How is this hypocrisy? Money that can be used to save women in labour in our hospitals are being used for a total wastage. When ever did Ghana win anything from these games ever ? We waste our resources on games we arent so .such prepared for . Even the athletes wouldn't be paid properly even when they win their various disciplines. Officials will steal all the money .

Toto, who doesn't know Ablakea, the fork-like teeth man and his lies?.
Did he not come out to say the government had taken a certain amount of money for the just ended AFCON, whilst he knew that it was an amount budgeted for the tournament and not the amount spent.

If you care to know Ghana's total debt is $51 billion as we speak today and put of this amount, his John Dead goat Mahama (JDM) government alone borrowed $29 billion in his four years of governance, why is he not talking about that?

As at 2008 when Kuffuor was handing over our total debt was $10 billion; that's the total debt from Nkrumah to Kuffuor.
In 2012, when Mills died it had risen to $14 billion, meaning mills added $4 billion in four years.
In 2016 the debt stood at $43 billion, indicating that JDM had added $29 billion in four years
And today our debt is $51 billion, that's Akuffo-Addo has added $8 billion in 8 years.

So every Ghanaian must think through and see what each man added and compare to the level of development he gave to the country.

Why is Ablakea not coming out with that as a good debate for us?

$29 billion out of $51 billion is 58% of our total debit.
So Mahama alone gave us 58% of our total debt in four years, but was he able to give the country even 10% of the development we have today?

How is your Mahama going explain to Ghanaians as to how he blew a $35 million loan he secured from India to renovate the Komenda Sugar Factory that has never produced one bag of sugar? Just think about how far that amount could’ve gone to buy furniture for those schools in the Northern Regions whose school children are sitting on stones to study? Akromfour NDC party

Kwasia! Aboa dwan! How did he blow the money when he in fact built the factory? Gyimini! Your stupid party came to power and decided to watch the factory deteriorate so they can sell it for a pittance. They also refused to pursue the second aspect of the facility which was to cater for the raw materials. Are you so daft not to know these? Such dirty and evil group of people you and your NPP are. You muddy the water upstream and come downstream to complain about the colour of the water.

What evidence are you talking about? O probably you didnt read the story, because these figures are documented figures and you asking for evidence. I m very certain a lot of people in govt are very much aware of this because they all have these docs but they will never make it public to expose the stealing in the govt in the same Ablakwa was not doing same during NDC regime and i know that if NDC comes to power he will go quiet, but on the flip side somebody from NPP who is now quiet will do same to NDC.
So please these figures are not conjured from anywhere but rather documented figure but whether to believe it or not is your choice and these politicians knowing how we defend our political turf will continue to milk the nation in any shape or form.

At the time his money was stolen, they were paid 8,000+ Cedis monthly they hardly touched since they had other benefits and emoluments. How many months would he take to have monies adding to those 20,000?

Where is the 500 students who got pregnant because of FSHS? Where can we locate the town kyebi Bunsu, that you said Nana has moved the krobo odumase university hostel from Donkor Krom to Kyebi Bunsu? You did not work before entering politics, you own a lot of filing stations, you own a house at airport hills, can you explain to Ghanaians how you acquired these properties? You did turned yourself judgement debt contractor instructing the then A-G Martin Amidu to pay Isophoton, we all know the response, Martin Amidu gave you. You are a false pretender. You don't deserve to speak on any platform because you are the head of the babies with sharp rotten teeth. Ndc never again.
