We voted for a government to come and give us a better Ghana only to come and disgrace us, steal, mess-up our economy, increase taxes and tarrifs, put us in darkness for 3 years, mess-up the social interventions the NPP government left for us and still want a second/third term. Useless NDC government.

AUTHOR: MR. FIGURE-OUT----------------
It is only in Ghana would such a dishonorably idiot be on the government pay roll. Professor Mill should be solely blamed for imposing those criminals on us. After Mills found Betty Moulds guilty of judgement debt payments the only thing he could do was to move her to the Education dept to continue her looting. Readers would recall that Betty Mounds was the one who awarded SCHOOL building contracts at a triple price of the existing contract sum of some GH 80,000.00. And this happened at a time when they claim inflation was in the single digits. Could you imargin how foolish these criminal liars were. Kuffour built similar structures with 80,000 at a time when inflation was around 14.8% and under Mills it was 240,000 at a rate of 8.8%. And these buffoons turn around to blame the fall of the cedi on some mysterious dwarfs. I don't blame those African countries that have been ripped apart by civil unrest because if you have such buffoons in power who always turn our local elections into a West Africa one
by contracting Togolese Trokosis, Burkinabe and Wangaras from La Cote D'ivoire to vote for them, the " Road To Kigare", is sometimes, a likely option to kick their ass from power.

CP CP CP scandal should shock you

Woyome 51m cedis is a child's play

CP payment for no work was 94m Euro.

CP presented a claim that his Anwhiankwanta project was terminated.

The project was never terminated. CP just stopped work when Kufuor came to power.

When Kufuor left he presented a claim based on termination by Kufuor admininstration.

Mills , Mahama and the entire cabinet looked on and Betty Mould approved to pay 94m Euro ---$120m --500m Cedis just like that.

They never consulted the Road authorities. They never consulted Kufuor administration.

Corrupt Goodluck Jonathan is gone.

John Mahama the super corrupt thief is next.

This man behaves like a primary school senior prefect. He always try to play the hero in attempt to repair his damaged image. He really doesn't know the reasons for he being a president. If you say you got frustrated and so ordered the jetting of cash across the ocean, it means you have no sensible working team. Mahama will run from the presidency even before defeat humiliates him.

For a whole nation to sit down an subject itself to such unpardonable ridicule simply bcos of football...a clear case of how we as a nation have all along an always misplaced our priorities...always chasing frivolous wasteful ventures...just copycatting everything we see others do without thinking through whether they are really critical to our development or not but just roping in all manner of players even political an national leadership who are supposed to be thinking for the nation end up been ensnare by these very despicable an disgusting acts of idiocy...

Lets simply sit down an observed nations which are serious going somewhere whether that is the way they pander to some of these foolish things...yet this has wasteful an criminal thievery has become legendary of our character...a country with almost 50% of our development budgetary funding coming from outside, we receive these and used these monies as if we have no heads on our torsos..why at all do we allow ourselves to be hoodwinked by such ''characterless'' figures like footballers...bcos of som useless cups we want to win....pls pls call me Dr Kofi Amoah to give it more to these pigs manning our nationals affairs....and how much is the return on investments anyway; what we spend on football as agst how much comes to the national kitty, someone tells me...

I once met an illiterate farmer who asked me this question. "Master i heard that people called Doctors, Professors, Engineers, Pharmacists, Educationists, Sports Administrators etc are learned people but why is it that they continue making mistakes for people to be talking about them everyday on the radio?" The answer I gave him was that, some of them are educated fools and some are square pegs in round holes.

Dzamefe Committee have not done a good job. When it found out that $4million and not $3 million, as had been put out by government officials and the media. Why did it not probe further to find out how the excess money was disbursed? It is now apparent that a big lie has been sold to Ghanaians. President Mahama personally authorized the release and shipment of the whole amount on a Saturday, a non working bank day. He further gave orders for the presidential jet to be used in the ferrying of the money. He should be the first to demand answers from his ministers as to what the almost $1 million dollars was used for. This alone goes to question the truthfulness of the Committee work. Perhaps, the use to which the almost $1 million was applied, could be more revealing.

Ghana has yet to learn a lesson that conducting business in strictly cash has its perils. How soon have they forgotten about what happen to the sports minister a few years ago, who had money stolen from his suitcase on a foreign trip to one of Black Stars matches. That theft did not result in a reform of the carrying cash policy. The $4 million could have been easily electronically transferred to Brazil instead being flown there.Ghana became a laughing stock all over the world because of that one silly episode.

The NDC will always lie to Ghanaians. It's so absurd! At every given instance, they'll want to scoop money from our national kitty. The kind of thievery and corruption in this NDC gov't is unprecedented in Ghana's political history, yet they're the very same people who came into power 1979-2000 executing people by firing squad and murdering innocent Ghanaians. Just look at all these conflicting gov't figures; they reported US $3 Million which was flown to Brazil but it turns out to be rather US $4 Million. Isn't it a shame? Dubious bunch of people!
