It is shameless and blatant theft of Ghana's national assets. The beneficial owners will hide in their cesspools and bribe the simian judiciary to see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.

We must drill our own oil. We went prospecting for oil in Angola.

Considering the investment we have made in education since independence Ghana should have been far advanced by now. It is high time we switched to effective and quality education. We cannot invest so many man hours and money on students only for them to score zero in BECE or SSCE. However we must not forget that if our educational system is good but our economy is bad we would just be exporting labor. A good economy is necessary for a good educational system and a good educational system is necessary for a good economy. Our educational system must be purpose oriented.

There's clearly more to the issue of the urgency with which Parliament ratified these 2 contracts than meets the eye. Clearly, if the media, CSO's, clergy, Oxfam, NGO's, etc, etc were to delve very deep into the speed with which these contracts were awarded and ratified, under this certificate of urgency, which from all indications should have been by competitive bidding, again flouting our laws, makes the whole deal very murky, and doesn't make the contracts pass the transparency and accountability test, leaving the scent of corruption emanating profusely from the deal. It is clear Ghana is not getting any value for money from these contracts, and the citizenry are being shortchanged, to feed the unbridled rent seeking actions of the political oligarchs. Ghana is dying under this reckless NDC gov't with lawlessness and impunity reigning supreme, and it's no wonder the country is in the abyss.

WHEN CORRUPT POLITICIANS COLLUDE WITH THIEVES, ITS A DIFFERENT ISSUE.

Taking Ghanaians for fools. Sometimes i wonder if this people have at the back of their mind that one day they will die and leave all this bloody money behind. Where is the dignity? Sometimes i blame my own people too because they will not hesitate a bit to vote for these same corrupt people again. We tend to say our folks are beign taken advantage of by our politicians because of the illitracy crisis that exist in our country but i refuse to accept that because the fact that one is illitrate does not mean he or she does not have sense. There is a big difference between education sense and home sense. If you are able to diferentiate between beign hungary and beign full, then you have common sense to be able to make changes to your voting pattern when the need arises irrespective of your current political affiliation. If CPP is given you a better reason to vote for them, then you do so even though you may be an NPP or NDCsupporter. That is what i call common sense. If we keep recycling between NPP and NDC even though they give us the same result, then it means we are not sane people. It's as simple as that. In this particular matter, the NDC is simply doing the same thing the EO group which sprunged out of the NPP did to the people of Ghana when the oil was first discovered. They saying the NPP had their time to steal and Now it's theirs to steal. Thiefman Thief Thiefman God they laugh.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING HERE? IT WAS "DIEWUO" KUFFUOR WHO DISCOVERED THE OIL NOT ANY OTHER PRESIDENT. HE TOOK HIS SHARE IN THE COMPANIES DRILLING OUR WELL. NOBODY IN GHANA COULD OPEN THIER MOUTH. SO HE SET A PRECEDENCE FOR ALL THE GHANAIAN SELF-STYLED POLITICIANS TO DO THIER NORMAL SHOW "LOOTING". MY QUESTION IS HOW MANY SHARES DID OSAGYEFO DR. KWAME NKRUMAH ( OF BLESSED MEMORY ) GOT IN ALL THE DEVELOPMENT/MINING COMPANIES IN THIS BEAUTIFUL AND BLESSED COUNTRY HE FOUNDED? GHANAIANS SHOULD TAKE SUCH PRECEDENCE SET BY KUFFOUR AND J.J. RAWLINGS ( NSAWAM CANNERY TO HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN ) DID WITHOUT ANY CHALLENGE IS AN INDICATION THAT GHANAIANS ARE BIG-TIME COWARDS SO ANY CROOK THAT COMES TO RULE THEM CAN TAKE THESE FOOLS TO A RIDE. DO GHANAIANS HAVE MEN IN THAT COUNTRY? ANSWER ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chris Wilmot owns both African Soft Limited and WCW International Company Limited. He is a ophisticated hustler and scoundrel who under the guise of Christianity has been stealing and swindling from governments in Cote d'Ivoire, Nigeria and Ghana for years. He squandered over 10 million dollars from EX President Gbagbo under the pretext of developing a refinery for the Petroci and he is now the front for Buah, Sipa Yankee and Botwey in the gas project. He, Sipa and Buah purchased the land on which the gas plant is being built and forced the relocation of the plant from its original location under some spurious and nonsensical technical excuse and turned around and sold the land to the government at a cut throat price. He fabricated and concocted evidence which forced the hand of Investcom to pay him and Richmond Aggrey almost 60 million dollars during the MTN acquisition of Investcom assets in Ghana. This guys is a crook who will end up in jail and not a businessman

Parliament is made up of NDC, NPP, PPP, etc and they all signed off on this, so get your head from where the sun don't shine and understand that the majority of the MPs from all parties are thieves

THAT IS THE TRUTH MY BROTHER. GHANA SHOULD ESTABLISH A CORRUPTION COURT WITH OUT- SOURCED JUDGES FROM THE BRITISH COMMONWEALTH STATES. THIS COURT SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TRYING OF CORRUPTION CASES IN WHICH EX-PRESIDENTS AND POLITICIANS ARE ACCUSED OF. UNLESS WE START TO PROSECUTE THESE THIEVES CORRUPTION WILL NOT BE ERADICATED FOR OUR BLESSED COUNTRY TO DEVELOP AND ACHIEVE NATIONHOOD. WE JUST THREAT THIS CASES AS A LIGHT ISSUE AND ALLOW THEM TO GO AWAY WITH THIER LOOTING. WHY? GHANAIANS DO YOU LOVE GHANA?I PRAY ALWAYS TO GOD ALMIGHTY TO GIVE OUR BLESS GHANA A DEVOTED LEADER SUCH AS "OSAGYEFO" AMEN.!!!!!!!!!
