The Executive Director of the National Service Secretariat alone is alleged to have taken 86.9 Million Cedis, enough to pay ALL the Service Providers of the NHIS with some 8 Million Cedis to spare.

And what is even more SAD is that his ONLY punishment will be the period he spends on REMAND.

If you doubt me let's re-visit this issue in November, 2015, a year from now.

For every car I sent to Ghana, the gov't deduct an amount for NHIS and keep the money without sending it to where it belongs to. This is robbery, NDC!!

We are under economic shackles all because of NDC incompetent and corrupt government. We had eight years of NPP government and times were certainly better for us than we have found ourselves in under the six years of GYEEDA,SUBAH,SADA,NSS and least of all Woyome stealling from us a whopping fifty one million.
The NDC and its head corruptible Mahama must give way to the NPP.
At least if I am poor but the sacrifice is giving all children in Ghana some free education then my sacrifice is worth it.
We have nothing to call home and tell mama about in the sad state of Ghana economy. Give us a break Mr.Mahama and your incompetent NDC.

The loot doled out to Alfred Agbesi Woyome involving his NDC collaborators at the seat of gov't, the Castle then, would have taken care of this situation.
However, looting and thievery took the better part of the Mahama NDC gov't, and currently, the health system in Ghana has collapsed.
Ghana's health institutions have effectively become death chambers in the country.
How can the country progress with the NDC? It's imperative and very critical that the Mahama NDC gov't is massively voted out, at the ballot box in 2016.

It is very sad that a good policy initiated by the Kuffour Administration has crashed so fast. The incompetence of the NDC administration is so obvious. Virtually all the good policies initiated by NPP, have failed: NHIS, NYEP, SCHOOL FEEDING SYSTEM, FREE BIRTH AT HOSPITALS, FREE TRANSPORTATION FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN, ETC. Our standard of education is so low; our roads are nothing to cheer about, every sector lacks funds.Dirt is taking over the country, our sports system is dying, unemployment is astronomically high. Above all, the confidence of every Ghanaian is eroding.

We may not be surprised that along the operational entities to manage the insurance programme personal interests have taken control. Just to the point that medical staff at the clinics will divert drugs to private pharmacies. Solution the operational aspects must be reviewed monitored regularly and taking action on time to avert complete failure. Secondly the managers of these entities must be queried or suspended for such losses. The Ministry responsible to take charge of NHIS must explain to a Parliament that must be active on these issues.

Waaaa look at the figure quoted as compared to the millions of dollars spent on the NDC mason and the renovation cost of parliament interior decorations. Times it beats my imaginations when I hear poor people fighting themselves over political affiliations. This development affects the poor, because no parliamentarian or ministeri and their families will feel the brunt of this. Uprising will surprise the leaders one day in this country. Seems to be the only option left for the poor in Ghana.

I guess the Akans are the only ones who are going to have to pay to get medical care. The smelly trokosi incestuous daughter fuckers and the dirty Zongo Northern cows will be able to access health care.

I blame this gov't for the current problems of NHIS. How can we register party activist as INDEGINES just for them to access health for free in large numbers across the country.The gov't also fails to release workers 2.5% deductions from SNITT as WORKERS contribution for health delivery.They have also failed to release the 2.5% VAT for NHIS to function. Worse is that they want to increase the premium to burden the poor contributor. This is the " I care for you " gov't indeed!

Ghana was under cash and carry and many people died at home, they will not even go to the hospitals because, they could not pay. We all remember when the NPP came to power under Kufour, they introduced NHIS an health insuarance scheme that allowed even the very poor to visit a doctor.Now after only 6yrs of NDC they all but brought us back to cash and carry.
So I ask the NDC and Mahama, what are they good for? I think this is a fair question.
