It is thieves who fear to answer such questions promptly because they may end up exposing themselves. Ghanaians deserve better and any serious Minister not having the intensions of cover-up or stealing must know how much was spent on the world cup and must freely give the figure without fear. But this useless NDC government will not answer such a question promptly because they have to cover their arse. Thieves.

Ghana had about 1bln dollars in reserve when Nkrumah took over the reins of government in this country. Could you imagine what the value of one billion dollars was in the early fifties? Again, after 2years of his rule, cocoa prices at the world market rocketed and increased four-fold. But contrary to any sound economic planning, he did not reserve any fraction of the windfall for a rainy day, as the Whiteman had done with only one fourth of the revenue he got from cocoa. So, apart from revenues from gold and other natural resources, what did Nkrumah do with at that huge money from the astronomical cocoa prices and the big reserve he inherited, which took many years to build for our financial stability and sustainable development?

He just went on a spending spree both in Ghana and around the world, throwing his weight about and talking big. So when the cocoa prices fell close to the end of his rule, he was quick to point accusing fingers at the West, blaming them for manipulating cocoa prices to sabotage the economy of Ghana and overthrow his government. Finally, after misusing all the money mainly on useless prestigious projects, failed communist agricultural projects and whimsical mad-rush industrialization projects that did not withstand the test of time, he also burdened the young nation with another billion dollars' debt before he was forced out of the country.

The truth is that, Kwame Nkrumah met a rich, confident country with a stable economy, and left it nearly bankrupt in few years as a result of gross mismanagement.

If this idiot had any sense in his head, he will not be campaigning for the Ebola nation's cup. And why will parliament waste its precious time entertaining such a dunce within the corridors of that august house?

THIS AYARIGA GUY IS HOPING TO MAKE A KILLING AT THE SPORTS MINISTRY SO DON'T WORRY HIM. THIS MINISTRY IS ONE OF THE MOST CORRUPT AND MOST LUCRATIVE. YOU SEE HE WAS DESPRATE TO BRING THE CAN15 TO GHANA? THIS WAS THE MAN WHO SAID THE NOMINATED DEPUTY UPPER WEST REGIONAL MINISTER WHO WAS ACCUSED OF CORRUPTION SHOULD NOT BE AKSED SUCH ANY QUESTIONS RELATED TO THAT DURING THE PARLIAMENTARY VETTING. HE SAID THIS WILL MEAN THAT ANYONE CAN ACCUSE A POTENTIAL MINISTER OF ANYTHING. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. THE PEOPLE HAD MADE WRITTEN SUBMISSIONS ACCUSING THE INCOMING DEPUTING MINISTER. HE IS ALSO LOOKING FOR WAYS TO CHEAT THE STATE SO HE DOESN'T WANT THE SECRECTS OF THE MINISTRY REVEALED TOO EARLY.

I beg to differ from the previous opinions. The case in question is before a parliamentary inquiry and the expected answer will form part of the committee's submission. What Ayariga is trying to say is that he doesn't want to prejudice the committee's findings by quoting figures which should actually be part of the committee's report. I believe there are people of legal repute among the MPs grilling Ayariga who should know this or have they buried their professional knowledge in the graveyard of political hatred and opposition.

It's before the justice Dzamefe Commission, not a Parliamentary Committee! Get the facts straight and stop misleading the unsuspecting members of the public. Ayariga must go before the honourable house and provide relevant answers to their questions. Instead of this childish cat & mouse foolishness he's playing!

Osei Dankwa is seriously wrong and should not delve into anything he scarcely has any knowledge in. For your knowledge, Parliament is Sovereign and even more powerful than the Supreme Court, let alone a Commission of Enquiry, Ayariga therefore has to submit to the Parliamentary scrutiny.

Ayariga cannot be smarter than life. He will come back running to parliament. That ministry is full of land mines and the way he is going he will be booby trapped soon. He will sing choruses like a bird.
