"..Ghanaians are calling for the truth; they are not calling for a sacrificial lamb.”

Mr Pele, as much as Ghanians want the truth, they also want persons who defrauded the state to be convicted by due process of law and appropriately punished. What we don't want is for anybody to be jailed or punish wrongly, simply because government wants to be seen to be fighting corruption.

But with the advent of Rawlings bogus revolutions things changed dramatically in Ghana. Ewes such as Rawlings and family,Kofi Nyedevu Awoonor, Abodakpi,The Tsikatas, Solomeys, Kofi Humado and others became multy millionaires overnight. Secondly, no one is stealing Ga lands but Gas themselves.

If the minister claims Ghanaians are asking for the truth and he did not do anything wrong why is he worried and threatening to go down with others? Does that mean he knows some people who have done something wrong as far as GYEEDA is concerned?

The fact is GYEEDA stinks, it happened under his watch and he should have been the first to be charged for causing financial loss to the state before the GYEEDA Chief Executive. One by one all of them must face the music.

'CASHGATE' – MALAWI’ MURKEY TALE OF SHOOTING AND CORRUPTION.

It is the biggest financial scandal in Malawi's history. Known as “cashgate”, it has affected the country's relations with donors and caused outrage among Malawians. And with elections in May this year, the scandal could cost President Joyce Banda and her People's Party votes, writes the BBC's Chakuchanya Harawa. At the centre of the scandal is a computer-based financial information storage system. Some government officials have allegedly been exploiting a loophole in the system to divert millions from government coffers. It is estimated that up to $250m (£150m) may have been lost through alleged fraudulent payments to businessmen for services that were not done.

People have to be afraid of government money”

Bruno Kalemba Director of Public Prosecutions, according to a report in the local media, an audit by managers of the financial system has established that records of some transactions carried out between July and September 2013 were deleted. Allegations of the massive looting of government money became public following the shooting of the finance ministry's then budget director Paul Mphwiyo in September 2013.Just days before, a junior civil servant was allegedly found with bales of cash totalling more than $300,000 in the boot of his car. More cash was confiscated from some civil servants' homes and car boots. 'Crisis of confidence' The country's main donors were infuriated. They have withheld $150m pending further investigation into the scandal. Malawi is one of the world's poorest countries and is reliant on donor funding. Up to 40% of Malawi's annual budget is donor-funded. The EU ambassador to Malawi, Alexander Baum, told the BBC: "It is a crisis of confidence, and unless there is transparency and everybody has the feeling and trust that the crisis has been addressed with full determination, confidence will not return." But it is not all doom and gloom for the government.

The IMF, which had been withholding funding for the same reason, has just decided to give nearly $20m to the country. A government preliminary report looking into the alleged fraud, carried in conjunction with British experts, has now been completed although it has not been made public. Police have since impounded vehicles, houses, apartments and office buildings belonging to those suspected of involvement with "cashgate". The Director of Public Prosecutions, Bruno Kalemba, told the BBC: "People have to be afraid of government money. In a country like ours, the needs are enormous and to imagine that just a few people were able to get their hands on this much money is quite discomforting and unpatriotic." With the start of the trial this week of two of the 70 people charged so far, many will be hoping that more revelations will come into the open. But while the legal battles are being fought in the courts, on the political front cashgate could become a major issue in the forthcoming elections.

'Scandalous'

It is already dominating campaign rhetoric. The opposition has criticised the government's handling of the scandal, portraying the current administration as corrupt. Many Malawians have been shocked by the allegations. President Banda argues that she initiated appropriate steps, including investigating, apprehending and prosecuting suspects as soon as she became aware of the allegations. Some have linked the scandal to the president, saying her party was trying to raise funds for the May election campaign. Her office described the allegations as "scandalous and baseless". Some of the top names facing charges were until recently senior officials of the ruling party. Sacked Justice Minister Ralph Kasambala, who has been charged with the attempted murder of the former budget director, has told a magistrate he wants President Banda, her sister and two other senior officials to be his witnesses when his trial starts. Another former ruling party executive committee member and businessman has been charged with theft and money-laundering. It is alleged that his company pocketed $6.5m for services not rendered. Both deny the charges. The financial management system was adopted in 2005 by the late Bingu wa Mutharika administration.

President Banda has suggested that the looting may have started as far back as 2010 following a directive by the former president that banks should honour all government cheques without asking questions.Ms Banda became president in 2012 following the sudden death of Mr Mutharika; she had been vice-president although she had been fired from the then ruling party and had formed her own party. For the moment, the political effects of the trial are not not clear - the scandal could well hurt both Ms Banda's People's Party and Mr Mutharika's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), possibly allowing another party to gain ground.

‘STOP LENDING TO POOR RESOURCE RICH COUNTRIES’

Daniel Kaufmann, President of Revenue Watch Institute, has called on the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to halt their lending to poor countries that are rich in natural resources but fail to disclose how they use those revenues. Kaufmann said that 20 percent of the world’s poor survive on less than $2 a day in countries rich in natural resources. “With vast new reserves of oil and gas discovered in the region, its poverty level is poised to increase to 50 percent of the world’s poor by 2030, unless there are major improvements in corruption and governance,” he said, adding that the World Bank should be audacious. Kaufman, a former World Bank Institute official, now heads a research group that promotes accountability over management of natural resource revenues to help countries realise their development benefits.

Nigeria, for example, said last week it cannot account for $50 billion in revenue from the sale of crude oil between January 2012 and July 2013 – an amount that exceeds the total annual foreign development aid to the region.In Angola, the IMF has estimated that $32 billion in oil revenues went missing between 2007 and 2010, equivalent to one quarter of its GDP, he said. “At what point does one bite the bullet and say this is absolutely crucial in getting development on the ground?” The World Bank, with its unique resources, along with the IMF, should have the audacity to say, “No, we are not lending when there is complete opacity on these issues,” Kaufmann said.

He made the remarks while presenting a detailed framework for addressing corruption and improving governance in resource-rich countries at a World Bank seminar recently. “What we are talking about is $350 to $400 billion in domestic resource mobilization just from oil (revenues), and leveraging that and approaching it from the development standpoint would totally dwarf whether a dollar (in World Bank lending) went to its proper destination,” he said.

Clement Kofi Humado has made a very, very good decision on behalf of Ghanaians, not to go down alone for the thievery that was hatched and continues to be hatched from the office of the Presidency to create, loot and share the contents of the national kitty as well as the partitioning and handing over of national assets amongst family and friends like thick crust pizza.
I won't go down alone by Clement Kofi Humado is a very apt and poignant admission of what Ghanaians have been saying all along that, the stealing, the looting, the thievery, the corruption, the stinking rot and financial malfeasance which has become a badge of honour boldly worn by John Mahama and Amissah Arthur family and friends looting bandits, is indeed, a gov't policy clearly orchestrated by the NDC gov't led by John Mahama to enrich themselves at all cost at the expense of the development of the nation, and these machinations indeed, involves not just an individual, but a cabal of unscrupulous, callous, greedy, incompetent, inept bunch of nation-wreckers with an insatiable appetite for thievery, which effects are being witnessed in every facet of life under this NDC gov't. Ghanaians applaud his decision not to go down alone, and he should as a matter of urgency, make known the other members of the cabal before he's met with an "unfortunate accident". The gigantic and enormous wave of looting which is sweeping across the length and breadth of the country, leaving in it's wake a destructive mess of hopelessness and despair, clearly and logically needs to be rectified by massively voting out the NDC gov't in 2016, for Ghana to stem the tide of retrogression, stealing and corruption, gradually sending the country completely into the deepest pits of stagnation.

If he is a true states man he will not sit down for him to be sent to the court before spelling the beans. If he No all those involved he should bring them out. If a minister say I wont go down alone he need to resign in sham because was voted to protect the taxes of the country but if they will share loot the state and cover up for themselves then where is Ghana going Please resign if you know of other and you did not talk.

To all men living overseas, never rent a room for a woman in Ghana whiles you live in another country. She will bring a guy to the room, have sex with him in the room you paid for and call you a fool. Take her to a hotel, use her pussy as much as you can and leave. No matter what you do for her(money,gift,Laptop) she will fuck another guy when you are gone. Never trust any woman in Ghana especially when you live overseas.

So basically, all that this man is saying is that , yes we looted but the trial must cover all the thieves and not me alone. We shall all see the true colors of the NDC. I have always insisted that these monies were looted to finance the NDC election campaigns. Any clue as to why WAYOMEY's continue to be adjourned?

Your comment on the on-going scandal indictment makes interesting, and weird reading. You seem to suggest that yes, I, Kofi Humado, am a crook. But, I did it with others whose names have not been mentioned elsewhere. In addition, you seem to accept that you knew/know those whom you were stealing with, or who are stealing without conscience. But, you have been keeping quiet over these sorts of robberies, and yet you kept quiet. And you want us to believe that you will tell the truth if you're put on trial for your alleged thievery. At this point, Kofi, nobody needs your help. You will not be credible for any revelation. So get ready to go to jail. We will take care of those you 'want to go down with' without your input. Thanks, but no thanks, Kofi. Your threats have no merits. Those threats are symbols of a desperate man. Do you get it, Kofi 'Crook'?

If you are taking to court to answer charges, how does that ammount to being sacrificed? So If the court frees you in the end, will you say you've being sacrificed? People must be logical in what they say.

This small thing is scaring you? Don't worry, this case will get no where. It will be dragged for years until everyone becomes tired of it. Take a cue from the Woyome case. Relax and enjoy your booty.

VERY TRUE STORY ABOUT THE UAE, 14TH MOST HAPPIEST NATION IN THE WORLD.

ASAMOAH GYAN "BABY JET" WILL LIVE TO TELL THE HAPPY TALE ABOUT HIS WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE IN THE UAE.

READERS SHOULD REMEMBER THAT THE UAE WAS A DESERT WASTELAND JUST ABOUT SOME 20 YEARS AGO.

By: Yasmine Hamdy

Emirates News Agency WAM reported on Sunday that the UAE is the happiest Arab country in the World and the 14th globally in the second United Nations World Happiness Report, quoting HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai on this occasion as saying:

Dubai in top three ‘most improved’ cities

"Achieving happiness, welfare and dignified living for nationals and their families is the preoccupation of the President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan. This ranking would not have been possible without the efforts of sincere men, excellent teamwork and full coordination and integration between all local and federal government sectors.

"Our goal is to achieve the happiness of our people, and their satisfaction is the gauge of our success. All development plans that we approved, all initiatives that we launched and all the government policies and laws, have one common goal: achieving the happiness of our people. What we have already achieved is only the first stage, which will be followed by more work and achievements in order to become one of the world's best countries, God willing.

"Countries can only be built with happy and satisfied people. Happiness of individuals is only the start for a stable, productive and safe society. That is why relevant international organisations started to review the real yardstick for the success of governments and to increasingly focus on measuring the satisfaction and happiness of people as the main way towards sustainable development,"

HH highlighted the importance of embracing this criterion by all government officials, saying, "We gave directives to all government teams, during the recent Government Summit, that they should make their decisions and policies based on one goal, which is making society happy. No doubt happiness and satisfaction is something psychological for individuals, but the government's mission is to provide dignified living and welfare for its citizens, to make life easy for them as well as to create opportunities for them to achieve happiness for themselves and for their families. All this requires, among other things, joint efforts and policies and laws that are suitable for society, achieving security, justice and safety, taking care of underprivileged groups and the continuous development of infrastructure. This cannot be achieved without having clear-cut plans and excellent teams and taking the best advantage of the resources that are available to us.

HH Sheikh Mohammed finalized his great words adding:"We will continue forward to serve our country, achieve happiness for our sons and to invest all that we have to prepare people to make them able, strong, and skilled enough to achieve success. I say to all our people: be hopeful because we all overcame a lot of challenges in the past, and because our present is full of achievements, and our future is promising and is based on the highest ambitions" His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid concluded.

MY TAKE:

COMPARE THE UAE'S TRANSFORMATIVE HARDWORKING LEADERSHIP TO GHANA'S LAZY VISIONLESS FREELOADING CORRUPT LEADERSHIP, AND YOU'LL REALISE HOW USELESSLY HOPELESS WICKED AND CORRUPT GHANA'S SUCCESSIVE "LEADERS" ARE.

AS FOR GHANA'S 275 LAZY DUMB CORRUPT MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT AND THE GARGANTUAN NUMBER OF FREELOADING WICKED SUCCESSIVE PRESIDENTS AND PRESIDENTIAL STAFFERS, THE LITTLE SAID ABOUT THEM, THE BETTER.

I NOW REST MY CASE, BUT READ THE ABOVE ABOUT THE UAE AND ASK YOURSELVES THIS QUESTION:

ARE THE UAE LEADERS NOT AS HUMAN AND HUMANE AS THEIR GHANAIAN COUNTERPARTS?

NO WONDER MAHAMA AND HIS DUMB GHANAIAN ENTOURAGE WERE WELCOME THERE LIKE FOOLS BEGGING TO BE TAUGHT ON WAYS TO DEVELOP THEIR ECONOMIES FOR THE GOOD OF ALL GHANAIANS, INCLUDING THEMSELVES (GHANA'S DUMB CORRUPT VISIONLESS "LEADERS")

Talk about education WHAT are you teaching the youngsters of today, how to be corruption and liars.
If you want to show your anger, disappointment at the 2 main parties, they are both corrupted, THEN VOTE FOR ANOTHER PARTY. PERIOD. Then the Q is who?
We all blame each other, WHY DON@T WE UNITE AS ONE A DEVELOP THE COUNTRY FOR EVERYONE'S BENEFIT.
How many commenting here can hold their hand up to GOD and say they are not or have been corrupt?
