You were forewarned that your IMF was dealing with an ananse thieving government, but you refused to listen. Now your IMF is finally beginning to see ananse Akufo-Addo's true colours, and it isn't pretty. The Julor House galamsey government has all along been deceiving you with a rosy portrait of Ghana's economy, a comatose economy disguised as a breathing and functioning economy. So IMF, time for you to hear the cries of suffering Ghanaians and stop buying the lies and deceptions of these Julor House elephant-riding thieving liars.

So much for "we have turned the corner" nonsense. This crop of NPP empty-heads, led by the lying Economist Bawuliar are the most useless and deceptive bunch ever. Normally the Britton Wood institutions are very diplomatic and generous in the reports on economies seeking bailout. But to reveal this shocking debt position of the country in a report, at a time this clueless Akufo-Addo-Bawuliar administration is patting themselves on the shoulder for turning things around, shows the plot is lost. And is that textbook lying head of the Economic Mismanagement Team? After all we have been through; with ailing and frail pensioners having to picket, middle class being wiped out with crude and cruel haircuts, we are still debt unsustainable. What at all did we use all these borrowings for? Plus infows from Covid funds and BoG financing to the tune of over ¢80 Billion. NPP and thievery di33.. like Black Stars and heartbreaks.

NPP government has been paying $500million every year on the bogus power agreement your stupid Mahama signed, and if you understand simple mathematics, how does that amount impact our finances?

From 2017 date, Ghana had doled out $3billion in paying that debt and have any of you NDC fools asked yourself where the government get money to do that?

Your Mahama went to the IMF for a loan of $940million with the stupid excuse that "EBOLA" had caused irreparable damages to our economy, so he need that loan. After the he willfully signed a foolish agreement which is currently squeezing our intestines.

The problem of NPP is dishonesty. They tell their dumb supporters one thing, and report another on public records and Ken Ofori-Atta with Bawuliar are good at that; churning out falsehood through financial misreporting. They cook figures to spite NDC before the IMF, but do "below the line" financial reporting to hide the true levels of our public debt in their various budgets since 2017. How is it that since the IMF planted "small small boys" at the finance ministry and BoG to watch over our reporting the chicken are coming home to be roasted? And by the way, have their ignorant supporters not read Ken Ofori-Atta's response on the cost of excess capacity payments in parliament? You guys are so deceitful.

Do you know that Sentuo oil refinery is for Akufo Addo and his family, but using Chinese to front as the owners? How could a country in serious financial crisis grant this company tax exemption totalling over $200 million?.
There are questions that need to be asked about this company.
1. Why did the president in 8 years refused to revamp TOR that needed 500million to do so? He deliberately allowed TOR to collapsed
2. Why did he robberstamp parliament to grant SENTUO oil refinery a tax exemption of a wooping $200 million that could have been injected in TOR to restore it?
3. Why did they build SENTUO refinery in Tema, few meters from TOR, knowing that TOR is a strategic national asset
4. Why did Akufo Addo shamelessly at the commissioning of SENTUO oil refinery say they'll mobilize resources to revamp TOR when he's left TOR for 8 years?

I pity those useless tribal bigots still supporting these criminals. God's judgment is awaiting them.

Mahama and NDC is part of the problem going on with our finances due to that bogus power agreement he signed before leaving office. Do you understand the impact of $500million debt on our economy?

NPP has been paying that money since 2017 to date and do the calculation. We have paid at least $3billion on that agreement and I hope you understand the impact of $3billion on our finances.

You are like a dog. Do you understand the impact of the stupid power agreement Mahama signed which had saddled Ghana with a yearly debt of $500million? Since 2017, NPP government has been paying that $500million which is $3.5billion, and where did the government get the money of pay for that debt, I have no idea.

At the same time, your foolish Mahama had given Tema port to his friend for 35years, so why can't we mention Mahama's name? He is a fool who can't lead a single goat to graze and bring it back alive.

The weak brain Ken Ofori Atta has accepted very poor terms of debt treatment from the OCC bilateral countries. Infact, after IMF reviewed the terms Ken naively accepted, their analysis indicates that Ghana's external debt portfolio will have changed to 75% of all debt stocks by 2026 with these external debts increasing from 20 billion to about 29 billion USD in 2026. Do viable and visible production will result in enough taxes to pay off these debts when we resum payment in 2026. Besides, all is pointing towards government failing to meet its revenue targets in 2024 but will still spend recklessly hoping to win elections for Dr. Bawumia. All is not lost though, in the final rounds of debt treatment, Mr. Ken Ofori Atta should convey the sentiment of Ghanaians for all debtors, internal and external to be treated equally by 30% cut in interest rates on all loans. This will change the dent distress outlook of the country in the short to medium terms.
