IS ISLAM A RELIGION OF PEACE?.If Muslims have problems with traditional authorities in Tafo, why did they attack Christian churches. Mahama sees all these yet he will not condemn them. The last time, Muslims burnt down a christian Mission house in Atebubu and that one too he did not condemn it. Muslims went on demonstration in Takoradi for equal right in Christian schools and that one attracted condemnation from Mahama against Christian missionary schools. Why is it so? Is it because Mahama sees christians as too docile to be respected?

We have been in this country when the uncompleted extension of the runway of Kumasi Regional Airport has been described by the Mahama NDC gov't as an ultra modern international airport comparable to any international airport in the US, Germany, France, UK, Holland, China, Hong Kong, etc, etc. So what does the Mahama NDC gov't means by an ultra modern Kumasi central market because Ghanaians have had it with mediocre leadership and propaganda.

If this doubtful Finance Minister is not a raving loony pschopath, where in the name of God did he get his data from? Eii! Ghana! We must be careful oooohh!

I bet the Finance Minister will now proceed to surreptitiously present fake govt invoices and receipts of a ghost purchase of thousands of tons of Ivorian cocoa.

We know Seth Terkper would not lie to parliament but the cocobod bosses have been known to shave the truth. This confused message is a repeat of the load shedding lies this government regularly put out.

This is a very welcome reassurance.
We hope the Finance Minister will check his facts well before making public statements of such importance next time.

Obviously, and in their own words, the accountant Tekper who is pretending to be a financial planner, does not even know what's going on in Ghana? For all you know, a few billions have been recorded in their books as payment for imported cocoa. Another way of financing the NDC campaign.

Tekper is a stupid liar. NDC has failed cocoa farmers. In Dunkwa area, NDC people went round villages telling farmers that the government has not been able to spray their farms because Nana Addo has refused to sign the document to import the insecticide. They said whereas Mahama has signed his portion, Nana Addo has refused to sign his. The local NPP had to refute it. See WICKEDNESS. Oh NDC, why, why? What have Ghanaians done to be treated like this?

A private company did the import. Why would a company import and pay transportation and other charges if you can buy cheaper locally? Who is is deceiving who?

It doesn't make any difference. If a Ghanaian company did Import cocoa from La cote devoir, there is an indication that we didn't have sufficient amount to supply our local industries.

If market women import sugar from Brazil would they say Ghana did not import sugar because the import was done by market women?

The fact is that Ghana imported cocoa. But they can explain what happened....Ghana had more large beans which we sell at a premium. The company needed small beans so instead of giving them large beans for the price of small beans, we imported the small beans....or something to that effect.

Being truthful and communicating clearly will serve us all better than the constant B-S!!

We are not stupid.

what kind of stupid argument ios the COCOBOD trying to advance? The head of COCOBOD should be fired. He doesn't know what he is about.

By the way, what the definition of Importation? When a trader or business entity goes to Burkina Faso and buys tomatoes and brings it to Ghana, that fucking transaction is termed Importation.

It is not the case that only the state or government that can engage in Importation. Neither is it the case that what qualifies as Importation must be about the size of of a bean.

"Whether Noah swallowed the whale or the whale swallowed Noah, there was a Swallow". Irrespective of the size of the bean, there was an Importation that Ghana's foreign exchange was used to pay for.
