GHANA HAS BEEN RAPED BY NDC IDIOTS. WE DO NOT NEED ANY NATIONAL ECONOMIC FORUM, WE NEED A NATIONAL COURT OF JURISDICTION TO PUT MAHAMA AND HIS CABINET ON TRIAL. GHANA'S HOPELESS ECONOMIC SITUATION, TODAY, IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. NDC HAS OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS PRESIDED OVER THE BIGGEST RESOURCES IN OUR HISTORY INCLUDING CRUDE OIL & STEALTH TAXES. THEY HAVE ALSO CONTRACTED THE BIGGEST LOANS IN OUR HISTORY. IF THEY HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR THIS AND THE ECONOMY IS IN SHAMBLES, THEN,THEY MUST BE PROSECUTED. THEY MUST GIVE THE MONEYS BACK TO THE TREASURY. WE DO NOT NEED ANY ECONOMIC FORUM. SET UP A COURT IMMEDIATELY. IT HAPPENED IN THAILAND RECENTLY, PRIME MINISTER YINGLUCK SHINAWATRA WAS REMOVED BY THE CONSTITUTIONAL COURT FOR ABUSING POWER. LOOK AT GHANA;-- EMBRAER PLANE SCANDAL, STX KOREA,NDC US$20 MILLION PARTY HQ., US$4 MILLION DODGY JUDGEMENT DEBT TO MRS RAWLINGS AND HER COMPANY, SUBAH, GYEEDA, WOYOMI, ISOFOTON, WATERVILLE, AFRICA AUTOMOBILE, CP, SADA, FORTIZ/MERCHANT BANK,FREE EXPENSIVE CARS FOR CHIEFS, AKONFEM AND A HOST OF OTHER DODGY JUDGEMENT DEBT PAYMENTS. BUYING VOTES WITH CASH, LAND CRUISERS & LAPTOPS JUST TO WIN ELECTIONS. WHY NDC?????? WHY??? OUR SUPREME COURT COULD NOT HELP BUT DESCRIBED IT AS "ALLIANCE TO CREATE, LOOT AND SHARE" WHAT A SHAME? ?? AND YOU CALLING GHANAIANS TO A WASTEFUL ECONOMIC FORUM. NDC, THE MONEY IS WITH YOU, GIVE IT BACK TO GHANA. NPP, I SALUTE YOUR COURAGE FOR NOT ATTENDING. NPP REMAIN SMART AND VIGILANT!!!!!

Not surprise it means all the windfall from the reduction of crude oil price on the world mkt will end up in some few people's pocket and Ghanaians will be losers.That's how NDC & Mahama understand economics.

Please let Ghanaians know exactly what the NPP did relative, to the sickening spectacle unfolding before our eyes, under the leadership of Awuah Darko at BOST. This gentleman was the Ndc parliamentary candidate at Ayawaso Wuogon in the 2012 elections. A sweeping statement by Ndc apologists with the view to equalize, is what is hurting in this country. The allegations are very serious and will have to be investigated by a Parliamentary Commission, so as to put decent minds at ease. Is this theft the reason, we in Ghana are still paying so much for petroleum products, even when world oil crude price has dropped from $104.00 to $56.00 per barrel, in the last eight months?

I wonder why the employees and all the people around who could see this rape going on kept quiet until now. What were they doing? Blindfolded?
What is the reason for this, poor Ghanaian workers? You sit down for the rape to go so far before waking up? Is it chicken-heartedness, is it stupidity, is it immaturity, is it a sign of poor education, is it cultural, is it...?
So many similar things are going on in many departments in the country that will be reported only when the rape has reached its fullness. Poor Ghana. A country where every CEO or MD is a wolf; where every public official is hell bent to do damage because the seed of corruption has been sown by those who claimed to be uprooting it or are claiming to be doing so.
Oh wickedness, were you sown only on Ghana soil?

Baseless animosity and classic hypocrisy .Tell me if there is any difference between NDC and NPP.Is NPP not even worse ? What are you talking about ? Electing a poorman as president is not good ? What a conotation.so the rich doesn't steal.we are in serious trouble and hate mongers like you on both sides NPP/NDC won't help our cause. It makes me sick to hear Ameto kwame and co daily on the radio defending bad policies : fuel prices have fallen all over the world but it will not reflect on the Ghanian market.Someone will defend this while Nana Akomea and co keep on spewing the spider- web lies that almost pushed us into a civil war. He keeps on lying that the cedi is the worst currency in the world.Put Ghana down until we come to power.Does he know that the dollar exchange for the Iraquien currency is 1692 to $ 1.oo ? That is what a war or political instability can cause a nation .Unfortunatly it seems that is what some people are praying to befall Ghana .

It is at this point that stupid and pilfering Ghanaians run to TB Joshua for prayers so they can walk away with the loot and in the process, dole some of the stolen wealth to TB Joshua.

Really Stupid! Ask for a pay rise or steal and then give it to dubious pastors on sunday in exchange for vapourware promise of salvation.

shocked to find out even intelligent well respected Ghanaians are falling for the con artists called pastors.

when your time comes, nothing can stop you from going. not even TB Joshua can stop his own departure when the right time comes. and quit thinking that another of God's creation has the power to terminate your life because of jealousy and all.

Ask yourself, if humans really have the power to take another person's life, why can they not use that power to enrich themselves but instead wait for somebody else to work hard and succeed only for them to then come along and try to kill them out of jealousy?

The con trick is, the pastor has to create fear in you to make you want to part with your money. It is all a con. Don't work hard and give it away to a pastor. It will be used for jet fuel. If you must give something away, give it towards good causes.

They are a lot of sick people in our hospitals searching for financial help.

And when you want to be thankful to God for helping you steal from the state, donate to hospitals or better still return the stolen money to where you stole it from.

I have been following the Media report on the Current Media Spectacle between the BDCs and alleged collusion with Senior BOST officials over the period in ripping apart the resources of this Country. As I listened to the Audio where BDC reps, Transporters etc admit bribing their way I felt sad.
There are criminals within BOST and the entire downstream sector of the oil and gas industry and these are not new to industry players . The admission of BDC reps to having to condone corruption and admitted to paying bribes to get their way through is most unfortunate. If you are doing business and there are some corrupt officials at the Depot be it APD, Kumasi or wherever, do you accept to pay bribes to them to get your business transacted when you could report them to the Police or the CID? Admission by BDCs of having to motivate BOST Staff by paying cash illegally to do their business is at best disingenuous and ought to be condemned by all vigilant and forward thinking citizens.
There are Fundamental Questions To Be Answered:
(1). Was the Audio that of Senyo Hosi? Yes, because he admitted to having granted that Interview
(2).Has there been Systemic Collusion between BDCs and BOST senior staff to deliberately dupe the BOST system?
(3).Did the BDCs write to BOST for Product Losses? If yes, how reconcilable is it to the argument that, BOST didn't have a Strategic Petroleum Reserve and for that matter, there is no way the BDCs would have owed BOST?
(4) Did the E&Y report state that, in their reconciliation, the BDCs were rather owing BOST, has any of the named BDCs denied it?
(5)Does the BDCs sometimes create artificial shortages in the Country for the ordinary Ghanaian to suffer while they Claim So-Called Forex and Product Losses? While they may/can collect Product Losses, I still don't understand why Government has to pay Private Business Men for not hedging their FX. If you cant manage your Fx as a business entity, why should the Government pay you?
(6) Does the BDC claim government is owing them for $550million for Forex Losses?? Is this amount not more than the Money we received from the Millennium Challenge Account? Can they explain why Government should be paying them such hefty amounts of money.
(7)Will deregulation of Pricing Solve the issue?
(8) Does the BDCs have enough storage facilities? What benefits do they get when BOST is inefficient?
(9) If the BDCs have that much Credibility, why have they reduced the importation of Petroleum Products? Why do they rely on LCs and BGs instead of having an Open Credit Line? Are there BDCs currently depending on BOST imported products for distribution?
(10). Has BOST improved over the past years? When there was apparent shortage of Petroleum Products in September last year(2014), who Stepped in and Imported seven(7) Cargoes to salvage the situation?

It is important our media(Journalist) do research and Investigation into the the downstream petroleum sector to unearth the perceived massive and apparent bribery and corruption that is crippling our country. A critical Media must not just report headlines and stories but dig into the facts presented. Anybody can just gather figures and run to the Press in the name of presenting Watertight Evidence which are not as representative on the ground.

Lets be truthful and honest with ourselves and help the CEO Kwame Awuah-Darko ) of BOST to expose these guys. We have made ourselves hypocrites and the thieves are having their way. I would like CBOD , Management of BOST, the Petroleum ministry and the NPA to work together to flush out these criminals. The BDCs will have come again, you dont fight corruption by paying bribes when asked you say you had no option. There was and there is an option, report to the police, the CID

We all know that because of collusion amongst people, uprooting corruption in society has always been impossible.

Neither Man nor Government can fight corruption successfully, especially in Ghana.

The only TRUE way to do so therefore is to resort to the SPIRITUAL means .

All we need to do is to start fighting corruption from the top and it will transcend to everyone in the country within a few months.

How do we accomplish this?

Whenever we swear in Politicians, Board Members and Senior Management of Parastatals, or any High Level Government Officials in the Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs), we should make sure as part of the oath of allegiance they SWEAR will include (1) a BLESSING to these individuals and their families if they perform genuinely and diligently as if to quote Mr. Mahama, "such institutions are for their fathers".

(2) We also need to insert a section within the same oath of allegiance on CURSING these same people and their families, and even from generation to generation if they ever amass wealth through corruption during the period they render their public service.

What Government can therefore do is to modify those oaths of allegiances slightly to reflect these proposals and I can assure you that, Ghana will surpass even Singapore in its development within months and not years.

Mahama has no excuse that he cannot be at the same place at the same time fighting corruption but what does he do about it when it is reported to him. This is a typical example, what is he going to do? He should not hide under excuses but he should act. The truth is that he is incompetent. But time will tell.

I don't think this is an issue of incompetence alone. Even though I believe incompetence is part of the problem. I am inclined to believe that this systemic stealing and corruption with the gov't seemingly looking on unconcerned is deliberate. I think it's the NDC's way of stacking up money for the future because they know their doom is near.

Our dear ghana has made a lot of mistakes when she was born in 1957. She has made that same mistake by drawing a 1992 constitution whereby every power is in the president to appoint everybody to every institution. I think every president needs to be allowed to focus on the people of ghana rather than thinking of people lobbying for positions. Those lobbying are the ones who would eventually cause the president's downfall because they only care for their pockets.

I have worked closely with bost as a representative of a bost transporter and an OMC. It hurts me so much that Ghanaians will scare decent men like the MD of BOST when it comes to taking up public sector positions. I am not a politician, i can tell you that as a private business man and speaking for a number of my colleagues who may not have this opportunity, i want all to know that kwame awuah darkp has sanitized the work the various depot. Minor BDCs are not discriminated against, there is tranaparency, no more shortage of petroleum products. He has stopped extortions at the depots with the installation of sophisticated cctv cameras. The orderliness with which we transact our business is worth commending. I feel some people have vested interest in booting the man out so that they can continue their nefarious activities. Lets all support him to clean the mess at bost

Mr Kwame Awuah Darko is the type of man to lead Ghana. The criminals in BOST and the BDCs are having sleepless nights. This man has turned the fortunes of bost around. A company that made losses in the past made close to 9 million ghana cedis in profit for 2014. Why are the BDCs fighting him, they are doing so because they have no opportunity to cause artificial shortages, they can't dupe the state any longer. Mr Kwame Awuah Darko commissioned E and Y to investigate their activities and today they have bought people at bost to tarnish his image. Go on Kwame. You have our support.
