If this outburst from Certificate-less Jake on the Government is not an outright hypocrisy then I do not really know what it is. No I don't.

Imagine a man who went into politics to help the majority poor rather ended up stealing from the poor. If Jake wanted to taken seriously, then he better do what the majority have in their common interest not the selfish one that is known for.

A thief like Jake should no longer be taken serious

NPP BROUGHT ALL THE SOCIAL INTERVENTIONS THAT BENEFITED THE POOR. NDC, WHO SAY THEY ARE SOCIAL DEMOCRATS, BROUGHT NONE. INSTEAD, THE CORRUPT NDC HAS COLLAPSED ALL THE NPP'S SOCIAL INTERVENTIONS, LIKE NHIS, FREE MATERNAL CARE, SCHOOL FEEDING, CAPITATION, YOUTH EMPLOYMENT, ETC. POOR PEOPLE CONTINUE TO REMAIN POOR BECAUSE THEY FOLLOW FALSE PROPHETS LIKE THE NDC AND THEY FAIL TO USE THEIR BRAINS OR THINK FOR THEMSELVES!

What about you Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey who resided in a government bungalow for a number of years to carry out government business and ended up buying it for yourself and family? Your hypocrisy is just to much, too funny and too nonsensical?

Jake must answer this simple question. Must if everyone buys a bungalow that belongs to the state after his term of office expires, how would the state provide for the incoming officials?

Jake is a shameless politician and the NPP members knew this. Their upcoming election of new national executive of the party is the biggest opportunity to rid the party of old corrupt politicians who take us all for fools. Jake is simply an annoying spectacle. People like him would not appeal to floating voters. He is a glorified thief!

Much as I do not endorse the purchase of state govt bungalows by former govt officials including Jake, the courts of Ghana have justified it because he acquired it legally.

Those who are vilifying Jake are some of those typically daft pea-brained NDC sympathizers who cant tell the difference between a toilet bowl and a kitchen sink.

Jakes crime of arrogating to himself a govt govt bungalow appears insignificant when compared with the crimes of those who 'stole' several state industries and companies and gave them out to their friends and wives.

Most NDC symathizers are not intelligent enough to see that Rawlings who stole the entire sovereignty of the state of Ghana, has been twisting them around his little finger by deceiving and lying to them forever.

Jake, I think Abuga Pele isn't only a scape goat, he's a "Scape Cow" if I could label him appropriately. We want all of these NDC fraudsters to be hauled before the courts. Rawlings went about in 2007/8 telling our rural folks that ex-Prez. Kuffour and his ministers were corrupt and would be jailed when they [NDC] come back t power.

True to their word, the hauled many ex-Ministers before the courts only for them to be acquitted and discharged; none of them were found guilty. It brings one's memory to those 1979-1981 AFRC/P-NDC dark years when Rawlings tricked Ghanaian with his ranting utterances about his "revolution" subjecting people to curfews. They went about accusing everyone of corruption, killing army officers and forced others to flee the country.

Now 5yrs into their return, and now most Ghanaians have seen the true colours of the NDC. They're hypocrites and parasites living among honest people. They're envious and covetous bunch of people who can't appreciate the hard work and progress of their neighbours. I hoping that Ghanaians will rise up and protest against the horrible economic mess that the NDC govt. has brought unto citizens of the nation. By now civil societies must be staging nation-wide demonstrations to ask John Mahama and his incompetent NDC govt. to step down for a better leader.

This the time NPP leaders and the party should step up their mass education drive to inform the electorate, esp. our rural folks about the need to use their thumbs to kick out John Mahama and his clueless NDC govt. This is the time and NPP must not fail to rescue Ghanaians.

What baffles me most is how suddenly, Rawlings has kept quiet, looking away as if everything is fine, now that his NDC scouts are in the news sucking the blood of Ghana dry. Not very long ago, he stood at the South Africa Embassy to lambaste ex-Prez. Kuffour for crimes he can't even prove. He himself can't stand before the media cameras to clear his name in the SCANCEM and Mabey & Johnson bribery scandals but would rathe turn around and accuse others of corruption. Truly, I believe that Rawlings and his AFRC/P-NDC gang should be hauled before the courts for trial. He's one heck of a "tiiif" and a big hypocrite walking the streets of our lovely nation.

Don't worry. In politics, some people must be SACRIFICED(words of Papa Jerry) to calm nerves down. The real Big Fishes will be left off the hook.
Anyway, can someone tell Jake to apologize to his party and Ghanaians over the statement he made concerning what amounts to BRIBERY in the NPP primaries. He, as a Party's guru should know what to sat, where to say what and when to say what. He should not let his support for a candidate make him say stupid things on the air and at a forum. That is what we call BOOM in Ghana politics.
So far as I am concerned, there is n need for Ghanaians to take to the streets for Mahama to step down. Ghanaians should just watch what goes on and vote according to their consciences. The media and the opposition should rather keep the fire hot on the butt of government for it to do the right thing.

When I heard that Jake says politicians are right to use money to buy vote, I straightaway understood why he sold government bungalow to himself. I also understood why NPP lost 2012 elections. If you have such a corrupt man as party chairman, then, how can the party succeed? It is amazing how people like Jake have the guts to advise government on what to do when it comes to corrupt officials. Having stolen state property, what moral right has he to poke his nose into the affairs of a government that is serious in fighting corruption. I believe it is high time his case is revisited to retrieve that bungalow. We need judges who pronounce judgement not only on the basis of the letter of the law but of the spirit. If I were a judge, common sense would be my main focus in the interpretation of the law, so that people like Jake would not get away with stealing government properties with impunity and get away with it and turn round to advise on how to solve corruption challenges.

IF MAHAMA DOES NOT PROSECUTE OFFENDING OFFICIALS, THEY SAY HE IS COVERING CORRUPTION (LIKE KUFFOUR DID), HE IS A LAME DUCK, HE IS CORRUPT HIMSELF, HE IS NOT FIT TO RULE THIS NATION, ETC. IF HE PROSECUTE TOO, THEY SAY HE IS WITCH-HUNTING.... WHAT ABOUT THIS, WHAT ABOUT THAT, WHAT ABOUT EVERYBODY...? NPP IS TOO NOISY AND CRAZY. THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT MAKES SENSE ANYMORE. THEY ARE JUST TALKING AND TALKING AND TALKING. ALL THEY WANT IS POWER, THAT'S ALL. NOTHING ELSE MATTERS. BECAUSE THAT'S HOW THEY CAN GAIN ACCESS TO THE STATE TREASURY AND STEAL BIG TIME!!!

When NPP were stealing left right front and back, was Kufuor courageous enough to prosecute any NPP member.? Instead Kufuor rather sort to defend corruptions by NPP when he openly declared corruption existed since Adams. He sacrisfied Mallam Issah of PNC and opened the doorway for wanton stealing and looting of coffers of Ghana while he looked the other way. Today bunch of criminals are calling for more arrests and prosecutions. Question is "How many NPP thieves did Kufuor prosecute",???

Corruption here, Corruption there, Corruption everywhere: ¢8.8 Billion Maputo Scandal Pt. 2 ...GH¢808,955.00 and US$2.2 Million for 232 Contingent

Documents intercepted by the Front Page newspaper suggests financial impropriety and malfeasance in the run-up to Ghana's participation in the All African Games hosted in Maputo the capital town of Mozambique in 2011.

In the said documents, the National Sports Council (NSC) led by its Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Worlanyo Agra presented a total budget of GH¢808,955.00 and US$2.2million for 232 contingents.

STRUCTURES UNDERMINED
The Committee believes that given the extent of managerial incompetence, institutionalized corruption and organization rot that is going on at the National Sports Council, it is only a 'roots and branch' shake up of the entire setup that will rid the organization of these ills.

FAILINGS OF THE CHEF DE MISSION
Mr. Erasmus Adorkor was the main cause of the accreditation problems experienced by Team Ghana in Maputo. He failed woefully to meet deadlines set for Chefs de Mission to complete the accreditation process electronically, which would have guaranteed that Team Ghana had pre-accreditation tags before entering Mozambique.

The Committee found out that visa fees for entering Mozambique were waived for all participating countries. However, because Team Ghana had not complied with the pre-accreditation requirements Mr. Adorkor engaged in unnecessary and needless spending: $1,320.00 on visa fees; $1,750.00 on feeding; and another $538.00 on feeding, all as a result of lack of accreditation.

According to the Committee Mr. Adorkor was negligent in booking Paradise Lodge: first, for not seeing the rooms before booking; and second, for keeping the reservations for the 10 rooms for 10 days without putting the rooms to good use or letting go of them. By not doing so, the National Sports Council lost $900.00.

POOR INFORMATION FLOW
Mr. Adorkor failed to relay information concerning the Games to both athletes and officials travelling to the Games. All Chefs de Mission were supplied dossiers that contained information needed the various sporting disciplines for the Games. Yet, Mr. Adorkor got these dossiers and kept them to himself without sharing them with athletes and officials going to Maputo.

He also failed to comply with the requirement that each country was supposed to inform COJA of its arrival 30 days before time. As a result no Ghanaian group was met at the Maputo Airport by a reception party.

PAYMENT OF ALLOWANCES
The Committee also finds that the National Sports Council obtained money from Government to pay the Ghanaian contingent for 22 days, but then paid them for 18 days only.

The Committee finds that the Vice-President of the Ghana Taekwondo Association, Mr. Chris Essilfie, was not paid his per diem allowance of $500.00 which was the first tranche paid to all Presidents of sports associations and/or their representatives.

NON-UTLIZATION OF FUNDS
The Committee finds that out of a total sum of GH356,725.00 cedis voted by Government for the purchase of general kitting for athletes and officials, not one pesewa was spent or utilized for that purpose. Thus, Ghanaian athletes and officials went to the Games without branded or national wear supplied by the National Sport Council. Nigeria, for example, came to the Games with at least four different uniforms, not to mention straw hats, caps, which had all been branded in national colours.

The Committee also finds that out of an amount of GH185,925.00 cedis the Government voted for the purchase of kits, equipment, and accessories for the needs of individual sporting disciplines participating in the Games, only GH44,000.00 was spent on three sports associations, leaving many associations without any kits and accessories.

The Committee finds that the President of the Badminton Association, Mr. Nestor Percy Galley, spent $150.00 of his own money in Maputo to re-string rackets and further bought seven new rackets for his players at the cost of $150.00 each. He also paid $100.00 for the one night he spent at the Paradise which he should not have paid, thus making a total sum of $1,300.00 that he should not have had to pay out of pocket.

OVER-PAYMENT TO TRAFIX CATERING SERVICE
The Committee finds that the Managing Director of Trafix Catering Service, Madam Bella Ahu, was overpaid to the tune of GH48,804.00 cedis. She presented an invoice for feeding 200 athletes and officials for 20 days at the cost of GH20.00 per day, totaling GH80,000.00 cedis. The invoice also included GH231.20 for water plus 15% VAT of GH12,034.00, all of which amounted to GH92,265.88 cedis. However, by our calculations per information received from the General Secretaries about their respective teams, Trafix could actually have fed only 148 athletes and officials over different days that numbered fewer than 20 in the case of virtually all the teams. Because there was actually no contract document stating the unit price per plate, the Committee reverted to the feeding cost of GH18.00 per day, which Trafix had charged the National Sports Council for the Unity Games.

QUALITY OF TAILORING SERVICE BY KWASHIE TAILORS

The Committee finds that Kwashie Tailor & Dry Cleaners failed to supply 205 suits to Team Ghana by 28th August 2011 as stipulated in the contract letter. Because of the late delivery of the suits Team Ghana could not use the suits for the purpose for which they were intended.

The Committee also finds that there was no supervision of the tailoring job undertaken by Kwashie Tailors, because if the job had been supervised it would have been known that only 70 suits had been delivered by the time Team Ghana departed to Maputo. The last suits were delivered on 19th October 2011, that is to say, a whole month after the Maputo Games had officially ended on 18th September.

QUALITY OF TRAVEL SERVICE BY ROYAL DERBY TOURS

The Committee finds Royal Derby Tours to have provided a very poor quality service to the National Sports Council when the latter contracted the company to airlift Team Ghana to Maputo for the All Africa Games. The main reason the company provided the poor quality service was because it did not have the money to secure the airline seats the National Sports Council had ordered.

The Committee finds Royal Derby Tours to be liable for the trauma experienced by 16 Team Ghana passengers who got stranded, and in distress, in South Africa for three days, and who ended up having to travel to Maputo by road.

The Committee finds Royal Derby Tours liable for the luggage of the Disabled Sports athletes and officials which was left behind in South Africa for a good one week. The least Royal Derby Tours could have done, knowing it was going to use Oliver Tambo Airport as a transit airport for over 200 of its passengers many of whom Royal Derby had not been able to secure through passage for, was to have stationed one of its agents in Johannesburg or negotiated with South African Airlines, or another airline, to manage the transit transactions for a fee. After all, this was a very sizeable contract for almost GH1,000,000 cedis.

The Committee finds that Mr. Erasmus Adorkor, the Chef de Mission, failed to exercise appropriate judgment by not using part of the $10,000 imprest he had on him to alleviate the suffering of the disabled athletes. Mr. Adorkor should have arranged for the luggage of the disabled athletes and officials to be airlifted from Johannesburg to Maputo within a day or two of knowing about the plight of 'Disabled Team Ghana'. The disabled athletes, without their wheelchairs could not leave their place of lodging even to go for food; tragically, after the first day their coach, who was picking up food from the cafeteria for all the athletes, was no longer allowed to do so by the cafeteria officials.
