Ghana epitomises much of the best of Africa, but also throws into relief the tragedy of the continent. It has maintained its higher education and has fewer extremes of wealth than elsewhere. But at independence in 1957, Ghana was richer than Argentina, Brazil, Malaysia or Singapore. Today, those countries are at least ten times as wealthy.

When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwesi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwesi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwesi Pratt can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Pratt and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratt's recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Pratt has the guts to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

Bagbin is a thief himself. He is just pulling the wool over your eyes.

Have you ever heard of the proverb 'Justice and avarice never dwell in the same house'?...Clean and upright people don't live with thieves. Thieves live with thieves and that's why Bagbin is still with NDC, which is a party filled with thieves. Bagbin is a thief unlike Amidu who is a straight shooter.

So what makes you think AMIDU will work with a crook like BAGBIN?

BAGBIN is one of the biggest hypocrites in the history of the world just like JJ Rawlings.

The two of them behave like they are on the side of the ordinary Ghanaian but are in actual fact, two of the most notorious crooks and scammers ever to be unleashed unto poor Mother Ghana.

So take off the damn wool covering your eyes and see the real truth.

Better still, why don't you use the brain that God gave you for free to 'see' through the façade these good-for-nothing crooks and scammers put up?

Ghana is full of fools... no wonder they get taken for a ride so easily.

Yes they are wealthy because unpatriotic politicians like Busia and J.B.Danquah resorted to acts which destabilized the country and intandem with the CIA followed it up with a coup which drove away investors willing to invest in the economic development of the country.Even Ivory Coast was able to develop faster than Ghana even though it was a one party state because of political stability . There were no Danquahs and Busias there to undermine the economic progress and stability of the Ivory Coast.No Ivorian was going to foreign countries advising them not to give financial assistance to develop Ivory Coast but in Ghana Busia was going round doing just that.Was Busia a leftist?

WE NEED SENSIBLE, HONEST AND EXPERIENCE PEOPLE TO LEAD GHANA. VOTE THE USELESS NDC PARTY OUT IN 2016. MAHAMA DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING. HE IS ONLY CELEBRATING THE POSITION HE HAS. VOTE HIM OUT IN 2016.

WE HAVE NO SNOW TO DEAL WITH. NO BITTER COLD TEMPERATURE TO DEAL WITH. People who have these 80% of the year have developed their countries and made life comfortable for themselves.
WE HAVE GOLD, DIAMOND, OIL, GOOD LAND FOR FARMING, WE ARE NOT LANDLOCKED AND WE HAVE TIMBER. We however have THIEVES IN POLITICS and 90% LAZY AND FOOLISH CITIZENS; so with all the good things we have been blessed with that can make life comfortable, WE ARE POOR. IT IS DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND. Every foolish person who goes into politics thinks even without any tangible contribution to the development of Ghana, deserve FREE CAR, FREE PETROL, POLICE ESCORT, FREE ACCOMMODATION, LOTS OF CASH REWARDS, A HOUSE BOY AND ANOTHER HUGE SUM OF MONEY AFTER THEIR TERM IN OFFICE FOR MAKING GHANAIANS EVEN POORER.

ARE WE NOT FOOLISH?

If you are not sure of the answer, look at the EUROPEANS AND NORTH AMERICANS. They don't have the FAVOURABLE WEATHER WE HAVE ALL YEAR ROUND, BUT THEY HAVE DEVELOPED THEIR COUNTRIES. So in conclusion, WE ARE VERY FOOLISH. IN FACT, VERY, VERY FOOLISH AND LAZY

Mr Majority Leader you said it all but tell the gov't of which you are part to be up and coming. We must start from somewhere by making those in authority to be accountable. What i find it most disturbing is that the punishment meted these individuals found causing loses to State are rather meant to pay the monies back to the State without any sanctions or jail terms so the re occurrence. So these people think if they steal and are caught they will be asked to pay back if not then they have to continue stealing from the State. Am really sad that NDC who was years back championing PROBITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY as it core principle are the ones championing corruptions and all others following. Free corruptions for all.

Shifting blame is the easier way out,Mr Bagbin.Parliamentary role should not end after scrutinizing the thievery that's rampant and goes unpunished.Parliament should be in the position to demand action from the Attorney General's office.
So the begging question that needs to be asked is;WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS TO OUR VARIOUS INSTITUTIONS? IS IT PARLIAMENT OR THE EXECUTIVE.IF IT'S THE LATTER THEN IT'S NO WONDER THE STEALING GOES UNPUNISHED.SOLUTION...IF PARLIAMENT APPROPRIATES FUNDS THEN THEIR RESPONSIBILITY SHOULD EXTEND BEYOND JUST SCRUTINIZING THESE MALFEASANCE.THEY SHOULD USE THAT POWER TO MAKE THE AG DO HIS JOB BY BRINGING THE LOOTERS TO BOOK, PERIOD!!!!

I have never in my experiences and travels come across anybody who plays both sides of the same coin like this Bagbin guy and the fake revolutionary JJ Rawlings.

These two imposters preach virtue but practice the most gruesome vice ever known to man.

Bagbin is always mouthing off about thievery and corruption in the country but anytime someone else musters the courage to call the group mostly involved in these vices up to it, he refers to that person as "possessed by the devil" . He did it to Mr. Greenstreet and recently did it again to the Sekondi MP when the MP had the balls to oppose the passing of the GYEEDA bill. He does it because he is in thick of things with all the thieves masquerading as politicians and leaders of our nation. He is a high class thief himself.

As for Rawlings, the least I talk about him, the better. THE MOTHER OF ALL THIEVES!!!

See below my comment on BAGBIN'S antics in parliament recently:

Comment to:
Holy ghost, devil clash in Parliament

"The Majority Leader, Alban Bagbin, said that Papa Owusu-Ankomah had been possessed by the devil that was why he was speaking like that, but the MP for Sekondi retorted, saying that he had rather been possessed by the Holy Spirit to speak passionately about better governance and how to protect the public purse."

Does this fool BAGBIN actually have any other tact in handling people who speak their minds truthfully about the waywardness and the irresponsible ways the NDC government and parliament have handled the affairs of the nation other than the individual being "possessed by the devil"?

Is this the only way he can express his frustrations or the guy is plain dumb?
The "YENNTIE OBIAA" mantra of NDC is in full display anywhere this BAGBIN clown encounters any opposition to his ideas or those of his masters.

He said the same thing to the general secretary of CPP when THE GENERAL SECRETARY openly challenged them and told them that the NDC "better Ghana" agenda was NOT working.

What a classless fellow this BAGBIN person is turning out to be.'

Hon Bagbin has been in parliament since the inception of this fourth republic, making him one of the oldest serving MP 6 times in parliament. Is he only now realizing that people are going unpunished for indiscriminately stealing from the government coffers? And flaunting their ill gotten wealth in our faces without shame, and therefore creating role models who affect our youth negatively.

Today in Ghana it does not matter how you acquire wealth, overnight you see people with nothing having it all. And our youth are watching and learning. People in positions with authority abuse and insult with impunity. And our youth are watching.

But I must say I agree with the honourable even though late his voice on this corruption issue is very welcome, but please go at it with passion and honesty as has been done by the Hon Amidu.

Alban Bagbin masterminded the sacking of doctors in Effia Nkwanta Regional Hospital because they complaint and reported unbridled corruption killing patients in that hospital.One of such cases was a bribery of 50 Ghana cedis a patient could not pay for blood transfusion that killed her widely captured in both traditional and social media.The doctors were fraudulently implicated with a mental illness and sacked to cover reported rot in that hospital Alban Bagbin then Minister of health was privy to.Letters before and after their sacking were copied to Alban Bagbin as Minister of Health.What is even more significant was that a presidential decree requiring inquiry into reported corruption in Effia Nkwanta was defied.The doctors suffered persistent frustration and abuse at the Fast Track High Court with their case gagged up in favor of Ghana Health Service.They were series of attempts on their lives forcing them to write to the police for an inquiry into their case.The powerful unforeseen hand obviously involved was Alban Bagbin all in a desperate attempt to cover corruption he presided over as then Health Minister.Alban Bagbin is one of the most corrupt,callous and vindictive politician in Ghana.A number of youth largely from upper west region he perceived as a threat to his powers and interest have suffered similar summary dismissals from work and unexplained deaths.Sometimes some of us are shell shocked to here this cunning character talk about corruption why because he is the father of criminal politics and corruption.He has been a contagious virus causing massive devastation in the upper west region.A man like Alban Bagbin fabulously rich through the same medium of corruption in political practice has no moral right to criticize same.That is why he is ready to destroy and kill to maintain a seat in parliament he has been occupying since 1992.This morbidly jealous man will only appreciate how he is despised and hated particularly by the majority youth he has victimized and destroyed with some losing their lives in the process when he is out of the political limelight.We happy to hear a true Cadre and role model like Martin Amidu talk about the subject of corruption but not this irritant nuisance always out to score cheap political points to further his parochial quest.

Tell the president in his face because you know very well he is extremely corrupt than any Ghanain or resign to demonstrate that indeed you are not like them.
I hate to hear this mr. Bagbin, for how long have you not been in government, parliamentarian since 1992 or 1996 or so, are you suggesting that you are the only knowledgeable person in your constituency? why are you not giving others the opportunity to also exhibit what they have? a good teacher can only ensure that he teaches well such that his students will become better, have you been able to this? but for the fact that greediness has taking the better part of you and your colleagues in the NDC I don't think most of you deserve to be in parliament now.
Nana Addo, J.H Mensah, Yaw Osafo Marfo and others have chosen to step aside for others to come in. Not long ago, Kennedy Agyepong has also come out to declare that he is not going to contest for the seat anymore though his people wants him, can the same be said of NDC parliamentarians? certainly no. The NDC is the only party that has most of its parliamentarians in parliament since 1992 and 1996, why cant you voluntarily retire and do your own thing and stop seeking for re election every four years if indeed you have what it takes to survive in this mess of economy you have created.
How come you have not been able to address this problem. you have been a minister under so many ministries and yet the problem persist and even aggravating.what has stopped you from doing what you think is the best for this miserable nation that you and your NDC government have plunged us in. in spite of this shame and evil doing, you continue to serve and most painfully vote in parliament to appoint ministers who have been groomed by the president to execute his agenda of stealing every pesewa and coin of this miserable nation. Worse of it all you vote in parliament like mentally handicapped men to approve of loans that will only end up in the hands of the president and his corrupt people.
If you don't know i am telling you for a fact that there is no fish that gets rot from the bottom, surely it starts from the head, and so long as the president is corrupt his subjects will not be angels.
You are not different from those that you are pointing your fingers at.
Be truthful to yourself, your constituency does not merit a status of a constituency for a simple fact that the population is too little and does not deserve it at all.If you say its based on the land size that gave you that opportunity. The question I am asking you is, is governance about humans or sheer land size with animals and trees?
In Australia there are countless number of islands some as big as a nation and are only occupied by animals and trees, do people represents these uninhabited islands and formulate policies for the tress or what? surely no. If you claim to be honest and just like you want us to believe, then the only good advice to you is to ask the electoral commission to add up your constituency to the nearest constituency whose population can't be compared to even one of its kind in Accra Or Kumasi and save the public purse from waste.

We are tired of them.

WHAT BAGBIN SAID IS A FACT. THE GOVT. AND THE AND THE AGD SHOULD BE HELD FOR THE THEIVERY IN THE COUNTRY. TAS HE SAID, THE GOVT. AND THE AGD IS NOT READY TO PUNISH CUNPRITS. GOVT. IS THE WORSE TO BLAIM B/COS IT DOES NOT FOLLOW THRU WHAR IT SAYS. JUST PLAYING GAMES. GHANA IS COUNTRY FULL OF STUPID AND FOOLISH PEOPLE. THEY NEED TO TELL GOVT. IT SHOULD PROSECUTE ALL WHO THE ARE SIAD TO MISAPPROPRIATED GOVT. GO ON DEMO AND FORCE THE GOVT. TO DO WHAT IT IS SUPPOSE TO DO. BUT NOT TOSIT DOWN AND LOOK ON LIKE STUPID SHEEP.

Unpunished thievery will cripple economy – Bagbin
