As the days go by more and more people wake up to the reality of the ndc anti Akan hate agenda and their deep rooted corrupt dark souls of evil .This was first initiated by the Ewes and through Mahama and his brothers being championed today by the northerners. We see in Iraq/Syria the announce of the Islamic caliphate state and their map which now includes Ghana and the whole of West Africa .Most people are ignorant of the fact that unlike in Christianity and other religions whereby the leaders or priests are men of peace in Islam their imams or priests advocate for war and destruction of the non believers and when war starts every single one of them assumes the title emir and becomes the captain of a murderous horde as we saw in Libya and with the boko haram. The mosque is not only a place of worship but an army fortress or barracks and that is why they must in the design in every area which is not predominately Muslim its required to have a tall reconnaissance tower. we see in Accra and other places these mosques spring up all over the place at militarily very strategic positions but we are vigilant and when our bloody revolution starts we will raze all these structures to the ground and drive out this menace from our midst . There are some brainwashed idiotic fools who still believe mahama has good intentions but don't know he is a Muslim disguised as a christian which Islam allows and his only agenda is to weaken with corruption and destroy with negligence the Akan economy so the caliphate can be achieved that is why no project of strategic importance can see the light of day under his watch.As for the Ewes his partners in crime all i can say is have you ever wondered why when you go to Togo there the Ewes are very nice people and true African brothers but the moment you cross the Aflao border into Ghana the ayigbe wickedness , hate and evil starts? The ewes in Togo know these ayigbe are so bad and useless that they are not interested in reuniting with them but would rather throw them all into the sea. We should find a way to trick them into taking them back as we Akans will definitely be better off without this foolish idiotic people. Mahama and his brothers have stolen so much that even the bank of Ghana admits they dont know where our foreign reserves have disappeared to , i can tell you where , Turkey , Iran, Dubai and other Muslim countries where its safe for them. Congrats to Kumasi for hitting the nail on the head and exposing the discrimination and abuse of the civil/human rights with the WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO YOU demonstration , today we see idiots and saboteurs trying turn it into a question of mere economics , even one idiot woman came out with a humiliating brainless idea to go naked just to deflect from the main core issue of discrimination against the Akans. My people we have only one problem and if that's solved the rest will be easy , the problem is discrimination and the Anti Akan agenda of part of this mafia ndc . its never about npp , ndc ,left or right wing ideology politics but simply pepeni/ayigbe tribalism against Akan nationalist evolution. They are only attracted to ideas that only destroy our economy like this EPA paramount foolishness with the Europeans or giving away our gold fields to foreigners who never invest here in the name of prudent business , end result our people are exploited and made poorer. we shall never surrender or be fooled again. While we were thinking of a better Ghana for ALL citizens they were thinking of only themselves and destroying the future for our children . We need to have our revolution and secede to form our own state as they will never change.

Indeed, if she is as CONFIDENT and as ACTION ORIENTED as she sounds and COMING from AMERICA with the FOCUS REQUISITE YANKEE WORK ETHICS & FOCUS inculcated in her, then NOW is MAHAMA getting serious in DEALING with the ISSUES.

I never met the woman but considering what I discern from this short, brisk interview that she had paints a picture of a GO-GETTER who is going to make things happen.

I CANNOT BE MORE EXCITED.

This RARE match of a SQUARE PEG in a SQUARE HOLE must be immediately REPLICATED in certain KEY AREAS of the Economy, particularly, REVENUE MOBILIZATION and REVENUE SOURCES.

How soon the REPLICATION commences is CRITICAL for the functionality of the PROCESSES and CHANGES Kabuki Quartey
will bring on board. For, it is NOT going to lead to anything if ALL other Government Departments and Agencies continue to do things the OLD FASHIOND WAY.

Mr. PRESIDENT, this MUST only be a beginning. We look forward for more ACTION. YOU CAN DELIVER but YOU MUST WANT IT even DESPARATELY in order to have it happen. No SILVER PLATTER BUSINESS.

I can only wish you Good Luck and God's Guidance now that you have TURNED the CORNER but MORE must follow

Even before you present their names, let me help you out with a few of them.

Segbefia - former deputy Chief of Staff at the Castle and now a Deputy Minister of some sort in Mahamas govt

Asamoah-Boateng - former Minster of Information & Minister of Local Govt in Kufuors govt.

Nii Oko Vanderpuiye - currently Mayor of Accra

Ekow Spio-Garbrah - former Ghana's Ambassador to the US and former Minister of Information in Rawlings govt

These are some of the more visible state functionaries who after having lived abroad for long periods, some having adopted foreign nationalities, are presumed by you to be more sophisticated and who come with a greater desire to solve the problems of Ghana.

Now, Mr Not-so-Serious Talk, can you plse place your hand on your heart and tell us all if any of those gentlemen are any better than their not-so-sophisticated local counter-parts? And out of curiosity, can you please explain, what in your estimation, the word sophistication means?

In my view, the government must encourage Ghanaians who want to come back to Ghana to help develop the country. There is too much unreasonable taxes of their belongings, such as vehicles, other machineries, causing these individuals headaches. There are so many willing individual Ghanaians who want to come back home, but because of some kind of unhealthy activities, it is very difficult to do. I urge the government to bring back Ghanaians who want to help. This is my point.

Parliament should also verify from the US department of state to confirm whether this woman has really renounced her US citizenship. So parliament should do 2 things
1-verify her renunciation of her citizenship
2-verify that she voted in the last
general elections.take the appropriate steps to punish her if found wanting

This woman must not be serious. Taxing an ordinary Ghanaian who struggle very hard in the scotching sun to feed the family while the government sits down unconcern, but pocketing these contracted loans used them on these young university students girls, must be nothing more than a practical joke.
I think if these loans are used to create jobs, it would have been a laudable idea the levy tax. On the other hand, if these loans find their way into these "big shots" pockets and used on the young girls, those girls would be right people to be taxed.
DAMN FOOLISH, RAPISTS, PEDOPHILES, AND GREEDY MINISTERS, you will be brought before the court and you will go to Nsawam very soon. I do promise you!

At least she is more forthcoming than certain Kuffour appointees who claimed to have dropped dual citizenship on the eve of their vetting when indeed the letters they had was "intent" to drop their dual citizenship. She is also far better than the crook named Victor Nii Okaikoi the defeated Odododiodoo constituency NPP parliamentary candidate in the last elections who defrauded a lot of Ghanaians in the US
under the pretext of legalizing their stay. He was imprisoned for falsely and fraudulently holding himself out as an immigration lawyer. Realizing that all avenues of making money legally had been closed to him as a convicted felon and risking a heavier sentence the next time if caught again, Okaikoi who had numerous aliases, decamped to Ghana and duped the NPP and other Ghanaians into thinking there were altruistic reasons for him denouncing his "US citizenship"--when he was never a citizen!
NPP? Double standards!

Passion my ASS. Maybe someone should ask her to produce her past W-2s and all would see how much she was making in the US. Compared that to what she will be making in NDC government, this is no brainer. Now she can pillage the state coffers and join NDC corrupt officials. She is not even qualified; clearly this is not passion; it is opportunity for her bitch ass.

Is the main problem with the economy the inability to raise enough revenue for government’s expenditure or the wanton dissipation of the little revenue by politicians and public administrators. If officials will leave official premises to go and hold departmental disciplinary committee meetings at a hotel on weekends and nothing is seen to be wrong why can we not have problems with our economy. If they were not charged for the use of the hotel's facilities were they not charged for the meals they enjoyed and carried some home. When officials continue to milk Ghana dry how can't we have problems with our economy and it is always the poor who are trying to make a living who are taxed for others to waste it on things that could be avoided.

Having read the story on Ghanaweb concerning Deputy Minister-designate for Finance and Economic Planning, Mona Helen Kabuki Quartey, I dont see any credibility in Mona's statement. How could you drop your US nationality just because you want to address Ghanaian economy? What can you as a deputy minister do? Mahama government dont have any competent people to manage the economy therefore he should just quit the sit and go home. Who knows what they promised this lady before agreeing to drop her US nationality? Is she the only so-called qualified finance Ghanaian expert we have in the US? Shame to Mahama and his NDC. I only believe in principle and that is " whatever has a beginning definitively has an end". If the late Eyadema of Togo, Gadhaffi of Libya can also be a history, Mahama and the NDC will soon be a history.

Is Mona not the same person who sank AGC's hedge book into $500 million debt, which eventually led to the sale of the company to Aglogold? The eminent colapse looming on the company stems from Mona's incompetence as head of treasury of the company in the late 90s. Oh JDM! This is just like dropping Ghana's economy from frying pan to fire.

Miss Mona Helen Kabuki Quartey has made her calculation and she is aware there is no turning back once renunciation is granted. Giving up U.S. citizenship is considered permanent. But apart from freedom and good opportunity while you are able body USA doesn't compare with Britain, Germany, Holland and Japan where the PENSIONERS and old people are well cared for. So renouncing USA citizenship is not a big deal comparing with the bribes Mona can get at Ministry of Finance. Don't underrate her, she is in for the kill ie make a lot of DOLLARS and get out. Ghana doesn't need such "fakers" . But my advice to MONA is "where are you going to spend your loot" if it gets too hot in Ghana?
