I will not put a dollar on any project until I bring my own officials from outside for accountability. Some Government of officials are criminals and would even hire criminal accountants to massage the books the books to make annual statement look good to the eye and not on the actual project of intent. Just reflect on Humado etc. They over charged the project and then he split the difference yet in the face of Parliament he is still an MP.Disgraceful.

Author:-Mahmoud...If we may ask, is the NDC new party school another communist ideological institution? The Young Pioneers implanted by Nkrumah in our midst did more harm than good to the development of this country when they usurped power from 1972 to 2001.

Our experience with the quack neo-communists is that, they seize power unjustifiably through coups and counter coups, and Ghanaians only suffer dictatorship, tyranny, corruption and economic mismanagement under them. Being in power now for six years, the NDC has failed again to improve the economy simply because their fundamentals are wrong. In fact, they don't have what it takes to salvage the sinking economy.

Under normal circumstances, political parties are formed to produce leaders democratically. But in the case of NDC, a tyrant created the party with state power and resources to legitimize his illegitimate regime and cling to power fraudulently. NDC is therefore, an artificial and illegitimate party followed by stomach politicians and sycophants.

No one within that so-called political party is credible enough to be entrusted
with even a nail, they will steal it.

Imagine if someone who claims to be a
credible politician can go out there to
distribute salt, "BENTOA", rice, cooking oil, cutlasses, sardine, cornedbeef and perhaps cement and roofing sheet to influence voters to vote for him or her, what sort of
credible politician such person can be? Thief and brigand, rapist and
arm rober not a politician.

Mr. Bagbin,
can you mail soft and hard copies of your lecture to Flagstaff House, and to your party, NDC.
By contents and thrust of your lecture, it seems you still do not have access to the President. As the majority leader, why don't you give these comments to the President via the emmissary who brings government everyday for listing in Parliament.
Incompetent government by a party of such people like Bagbin!

What's all this talk about decoupling of government institutions coming from? Do we think, seriously, in Ghana that the decoupling of institutions staffed by people, professionals and or political party operators, with the very same culture of cronyism, nepotism, favoritism, bribery and corruptible inner cores will save the day? Did J. J. Rawlings and his band not come to clean and wash away all the ills and vices to gain the mini-god status bestowed on him by some in Ghana? How many political sanitation exercises have we gone through in Ghana, from military rule to civilian governments, to still be where we started? Unless and until there are effective government institutions staffed by people with love for Ghana we will blowing smoke in the dark here in Ghana.

At times I am at a lost about how our people think, especially the intellectuals. The Attorney General Prosecutes on behalf of the state. If the statement here is confirmed to be that of Alban Gbabin, and he been a lawyer is he telling us that his government interfere in the work of the Attorney General?
From my little knowledge of government I am aware that any prosecutor is a human being who has his or her world outlook, thus separation of the Attorney General Department from the Ministry of Justice will not improve the administration of justice in this country.
History had it that all illegal acts of states are initiated by the Minister of Justice and supported by the Attorney General appointed by the state. I have come across a lot of intellectual dishonesty, that even in the U.S. where the death penalty is a norm and carried out citizens of that country instead of calling for the abolition of it and in their client states call for its abolition elsewhere.
Whiles the U.S. President has the power to veto rulings by both the congress and senate we are misinformed that presidents should not have the right to veto any ruling by the legislature and this comes mostly again from U.S. citizens.
I have a question for members of the Ghanaian legislature. Some time ago the Ghanaian legislature ban Etroxovi because that traditional religion is alleged to have been infringing on the right of children, when that is the nature of all religions. No religion respect the dignity of the human person, it debase man and make him a miserable animal. Why is it that U.S. citizens who call for the abolition of Etroxovi are not calling for the abolition of the Abram religions which have since 1979 caused the death of many girls, women, men around the world and have declared the right to education by girls and women a taboo, enforced with the gun, mostly by death penalty. A look at things as they stand today means that the world is still living in the past with us not tackling the problems but rather making noise.

I love the Canadian Prime Minister, Stephen Harper. He is astute and very intelligent, not like some bleeding hearts in Europe and elsewhere. The Canadian Prime Minister has said his government will not throw money into the African dark hole. He would rather send Canadian aid to countries in South and Central America where he will get a bang for his aid dollar.

Who can blame this wise leader? Oh how I wish all western nations, especially the Scandinavian countries, will be smart as my Prime Minister so these perfidious Africans can go to hell with their corruption.

Hmmmmm! Hope the next comment from Bagbin would not be a denial of this statement or that he was misquoted.

When will the NDC stop corruption in the system? If Bagbin, who belongs to the corrupt administration, reveals this, then where do we go for shelter?

Bravo!!! Some of us have been saying this for years. Unless and until we separate the post of A-G from the political post of Minister for Justice, corruption will continue to flourish. Let's all put pressure on the President!

Bagbin, please stop the spin and call a spade a spade. What do you mean the public has tolerance for corruption. You and your NDC govt. are perpertrating the corruption and not the public. So why are you spinning propaganda. You want the public to hit the streets to protest against NDC corruption?. How many times have we done that only for you and your NDC bandits to set your brutal tribalistic security dogs upon us. And even in the courts, where you have stacked it with your NDC hench tribalistic judges, we don't get any reprieve. So Bagbin you are now exposed so much so that the International community knows that you and your NDC govt is rotten and corrupt. So what do they do, Hold $600M aid that they surely know you will loot by way of your schematic "create, loot and share" mantra of NDC. And you cry like a baby who lost a candy. And we all applaud the EU for doing that. Secure that millions that the NDC looted for Wayome, Isofoton SADA, GYEEDA et all. Then your development partners will know you are serious to fight corruption. And I tell you this, this will never happen in a million years. Why, because it is you the NDC govt. that is causing all this financial harm to Ghana, how can you fight it.A Party, NDC party of thieves.

What concerted effort has been made by bagbin in his many years in Paerliament to strengthen or pass workable anti-corruption laws? What procedures did bagbin openly put in plaxce within his ministry when he served as a cabinet member in the past? Bagbin is a frustrated man who can't seem to get over the fact that he has been passed over for a Ministerial appointment.
