Mahama’s family grab more and more state properties

The New Free Press is extremely concerned that despite calls for Our President to be wary of the antics of his family members, nothing seemed to have changed in the attitude of his family members to state properties .

Mrs Lordina Mahama, bought 40 plots of government land around the trade fair site. Despite the appeals from NDC party gurus and the the chief of staff Julius Debrah and government officials who said it was in bad taste, she has refused to give up these lands and has demanded to be sold more!

The Osu Castle once a seat of government, has already been sold quietly to a Brazilian company Forintas. Checks about this company reveal that it is a holding company registered in Sao Paulo and has Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, a close aide of the President and Alhaji Baba Kamara, National Security Coordinator a special advisor to the president and Ghana’s former Ambassador to Nigeria as directors and Brazilian businesswoman Joalina Sandinho as Executive Director.

Mr Peter Mahama , the president ‘s brother ,has bought 100 plots of the Agric extension land belonging to the University of Ghana around Armanhia, a suburb of Accra. He is also driving a consortium to buy Electricity Corporation of Ghana once it is privatised by the government .This means the Mahama family will own the Electricity company of Ghana.

The Eredec Hotel in Koforidua, which is on the state divestiture list, has been sold to Ibrahim Mahama, The CEO of Engineers and Planners and brother of the President. He has also bought parts of the Achimota Forest , Boti Falls in the Eastern Region and the Aburi Botanical Gardens. He is also angling to buy the children’s park in Accra once it becomes available.

Agricultural Development bank has been earmarked to be sold to Adam Mahama .The President we learn was not happy about this but only gave in after pressure from his brothers Ibrahim Mahama and one sullley

Other state institutions targeted to be bought by the Mahama family include the Arts centre, Cedi House in Accra, Bolgatanga catering Rest house and Ghana Rubber estates limited.

The actions of the President’s closest family members, are undermining the efforts of government to fight corruption and we call for this reckless grabbing of state assets by the presidents family members to stop.

I think its only right for us to pay for the electricity we use. my only fear is if the PURC can give us fair tariffs.... it may be another ploy to enrich a privileged few. Only if the power will be stable thats cool

Mahama/NDC thinks they are smarter than WE THE PEOPLE of GHANA. What this minister means by "Ghanaians will fuel Power barge" is that they are going to charge already suffering Ghanaians with price increases! The taxpayer has been over-burdened with irresponsible taxes and continuous utility price increases.

Government is playing the strategy of making Ghanaians bear the brunt -pay the price, if you will- for politically expedient but economically untenable decisions made in the past. Could smart consumers boycott this power supply being imposed on them? Specifically, could they identify and work work together with independent solution providers to plan, design and install solar power generation capabilities into their homes, businesses and developments? Solutions that can be implemented quickly (in weeks/months rather than decades). The benefits are enormous.

The electricity is free, once the equipment has been installed.
No fluctuating power supply, since there is an automatic cutover during times of lower sunlight.
No "load shedding" situations.
No noisy, polluting generators.
No environmental impact.
Can start small and grow.
Minimal expertise to install and maintain.

The solution to Dumso obviously does not lie in the arrival of Karpower's barge(s).

Already, a business is offering the package service outlined above. Are others going to follow suit?

Yes Ghanaian electricity users will pay for the fuel in the long run. Now will users be levied before fuel will be bought to generated electricity? Pls Hon. Minister come again. You need money to pre-finance generation. This is the same issue that the other thermal plants are facing. Lets get serious and stop this bouncing around.

GOVERNMENT SHOULD ENSURE MORE PEOPLE, WHO ARE WILLING, GET PRE-PAID METERS TO HELP IMPROVE COLLECTION OF MONEY FOR ELECTRICITY USED. THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT AT ECG CONTROLLED AREAS. AREAS WHERE VRA IS IN CONTROL, PRE-PAID METERS ARE EASILY AVAILABLE AND IN USE. ECG MUST DO SAME TO HELP US FINANCE THE PAYMENT FOR ELECTRICITY GENERATED.
