So is tribalism the impediment holding us back not jail criminals, and thus making us the laughing stock of Africa or what?

GA ADANGBE = CORRUPTION

THE REASON IS GA STUPIDITY AND CORRUPTOLOGY.

LETS BE HONEST ABOUT IT, THE GAS ARE GHANA’S MORAL ARCHILIS HEELS. THE WORSE, MOST IMMORAL, MOST CORRUPT, MOST TRIBALISTIC, MOST NOISY,MOST SHOUTING, MOST QUARRELSOME, MOST TROUBLESOME, MOST STEALING, MOST EASILY-BRIBABLE, MOST IN-HYGENIC, MOST GHANA-CORRUPTING, MOST DISOBEDIENT TO RULES AND LAWS,MOST ELDERS-DISRESPECTING, MOST THIEFING LADIES, MOST CHEATING, MOST LAZY, MOST BOASTFUL-FOR-NOTHING, WANTING EVERYTHING FOR FREE WITHOUT WORKING FOR IT, MOST WASTEFUL, MOST SELLING-OUT, MOST DESTRUCTIVE OF NATIONAL ORDERLINESS, SO IMMORAL THAT EVEN RELIGION AND EDUCATION CANNOT PURIFY THEM, SO DUMM AND UN-INNOVATIVE, AND LEAST AND NOT THE LEAST, THE MOST IMMORAL , PROMISCUOUS AND DIRTY, IS THE GA TRIBE.

SHOW ME ONE (JUST ONE) OTHER TRIBE IN GHANA THAT IS LIKE THIS, AND I WILL KNOW THAT YOU ARE REALLY HONEST AND YOU REALLY KNOW THE TRIBES OF GHANA. ASANTE AND EWE ARE NOT LIKE THIS.

GA, THE ORIGIN OF ALL IMMORALITY, CORRUPTION, DIRT AND LAWLESSNESS IN GHANA !. THE ACHILIS HEELS OF GHANA. GA STUPIDITY KILLS GHANA.

THERE IS CORRUPTION IN THE BLOOD OF EVERY GA, LIVING, DEAD AND UNBORN. UNLESS GHANA DEALS WITH THIS DIRTY NATURE IN THE GA PSYCHE AND REALITY, ALL GHANA WILL CONTINUE TO BE POISONED BY GA CORRUPTOLOGY.

DON’T TAKE MY WORDS, FIND IT OUT YOURSELF HONESTLY AND SINCERELY, YOU WOULD FIND IT SO. GAS ARE TOO CORRUPT FOR ANTHING GOOD PLUS EVEN RELIGION .
GHANA MUST WATCH OUT GA CORRUPTION, ELSE IT WILL KILL GHANA,.

Leadership and integrity is lacking. If the leader is not qualified or lack integrity how can he check the subordinates? I know of certain very corrupt people who serve as advisors or top administrators at AMA. Mr. Vandapuye should not look far from himself. Some of his administrator are receiving kickbacks, putting up mansions. These people were broke some few years ago. Where do you think they got the funds from? From AMA or Ghana government. No wonder we don’t have sufficient capacities for utilities; funds for infrastructure, health facilities, necessary inputs to support the economy. Oh how I cry for some authoritarian nationalistic leader to sweep all these selfish motherfuckers into the Korle lagoon. Vandapuye and his cronies from abroad have come to chop Ghana small. What they couldn’t afford in US they want to grab in Ghana. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME

very true , Ghana is over but the pandora box of hegemony ,ethnocentrism , chauvinism , tribal racism , institutional corruption and veiled ideological hate camouflaged into left wing politics has been opened. it is only a matter of time when the country breaks up peacefully or in war . one can not in these times bury one's head in the sand like an ostrich but should prepare for the once unthinkable . its pay day for all the evils and stubbornness of the corrupt political oligarchy of the last 60 years who have neglected their obligations to the ordinary man for their own selfish gains. today the whispers are slowly becoming thundering shouts for freedom and yes Ghana can never be the same . it changed the day atta mills was brutally murdered and this govt refused an inquest so the truth be known . long live the republic of Akan

I donot understand why Government officials are involved in gross malfeasense without shame.Are they not recieving monthly emmoluments for the work they perform as responsble officers or is it because of greed.Hmmmm,what I have realised is that,the challenges in Ghana have become so huge in the sence that everyone wants to build the tower of Babillon for himselve by hook or crook.It is time Government do more to stop it with reburst under cover policing to stop this practice.

Here is a Mayor of Accra who just a few days ago was promising illegal squatters posing as traders at the Accra Railway station that he would rebuild their burnt-out market there again at that the railway station. Where in the world does this happen?

Isnt this the same chap who it is said, lived In the US for many years?

you think? Well, in 2008 what money was used to fund campaigning in the north?

Answer = Tolls from AMA markets in Accra. Of course those who sent the money to their bosses campaigning for the presidential candidate of the governing party at the time also kept some for themselves.

Anyway I don't work at AMA and my sources have since left. The selfishness of these your NPP politicians who totally ignore their needy operatives is what brought this story out to my hearing.

You may be right about one thing and that will be lack of complete effectiveness in office because the NPP operatives are talking. Maybe our national security services aren't effective enough in gathering all the information available and most importantly analyzing and using them to further necessary investigations into the nefarious activities of public sector workers.

Under the NDC govt, so so chop chop! They're chopping with both hands. It's time Ghanaians stood up against all the corruption that's going on. How can the nation move forward with the kind of corruption and rot that we're experiencing right now? Seriously, I believe that something needs to be done, else we're heading into a bid "economic ditch" as a nation. It's time to stop the canker!

ARREST THESE FOOLS, JAIL THEM UNTIL A HEAVY BOND/BAIL IS PAID. GATHER THE EVIDENCE AND TAKE THEM TO COURT. PUT YOUR FUCKING FOOT DOWN! CONFISCATE THEIR ASSETS AND PAY OFF THESE MISMANAGED PROJECTS WITH THE PROCEEDS FROM THE PUBLIC AUCTION.
THEN JAIL AND PUBLISH THEIR NAMES IN THE MEDIA. NAME AND SHAME THEM. NKWASIAFOUR! NOT UNDER MY WATCH!
AHA NA WO B3 DA!
the pressing immediate problems confronting the countRY GHANA ARE - GALAMSAY EVERYWHERE, no electricity, no water, rife in corruption, high incompetence levels, etc.
At the moment JOHN MAHAMA has NOT articulated any vision for the country and his governance. Ghanaians don't know what he stands for except his mere promises and lies.
For sustainable socio-economic development Ghana needs ACCOUNTABLE GOVERNANCE not mere promises without action as characterised BY MAHAMA'S "leadership".
Argentina’s president has announced increases of as much as 35 percent in cash handouts to the poor, students, pregnant women and retirees.
President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner said the programs also will reach nearly 700,000 more children, expanding the social safety net and encouraging consumer spending this election year. She said the total cost of the subsidies would grow $7.8 billion a year.
