Mahama is just an idiot and such a hopeless material dressed in suit and
tie for nothing, he is brainless Cow.

Wasn't it this monkey who sworn in an
allegiance to the people of this country that he will protect the State properties, the people of this country
from both internal and external aggression, what is he telling the
people of this nation?

Senseless material who has not Presidential qualities and discipline.

Mahama said 'serious corruption must be investigated and culprits punished'. Look, every little counts. Even one cedi stolen from the taxpayers purse is punishable since officials receive remuneration for their services. Why should you steal the little from the masses. Mahama is very weak, he just talk and talk.

lets give him a chance to clean up his house however one does not need to wait as most of these things are crystal clear . one starts investigations if there is an established motive and evidence of a crime or loss . in most countries thats enough to warrant a suspension of public officials or civil servants . justice delayed is justice denied . as president he should be able to send people to test these criminal ministers and they cronies in the ministries as k4 used to do and not close a blind eye to the illogical or out of the ordinary deals being presented to cabinet such as this gmo Monsanto deal in agric or judgement debts non action etc

So when did the moronic ndc dunderheads learn you cannot arrest people without evidence? When Kuffour said almost the same thing like Mahama said by asking people to go to the Police and provide them with evidence if they know of a corrupt official, these kakistocrats from Ndc politicized it. Now Mahama is saying the same thing and the ndc mugwumps are praising him.

We cannot develop Ghana like this when we make decisions with our political shades on.

The trokosi Ambassador to England has come out to admit that he got 3 million check from K.T Hammond and opened an account in Ghana's name so K.T Hammond unlike Woyome and Ibrahim Mahama has done nothing to warrant an arrest.

The journalist who has posted the President's statement is a silly and foolish person. He took the part of the statement that suits him and the the NDC and President's opponents to give a big title for nothing. Did the President say that he cannot fight corruption? No and no. He said he cannot not under a constitutional regime arrest officials because that is not his responsibility to do it. The justice is there for that. There is a separation of powers under democracy. Only NPP fools do not understand that. By the way, how many officials did Kufuor arrest while in office?
The most corrupted are the ones making more noise,accusing everybody of corruption but that will not give them chance to seize power again because Ghanaians are not foolish.

I am not sure this fake Sgt Amani understands what the President is saying. It is not the duty of the President in a democracy to arrest people. It is the duty of the police, the judiciary to initiate, investigate and if proven, prosecute accordingly. The President is right. It is important to allow all arms of government and the security services to work. Can you imagine Ken Agyapong calling Jake a thief and the President getting him arrested when Jake had not been given the chance to defend himself.

So yesterday Rawlings stole the entire
assets of the State properties for his own selfish interest, if any body comes into Government that person
also should do the same, we shouldn't
stop it or find a means to eradicate it completely from our national society? AO! please don't be all that stupid and such an ignorant monkey

Baako, when the head is sick the whole body does not function. It's true the whole country is sick of corruption but since the presidents and their cronies are corrupt the whole country is corrupt. So the president is telling us that he is not aware that our police service, customs and his gov't officials are thieves. If she does not know he should be aware that Ghanaians know that he is as corrupt as anybody in the country who has access to public funds.

THE BLOOD OF THE INNOCENT KILLED BY JJ RAWLINGS AND HIS OUTFIT CRYING FOR JUSTICE.
The Bible stated that Cain killed his innocent brother Abel and the blood of Abel cried for justice. The same book says those who live by the sword will die by the sword.

Two points here; the blood mentioned could refer to the physical blood or the spiritual blood or both. In all cases JJ Rawlings a few days ago confessed that some innocent and good people were killed because the sacrifice was necessary.

He juxtaposed himself to be some kind of a fetish priest who demanded not the blood of animals to be sacrificed but the blood of innocent people to appease his own little gods in this barbaric way.

The international court of justice please take note of this confession so he can be tried for crimes against humanity.

JJ Rawlings, lastly is being tormented by both the physical and spiritual blood of let the blood flow victims through their cries and it is not surprising that today he rants and raves behaving badly as an ex head of state who cannot live in a dignified manner like all others around the world; Clinton, Bush, and even Kuffour, who is quietly being used by the UN to enhance the quality of life.

Asiedu Nketia labelled him as a barking dog. I think he is rather a mad, barking dog whose dog chain has been let loose in his mind; instead of encouraging and motivating young students to aim high to achieve their professional dreams and goals, he rather brainwashes them with poison, division, tribalism and disunity through his rants; teaching them how to insult ex presidents.

The blood of the following will continue to cry to the heavens until justice is done to him as he shows no remorse or repentance for those who died innocently. Eventually, he will end up like ghaddafi or saddam hussein or samuel do either with a bullet to his head or a sword through his arse; what a disgrace!

HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES

In addition to the 3 judges (who were not proven to have committed any crimes in a court of law) the following also were, innocently killed and today the innocent (from all tribes) blood ; still speaks and cries for justice:

Ghanains are urged to have patience for time-buying pace of investigations which end up without prosecution or in the hands of corrupt judges with dirty hands in the pot.
Anytime a case of corruption involving a public official is claimed to be under investigation jaws drop to signify end of it.

Cases ranging from past and present diplomats using foreign passports to engage in fraudulent deals while in offices serving as deputy ambassadors and foreign officials to Wayome and Betty Idrissu's questionable position over suspicious fraud have all been pushed under the table. The ordinary Ghanaian is fed up with inaction and continuous corrupt behaviours of persons in higher offices and politicians. All persons held under investigation must be barred from holding public offices or dealings involved in money transactions till they are cleared to do so. That is an initiative expected from a leader - not that weak answer - NTI MENYE DEN ? MINTUMI NYE NO SAA - MLI NYEE MAFEE LEI NAKAI (SO WHAT MUST I DO ? I CANNOT DO THAT).

YOU CAN DO SOMETHING, MR PRESIDENT. SAVE US FROM THESE PREDATORS INCLUDING YOUR OWN BROTHER.

John the 4th,Barack Obama doesn't arrest anybody.The FBI does.The Jurors and the selfless Judges put them in prison if found guilty.Barack Obama may read about them in the newspapers or hear about them on radio or television or ask his attorney general about it.We call it division of labour in economics.
Your role as president is to appoint serious minded and honest cabinet who know what they are doing.
Don't use the cabinet appointments as compensation or appeasement for the people you know.The Lithurs,for example.I would not have appointed Nana Oye Lithur as a cabinet member when her husband is my family attorney.
It takes too long to investigate and prosecute cases of corruption in ghana.You need to question your attorney about this.
You appear to be struggling with the concept of leadership.Leadership is doing things through people.Consequently,your success or failure will depend on those people.That is the cogent reason you should appoint the best brain who can bring you success and praise.Ghanaians are blaming you because of some of your appointees.Seth Terkper has won you my admiration.
As president all the functions of the executive are vested in you.It is an onerous task to do it all alone.So you make it possible to perform those functions through the principle of delegation of authority.Since delegation of authority should lead to suitable performance of the task delegated,you should make sure that you do not put square pegs in round holes.Like appointing a medical doctor to be the minister of finance when there are people with accounting and economics background.This leaves you sometime to perform those functions which you cannot or do not want to delegate.You then coordinate the performance of the cabinet to ensure that the defined goals are achieved.
As a control measure,there shulod be periodic assessment of the cabinet to weed out inefficiency or correct wrong postings through cabinet reshuffle.

JUSTICE DELAYED, JUSTICE DENIED!!
SO GOES A WISE FIGURATIVE EXPRESSION!!!

MAHAMA IS JUST BUYING TIME BECAUSE GHANA IS A "CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY". HOW SAD!!

HOW DEMOCRATIC IS GHANA'S CONSTITUTION?

OR HOW CONSTITUTIONAL IS GHANA'S DEMOCRACY, IF YOU LIKE?

THIS MAHAMA DOES NOT HAVE THE SLIGHTEST MORAL FORTITUDE TO PUNISH ANYBODY FOR THE CLEAR CASES OF DOWNRIGHT CORRUPTION OF PAST AND PRESENT PUBLIC OFFICERS AND THEIR CRONIES BECAUSE HE MAHAMA IS THE CHIEF ARCHITECT OF THE CREATE LOOT AND SHARE WITH IMPUNITY POLICIES AFFLICTING OUR DEAR NATIONAL ECONOMY, THE REPUBLIC OF GHANA.

I BET ALL THESE NATIONAL REVENUES FROM THE FRAUDULENT AND ARBITRARY INCREASES IN TAXES, TARIFFS, IMPORT DUTIES, FUEL PRICES, VAT AND OTHERS ARE ALL PART OF MAHAMA'S POLICY TO CREATE LOOT AND SHARE THE NATION'S TAX REVENUES, INCLUDING CHINA'S US$3 BILLION "KILLER" LOAN, WHICH IS FAST BECOMING A MIRAGE.

MEANWHILE, POOR OLD GHANA CONTINUES TO PAY INTEREST OR WHATEVER ON A NON-EXISTENT US$3BILLION CHINESE LOAN.

THEY CLAIMED THOSE TAX AND OTHER REVENUES WOULD BE DEPLOYED TO FUND "INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS" IN GHANA.

AT THE SAME TIME, THIS MAHAMA GOES AROUND BEGGING THE CHINESE AND EVERY OTHER TOM, DICK AND HARRY TO RELEASE A US$3BILLION LOAN AND OTHERS FOR "INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT" IN GHANA.

MAHAMA SHOULD ASK THE DUBAI BOSS IF HE USED "KILLER: LOANS TO DEVELOP HIS BREATHTAKING UAE COUNTRY TO VERY HIGH 21ST CENTURY STANDARDS!!

THIS MAHAMA IS SOMETHING ELSE!!!!!!!

MAHAMA AND KUFUOR ARE LUCKY THAT GHANA IS NOT LIKE CHINA.

THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN "LYNCHED" IN PUBLIC SO MANY MOONS AGO

If the government has done like the NPP did by just sending people to jail without proper law procedures, they will still complain. The interview of Dr. Hilla Limann revealed these same UP/NPP leaders causing problems to the extent that their leader Victor Owusu said they will not support the government but do as they are doing today. When will Ghanaians stop encouraging these stomach politicians of the UP/NPP tradition for their personal gains and not Ghana. How can they use fools because they will get fools all the time to do their dirty job. Rawlings was right that Mills did not just jailed Kuffour and his looting brigade as they did to the NDC ministers. All these nonsense would not have occurred. NPP/UP leaders and their shallow-minded will continue to complain if they are not in power. Leave them alone. Where were they when Kuffour and cronies obtained 3.5% dubious shares of Ghana oil proceeds? What about Dr. Anane using Ghana's money to pay his child support? We are not fools as their follows might be. We shall always prevail against them.

If this Presidnet is determined to root our corruption in our institutions and nationallife, the greatest gift and legacy he can give to Ghana is to call in the Americans.

Swallow our pride and hand over the institutions to them; Let the audit them root and branch and root out the weaknesses and holes that are making it possible and encouraging leakages through bent officials.

One of the greatest things about this USA is in the strengh of their national and regional Insititutions. They have to be, for them to be able to function efficiently right accross the vast country and be able to absorb and assimailate all these new immigrants and treat them all fairly and without favour.

We can see this in the operation of the Diversification visa lottery. Everything is done above board and smoothly.There is no suspicion about favouritism or manipulation in favour of one nation or the other.

The strentgh of their Institutions is also seen in the smooth handing over of office after Presidential elections. Outgoing Presidents and political appointees do not take away government property.

If Ghana is to progress we must have efficient and corruption free institutions all accross board.

We can have them, if we are prepared to admit to our weaknesses and call for help from the Anericans so that they can give us the benefit of their experience.

It is a country that has been through a lot. Alcapone, Prohibition busting, businesss, banking and financial frauds of very complicated and complex magnitudes. They have taught them to the establish procedures, processes, laws and instituions that are watertight and strong to prevent and stop these deviations and leakages occurring or happening again and again

Ghana should be bold enough to call on them to come and help us if we want to stop corruption root and branch

A PERSON WHO IS CAUGHT BY THE AUDITOR GENERAL, IS TO BE GIVEN TO THE POLICE NOT QUASI SECURITY ORGANIZATION THE GOVERNMENT CAN MANIPULATE. IF YOUR METHODS OF SANCTIONING WRONG DOERS ARE WEAK,
THERE WILL BE NO INCENTIVE FOR OTHERS TO BE HONEST. IF YOU TREAT THIEVES LIGHTLY, THEY WILL CONTINUE TO STEAL. THE ACTIONS OF THE STATE TO TO THOSE DEVIANTS, MUST BE SEEN TO BE JUST.

The president should continue doing his work without stopping to act on those corrupted people.why because when the president restrict to persecute them,corruption will continue to spread in Ghana as u can all see what is happening in Ghana now.The president alone can never work on dealing them,hands must be include to help the president to fasting his work through the investigation on that issue.The president can not just come out willing to arrest people without investigation on them.All what i have to say is that, the president should calm down to the investigation about the matter before arresting which will save as a deterrent to the grassroots. THANK YOU........

This is headed for the rocks under this NDC party. It is extremely mindboggling that, John Mahama knows that the officials are CORRUPT, by his own admission, that they are CORRUPT, but he cannot arrest them. This is in indeed a gargantuan absurdity, goodness gracious.
Ghanaians know the reason why you can't because it originates directly from the Flagstaff House. Abuga Pele and Tapsoba who were involved in the Gyeeda stinking rot and financial malfeasance expressed it succinctly when they said, they should try and arrest them and they would see whose hands would be burned. Woyome also said people were going to run away from away in this country if he started to talk. Corruption and Mahama are one and the only antidote is to vote NDC out in 2016.

Forget about whether I am an NDC or NPP but if this President's brother is one of the most corrupt, how then you expect him to adopt a strong stance against corruption other than this hypocritical and cynical one. Do we practice democracy without any commitment to enforce compliance? Are you talking about democracy that feeds only the rich with gross impunity? Do you not understand that this democracy without any possible accountability has a strong tendency to negatively alter society and send Ghanaian lives to the cleaners? We are talking about pervasive corruption here including judges and court staff engrossed in wanton thievery. We are talking about an NDC government that inherited a previously incompetent NDC government. So what is going on? Taking Ghanaians for granted? Do not take me for cheap propaganda for I am a staunch NDC person but overall, I am an educated Ghanaian citizen. I have read and digested what the President said about democracy. I have taken time to look well into his talk and overall, I think that this is a defeatist language of a lazy President. The NDC appears to be a boat without a captain and the Chairman of this party looks non-existent. This party is really like a headless chicken with no ideology, drive or commitment. For me, I commend the quality of Ghanaian journalism which I must say is not entirely there but definitely improving. They must put the President to come out; and you know what? This President has indeed lost it. Like Mills, his language is both non-committal and hypocritical. You will observe that Mills resorted to this same strategy and he finally dogged everybody with the most passive attitude of all Presidents in the world. But you could excuse Mills for his illness.
Mahama was under Mills government and expected to have seen the wastefulness of that strategy. Does this President gain personally from this lacklustre attitude to fighting corruption otherwise how could he be in government as the VP for so long then succeed to lead his own government into power with this defeatist attitude knowing very well that the majority of Ghanaians are being subjected to undue denial and hardship. Ghana does not operate a welfare state so her President must be a thinking human being not some dismissible weakling. In a greedy country like Ghana, corruption has become more or less a system of rule and a way of undoing excessive bureaucratic problems. In other words the cumbersome democracy as practised in Ghana goes against the very tenants of democracy making corruption very rewarding hence endemic within the commanding heights of our society. Judges, Police and Priests who you expect to trust are by far the most corrupt. Therefore, there will have to be a strong deterrent to make corruption unattractive. The President has now made it clear that he is unfit to take on this job. Why should Ghana not try a female President? We can be surprised by a woman. After all, what good can come out of men when a President had to go into solitary confinement just to ensure a peaceful cabinet re-shuffle? It takes a lot to be a President and if you do not have it, you just don’t have it.
This President is saying that he does not to do this or that when already this system is super saturated with corruption. I have not seen any government of this type succeed ever and this government is in my lame idea unlikely to do anything good for Ghanaians. The President is just a weakling and does not appear to have the necessary credentials to lead. He is plainly admitted that he is not the type to resolve this unique problem facing the country. Seriously, Ghanaian Presidents come thinking they will have to finish their term. No, they must be subject to impeachment if thay are deemed to be incompetent or unfit. Is the NDC a thinking party?
Listen Mr President, every part of the Ghanaian system is corrupt, everywhere, I mean all aspects of Ghanaian society; including, the legal system and the judiciary as well as the Police is corrupt. The one last hope is for one person, the President to ACT. No one else can use such powers except YOU. This is what I call democracy. You are democratically invested with powers to intervene to restructure the systems. Do not wait until you are dragged to ACT. Haba!

Listen to what a president is saying about this, because all his MCE/DCEs paid for their confirmations under his instruction. He is interested in the act.

The whole country is a pathetic collection of hopelessly corrupt, dishonest individuals; from the President, to the guy checking you in at the entry point in Accra, to the guy sweeping the streets. Dishonesty and corruption is so rampant and acceptable in Ghana that any honest hardworking person who tries to function in the system becomes an oddball and is really dispised by everybody. There is such a distinct disdain for honesty and integrity in the country that anybody who is not Ghanaian will find puzzling.

If you start arresting corrupt and dishonest individuals in Ghana, you will have to wall the entire country and convert the entire country into a jail in order to accomodate your suspects!

Is it not true that when the head moves the rest of the body follows? The President set a bad precedent in leadership principles and in the fight against corruption when he failed to declare his assets on assumption of power.He became a law breaker on day one so how realistic is it for the people of Ghana to expect a law breaker to uphold the rule of law?
When Vicky Hammah was invited to appear before the commission of inquiry she refused and eventually the commission had to end its work without evidence from the principal witness. She was left off the hook as if there are no laws in Ghana. Was it not an exercise in futility and a waste of the scarce taxpayers resources? Didn't the said commission have subpoena powers to compel Vicky to appear before it? We are joking as a nation and President Mahama is the number one joker.He is only giving lip service to the fight against corruption because he realizes that's what the people of Ghana want.
He's neck-deep in corruption. Having made those who engage in the nefarious practice his bed fellows, Mr Mahama cannot and will not lead any fight against corruption. Men fight against their enemies but don't fight against their friends

Mr. Mahama, stop your nonsense talk and act decisively to eradicate or fight corruption from your Government Officials and public service. We know that you just cannot take it upon yourself to round up people because people are accusing them of being corrupt, that, to me, would be undemocratic. However, not doing a thing about it, also does not speak well of you as a President. You know your Government is ranked the 13th in the world ranking of corrupt Governments. Mr. Mahama, are you proud of that? It is a disgrace and leaves an indelible mark on you personally and your Government on the whole. What an achievement.

If this report is true, it is a very sad commentary of the country. The country has laws. The laws needs to be enforced vigorously and impartially. There are techniques such as 'Sting operations' which can be used to target criminals, whether the criminals are cabinet ministers, Managing Directors of State enterprises, or any other government employees. Of course, we know the Attorney General's department is hopelessly compromised. It is itself corrupt to the core. The President can indeed arrest "corrupt" officials if he has the will to do so. The people of Ghana seem to deserve this canker!

I can’t arrest "corrupt" officials – Mahama
