Author:-Mahmoud...
The president has been saying that he tried to introduce electronic payment and acquisition systems into the public sector {to reduce human contact with cash} in his effort to fighting corruption, but lamented that the systems were often resisted.

This has become so monotonous that Ghanaians are beginning to wonder whether the president is actually serious and interested in fighting corruption as he claims, or it's just another crocodile's tears to deceive Ghanaians into believing that he is making an effort, while the government and its cronies amass billions of dollars at the expense of this struggling HIPC nation.
Why should Ghanaians hire a president that can't even introduce an electronic system successfully into the public sector to save us from criminals masquerading as civil servants? Mr. Mahama must be seen to be fighting corruption with all his might rather than go on lamenting helplessly like the rest of us who hired him to do the job.

AKANS MUST FEEL FREE TO SPEAK THE TRUTH WITHOUT ENTERTAINING ANY FEAR, THREAT OR ACT OF INTIMIDATION!!!!
FOR HOW LONG ARE WE TO BE WIMPS??? IT IS HIGH TIME WE STAND UP AND SPEAK THE TRUTH AND DEFEND OURSELVES BOLDLY. THIS IS EVEN A DOCTORED TAPE, IF THEY SAY IT CAME FROM OSAFO MAFO, NO APOLOGIES. IF OSAFO MAFO SAID IT, IT IS THE TRUTH INDEED. IF ANYBODY CLAIMS OSAFO MAFO TOLD A LIE, THEN WE MUST STOP TEACHING GHANA'S GEOGRAPHY IN OUR CLASSROOMS. WE ARE TIRED OF THAT STUPID TRIBAL NONSENSE. LOOK AT WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO THE COUNTRY, AT A TIME WE ARE PRODUCING CRUDE OIL. COME ON NDC, GIVE US A BREAK!!!! NDC MUST COME OUT AND PUBLISH THE NAMES OF THE MEDICAL STUDENTS GIVEN SCHOLARSHIP TO STUDY IN CUBA. WHICH POLITICAL PARTY IN GHANA CAN WIN ELECTION WITHOUT AKAN MAJORITY VOTES???? IF IT TURNED OUT TO BE 80% OF MINISTERS HAVING BEEN CHOSEN FROM TWO MINORITY TRIBES, THEN, AKANS WHO VOTE FOR NDC MUST EXAMINE THEIR HEADS. AKANS ARE NEVER TRIBALISTIC. WE ACCEPT AND HELP OTHER TRIBES WHO HAPPEN TO BE IN OUR MIDST. WE EMPLOY THEM ON OUR LANDS AND IN SOME CASES GIVE THEM FREE LANDS TO SETTLE. IF THEY HATE US AND WANT TO MARGINALISE US, THEN LET US UNITE AS AKANS AND DEFEND OURSELVES. EVERYTIME AKAN, AKAN , AKAN!! BUT AKANS VOTED NDC TO POWER.

THE CORRUPT NDC IS ONLY INTERESTED IN WINNING POWER AT ALL COST. THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN GOOD GOVERNANCE. THEREFORE THEIR FOOT SOLDIERS ARE WRECKING HAVOC ON APPOINTEES. IT IS NOT LONG WHEN A COMMON NDC FOOT SOLDIER THREATENED HE WILL ASK THE PRESIDENT TO SACK THE ASH REGIONAL MINISTER BECAUSE HE IS FAILING TO LOOT MONEY FOR THEM. TO PUSH A 1MILLION VOTE AGENDA FROM THE REGION FOR MAHAMA 2016. NOW THIS BOY HAS BECOME FOR POWERFUL THAN THE REGIONAL MINISTER. COMPETENCE DOES NOT MEAN A THING TO THEM. ONLYPROMISE OF VOTES.

THE USELESS NDC IS TURNING ONE TRIBE AGAINST ANOTHER
TURNING ONE RELIGION AGAINST ANOTHER
THERE WAS EVEN AN ATTEMPT BY ATTA MILLS TO poison football clubs with politics just for the SELFISH INTEREST of the USELESS NDC PARTY.
Everything that units us as a peaceful nation is under attack by the USELESS NDC PARTY. Before they divide Ghana and leave us in shreds VOTE THE USELESS NDC PARTY OUT IN 2016.
We have lived peacefully without any TRIBAL OR RELIGIOUS POLITICS before the USELESS NDC PARTY WAS FORMED and their manifesto signed with blood. We don't need any division in Ghana. WE ARE INTER-MARRIED, AND WE ARE ONE PEOPLE. NDC IS DANGEROUS, VOTE THEM OUT IN 2016.

MAHAMA ADMINISTRATION IS TAINTED WITH TOO MUCH CORRUPTIONS, LAWLESSNESS, ROBBERIES, INTIMIDATIONS ETC.

Due to the Ghanaian financial indiscipline it is better the IMF avoids giving the money. Or if theywill give IMF should ask the Ghana Govt of her quaterly report to the use of the loan inspected by her own assigned officials . If the Govt then agrees then the amount can be released.

"The drug barons are currently targeting Ghana making us a vulnerable nation hence we must toughen our national security at all our Airports. If Ms Ametefeh has been allegedly doing such manoeuvres since 2009 goodness knows how many of such people have used this method just because of their status in society as security around such people have been relaxed. No one can be trusted when it comes to such issues any more as our security is at stake. We should not even allow the VVIP section security to be relaxed so that unscrupulous people take advantage of such freedom afforded to them in the wake of this saga".

The first question to ask is: how did we get here? The answer can be found in the penultimate paragraph of the Ghana's last general elections in 2012, the budget deficit of 4.8% ...ballooned to 11.8% in December 2012". The Economist's analysis is correct. With elections less than 2 years away, it would be impossible to strictly adhere to the letter and the spirit of the IMF conditions. The implications are quite obvious

Whaaat? Another 3-year austerity "tighten-your- belt"-policies.
No doubt it is aimed at sounding the death-knell of John Mahama.
Adieu in advance, Mr President.
