking about.Ghana had 8 provinces before Trans-volta -Togoland voted by plebiscite to join us, and that was 1956 about 57yrs ago not even 60 years ago and you are making yourselves like Ghana is for you and you have the audacity to call somebody whose ancestors were here over 600years ago an infidel? Were your ancestors part of the bond of 1844? Do you know the significance of that date? Were you part of Gold Coast when the Sagranti war was fought? Commot from here ! You infidel with no history in Ghana.Tell me one history concerning trokosiland that was taught in school.We studied in school about the Ashantis, GAS, GUANS, AKYEM, FANTE, ADANGBE & KROBO , AKANS in general, the slave trade market in the north but no history about you and you making too much noise in Ghana.We will never give to you our country its our bonafide property given to us by our ancestors about over 600 years ago., Nkrumah brought you for votes and he is no more you can leave us in peace and form your Trans-volta Togoland who cares.

I think the story is political and judgmental. We need to know whether the payments made were in contravention of his conditions of service. The story is silent on that.

Lawyers and governmant Scholars must re-read themselves to the basic of this subject.THE POWER STATUTORY REPRESENTATION
1. Mr Andrew Awuni, and the overall NPP greedy followers should spare this country of their archaic understanding of law, divisive politics and gross interferences in the statutory management of the country. Seeing a former Presidential Spokesman and Minister of Energy of the standing of Andrew Awuni, mess himself up the way he did by exhibiting gross ignorance in the law of statutory representation is sad. Has Andrew Awuni forgotten that all Ghanaians paid tax into the consolidated fund out of which GTV was formed and subsequently sold out in a clearly dubious manner by the NPP?. What of the state lands the NPP following looted and sold out at fantastic prices? Can the citizens rise up and take the issue to court?...Finally, The masses voted for parliamentarians into parliament. The job of Ghana Law Makers is to among other issues listen and debate the budget, Vet Ministers of State, provide a vibrant, realistic and healthy informed options towards national development. Yet the minority MP refused to cooperate in ensuring all the above yet collected their salaries and allowances from the same President they condemned as a thief. As Law makers I wish to remind them that, aiding and abetting is a crime. Until the President was duly cleared by the Supreme Court if he approved of any money which they took from the state coffers that was deemed to be stealing or sharing the booty of a thief when caught faces the same offence as the ‘thieffer’.,…They should thank God the President was declared…….Having declared and pronounced him a thief and knowing well he was not truly and legally elected but “thiefed the verdict, the opposition law makers would have smelt shit. Any way why didn’t learned Andrew Awuni the strong hearted Northerner send the numerous illegalities to court in the name of the ordinary citizen,,,,,,,,. why didn’t Andrew take up the issue on behalf of the citizens to sue the law makers for their inactions…..Andrew please spare us of your hatred…for the state .

With this I am now convinced that Mahama is the most corrupt President of Ghana ever. For a sitting Presidents brother to be indebted to a bank that collapses, then the bank sold to a shady company which has as it's lawyer somebody who defended the President or his Party in a challenge to his election. And finally paying an unworthy MD an exgratia above the ability of many Ghanaians is honestly below the belt. If people in Ghana do not see any evidence of corruption in these turn of events then we are either naive or a bunch of unintelligent people on the continent of Africa. A Presidency which professes Christian virtues to think this is right is beyond my compression and I am fully convinced that there will be accountability one day even if it tarries for years

Folks will recall that during the 2007 election campaign, Rawlings and his NDC party went around the country tagging ex-Prez. Kuffour as a "tiiif" who'll be jailed along side his ministers and won't be spared.

The NDC through election fraud have entered the presidency again and everyone in the country has seen the kind of fraud and corruption that's going on. This time though, Rawlings feels those who've been caught deserve to steal from the nation's coffers, so refuses to talk about it. He'd rather turn around to accuse Kuffour for corruption years after the man has exited office.

These NDC-orchestrated crimes need to be investigated thoroughly. For what has been revealed so far, John Mahama has shown that he isn't up to the task; he's clueless about how to make the economy improve. He knows about all the dubious bank loans and sales that's causing pain to many Ghanaian retirees as it's also causing economic decline. Mahama has to step down or forced out of office before he auctions all State assets. He has to be impeached a.s.a.p.
