You mean to say that Kuffour's travels, though too many did not benefit Ghana? How were debts that Ghana had accrued before him cancelled? How did he get loans to finance projects?

The debt cancellation was through the goodwill/initiative of Gordon Brown,Tony Blair,AND George W Bush.The NHIS was one of the conditions they imposed on Kuffuor to do.

You are right somehow,the debt cancellation was not because of the travels but because his government went for highly indebted countries program and some of the programs such as millennium account was for many democracies in Africa but not because of his travels.
Kufour even travelled to the US for more than a week to attend one of the sons graduation,most of his trips were hopeless trips,very very insignificant.
That said I think you are wrong to suggest they imposed NHIS program on him,just ask yourself how any country will forgive you debt and then ask you to go into a social program that will put you in more debt.it can't happen.

The mere fact that Bagabaga College of Education was established in 1944, and was one of the oldest educational institutions in northern Ghana, disproves the myth being peddled around that Nkrumah introduced Education into the North. In fact, Western Education was introduced into the North long before Kwame Nkrumah became the prime-minister of the Gold Coast.

Northern leaders like S.D Dombo, Jato Keleo, B.K Adama, Tolon Naa, Bawumia and many others might have even completed their education and started their careers long before Nkrumah was brought to the Cold Coast from UK to serve as a General Secretary of the group fighting for our independence.

I was really disappointed to see Mr. Mahama plying dirty politics by honoring Nkrumah where he shouldn't be honored at all because; he didn't have anything to do with BAC. Mr. Mahama by his action is perpetuating the myth that Nkrumah civilized Northers by introducing Education to them. Even the much talked about free education that Mr. Mahama himself enjoyed was put forward by S.D Dombo as a political bargain for the unitary state and not any initiative by Nkrumah to civilize Northern Ghanaians.

RUBY MAHAMA NAILED AT HEATHROW AIRPORT WITH 12.5 KILOS OF COCAINE

London’s Heathrow Grabs Africa’s
Narcotic Cleopatra
November 24, 2014
It was a fairytale life for the 32 year
old. A high flying life with deep political
connections across a sub-region of over
260 million people – frequent flights in
not only the first class sections of some
of the World’s leading airlines, but
Bombadier Private Jets reportedly
belonging to one of West Africa’s
richest men and the brother of the
current Ghanaian President and
Chairman of the Regional Political
Union. Sleeping in the choicest hotels
around the world came only as an aside.
But this life at 15,000ft, for someone
born and bred in a country with per
capita just over a $1,000, came crushing
down on the Morning of November 10
when Border Security at London’s
Heathrow crashed the operation of the
lady who has been described and
nicknamed by some within the
Intelligence Community as “Africa’s
drug Cleopatra”, having used her
extensive political and social networks to
courier an estimated $75 million of
cocaine directly in just the past three
years.
It all ended for the modern “cleopatra”,
originally born Ruby Adu-Gyamfi when
a trip planned to be like the many she
has undertaken to over 28 countries in 5
continents turned out to be the opposite
as a result of collaborative work
between intelligence agencies in four
continents but interestingly without the
knowledge of any of her native Ghana
or Africa’s security units due to a
strong suspicion of complicity at the
highest level of Ghana’s political system.
With the world’s best intelligence and
security agencies behind her track, it
was supposed to only be a matter of
small time before this drug baroness was
nailed. However, numerous aliases, dozens
of passports bearing different names
and pictures – including those from
Austria, Canada, Brazil and Belarus and
several Ghanaian and Nigerian
passports – including a Ghanaian
diplomatic passport, allowed her rare
privileges both within the country and
outside. As though this was not enough,
cosmetic surgeries, aided by plastic
surgeons, and the sheer brazenness of
her operations plus the well documented
help of officialdom in her native Ghana
had succeeded in aiding her to escape
arrest for over 24 months.
When security officials finally closed in
on her, not even the power of the
Ghanaian Presidency or the brandishing
of a diplomatic passport could save her.
In her possession was as much as 12
kilograms of cocaine valued
conservatively at $5 million. So
unbothered was her operation that
unlike many others who conceal their
consignment in several ingenious ways,
‘Cleopatra’ carried her full consignment
in her hand luggage, having used the
VVIP Presidential lounge at Ghana’s
Kotoka International Airport, according
to local reports and signals picked from
Scotland Yard, one of the agencies that
worked on her capture.
Intelligence officers indicate that Ruby
managed to get her consignment safely
into the first class section of the
particular British Airways flight using
her connections in the Ghanaian
establishment, who managed to even get
a security official to safely courier her
consignment into the plane. Sources
close to the operation that nailed her
say that Ruby was spotted by other
first class passengers trying to fit 2kg
of her consignment into her hand bag.
These passengers alerted the British
Airways staff while the plane was
approaching London with the staff in
turn radioing Heathrow to be on alert.
On arrival at Heathrow, border security
officials, who had ordered only the first
class passengers to disembark, quickly
asked her to step aside to be searched.
This request is said to have infuriated
Ruby, who questioned the security
officials, pulling out her Ghanaian
diplomatic passport in the process. This
diplomatic passport with the name Ruby
Mahama did little to convince Border
Security who proceeded to carry out the
search.
So excited were the global intelligence
agency when she was finally captured
that three top officials of the Drug
Enforcement Administration (DEA) of
the United States quickly jetted off to
London, within 4 hours of her arrest, to
interrogate her on various matters of
concern to American officials in their
unending war on narcotics.
Norman Shanks, an Aviation Security
expert who spoke to Airport
International was puzzled that the
major achievement chalked by Heathrow
in capturing this long sought after Drug
Empress did not make it into headlines
of the mainstream British and
International Press, but was also of the
view that it did not make it into the
major headlines because the top
international agencies that worked on it
wanted to keep a lid on her arrest for
various reasons.
“This for me seems to be the biggest
victory in many months for the global
drug war. Arresting this lady was
important to stop a large part of the
volumes of narcotics we have seen
pouring into Europe and North America
in the past few years. Again, this was
one of the most difficult operations in
recent years because with her very close
connections and helpers in the Ghana
government, it was almost impossible to
expect any local help to close in on her.
All the work therefore was completely
done by agents of foreign agencies and
mostly from foreign bases and in such a
situation, you can only depend on luck”,
Shanks said, from his Coventry base.
Before her arrest, Ruby, who also goes
by the name “Angel” had been spotted,
according to intelligence sources in
Nigeria, during the inauguration of a
multimillion dollar Stadium in a country
where over 70% of the population still to
find, let alone live on a dollar a day. Her
mission there, according to the reports,
was to help entertain the top political
elite across West Africa, including the
Presidents of the three big West
African Nations – Nigeria, Ghana and
Cote d’ivoire, who descended on Akwa
Ibom, one of the many states in Nigeria
whose Governor put up the Stadium as a
legacy project.
For now, Ruby Angel or Cleopatra as she
was appropriately christened will no
longer be travelling with Presidents or
entertaining them. She will not also
enjoy the luxury of her villas in Accra’s
most expensive suburbs including her
main mansion at Trassaco Valley, which
is the city’s Beverley Hills with multi-
million mansions belonging to Ghana’s
political class and business elite as well as
some of Nigeria’s richest. Her properties
in Cantonments and East Legon, which
are also extremely expensive suburbs in
Ghana’s capital with land going for as
much as a million dollars, will certainly
also miss her.

Do you know how many times he would have to be at the airport meeting world leaders coming to the country during confabs?

Have you ever seen Obama or Biden driving to Dulles International Airport to meet any world leader?
Who meets him is not a big deal so long as there is a government official there to direct him to what to do together with our head of mission in that country.

That backward thing Kufour did when then US Ambassador in Ghana made him to go to her residence to welcome Mrs Bush to Ghana is not what we want for our president,it is never done anywhere,not even in our culture,the visitor goes to the host before the host visits the guest if it is necessary.

Qatar King is controversial and one wonders what he wants from Ghana hence those grand diplomatic gestures being afforded Mahama a desperate leader suffering the effects of using his peoples money to win elections unfairly.

ever since Mahama election Ghana has on the back foot; in Ghana today every public official does as they pleases. Take Kotaka airport VIP case where those in charge abused that privilege for COCAINE PURPOSES.

Under Mahama people in office use their offices as NDC property and simply ABUSE THIER OFFICES WHILE MAHAMA LEADS THEM ALL THE WAY.

I DON'T TRUST NDC LET ALONE MAHAMA SO LET US BE CONCERNED WHEN MAHAMA SUDDENLY UP STICKS AND GO TO QATA.

RUBY MAHAMA NAILED AT HEATHROW AIRPORT WITH 12.5 KILOS OF COCAINE

London’s Heathrow Grabs Africa’s
Narcotic Cleopatra
November 24, 2014
It was a fairytale life for the 32 year
old. A high flying life with deep political
connections across a sub-region of over
260 million people – frequent flights in
not only the first class sections of some
of the World’s leading airlines, but
Bombadier Private Jets reportedly
belonging to one of West Africa’s
richest men and the brother of the
current Ghanaian President and

With the world’s best intelligence and

in her hand luggage, having used the
VVIP Presidential lounge at Ghana’s
Kotoka International Airport, according
to local reports and signals picked from
Scotland Yard, one of the agencies that
worked on her capture.
Intelligence officers indicate that Ruby
managed to get her consignment safely
into the first class section of the
particular British Airways flight using
her connections in the Ghanaian
establishment, who managed to even get
a security official to safely courier her
consignment into the plane. Sources
close to the operation that nailed her
say that Ruby was spotted by other
first class passengers trying to fit 2kg
of her consignment into her hand bag.
These passengers alerted the British
Airways staff while the plane was
approaching London with the staff in
turn radioing Heathrow to be on alert.
On arrival at Heathrow, border security
officials, who had ordered only the first
class passengers to disembark, quickly
asked her to step aside to be searched.
This request is said to have infuriated
Ruby, who questioned the security
officials, pulling out her Ghanaian
diplomatic passport in the process. This
diplomatic passport with the name Ruby
Mahama did little to convince Border
Security who proceeded to carry out the
search.
So excited were the global intelligence
agency when she was finally captured
that three top officials of the Drug
Enforcement Administration (DEA) of
the United States quickly jetted off to
London, within 4 hours of her arrest, to
interrogate her on various matters of
concern to American officials in their
unending war on narcotics.
Norman Shanks, an Aviation Security
expert who spoke to Airport
International was puzzled that the
major achievement chalked by Heathrow
in capturing this long sought after Drug
Empress did not make it into headlines
of the mainstream British and
International Press, but was also of the
view that it did not make it into the
major headlines because the top
international agencies that worked on it
wanted to keep a lid on her arrest for
various reasons.
“This for me seems to be the biggest
victory in many months for the global
drug war. Arresting this lady was
important to stop a large part of the
volumes of narcotics we have seen
pouring into Europe and North America
in the past few years. Again, this was
one of the most difficult operations in
recent years because with her very close
connections and helpers in the Ghana
government, it was almost impossible to
expect any local help to close in on her.
All the work therefore was completely
done by agents of foreign agencies and
mostly from foreign bases and in such a
situation, you can only depend on luck”,
Shanks said, from his Coventry base.
Before her arrest, Ruby, who also goes
by the name “Angel” had been spotted,
according to intelligence sources in
Nigeria, during the inauguration of a
multimillion dollar Stadium in a country
where over 70% of the population still to
find, let alone live on a dollar a day. Her
mission there, according to the reports,
was to help entertain the top political
elite across West Africa, including the
Presidents of the three big West
African Nations – Nigeria, Ghana and
Cote d’ivoire, who descended on Akwa
Ibom, one of the many states in Nigeria
whose Governor put up the Stadium as a
legacy project.
For now, Ruby Angel or Cleopatra as she
was appropriately christened will no
longer be travelling with Presidents or
entertaining them. She will not also
enjoy the luxury of her villas in Accra’s
most expensive suburbs including her
main mansion at Trassaco Valley, which
is the city’s Beverley Hills with multi-
million mansions belonging to Ghana’s
political class and business elite as well as
some of Nigeria’s richest. Her properties
in Cantonments and East Legon, which
are also extremely expensive suburbs in
Ghana’s capital with land going for as
much as a million dollars, will certainly
also miss her.
