AUTHOR: MARTIN A.B.K. AMIDU....

It would appear that those in control of the NDC, for the time being, were bent on excluding other bona fide members of the Party who may wish to lay democratic claims to who becomes the next flag bearer of the Party by excluding them even before the mortal remains of the demised President were interred. It is also symptomatic of how political party elites in Ghana and Africa worm their way into the confidences of persons perceived as likely to ascend to power positions for purposes of eventual personal economic gain at the expense of the generality of the mass of Party members and the Nation which every President swears to serve under the Constitution...

IGNORANTLY THIS NDC GOVERNMENT FOR THE PAST 5 YRS. HAVING A TAX PROFESSOR AS PRESIDENT FAILED TO RESOURCE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION AUTHORITY TO COMPLETE THE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION PROJECT WHICH IS A MAIN SOURCE OF WAY TO IDENTIFY ALL TAX PAYERS IN THE COUNTRY, IDENTIFY AREAS THAT THEY COULD EXPAND REVENUE GENERATION THROUGH TAX SPREAD ACROSS THE BOARD IDENTIFY ALL IN EMPLOYMENT AND SELF-EMPLOYED.
AS WELL AS SAVING MILLIONS OF $$$$$ FORM HAVING ELECTORAL REGISTER EACH 4 YEARS WHEN THROUGH NATIONAL ID DATA - ALL THOSE ACHIEVING 18+ WILL ONLY HAVE TO BE MOVED INTO THE ELECTORAL REGISTER EACH YEAR, DEATH & BIRTHS UPDATED EACH YEAR THROUGH RECORDS OF BIRTHS & DEATHS, IN REGIONS, DISTRICTS, ELECTORAL AREAS ...E.T.C.

Center to all this corruption now is the ewe tribalism that has a stranglehold on the ndc and now most of the state agencies that are to combat this menace. yes corruption exists in all countries but ours has become more notorious than the nigerian , during kuffuor's time it was know he and his cronies would try and secure a 0.5 to 5% commission now ndc is known for not less than 20% going up all the way to 200 300 or even 500% . loans achieve even parliamentary approval are withdrawn as business wise it just doesnt make sense. the civil service especial ministry of finance has turned into a money grabbing arm twisting mafia that up to 3 years ago would frustrate any endeavor undertook en if one would not pay , in short the process would move at a snails pace . the last couple of years if you dont pay your files and docs would go missing or you would eventually be accused of defrauding the state or some other fabricated heinous crime and end up with the bni , police or some other agency of repression fighting for your life. in short would take by force from you what you did not willingly give.Some now advocate for JJ methods of dealing with this system of doom, but rawlings style of governance can never come back as the revolution propaganda and media hype was nothing but a sophisticated cover and camouflage of the ewe persecution of the Akans mainly the ashantis as by the end of the Acheampong era most govt institutions and factories were being managed by Ashantis, today most are in the hands of northerners , Gas and ewes so to clean up the babies and fruits of the revolution with another is impossible , the only solution is now a civil war . now tribalistically speaking without being accused again of chauvinism or Akan nationalism we have a situation whereby this alliance of the ewes , part of the gas and northerners , that is less than 15 % of the population by varios means of election engineering , rigging divide and rule now are looting as quickly as they can all the wealth of the nation as they know this can not last forever . unfortunately when they are done we shall be left with a war and no future for our children due to our own laziness to see the truth for what it really is . here is a govt so busy with their cover up for the SADA that not a single minister or leader to come out this Easter with a message of hope as their hearts are filled with so much evil and hate . yes this govt will leave one day for sure despised and hated by the people , never to come back again.

What is the use of this huge propaganda of a "President" filing his end of year returns which enables him pay his tax accordingly to the laws of the land when at the end of the day he and his criminally corrupt haughty NDC gangsters will diabolically claim all that in thousand fold with a dubious "woyomenized" settlement debt payments and cuts from awarded contracts?

Hey John filing your tax returns for what and to prove what? It's ajoke and no seriousness in this story. why didn't you do it when you were vice president? You stole so much from the STX housing deal, the jets you bought from Brazil that sent Mills to his untimely deathand the Cuba scholarship deal. Ghanaians would be happy, if you could tell them why there is no more meat left on the bones. Tell us how much you decleared last year and this year around. You are are de facto president and have no constitutional right to indulge in any money-making business, so apart from your salary as interim president if you getting money somewhere is uncostitutional and abuse of office.
