DR BAWUMIA ,THE PROPHET, ON THE $250 MILLION NDC TOOK OUT OF THE $1BILLION EUROBOND FROM BOG AND DEPOSITED FOOLISHLY & NONSENSICALLY AT THE UNITED BANK OF AFRICA (UBA)--------READ BELOW------ Beyond the issue of legality, there is the issue of prudence in the management of Ghana’s resources. How do you go and borrow money for 10.75% (US dollar) and give it to someone to lend it to you at over 20% (GHC)? In effect you are paying over 30%! Assuming stable exchange rates, Ghana will be paying additional interest of at least $50 million a year on this transaction. It really is reckless. The government is claiming that the funds were “idle”. Really? What does that mean? Why do you borrow funds and pay interest on it if you do not have use for them at the moment? It is clear that the GIIF does not have a portfolio of projects ready to invest in and it is weird to allocate a whopping sum of $250 million to them at this time. Is the Minister aware that the country owes N-Gas some $100 million? What about other contractors who are owed money by the government? How can you owe so much, have so much to do and yet claim to have “idle” borrowed funds? The allocation of such an amount to a private bank also has major macroeconomic consequences for a relatively small economy like Ghana. It increases the deposits of the banking system and ultimately the money supply. It has inflationary and exchange rate depreciation consequences and would make it more difficult for the government to meet its inflation target. I am surprised that the government is oblivious of these consequences. The Funds should stay at the Bank of Ghana. After all the Bank of Ghana, on its own or through its external fund managers of the caliber of internationally reputable banks like UBS, JP Morgan, Citibank, Merrill Lynch etc. can undertake whatever investment of the country’s foreign exchange that the government would like it to undertake

Is there any private sector in Ghana? May be yes, may be not. The small private sector is basically engaged in buy and sell. Is that where we want to go? Idrisu should not waste our ears by telling us what we know already. He should profer solutions because that is what he is paid for.

People that positions in government without knowing why they are there for. Minister of employment is complaining of the lack of Jobs.
What is he calling himself a minister for employment.
There are lots and lot of Jobs in Ghana if only ghanaians are allowed to share equally.
We have thousands of young men and women who want you join our Police and military. WHY cant the government enrol all of them.

Let go back to history Mr. Haruna Idrissu because in 1966 when NLC overthrew Kwame Nkrumah and CPP in 200,000 people lost their employment within a week with a population of 6 million then and there was no threat to NLC military junta. Let us not parrot something just because somebody said it. When has the unemployed ever taken arms against their governments in developed countries. How many Japanese commit suicide in a day because of socioeconomic problems, thus why should a suicide by an unemployed graduate become a huge political issue in Tunisia. Let no minister light the flame of instability and get those who want to gain from it to add fuel to it.

When the government buy 500 MW of power for $2billon what do you expect? When you guys sign contracts which is not value for money what do you expect? Corruption is what is making the unemployment situation worse in Ghana. We have a nation led by thieves, parasites, leeches, scavengers and corrupt criminals and do you expect? BORROW, MANIPULATE, CREATE, LOOT, SHARE AND COVER UP is the order of the day so what do you expect? You're part of the problem.

So you don't know? Haruna and majority of their northern folks were NPP when NDC was in opposition. They chop with all fours.

OPAYIN MINISTER, HAVE YOU ASKED YOURSELF WHY THERE IS A HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN GHANA.

WHEN A COUNTRY WITH ITS SO CALLED EDUCATED WITH BIG DEGREE TITLES AND PHD TITLES DO NOT USE SCIENCE,TECHNOLOGY, INNOVATION AND CREATIVITY AND TO TURN THE WHEELS OF INDUSTRIALIZATION AND TO STIMULATE ECONOMIC GROWTH, EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES, INCOME AND BETTER THAT NATION DISINTEGRATES.

SHOULD THE PUBLIC SECTOR CONTINUE TO BE THE SOLE EMPLOYER IN THE COUNTRY.

IT IS AT THE PRIVATE SECTOR THAT A TRUE MARKET SYSTEM WORKS AND YOU ARE THEREFORE ASKED TO CALL UPON THE SO CALLED NOISY EDUCATED(IF THEY ONLY HAVE TECHNICAL-KNOW-HOW TO COME UP WITH THEIR PATENTS AND INVENTIONS AND TO ACCELERATE GROWTH AT THE PRIVATE SECTOR.

OTHERWISE,WE WILL ONLY CONTINUE TO COMPLAIN FOR THE NEXT HUNDRED YEARS AND WITHOUT HOPE FOR THE PRESENT AND THE NEXT GENERATIIONS.

LASTLY, IS IT NOT A SHAME TO SEE THE HOUSEHOLDS IN THE COUNTRY GRINDING PEPPER, TOMATOES AND ONIONS ON STONES AND USING FIREWOOD TO POWER THEIR COOKING STOVES MADE FROM MUD IN THE 21st CENTURY.

I DO NOT KNOW WHY YOU WENT INTO POLITICS-

POLITICS IS ABOUT TRANSFORMATION,REFORMATION,SOLUTION,
ECONOMIC GROWTH,CHANGES, IMPROVEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT.

IS GHANA'S POLITICS GEARED TO THESE AIMS, MISSION AND PURPOSE.

A WORD TO THE WISE IS ENOUGH.

Governments solve problems. They do not restate the problems to the people. We have known this all along. Is the minister now realizing this?

IT IS INDEED A PITY,WE ARE STILL NOT ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL ORGANISED HENCE THE MANY CHALLENGES AND DIFFICULTIES FACING THE NATION.

WHAT IS PATHETIC IS, WE DO NOT STILL HAVE A FUNTIONAL LABOUR DEPARTMENT AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATION.

ALL HAVE BEEN RUINED SINCE NATIONAL LIBERATION COUNCIL OVETHREW THE CPP GOVERNMENT, FOLLOWED BY PROGRESS PARTY,NAATIONAL REDEMTION COUNCIL, LIMANS GOVERNMENT,PNDC,NDC,NPP AND NDC.

WHY HAVE THE SO CALLED PRIMITIVE AND GREEDY POLITICIANS DESTROYED OUR LAND OF BIRTH.

THROUGHOUT THE LAST FIFTY(50)YEARS,THE VULNERABLE IN THE COUNTRY HAVE ONLY WITNESSED MANIPULATION, EMBEZZLEMENT, BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION,FRAUD, STEALING,LOOTING OF STATE FUNDS AND PROPERTIES.

HOW CAN A NATION BE RAN WITH SUCH CRUEL MOTIVES.

EVERYTHING IS BROKEN DOWN IN THE COUNTRY,GHANA AIRWAYS,GHANA RAILWAYS,POST OFFICE,VALCO,AND INDUSTRIES(TEXTILE AND MANIFACTURING)

IS BLACK MAN CAPABLE OF RULING ITSELF.

SAD AFFAIR WHICH NOTHING CAN JUSTIFY IT.
