You are a MORON. You are living in cloud nine. Ghana defaulted on its international loans commitments and that was why Ghana went to the IMF/World Bank cup in hands. Because of the lies of Bawimia. Because of over borrowing of $13 billion and looting them all by Bawumia and the Akyem Abuakwa thieves. see below-THE LOOTERS. Nobody want TANI Bawumia in power. NPP will change their Flagbearer.

The immediate past Director General of the National Signals Bureau of the National Security Council, Kwabena Adu-Boahene, and his wife Angela Adjei-Boateng have been detained by the Attorney General’s office following his arrest at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA).

Following his detention, Attorney General Dr. Dominic Akuritinga Ayine revealed at a press conference on Monday, March 24, 2025, a list of properties acquired by both suspects since 2018.

This was established through painstaking investigations by the EOCO and the AG’s office indicating that the properties acquired were bought using embezzled state funds.

Below is a breakdown of the properties and their estimated values under the couple’s names below:

1. No. 2 stream part drive, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra which is estimated at $1,000,000 (valued at GH¢15,000,000)

2. No. 6 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra

3. No. 7 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra estimated at a value of $200,000

4. No. 8 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates LA, Accra estimated at a value of $97,815

5. No. 9 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates LA, Accra also valued at $270,000

6. No. 10 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates LA, Accra at $150,000, Additionally, another initial cash deposit of $500,000 was made to purchase 5 houses.

7. Vertex properties at Oyarifa Gated Estate Development. This consists of 27 houses each valued at an estimated cost of $295,000 (GH¢127,000,000).

8. Two properties in London

The AG further disclosed that an amount of up to GH¢39 million was allegedly diverted and embezzled by the suspects from the agency.

"GH¢39,462,480 went into Adu-Boahene and his wife's pockets from one transaction," the Attorney General said.

"We are still tracking suspect Adu-Boahene, his wife, and their assets. In the coming days, we will file the necessary charges against them," he stated.

Kwabena Adu-Boahene has since been arrested in connection with the alleged diversion of public funds meant for a cybersecurity defense system.

These traders always find someone else to blame but themselves. Until there is proper behaviour, discipline, adherence to the rules and regulations and order, these fires would persist. But this would not happen, if rules aren't enforced. It is up to them, in the wake of these huge economic losses, to take matters into their own hands and act, because politicians would only talk and do nothing .

Rejoinder: ‘Some Traders Have Regretted Not Voting for Dr. Bawumia’ – Gideon Boako Claims

Accra, Ghana – March 26, 2025

Contrary to claims by Gideon Boako, spokesperson for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, that some traders regret not voting for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer in the 2024 elections, many traders insist they are rather satisfied with their decision.

During a recent media interaction, Dr. Boako alleged that traders, particularly in major markets across the country, had expressed disappointment in their choice, suggesting they now recognize Dr. Bawumia’s policies would have benefited them. However, a section of traders have strongly refuted this assertion, stating that their current economic challenges stem from policies implemented under the NPP government, where Dr. Bawumia served as Vice President.

Market women at the Makola and Kaneshie markets, for instance, argue that the high cost of living, increased taxes, and unstable exchange rates under the previous administration left them struggling to sustain their businesses. “We don’t regret anything. If anything, we are relieved that change has come. The past government made things difficult for us,” said Akosua Mensah, a trader at Kaneshie Market.

Others pointed to the high cost of imports and the depreciation of the cedi during Dr. Bawumia’s tenure as reasons for rejecting his leadership bid. “If he had the solutions, why didn’t he fix the problems when he was in charge of the economy?” questioned Kofi Asare, an electronics dealer in Kumasi.

Some traders went further to argue that Dr. Bawumia does not have what it takes to be president, adding that he would have been worse than President Nana Akufo-Addo. “Bawumia was in charge of economic management, and look at where he left us. If he had become president, things would have been even worse,” remarked Adjoa Tetteh, a shop owner at Okaishie.

Many traders also recalled how most stores were running empty during the previous administration due to high inflation and expensive import duties. “We struggled to stock our shops because the prices kept changing daily. Customers could not even afford basic goods,” lamented Kwame Boateng, a wholesale trader in Accra.

For these traders, rejecting Dr. Bawumia at the polls was a necessary step toward economic recovery, not a decision they regret.

Well am sorry Gideon. The just ended elections shows the Ashantis are not the king makers of Ghana.
They came out in their numbers to vote.

That is your mind, if they want they can go and burn the sea. John Mahama is the president and nothing would change that, if he thinks about Kumasi people for eight years why didn't your government build the Kajetia market.

Was voting for Dr Bawumia going to prevent the fire out break? Submission out of context.

Stupid talk! You lack reasoning and logic.

Elections they say have consequences. They’ll do same if the shoe fits on the other foot.
They have regrets for a likely negligence that might have caused the fire in the market?

Regrets that the Assembly stood aloof for illegal structures to spring up and contest the market that fire tenders were not able to access the market and douse the flames?

Regrets that Mahama could not equip the Fire Service with Helicopters under three months when Bawumia and Nana Addo could not do so in 8yrs?!!

You talked the same way and you polled 38% for Bawumia. I bet you, if you bring him back, you wouldn't get anything more than 28%. Any other person may get 43% for the NPP. You can mark it anywhere.

Massa, say some Kumasi traders. And who cares?????
And what difference would it have made if they had voted for Bawumia? The best result could have been that he would have moved from 38.2% to 38.3%.
