In the late 90s, When NDC was in power and sensing massive failure, NDC told Ghanaians that there is no way an Ashanti will be the president of Ghana yet J.A. Kufuor, a high breed Ashanti became the president of Ghana for 8years. Again the NDC made Ghanaians to believe that when NPP comes to power they will chase all Northerners to Togo yet again NPP was in power for 8year and no single Northerner was chased to Togo. Today, the NDC has started the unfounded lies again by saying Nana can never be president and that when NPP comes to power they will give the people of Volta Region poison and acid to drink. These are all NDC lies from the pit of hell

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT OVER 37 BILLION DOLLAR DEBT AND THE RESULT IS WHAT GHANAIANS ARE GOING THROUGH TODAY. LOOK AT OUR ELECTRICITY AND WATER TARIFFS AND DANGEROUS ZACHAEUS STEALTH TAXES "NA SIKA NO WO HE"???? MY CHILDREN ARE NOT GOING TO PAY. WE WILL VOTE YOU OUT, COLLECT OUR STOLEN MONEYS FROM NDC AND JAIL YOU ALL NO MATTER WHICH PLANET YOU COME FROM. ASIEDU NKETIA IS SCARED OF HIS DUBIOUS BUI DAM DEAL!!!!! NDC HAS ABANDONED THEIR PROBITY, TRANSPARENCY, INTEGRITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY SLOGAN. WE WILL NEVER AGREE, WE MUST CARRY IT TO THEM. OTHERS , I REPEAT, WERE KILLED BY NDC. ACHEAMPONG, AKUFO , AFRIFA AND A HOST OF OTHERS LOST THEIR LIVES. THOUSANDS LOST THEIR PROPERTIES AND BANK BALANCES. WE NEED A DEMOCRATIC HOUSE CLEANING EXERCICE IN 2017 TO BRING SANITY INTO OUR GOVERNANCE SYSTEM. WHAT IS THE NDC AFRAID OF?? IF THEY SERVED THE COUNTRY AND THEY ARE CLEAN???? WHEN DZIFA WENT TO EWELAND, SHE DID NOT TELL THEM WHAT SHE HAS ACHIEVED FOR GHANA AS A TRANSPORT MINISTER BUT ASKED THEM TO PROTECT HER BECAUSE SHE HAS CAUSED FINANCIAL LOSS TO THE STATE. WHAT AN INSULT TO THE INTELLIGENCE OF THE PEOPLE OF VOLTA REGION? ??????

UBA is owned by the Federal Government of Nigeria and so if Tekper wishes to invest Ghana Government's money why did he choose UBA over GCB, ADB or NIB which are Ghana Government owned.
Is Tekper patriotic at all? Indeed, we have vagabonds in power. Mahama and the NDC are ready to sell Ghana to foreigners for their own gain. UBA was born out of patriotism. UBA used to be a British owned bank but the Federal Government of Nigeria nationalised it to become a fully owned bank of Nigeria because of patriotism. Tekper should have also been driven by patriotism to hand this juicy investment to Ghana Government owned banks, especially,when the motive is to invest in a Ghana Government treasury bills. In legal form, UBA is registered in Ghana but the substance of the Matter is that any profit made will be repatriated to Nigeria with lightening speed and Ghana will be back to square one notwithstanding the inflationary and exchange rate implications that will follow suit.
May God help mother Ghana.

According to our statutes, the money in foreign exchange SHOULD be in the custody of the BANK OF GHANA, and that's where the money should have stayed according to our law, until you prove to me that there's a counter law to do otherwise, you are NOT making sense.

The one thing you have to understand is that, there are good a REASON WHY behind every law: This one was meant to PROTECT the money from being misused by any public official.

The government did not borrow the money to TRADE with it, but for projects, so taking it from where it sits to lend it to a third party (UBA), and that party in turn lending it back to the original owner (GHANA GOVT)in a form of Treasury Bill is tantamount to ROBBING, the govt by lending it her own money, like it or not. To put it in simple form, it's like someone borrowing your own money and turning around lending it to you. How does that sound like you have to DEFEND this, Abu Boah?

Let's STOP following parties like we do to Abusua or clan. Let's start to put the INTEREST of our country first, and stop supporting parties we belong to even when they are CLEARLY wrong and most cases CORRUPT.

People blame the government in power because they make so many promises they themselves know they cannot fulfill to the people especially during campaign time.
Also people see how the lifestyle of government changes the moment they are appointed to office. Our governments supervise corruption and pretends to be fighting it. Have you seen how some of these appointees own so much property and send their children to Universities in the Western World?

In develop nations, the government have made room for the citizens to help it in building the nation.
Tell me one thing NDC has done to the citizens apart from individuals who are taking all the opportunities for them and their families. At list when NPP came to power the citizens were made to feel that there is life in them.
Abu Dhabi tell me how many Gas station and guest houses has ministers of the current government has? This doe not mean that NPP was clean either. They were stealing but the citizens felt that there was chance for them to make life better.
I was in my hometown recently and saw a building very beautiful when i ask who owns it i was told it was for Kwabena Duffuor the past Finance minister. I was shocked to my bones.
My point here is that politician and military rulers are all corrupt in Ghana. Rawlings who most think is a saint is not out the the corruption and so is Mr. John Kofi Agyekum Kufuor.

You need to stop assuming Ghanaians are FOOLS so will stick indefinitely with ANY constitutional government even if it's corrupted to the core. I will refer you to the simple message carried by our NATIONAL ANTHEM concerning "freedom and justice" and "resisting oppressor's rule". Be REMINDED that these are applicable notwithstanding CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY or not, unless you erroneously assume that ALL democracies should be deemed to be NOT corrupt and therefore justifiable.

If John Mahama is not corrupt and did not benefit from the twin thievery scandals of Brazilgate and Smarttygate, he should cause the stealing gang commissioned in his govt to loot the Ghanaian taxpayer to be prosecuted by the AG.
Batidam should walk into any High Court around the country today, somebody is being sent to jail for stealing a tuber of yam or a fowl.
We are insisting if John Dramani Mahama is not corrupt and has not benefited from the numerous stealing expeditions commissioned in his govt, which earned him the very unenviable and reckless position on the corruption index as the 2nd most corrupt and one of the worst in Africa, he should cause the AG to prosecute and jail his gang of thieves and looters.
I can say without any qualms at all the world will witness snowflakes in Hell, than expect to see John Mahama lead in the prosecution of his gang of looters in this country as has been expressed rather clearly and succinctly by Daniel Batidam, because should he dare, like somebody said, he will runaway from this country.
He must have his handing over notes ready and complete by now as it is the expectation of Ghanaians.

Corruption comes in so many forms. The word "spiv" sums it all. In other sense petty thief. If I can remember, we used to call it "kalabule". In USA, they elite it lobby or middlemanship. We all do it, when giving opportunity. Even, some legitimate career or businesses practice corruption in legal frame. However, biblically, they are in corruption. Especially sales or marketing careers, where you come between two financial transactions to make a cut or commission. If the bargainer is ignorant or foolish, you squeeze advantage. For instance vehicle sales, houses or real estate negotiation.
Which means corruption can be categorised into classes to defraud of cheat to gain to oneself. It is all over the globe.
The worse of it is when the loot is deposit into foreign banks, it hurt the origin nation much more. If the loot is still in the origin country, atleast, it circulate in the country to better individual to the general public.

It is because the president himself has a lot of skeletons in his cupboard that others in his party know about so how can he possibly fight corruption? Everybody knows corruption when they see or smell it. Prosecuting those culpable by their actions or inactions can only be led by someone with *clean* hands. I'm afraid such cannot be said of this current president!

The honorable presidential advisor is correct. It is not the job of the president to be judge and jury. The job of prosecuting suspects of corruption is the responsibility of the judiciary. The wheels of justice can be slow. Most of comments of this platform lack merit. You can accuse anyone of corruption but with no evidence mere accusations will fall flat in a court of law.

So Ghanaian cannot see and note that the entire world even the developed countries have been in recession for some years now and Ghana is NOT immune to it, therefore President mahamah and his team have been working fervently hard to keep ghana into an infrastructure development mode but most ghana are complaining toooo much. Lets Ghanaian know that America. Uk. Germany. France was not build in a day. It took them many many years with struggle and sometimes unemployment of youth before getting to the stage/state that they are now and many ghananese are trooping there for greener pasture. As said blackman always want their govt to put fiscal cash into their pocket before they know that the govt is doing well. Instead of considering that before ghana can move foward its needs foreign investment and without the massive infrastrature development like. Good roads. Super security network by its police and Army and other apparatus. Which. Is taking place by the current govt no foreigner will come to leave their hard earn foreign exchange for some lazy ghanaian to trade with whilst they are at work eating hea e fufu and bantu with ted soup during lunch time and the go back to the ofgi e or job place to doze without no meaningful accounts ility of their days work by the workers and not even feelibg guilty of their actions. Ghananese people grow up and stop complaining FOR whatever government is doing.
