AUTHOR : SULE******
.............It seems the NDC gov't is running against time to send Ghana into the pits and it is extremely worrying, very, very worrying that, such a magnitude of ineptness, incompetence, recklessness and corruption can be brought to bear on our governance structures in such a crass manner. This Fortiz/Merchant bank deal deal from all indications is putrid, it stinks to the high heavens and nothing can justify such an atrocious deal, when Ghanaian taxpayers, from all indications are not getting any VALUE FOR MONEY in this stinking deal. Omane Boamah, MD should seek to explain why an equity firm which cannot even boast of the asset base to even acquire a non-financial banking license, should be made to take on this onerous task of not even a merger, but a full complete acquisition of Merchant bank, when Ghanaian taxpayers, have been offered far, far better VALUE FOR MONEY propositions from identifiable bodies with a portfolio of assets eclipsing over 100 billion dollars? It is indeed mindboggling the level of impunity and recklessness which has been unleashed on the affairs on governance by this NDC gov't. Ghana indeed deserves better than this recklessness which is permeating all facets of governance in this country. It's awfully pathetic.

Dr. Kumbour in its administration nonsense again. What the public is interested in is to make the deal transparent for all of us to see. Who is to come first and who second might be a part of the game, but irresponsible and not important in this case. It your duty to make laws that protect the interest of the state and also me any deal transparent for Ghana to see.

Soo many issues are at the court before it become known to the general public because of your fishy internal deals.

How can a deal be made without the consent of also the minorities.

If Kumbour does not remember, he should go back to 2004 and read what Alban Bagbin said about the then Speaker. He told him that he Bagbin had been elected by his consituency and that the Speaker had no Constituency. When even Presidents are being castigated and criticised daily daily, you think the Speaker's position is sacrosanct? The speaker is just the head of parliament. He is not God. If he does not want to be criticised, he should go and stay in his house and not be in public office.

Honestly speaking, the NPP as a party is doing this country a very big harm. What is it that made them think they are the only people in this country who have the right to rule? Why are they taking Ghanaians for granted? It is like they are first class citizens in this country and have the right to do whatever they like and go scot free. Ghanaians are watching with keen interest. By the way, why did the NPP not see it right to investigate and make the ugly noise when Kufour gave out our cherished Vodafone on silveer plater just because of his stomach? What about the sale of the Ghana Airways? And the Drill ship? This is the criminal people want Ghanaians to respect. Ghanaians would rather give that respect to the dogs on the street instead of Kufour. How much share has he and his family and cronies in the oil? Then idiots and illiterates like Jake would get up and talk rubbish saying Jerry should behave like Kufour. Mother fucker a thousand times! What is it that Jerry have to learn from this dirty criminal called Kufour? I urge the NDC membership to stand firm against their dirty and diabolical plans to make this country ungovernable. As if that is not enough, certain people who claimed to be men of God, all of a sudden have voice on corruption, but were blind when that dirty black thief called Kufour was looting this country. Was it becasue they partook in the looting! Fuck you all! Come what may, Ghanaians will vote Mahama, no matter your dirty and bush behaviour.

Having spent most of my adult life in advanced western democratic countries, it is fair to say, with all the facts available, that some the current Ghanaian MPs are just incompetent, ignorant and behaving like empty barrels! They are not fit to hold the office as Parliamentarians, and in short are not fit for purpose!!

After all, charity begins at home, the common adage! If they as MPs cannot follow simple rules and regulations, process and procedure within the House working framework, how do they expect we ordinary Ghanaians to obey the laws of the country?

Ghanaians are very intelligent, clever and hardworking people however, our attitudes, behaviours and total commitments to a national causes are one of the major obstacles to our socio-economic development. A one country, we need more than moral revolution to transform our country. I know we can do it if we change our backward mindset.

Its guns and make an example of the Min Leader,in the person of Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu,since he has not put his so-called vast 'knowledge' of Parl Rules & Procedures to the benefit of his caucus. In fact,he is always at the forefront of any unruly agitations,his group has exhibited. This is shameful,and it has to stop!
He was the Maj. Leader,when Begyina Sekyi-Hughes strippred the official residence of the Speaker bare,taking anything and everything including soap dishes,china & cutlery,area rugs,you name it! Even though he offered to pay restitution for all these items illegally removed from the premises, did he actually pay a pesewa? I do not believe anyone would be too far off the mark if tey suggested Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu was complicit in that shameful conduct!
He and his bunch should therefore let our 'ears rest'.

Apart from this despicalble looting episode you have cited,were they not the group which supervised the 'giveways' involving Ghana Telecom;the Jubilee Oilfields;Ghana Airways;affordable housing units, etc?
Do theyy think we have forgotten how various SPAs were 'smuggled' through the legislature in the dead of night,during the last seconds of their

The issue in contention which Ghanaians want the august house to unravel is the impropriety of the sale of merchant bank and all the controversies surrounding it, involving the Presidency.
The facts which have come to the fore indicates that, the Speaker shirked his responsibility, the Speaker abrogated his constitutional obligation to the masses by throwing out the motion. Ghanaians are saying that, the sale of merchant bank is fraudulent and they want the House to investigate the matter, which the constitution allows, and indeed, there are cases in court and again in parliament to support the motion brought into the house. The very sensitive nature of the matter demanded that, the Speaker did not act capriciously and his actions were not whimsical, by towing the line and position of the executive, in the light of the evidence available, which flouts all the laws in the book concerning the sale of the bank to Fortiz Equity Fund, with the Presidency being implicated in the matter. That is what Ghanaians want investigated to effectively provide the checks and balances and in the interest of the gov'ts own position of deepening transparency and accountability. The Speaker of the house erred egregiously by throwing out the motion and this bully pulpit attempt by the majority to reroute the conversation is manifestly unacceptable. Governance and we mean good governance as well as the transparency associated with it is being bastardized by the NDC gov't with it's majority in parliament and it doesn't bode well for Ghana in the context of the APRM, and also in advancing the socio-economic development of the nation when issues of corruption underpins the sale of assets such as merchant bank.
