I can’t believe this. Arrests of people involved with this “SMELLY “ Transactions should be carried out immediately.
@Osafo. Well said. I can not agree with you more. Enough is enough. We Ghanaians are literally speaking tired of the magnitude of corruption in the previous Government. What is even more irritating is that not a single person ...

Why does the corrupt bastard want to renegotiate the contract? He can just force the delivery of the said vehicles through the courts. The crooked bastard wants his cut, I presume.
You sound like a full grown idiot.
#Ka... please, don't mind that roaming mammal (@Osabarima Mensah). His swollen & overgrown hernia remains untreated. This is affecting his thinking abilities
Are you aware Cassiel Ato Forson himself is a Thief? He is engaged in this propaganda and lies to justify why he and Jakpa Richard stole our 2.7 Million Dollars.
This poor soul up here is also called @Nana...!!!!! What a tragedy..!!!!! In Ghana, Nana is a royal and respected name. But two of them -- this homeless bastard up here, and Nana Akuffo Addo -- are so STUPID that, they are d ...

@ Don Simon
Stupidity in the DNA of many NDC Followers , their IQ is equivalent to Animals. No wonder their President don't regard them and is not bothered to honour promises made to them when campaigning.
Aaajiiieeeee..... bodamfuor bi ba @Nana! Were you talking about somebody not honoring his promises..???? Ooohhh, Kwaaaasia tontolii..!!!!! Even your namesake... (gyimifuorhene Nana Akuffo Addo) is known to have made an unfulf ...

Renegotiation sounds better. Probably the 2020 systems spec need to be updated to suit this year 2025 and beyond, and many other factors ought to be taken into consideration.

@ Balman
Don't waste your breathe on Criminal Cassiel Ato Forson, he knows where to take the case to. Ato himself shd have been in prison, the carelessness of Godfred Dame allowed him to walk around.
Nana, so, what do you have to say about your unfulfilled promises comments and Akuffo Addo's unfulfilled promise to God?
You should be humble and wise in your comments.
Between Godfred Dame and Ato Forson, we shall shortly see who will go to prison for crimes committed against the people of Ghana.
Do you remember they packed the court? Homework is needed there before the trials begin

All evil and wrong doing must be condemned. We have to condemn this act, the NDC government also did similar thing to Ghana, but the npp could not withdraw our monies for us,they prefer stealing to tracing those monies
Any sensible person who has no malice, will invite the person who signed the contract for an explanation why delivery has delayed/ stopped. If you're not convinced you hand the person over to appropriate body for investigatio ...

Kofi, now, you see the type of people we have in Ghana. Most of them are emotionally controlled and that is why a Ghanaian will kill before asking questions.
@Pelicles, it took four years to build Soace X from scratch. From August 2020 to November 2025 , half the amount paid and not a single one has been delivered. What sort if rotten deal is that?
The Ambulance case in my thought.
