A refund of the 51 million dollars from Woyomi should be judiciously used to setup a factory to manufacture sanitory pads for our school girls. The Government should spar us taking loans to buy sanitary pads!!! A sanitary pad factory will create employment for for the youth and earn income for the state. My free economic advice to the Government.

We all know the conspiracy to murder and kill Mills was engineered by the pepeni/ayigbe wicked anti Akan agenda and one of the triggers was the reestablishment of diplomatic relations with our brothers the Israelis . Now they wish us to make enemies with our natural allies in the west so we estranged with our diaspora . Why don't they go and organize a demo at the chief imam/terrorists house for after going to the Israeli embassy to beg for gifts and donations they received in good faith they chose to insult the Israelis . I wonder why this NDC mafia/Muslim group did not organize this demo during the Arab spring when they were killing our Akans in the tens of thousands all over . Why don't we see demos in front of the Libyan , Syrian , Morocco , Tunisia , Egypt and Saudi embassies ? why do they want to turn this country into another anti American / west fortress of stupidity. Did it ever cross their retarded minds that over half a million Akans live in Germany and over a million in the USA due the exodus caused by the wickedness and discrimination of the jj rawlings fake revolution? I will not mention the rest of the countries that accepted our people and gave them a chance to live comfortably yet they want to make propaganda war against these nations. Let them bus these fools to the embassy and i hope they have said their last goodbyes to their mothers as we will ambush them with our cutlasses and make sure they never go back home . we shall instruct our criminals and armed robbers to put their nefarious activities to good use and start targeting only ndc homes and their sympathizers . We shall make Ghana very unsafe for them as they have free accommodation , free food , free cars , free house boys and girls so can misbehave whenever they wake up. Americans despite some of their mischief with Monsanto and other foolishness are still our brothers and we will make sure all people who mean us well continue to feel welcome . Did it even cross the minds of these idiotic ndc that the person who wrote that tweet had every right since they were most likely half Akan and are disgusted by the careless irresponsible way the ndc are ruling ? did they not so long ago say they have a better agenda , action year, manifesto , no need for an all inclusive govt or tapping into the potentials of even the diaspora , no need for free education in the south too, no need to investigate the mysterious death of Mills , encouraging sodomy and homosexuality , govt still in first gear or now in reverse or completely stopped for lack of the fuel of ideas . In fact things are so bad that nobody sees anything but a bitter Ghana agenda , competent people with integrity refuse to participate in the mess of a govt or serve under and idiot of a pepeni president Mahama. Even our international partners shy away from having anything to do with this NDC as our problems are all about NDC POLITICS and their incorrigible rouge tribal fascism which further pushes our people to poverty . if you speak up and don't sing their hallelujah chorus of stupidity and hatred of the Akans you will be immediately be branded a drug baron , corrupt , arrogant , ashanti/akyem primitive ,madman , deranged , fool or idiot for pointing them in the right direction . how can there be a successful economic dialogue that will produce sustainable macroeconomics and plans based on the positive potentials of our people if all the major stakeholders including the diaspora are marginalized or excluded . if no one can dare to criticize the govt for fear of being victimized or persecuted by the ewes and northerners today ? The potential of the majority due to this tribal ndc politics is excluded from participating in anything so how do they expect the move things forward in reality have nothing to offer except corruption , hatred of the Akans and narrow mindedness? petition or not this govt is burdened by being illegitimate in the minds of all citizens ( as all still suspect election rigging and corruption of the judges ) so can never perform or have the true authority and support of the majority to produce a better future.one way or another they will be made to leave as their despicable acts have lead to all victims deeply despising them. God is with us and soon we shall have our day

'A Man of God', so you should refrain from invoking curses on your national team,the Black Stars! You focus on the state, but what have the generation of players which have followed you,done to help you the pace-setters! I do recall your decision to pass up Stoke City`s lucrative contact offer of 30 k pounds,to have you play for the team,and your rejection of that offer, asnd to remain with Kotoko and the national team. Osei,you are aware many of your seniors like Poku Mensah[Mambo],Asebi-Boakye,Coker,Adarkwa,Salisu, Dogo Moro,Coker,Kwao Baffoe,Kwame Nti etc, were worse off than members of your group, which got some level of private assistance from soccer philanthropists like the late B.K Adusei. I know that many of your contemporaries like Assuming, Yaw Sam,and Juantuah, fell by the wayside when you and a few made a natural progression into coaching and or sports administration with the COS.
But your concern and efforts to get the state to fufil the promises made to you folks is perfectly in order;and is notthing personal. We thank God for the good health and Graces he has bestowed on you and your immediate family.

if Ghana is not worth dying for as your Nation just advise your Kids not to respond to any national duty- those who think they own their Country of birth will do it.

Everything about this man is fake. He's a clever trained Rawling alike con man who presented suspiciously fictitious documents and used his political criminal associates like Barton Oduros, Betty Mould Iddrisus and co to dupe the nation.

Woyome, the NDC's master crook and criminal pay master was dubiously paid that huge sum of money for no work done what-so-ever for the state at the needed time when our children were schooling shamefully under trees, children hospitals including the maternity wards closing down for lack of finance resource and equipment

He deserves no mercy and should be served with long jail term to serve as deterrent to warn off those criminally corrupt political appointees like the Asiedu Nketias and the naughty team B Ablakwas.

If this is the best the A-G offices of Ghana has to offer then I say Ghana is need of minimal intelligence at the AG office to function up to par. Unless and until the government can produce a document submitted by Woyome to the so-called court of competent jurisdiction that has been ruled to be fraudulently obtained and or as unauthorized duplication and reproduced, the attorney for the state cannot make such inflammatory and unsubstantiated claim. Woyome followed all the practices of state to win the initial open bid contract award and with state blessing and a letter of introduction went for funding through financial institutions outside Ghana.
His work product up to that point adhered to practices and procedures of our Ghana government. It was ex-President Kufour and his henchmen who with malice and ignorance used their knowledge of prices proposed in the bid package by participants to obtain price quotation that undermined the bid process. Woyome not only deserves what he got but should have sued Kufour administration for breaching government practices and procedures for personal gain, political and financial,

Staff at the Ghana AG offices should lament a system that allows people in authority to skirt standing principles and values of government without incurring the wrath of laws in Ghana instead of going blindly and without principles after people because of politics and tribal preferences. How is it fair that Kufour and people of the office of the presidency get to see price quotation of participating bids and for Kufour to use those as basis to extract favorable pricing from a Chinese company and government? People in civilized developed nations know that it is the adherence to laws of nation by all that keeps law and order and bribery to a minimum yet in Ghana we allow people at the top of society including our president to do otherwise and expect respect for law and enforcement agencies. What a nation of mediocre minds and ideals.

Your assertions are valid, Mr Mensah, but you fail to acknowledge certain irrefutable facts. Woyome's defense is that he performed 'financial engineering', and claimed that he got the bank of Austria to provide guarantees. However, Bank of Austria has firmly denied that, and provided evidence to the court. Based on this fact alone - and there are others - Woyome is guilty of misrepresentation.

And who paid it? Was it not the then Vice President and the head of the economic management team John Mahama, the then Governor of the BoG, Amissah Arthur, Betty Mould, Barton Odro, Duffour, Martey Newman, Alex Segbefia, Late President Mills who paid it, when the character Woyome said he didn't even have a contract? So what influenced the payment?
Ghana is under siege by a bunch of incompetent, theft prone looting brigade and the country is suffering for it, and until they are voted out and sent packing, Ghana is going nowhere.
