HELPLESSNESS, HOPELESSNESS & FEELING OF DESPONDENCY HAS GRIPPED MANY IN GHANA TODAY.
GHANA HAS BEEN RAPED BY THESE NDC IDIOTS. WE DO NOT NEED ANY NATIONAL ECONOMIC FORUM, WE NEED A NATIONAL COURT OF JURISDICTION TO PUT MAHAMA AND HIS CABINET ON TRIAL. GHANA'S HOPELESS ECONOMIC SITUATION, TODAY, IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. NDC HAS OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS PRESIDED OVER THE BIGGEST RESOURCES IN OUR HISTORY INCLUDING CRUDE OIL & STEALTH TAXES. THEY HAVE ALSO CONTRACTED THE BIGGEST LOANS IN OUR HISTORY. IF THEY HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR THIS AND THE ECONOMY IS IN SHAMBLES, THEN,THEY MUST BE PROSECUTED. THEY MUST GIVE THE MONEYS BACK TO THE TREASURY. WE DO NOT NEED ANY ECONOMIC FORUM. SET UP A COURT IMMEDIATELY. IT HAPPENED IN THAILAND RECENTLY, PRIME MINISTER YINGLUCK SHINAWATRA WAS REMOVED BY THE CONSTITUTIONAL COURT FOR ABUSING POWER. LOOK AT GHANA, EMBRAER PLANE SCANDAL, STX KOREA, US$20 BILLION NDC PARTY HQ., US$4 MILLION JUDGEMENT DEBT PAYMENT TO MRS. RAWLINGS, SUBAH, GYEEDA, WOYOMI, ISOFOTON, WATERVILLE, AFRICA AUTOMOBILE, CP, SADA, FORTIZ/MERCHANT BANK, AKONFEM AND A HOST OF OTHER DODGY JUDGEMENT DEBT PAYMENTS. BUYING VOTES WITH CASH, LAND CRUISERS & LAPTOPS JUST TO WIN ELECTIONS. WHY NDC?????? WHY??? OUR SUPREME COURT COULD NOT HELP BUT DESCRIBED IT AS "ALLIANCE TO CREATE, LOOT AND SHARE" WHAT A SHAME? ?? AND YOU CALLING GHANAIANS TO A WASTEFUL ECONOMIC FORUM. NDC, THE MONEY IS WITH YOU, GIVE IT BACK TO GHANA. NPP, I SALUTE YOUR COURAGE FOR NOT ATTENDING. NPP REMAIN SMART AND VIGILANT!!!!

Thanks Close Observer. This report is as useless as the writer. Anybody can say this so where lies the truth? If it is indeed the truth, then the Informer reporter should quote the person than this lies. I can just say somebody has given the informer bribe. Does that make it true or not? The informer should stop using sensationalism to sell his papers. Some of us will not be fooled about this except the opposition members who think anything against NDC is true. Come again, informer.

When will members of a political party be bold enough to criticise their government in power if something is not going right? Democracy is not only to criticise and insult the opposing party. If the criticism comes from within that does not mean that you are a party enemy but rather one who wants the best for the party. It's about time we stood up for mother Ghana.

Is tht how we sack ppl at every instance? In every organisation, ppl are warned, queried once or twice then to suspension before they are sacked. There is nobody who has bn perfect thru & thru, so give us a break. Wht is more disgraceful to the country is when a whole finance minister signed a doc. without understanding it & ending up at a Hair Dressing saloon. Ppl are given money to travel to work on HIV. They come back obroniba. These are the disgraceful things tht has ever happened to this country; Not the indisciplined characters of footballers. How can smbody's attitude cause someone to be sacked? Does it make sense.?

This is a classic case of causing financial loss to the state. Instead of letting the Brazilian tax authorities to deduct the 17% from the payments to the players and officials, Nyantakyi arranged that the taxes be borne by the state of Ghana. Thus the cost per each beneficiary is what they received plus the tax to be deducted from what FIFA will be paying Ghana.

Clearly, the tax is a payment which would have been avoided if Nyantakyi had not made that nasty decision. Instead this arrogant man is bragging all over the place. Well, in today's Ghana anyone can get away with murder. During JJ's time, who born dog?

I am definitely convinced that the Informer has a hidden and unhealthy agenda agaist Hon Elvis Afriyie-Ankrah. I am yet to read anything positive or commendable from the Informer concerning Elvis. Can someone brief on what Elvis and Yamin had done to bring both the party and government into disrepute? Who was responsible for the fiasco at Brazil? Was it the GFA or the Ministry of Sports? Not until we have a detailed and official report, no one has the moral right to run their mouth foul. The reports making the rounds elsewhere in the world is: 'the buck stops with the managers of the national teams'. So far a number of decent ones with a sense of decency had resigned. I am yet to read of a minister of sports resigning or being sacked in any of the coutries that failed to proceed from the group stages. What therefore was Elvis' crime? Someone should educate me. I am a card-bearing dues paying NDC member too.

Who caused the problems for the NDC, the Old guards. They are angry with Elvis and Yamin because they caused for GYEDA to be investigated and that brought to the fore the rot they caused. Whilst was sick, they convined with others to loot and steal. This President is helping you old guards clean up the mess and you are still hiding and talking? If they fear not, why not come out to talk. They think that they will do all of these to scare Mahama to give up. Listen, some of us the ordinary Ghanaian will come all out and support this Mahama guy to stay in power after 2016. I have seen a lot of reforms going on in Ministries that used to blow money. Today, many of those who used to live affluent lifetsyles on the back of state resources are starved of those resources and those resources are going into development. That is why they are making noises. They can go to hell for all some of us care.

Why don't you list any? An office building develops cracks over the years. The next moment, that building is abandoned for another office space at US$ 63,000 every month for several months! Who is/are the owner(s) of the new office space and how much does it cost to put up a building in Ghana? There are several of such cases making rounds in Ghana. So list some of the reforms you are talking about. Millions of dollars on sanitary pads at a time when the whole country is engulfed in darkness? The overburdened Ghanaian taxpayer will want to know those reforms and development. Just list them.

Who are these old guards at all? and what are their qualifications apart from having held positions in AFRC, PNDC, and NDC 1? We are all aware of the period of PNDC when most of these so called old guards were foisted on Ghanaians as PNDC secretaries in positions where they lacked both knowledge and experience. Fresh from Universities and other tertiary institutions and mostly student leaders with one or two succesful "alutas" to their credit , they were appointed by JJ, and who dare you to criticise? Some of them through long service in the PNDC 11 years, and another 8 years of NDC 1, they matured somehow to become who they are today. Some took the advantage to add some few degrees and other qualifications to their CVs. Fine enough. But why deny others the same opportunity you had? President Mahama is simply drawing a leaf from the textbooks of Rawlings and Atta Mills. The simple truth is that these young ones are more loyal, and loyalty in Politics counts more than experience and qualification. Ask Kwame Nkrumah and Rawlings. How old were Totobi Kwakye and the Ahwoi brothers when they were made PNDC secretaries? Now they are old guards. They should allow the youth also to grow. Let them make their own mistakes and get wiser. "Let them sing their own song".

When Teachers are not being paid? When the NPP proposed free education, the NDC said it was better to offer quality education. Is this the quality education?

Ghana’s World Cup bonus saga to get the Hollywood treatment

There was a decent chance that Ghana would have boycotted their final group stage match against Portugal had they failed to receive their $100,000 World Cup bonuses. The threat was so serious that the country’s president stepped in and sent a plane to Brazil to have the cash delivered to the players in person.

The players got their money and Ghana did play their final World Cup match, a 2-1 loss to Portugal. Now, their story could be appearing on a movie screen near you sometime in the future.

According to The Wrap, director Darryl Wharton-Rigby has written a treatment called “Wall Pass,” a soccer-themed thriller about the Ghana bonus saga with a little touch of Hollywood added to it.

From The Wrap:

Wharton-Rigby's script will follow a courier who's tasked with bringing $3 million to an African soccer team, which refuses to play until its paid — in cash. Things go awry when the courier is ambushed on the way to make the drop, leaving him less than 12 hours to recover the stolen money.

Hopefully the script includes the fall-out from the bonus row which saw Sports Minister Elvis Afriyie Ankrah and his deputy Joseph Yamin fired, not to mention Kevin Prince-Boateng and Sulley Muntari getting sent home before the Portugal match for separate incidents within the team’s camp. You know, just to add even more drama to the movie.

Too much talk of so much money for useless projects - sanitary pads? For God's sake where is Ghana heading to? It seems clear that the current administration is just looking for more avenues to rob the country of all available funds. This is another way they will steal money from the state. God save Ghana.

Oyiwa! I told you soo!! tell me who in Ghana or in the world will agree that these idiots are still holding public offices, tell me?

The reality of the situation is that Rawlings & Mahama are the same.

Rawlings and Mahama both wants to kill the NDC, only that like killing a Cat each has his own way of killing it.

Rawlings during Atta-Mills adminstration wants at all cost the downfall of the NDC.

Mahama during his own adminstration wants the NDC to fall, else such things will never happen.

How can you keep this two on governments pay role(I mean Afriyie-Ankrah), where in the world will such foolish acts takes place?

President Mahama, you had the opportunity to be a hero (just by sacking Afryie-Ankrah & Yamin) ghanaians could have at least saw that you have balls between your legs but you chose to protect them what a pity?

Yes, you are helping your friends to stand whereas you are helping yourself to fall.

Apart from coming to conclusion that the President wants to kill his own party the NDC there's nothing that can justify the action that President Mahama took by allowing Afrixie-Ankrah and Yamin to hold public office untill now.

I AM REALLY SORRY FOR THE NDC PARTY.

Unfortunately the NPP instead of taking advantage of this,are also playing the foolish game more than the NDC.

As at writing I am sheding tears for MOTHER GHANA, why did Ghana produce such idiots? why??????

MAHAMA IS SIMPLY-A JOKE.HE IS A THIEF IN DISGUISE. An Embraer jet which was meant to cost $28.5 million after John Mahama's led negotiations was purchased at an astonishing sum of $88million.

Appointment of incompetent people invariably lead to needless costs to the nation that we can not afford. A poor and impoverished nation like Ghana must ensure that competent people are given positions that will positively impact on the people of Ghana. It looks like there is too much indiscipline and mediocrity in the system.

Until our current President and future ones to come learn how to punish their appointees for non performance and wrong doing like what the above ministers did in organizing Ghana's 2014 World Cup paticipation,the country will continue its downward trend.I think the best thing the president should have done was to let the two resign and then keep them in the Party for at least one year and then bring them back into his administration just before the next general elections if he feels they are integral part of his campaign machinery. This is how the Japanese deal with issues like this.In so doing, you don't offend the Ghanaian masses who voted for you, especially, the floating voters. It is about time our political leaders started learning some of the good political tactics from other countries. Thank you for the space provided.

The Supreme Law of Ghana i.e. The 1992 Constitution of Ghana tells us that POWER emanates from the people. The Preamble of The 1992 Constitution says " We the People of Ghana, IN EXERCISE of our natural and inalienable right to establish a framework of government, which shall secure for ourselves, and posterity the blessings of liberty, equality of opportunity and prosperity; IN A SPIRIT of friendship and peace with all peoples of the world; AND IN SOLEMN declaration and affirmation of our commitment to; Freedom, Justice, Probity and Accountability; The Principle that all powers of Government spring from the Sovereign Will of the People; The Principle of Universal Adult Suffrage; The Rule of Law; The protection and preservation of Fundamental Human Rights and Freedoms, Unity and Stability for our Nation; DO HEREBY ADOPT, ENACT AND GIVE TO OURSELVES THIS CONSTITUTION."**** Fellow Ghanaian Look me up on facebook i.e. www.facebook.com/KokuGhanaba and lets help take Ghana back from these Crookes and preserve this Great Country for our future. Even if it means taking POWER from the current crop of politicians by force. we can't watch on as our ancestors has in silence. We ca make it just as Singapore and co has in some few years. Join me let's share ideas and put our words into action. Let's stop the insults here and come together to actually riseup and kick the government out of office.

Most Ghanaian workers will work effectively for only two days this week! One republic day holiday plus two 'DUMSOR' inactive days! The past several weeks have seen Ghanaian workers working 'effectively' for three days per week. And the most useless President ever to rule this country will rather waste millions of Ghana cedis on sanitary pads! Wake up, you sleeping members of a hopeless Council of State! Are you only interested in pie eating, tea drinking and monthly allowances?
