UT Bank was run by Kofi Amoabeng like a mom and pop store with bad management and the forgery of loans.. Capital Bank was run by religious crooks who run the bank like their fake churches.. In other words neither Kofi Amoabeng nor Otabil and his gang of thieves were qualified enough to operate a financial institution.

NOT TRUE. IT WAS MR. CORONA WHO INSTRUCTED ADDISON AND THE FINANCE MINISTER TO SHUT DOWN THOSE BANKS.

Addison is a damn liar. Why did he wait till now to come up with this lame excuse for shutting down those banks? The bank closures was a scheme by Akufo-Addo and his Finance Minister to intentionally shut down banks that they felt would be funding the NDC in the 2024 elections. This rubbish about the IMF is just like the government stupidly blaming the pandemic for its terrible mishandling of Ghana's economy. If one is to believe Addison's bullshit lie, then question remains, "Why did the IMF not also chime in about the Finance Minister Ofori-Atta's corrupt and unethical dealing by steering government business to a bank that he owned?". The IMF had nothing to do with those bank closings, it was all part of the diabolical break the 9 scheme, and Addison became a puppet in that scheme because he was being handsomely rewarded by the government.

THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY GHANAIAN FOOLS, AND THIS GUY IS ONE OF THOSE NINCOMPOOPS. THAT'S WHY GHANA IS, AND WILL ALWAYS BE PEPERTUALLY BANKRUPT, AND ETERNALLY CHASING THE IMF LIKE FOOLS FOR FRAUDULENT LOANS, IN THE MIDST OF UNCOUNTABLE NATURAL RESOURCES AT THE NATION'S DISPOSAL.

BANKRUPT GHANA'S CONSTITUTION MUST BE TOTALLY REVISED ON THE BASIS OF "WHAT YOU PUT IN, MUST EQUAL OR EXCEED WHAT YOU GET OUT.

GHANAIAN PRESIDENTS AND OTHER ARTICLE SHIT OFFICE HOLDERS ENTITLEMENTS, AS WELL AS THOSE ENTITLEMENTS FOR LIFE, MUST BE EXPUNGED FROM THAT FRAUDULENT CONSTITUTION.

GHANA'S FUCKING USELESS LEADERS MUST LEARN TO SAVE PART OF THEIR SALARIES AND TGE PLETHORA OF ALLOWANCES FOR THEIR RETIREMENT, JUST AS WHAT ALL LOW PAID PUBLIC SERVANTS DO.

THESE GROUPS OF FREELOADERS AND PATHOLOGICAL THIEVES MUST BE TREATED AS SUCH.

NO MORE EX-GRATIA PAYOUTS AFTER YEARS OF LOOTING THE BANKRUPT STATE OF HIGHLY-INDEBTED AND TAXED GHANA.

WHAT KIND OF TERRIBLE FUTURE ARE GHANA'S USELESSLY CORRUPT SUCCESSIVE FREELOADING LEADERS CREATING FOR THE OFFSPRINGS OF THE POOR AND UNCONNECTED IN SOCIETY? WHY ALL THESE SHIT?

BANKRUPT GHANA'S ECONOMY MUST CEASE TO BE OPERATED LIKE A PONZI SCHEME.

We exited the IMF programme in 2017 so why did you then subscribe to IMF advice to close down some banks? I dont get it. Which loan or funds were supposed to come in. Most of these banks licenses were revoked between 2017 and 2018. By 2018 we weren't under IMF programme. In any case you are telling us IMF asked you to do financial sector clean but not your own analysis of the financial sector at the time? You looked on while the IMF collapse the economy?

Why did Addison choose this time to justify his actions that ended up creating immense hardship and poverty of the Ghanaian people? The day of reckoning is neigh. Look, if the IMF asks Addison to kill his mother, will he surely do it? He should have come up strongly against this so-called prior action. He should have taken steps to keep families together and not throw people out of job by strengthening the supervisory role of the Bank of Ghana. He strongly failed us and must therefore account for his stewardship.

Prepare for fience legal tussle in the coming days. You will prove to Ghanaians and the world in general why you collapsed these local banks and local financial institutions instead of supporting them to stand on their fèets and bring the owners to the court for prosecution if anything adverse findings are are established by the court against them.

Those Ghanaians who voted for NDC need to honestly examine their minds to check again if they want Ghana to progress or go back another 20 years.

Many countries would like to be where Ghana is, post covid 19 and the Ukraine - Russia war.

It is unfortunate that partisan politics, propaganda fake information is making it difficult for some Ghanaians to understand what were put in place for the future progress of Ghana by NPP.

Posterity will judge the Nana Addo government's policies, particularly digitisation, education, agriculture, judiciary, defence, police service, general public safety, transport, health and infrastructure, banking sector clean up, and conclude that they did their best, given the global economic and financial circumstances.
