SOURCE: GHANA MUST KNOW FORUM----------- ***Ladies and gentlemen of the media, with your pens and the help of a calculator, lets us all do these simple mathematics. This mathematics which can even be done by a BECE candidate who cannot write his final exams without questions leaks, and could not be done by President Mahama nor Seth Terkper as they want us to believe, will reveal to us how deliberately corrupt and financially reckless they are as far as the management of our economy is concerned. The Eurobond attracts an interest of 10.75% to be paid by the government of Ghana, $250m out of it is illegally deposited in UBA, a private bank. The bank, which is UBA in turn, decides to buy GHS 950 million of government Treasury bills at a rate of 24% (using the 1-year note); the bank would have made a hefty GHS 233 (USD 61) million profit in nominal terms just by loaning this same money to the government. Friends in the media, if this is not a 419 scam visited on unsuspecting Ghanaians by President Mahama, then what else is it? – Meanwhile, this is a President who is walking freely on the streets of London shamelessly mocking Ghanaians that he has never taken bribe, my goodness!!! Note therefore, that Government is paying 10.75% 24% which is 34.75% interest on the money he borrowed from the capital market. Government is paying 24% interest on his own money to a private firm. Is this sheer wickedness, foolishness, witchcraft or what? We cannot help, but agree with Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings when she posited few days ago and I quote, “If you borrow money at a high interest rate to lend it to another at a low interest rate then borrow your own money back from them at a high interest rate, you are either not wise, a thief or both. No wonder their campaign message of “vote for us so they don’t jail us, it’s time to save Ghana from this criminality”. For the GHANA MUST KNOW forum, we believe they are both – unwise and thieves, and more so 419 scammers

Foolishness is a character and lawlessness is a behaviour, otherwise who will give a state earth machines, freely to his brother. That means you have a foolish, lawless president who is living by the sample. It is simply true and you would know a man's character by giving him the power. To indicate his behaviour of lawlessness allow him to speak on BBC.

This president can just talk. He thinks people are not following his talks. With your recent interview with BBC you said you've fought corruption than your predecessors and you same person telling us is to stop comparing corruption and lets fight it.

Extract
After boldly declaring to the BBC in an interview that he has never accepted a bribe, President John Dramani Mahama further stated that, "unlike his predecessors who felt exposing corruption would bring down their governments, his administration is fighting the canker head-on"

There appear to be a new wave of rhetoric doing the rounds in contemporary Ghanaian politics especially within this current political dispensation. Even when the evidence is glaring, people with biased mindset still call for 'THE EVIDENCE'. Regarding the bus rebranding scenario for instance, what evidence again does Mahama and his cohorts require to prosecute Dzifa Attivor and others? It appears these NDC guys take Ghanaians for fools. When a armed robber has a loaded gun pointed at his/her victims, he/she considers himself/herself as the strongest. However when captured, they realise their weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Presently these guys are in government so they condider themselves above the law or that, they can hide behind the 'cloak of evidence' to continue perpetuating their criminalities without recourse to genuine accountability. They should remember that a time will come when they will not be in power and at that time, their naferious deeds while in office, shall be woefully exposed. They can't hide forever. Dzifa Attivor knows this hence, her infamous tribal remarks at Ketu South. Keep demanding evidence, right?

You see the double standard thing always talk about our President? He's quoted to have said his government has fought corruption than any other governments and that unlike the previous governments who shielded their officials from prosecution because they thought it will bring their government down, his government however, has not done that (shielded) but rather have allowed people talked about corruption freely. Now my question is, who was the President pointing accusing fingers at? Was he not equally doing what Ghanaians are doing even as a President? Is corruption properly fought by just talking about it freely without prosecution? What a hypocrite man we have as a President.

We all know the procurement act was put in place by the Npp to fight corruption,something that never existed in the past in that act left a window call soul sourcing,so if can address special case under certificate of emmegency.That has been so abuse under the NDC late,today it has become a door wide open for corruption,now if the president was committed as he claims he is,should've instituted measures to rather tighten the law but unfortunately as its all the corruption mentioned in the government falls under this loop hole,yet he claims he's committed.President John Mahama has never been his own man and ll never be,we need to vote them out for the development of this country Ghana.
