Religious ploy on an innocent just to cancel out the name Dr. KWAME NKRUMAH from thepolitics of Ghana. Without him electricity in ghana could not have been possible to raise the name Kufour as the epitome of Ghana development in the political landscape by USA and U. K.
What Kwame Nkrumah achieved for Ghana, kufour could not come with 1/10th of it all.
Kwame Nkrumah was called all kinds of names to koteboto, and came clean on all accusations by western fabrications.
For the fact that they are banking in Panama is scandalous. What have panama in the radii to be a banking place for Ghanaian president and sons? This man was known to be broke before his presidency, cannot even buy tyres for his car. Look at his face carefully, trying to become OIL TYCOON. You do not know him, and even his timid son I know in school. Wondered how he entered six form, while bright boys like me couldn't get in, all because he was an old student his father. Papers resulting could be switched.
All they do is remove a distinction name and replaced with favorite son name. You true gades goes to someone, and you get their grades. In those days when JJ Rawlings was in power and education didn't mean a shit.
The was a classmate Acheampong very brilliant poor guy, a distinction type guy, because he was falling in first or second in class all the time. We know all these secrets in Ghana. Do not mess with me. I get all the information to cause damages.

Connected men promoting their children over the poor souls will infuence for grades to be switch while the papersheet reprinted to look clean. You true grade is with somebody, while you carry their grades. That is what the report says. I had a strong debate in this issue at education department, when someone asked me a favor to seek sixform for his boy sometime 1984. As young, I was matured in certain things, most friends of mine did not know. I could approached any office. K'mart can give you some excerpt of me, if he remembers. His name is Amoako.

The worrisome fact, here, is not necessarily how much is reported to have been stashed away abroad but the very fact that such an action was taken. This may be only one of may hidden accounts elsewhere.
Meanwhile, this is about Kufuor and family. We may yet learn about the other heads of State, too. So, this may just be the tip of the iceberg.
At least, the news confirms the fear of may patriots that our Political leaders have been milking us, or playing nepotism, or crony capitalism.
This is the nightmare every Nation would like to escape from, and not see happen in real life. Now that we know, what can we do? Nothing, Right?
We should all also understand that the Mossack Fonseca Bank began communicating its concerns over illicit deposits to its clients much earlier before this revelation, and could have alerted others to divert more of such illegally acquired wealth elsewhere.
No shrewd crooked Head of State would also deposit all his or her loot in one location. So, there could be more such amounts by the same leaders deposited in other areas.
How about in Cayman Islands, Bahamas, Switzerland, Dubai, etc? We should therefore approach this report with extreme intelligence and not dismiss all to some fabrication by someone with Opposing Political motives.
Besides, not only the Heads of State ought to be exposed. There are many subordinate Political leaders below the Heads of State who could have hidden ill-gotten wealth in such Safe Havens, too. Some could even be more than what the Presidents and Prime Ministers have stashed away in similar locations.
I bet the Hammonds and Oduros may be shitting in their pants right now, praying hard that their loots are never discovered. But we all must pray harder to the Lord for all our looted Monies to be retrieved for us.
God gives sinners a long rope to entangle themselves with. And if they fail to change before a certain brink, they eventually get stuck in their own difficult knots and entanglements until exposed.
Long Live Ghana!!!

Just like Zuma in SA, Kufuor should be ask to refund the money he used in upgrading his private house. The state had the OSU Castle so there was no need for the state to bear the cost of Kufuor's private home. This is backdoor thievery.
Once again the Panama papers reveals what we already knew - i.e. how the elites in our society shift their stolen money across the continents to tax havens.
The late Obetsebi Lamptey, Akufo Addo , Kufour and cohorts did most of their offshore money laundering in the Caribbean notably Trinidad and Tobago. We should not rest until we get to the bottom of the matter. K4 is not only corrupt he is a big thief.

Hello, $75K in Ghana is really worth more than what $165K would offer you in the USA.
It is the impact of what such a loss to the State does to its Citizens that matters more. So, do not belittle such an amount as being insignificant. Who knows whether that is only the tip of the iceberg of other monies hidden by the same culprits elsewhere? And wouldn't you say any wise crooked Head of State would divide his or her loot among various similar Safe Havens, instead of keeping it all in one location?
It is the idea that our Political leaders would be that callous to do this to us that should be more worrisome than just the amount involved.

Kufuor and family kept secret bank accounts in Panama with a "huge money of $75,000". Yes, $75,000 is too huge for Ghanaians to cry over while the ruling government gave GHC51,000,000 to a conman for no work done.

How assets are hidden and taxes dodged
A huge leak of confidential documents has revealed how the rich and powerful use tax havens to hide their wealth.
Eleven million documents were leaked from one of the world's most secretive companies, Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca.
They show how Mossack Fonseca has helped clients launder money, dodge sanctions and avoid tax.
The company says it has operated beyond reproach for 40 years and has never been charged with criminal wrong-doing.
Q&A: All you need to know about the leaked documents
Panama Papers reaction - latest
French President Francois Hollande hailed the "good revelations" which would "increase tax revenues from those who commit fraud".
The documents show 12 current or former heads of state and at least 60 people linked to current or former world leaders in the data.
They include the Icelandic Prime Minister, Sigmundur David Gunnlaugson, who had an undeclared interest linked to his wife's wealth. He has said he will not resign.
The files also reveal a suspected billion-dollar money laundering ring involving close associates of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Gerard Ryle, director of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), said the documents covered day-to-day business at Mossack Fonseca over the past 40 years.
"I think the leak will prove to be probably the biggest blow the offshore world has ever taken because of the extent of the documents," he added.
Panama Papers - tax havens of the rich and powerful exposed
Eleven million documents held by the Panama-based law firm Mossack Fonseca have been passed to German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung, which then shared them with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. BBC Panorama is among 107 media organisations - including UK newspaper the Guardian - in 76 countries which have been analysing the documents. The BBC doesn't know the identity of the source

The documents also shed light on how Mossack Fonseca offered financial services designed to help business clients hide their wealth.
One wealthy client, US millionaire and life coach Marianna Olszewski, was offered fake ownership records to hide money from the authorities. This is in direct breach of international regulations designed to stop money-laundering and tax evasion.
An email from a Mossack executive to Ms Olszewski in January 2009 explains how she could deceive the bank: "We may use a natural person who will act as the beneficial owner… and therefore his name will be disclosed to the bank. Since this is a very sensitive matter, fees are quite high."
Ms Olszewski did not respond to the BBC's questions.
In a statement, Mossack Fonseca said: "Your allegations that we provide structures supposedly designed to hide the identity of the real owners, are completely unsupported and false.
"We do not provide beneficiary services to deceive banks. It is difficult, not to say impossible, not to provide banks with the identity of final beneficiaries and the origin of funds."
The data also contain secret offshore companies linked to the families and associates of Egypt's former President, Hosni Mubarak, former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and Syria's President Bashar al-Assad.
Russian connection
Also revealed is a suspected billion-dollar money-laundering ring that was run by a Russian bank and involved close associates of President Putin.
The operation was run by Bank Rossiya, which is subject to US and EU sanctions following Russia's annexation of Crimea.
The documents reveal for the first time how the bank operates.

Media captionA huge leak of confidential documents has revealed how the rich and powerful use tax havens to hide their wealth.
Money has been channelled through offshore companies, two of which were officially owned by one of the Russian president's closest friends.
Concert cellist Sergei Roldugin has known Vladimir Putin since they were teenagers and is godfather to the president's daughter Maria.
On paper, Mr Roldugin has personally made hundreds of millions of dollars in profits from suspicious deals.
But documents from Mr Roldugin's companies state that: "The company is a corporate screen established principally to protect the identity and confidentiality of the ultimate beneficial owner of the company."
The Kremlin spokesman said it was clear the main target of the reports was Mr Putin, as well as Russia's political stability ahead of parliamentary elections.
Dmitry Peskov dismissed the investigation as insinuation and speculation, and suggested many of the team of journalists behind it were actually former US state department and CIA officials.

Iceland connection
Mossack Fonseca data also show how Icelandic Prime Minister Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson had an undeclared interest in his country's failed banks.
Leaked documents show that Mr Gunnlaugsson and his wife bought offshore company Wintris in 2007.
He did not declare an interest in the company when entering parliament in 2009. He sold his 50% of Wintris to his wife for $1 (70p), eight months later.
The offshore company was used to invest millions of dollars of inherited money, according to a document signed by Mr Gunnlaugsson's wife, Anna Sigurlaug Palsdottir, in 2015.
Mr Gunnlaugsson is facing calls for his resignation, but said on Monday that this was not something he was considering.

He apologised for his poor performance in an earlier interview, when he walked out after a question about Wintris.
The prime minister stressed that his wife had always paid taxes in Iceland.
He says he has not broken any rules and his wife did not benefit financially from his decisions.

Mossack Fonseca says offshore companies are available worldwide and are used for a variety of legitimate purposes.
"If we detect suspicious activity or misconduct, we are quick to report it to the authorities," it said. "Similarly, when authorities approach us with evidence of possible misconduct, we always co-operate fully with them."
Jennie Granger, a spokeswoman for the UK's tax authority, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), said the organisation had received "a great deal of information on offshore companies, including in Panama, from a wide range of sources, which is currently the subject of intensive investigation".
She said the ICIJ had been asked to share all its data with HMRC.

Anyone who waits on some newspaper report or some expose to know that anyone who ever became a leader in Ghana, be it military dictatorship or civilian government, has no skeletal remains in the closet deserve to never know the truth about politicians; we deserve to be bought by political parties each election cycle.
How did Rawlings, a Flt Lieutenant got to become rich in a poor country? Was it because of his air force salary or the official salary of the presidency? How many homes and property did Kufour, his wife and children own before Kufour became president? How many more assets have they amassed since Kufour became president? How about the son of Atta-Mills? Better yet how about the Mahama family? Anyone who then thinks Nana Akufo-Addo has to be clean because he has not occupied the Ghana presidency should think again. As occupant of the Ghana Attorney General’s Office and later the external Affairs office he was able to cook books and offer renovation contracts not on merit but on what look good on paper with insider information trading.
There are no moral political figures in Ghana or elsewhere. The difference is in developed nations, taxpayer money is used to develop their respective nations while politicians in Ghana could give a damn if people survived or perished just as long as the elite class get to ride around in expensive cars, live in expensive homes even if the road they have to drive to and back from the homes are filled with potholes large enough to swallow a car. This is Ghana and the last time I checked we are still in Africa; nothing worth taking home but bribery and corruption has come out of Africa since the days of the pyramids.

This is NDC's propaganda. Their top people have been circulating the link to this for sometime now including their former security capos. What is $75000? Kufuor had been in business long before he became president. Using the exchange rate of 3-8 to the dollar that is only GHS 285,000. is this the money Kufuor and his son can't acquire legitimately? Give us a break. The GHS 1.9 million being retrieved from Selassie Ibrahim dwarfs this miniscule amount.The 51 million cedis given to Woyome dwarfs this amount. We know those who are circulating this item. They are PNDC officers who caused mayhem in Ghana and are being shielded by the indemnity clause. They are people who were the "top guns" butcher in the revolution. They would be exposed.

BY their deeds ye shall know them. we called them a cocaine financing party and it is true, we called them corrupt and they have just proven it. the NPP never cease to surprise Ghanaians with their practices. this cannot be defended and Ghanaians will not vote for a government that deals in corrupt and illegal practices. the NDC have proven that they deserve our votes. this government has steady progress in the supply of water. a total of 14 million gallons of water per day has been added TO THE NATIONAL stock through completion of water projects which include the Nsawam water supply project.. this has ensured that 85 percent of rural and urban dwellers have access to portable water.

What a waste of time to create disaffection against President Kufour and Kofi Annan.
John Addo Kufour once a resident of UK, an Accountant and businessman having $75,000 in his offshore account is not worth to report. We are in London when Lordina Mahama's $1million was ceased at Heathrow Airport by UK authorities for money laundering. Has Lordina Mahama declared her business interest in Ghana or outside the country since her husband became the President of Ghana?
Again, Kofi Annan's son buying a flat in Central London for $500,000 is not a news to an average Londoner where averge flat is about $2million-$3 million. The guy is also a businessman and instead of questioning John Mahama and his ministers rushing to London to compete with Chinese and Russians in the property market we don't need to waste our precious time on these two businessmen.

Even during his time of office he increased Per Diem almost 4000% on assumption of office. No wonder Per Diem was a national secret during Kuffour’s presidency. However, if JA travelled for the Per Diem, he would have visited the Northern, Upper and other remote regions to earn Per Diem. He did not visit the hinterlands as much and I will posit that he travelled outside the country with Ashanti adowa dancers just for travelling sake and come back with empty hand. Like any Ashanti ‘bogga’, anywhere outside Ghana is better. Bermuda is preferable to Bechem, Korea to Kasoa, Ankara to Atebubu, Taiwan to Temale, Hawaii to Hwediam, Togo to Tuobodom, Fernão do Pó

If there ever was competition for a president whom so much was given and so much was expected, but who delivered so little, John Agyekum Kuffour will win hands down. JA Kuffour was more interested in his personal comfort than the needs of the people who elected him president. Kuffour was elected on the back of widespread dissatisfaction with the corruption and nepotism pervasive under Rawlings and NDC. But this clown took corruption and nepotism to a whole new apogee.

In 2001 ex President Kuffour was doing very well as president after taking office barely a year earlier. He had started criminal investigations into past NDC ministers in his much touted "causing financial loss to the state" slogan.He would eventually send them to jail.It was one good step only marred by his decision eventually to "pardon" them.He was barely 1 year in office.Is it the same period the Panama Papers claimed "he was too corrupt to be " taken care of" by The Fonseca office according to the Panama Papers? It would be a bit doubtful around that period. It is just like saying around December 1979, Jerry Rawlings and his henchmen were stealing money from state coffers while sending others to the gallows for his perceived idea of corruption. It wouldn't make sense!
That said however, I strongly believe Mr Kuffour should be called for questioning irrespective of the amount involved here if this government has enough "clean hands" to handle such cases. It is a very serious issue Mr. Kuffour as ex- President should be invited to give his take on.We seem as nation to be afraid of precedence because " as throat-cutters,we are always afraid of lying flat on the floor" , an akan adage.

And they have the nerve to point fingers at NDC
To those of you who have being brainwashed by partisan politics, this news is not local. In fact, it's international news on CNN/BBC.
Unnecessary article.Did I see it right that the money in question is $75000.00?.how many ordinary Ghanaians in Ghana do u think have this money.
What's wrong with former president having 75.000 thousand that is money market women in Ghana can count from their account.please let be really and stop disrespecting KUFFOUR and his family.
it isn't now but then please u people should think about GH before thinking about your so call masters the blood of kwadwo baah weradu is voicing out very soon all shall come to book

Love your article, but point of correction Kuffour is the WORST president that Ghana has ever had
What prevents the Kufours from keeping that money in one of the big banks in London, which is a world leader in terms of banking but rather in a small far away country like Panama.
Even during his time of office he increased Per Diem almost 4000% on assumption of office. No wonder Per Diem was a national secret during Kuffour’s presidency. However, if JA travelled for the Per Diem, he would have visit ...

Any one who banked government money will be sick to die in foreign country. In Jesus name Amen.
Anyone wearing a panama hat is also suspect.

"An official commission later found no evidence of wrongdoing."
If there ever was competition for a president whom so much was given and so much was expected, but who delivered so little, John Agyekum Kuffour will win hands down. JA Kuffour was more interested in his personal comfort than ...

So what is wrong if he has an Account with a bank? Your mother. Is Mahama not having a bank Account. Foolish. God will punish you. My question is that is the money for him or Ghana.
Unfortunately God does not punish just like that. But you can be sure He does not like those who use His name in vain.
