This kind of heading doesn't make sense. The money didn't go to the President's pocket. It make no sense reading this.

You punk! Does the money have to go to the President's pocket for there to be waste and corruption? Where are the projects for which a third of our public debt has been contracted in a matter of a year? Mahama is the most clientelistic President this country has ever seen, transferring public funds to all manner of people in order to buy loyalty and votes and appointing unqualified people into public institutions to do his bidding. If we don't begin to speak out about this behaviour, he's going to run this country down before and ahead of 2016. Begin to use your brain a little, will you? Your support for the NDC is not above the long-term interest of the nation.

ARE OUR ELDERS USELESS?
President John Dramani Mahama has added a whopping GHc15.6 billion to Ghana’s total public debt stock since being sworn into office as caretaker and substantive president within the period from July 2012 to August 2013.
This implies that President John Mahama has contracted a total of GHc15.6 billion of debt for Ghanaians since becoming the President of Ghana.
WHAT DO WE HAVE TO SHOW FOR ALL THIS DEBT? WHO VOTED FOR NDC? GO N CLAIM YOUR SHARE....
MAYELE AA, VS MAHAMA?
WHAT DO THESE 2 HAVE IN COMMON?
WE ARE QUICK TO MENTION SCENT,THE SCENT ON HIM OR HER. HOW SMELLY,DIRTY AND DUSTY IS GH?I MEAN GO TO ACCRA, KUMASI, TAADI N YOU WILL FIND THE ALIEN SMELLS N SCENTS!
OPEN GUTTERS EVERYWHERE...TRASH BEING THROWN OR BURNT ANYWHERE. PPL ARE SHITING N THROWING FEACES ANYWHERE, ANYHOW...OH LORD, ANIMAL KINGDOM PAA NIE?!
FOLKS, WAT ARE THE COMMONALITIES BETWEEN BOTH PERSONS HERE? AA AND MAHAMA ARE BLESSED WITH A TAXABLE POPULATION, STAR PLAYERS, AMAZING POOL OF TALENT N RESORCES TO EASILY BECOME A FIRST RATED
NATION/SOCCER TEAM. HOWEVER, THE TRUE POTENTIAL CAN NEVER BE REALISED (NO AFCON TROPHY FOR AA, NO REAL ECONOMIC IMPRVMENT/INFRASTRUCTURAL DEV IN GH). SIMPLY BCOS AA AND MAHAMA ARE CLUELESS N CONFUSED.
THEY DONT EVEN KNOW WAT TO DO....AND DONT HAVE THE COURAGE TO KNOW HOW.....ISNT THAT PETTY N PATHETIC?
LOOK AT THE QUALITY OF OUR REGIONAL STADIUMS...DEPLORABLE. KUMASI STADIUM HAS TOO MANY POTHOLES, THE PLAYERS WERE TRIPPING OVER THEM. ASK ATSU.
UPGRADE THE PITCH INTO A MODERN PITCH N STOP THE MEDIOCRITY IN GH. BUILD MORE MODERN PITCHES SO GH CAN HOST MORE AFRICAN N WORLD TOURNAMENTS. WE CANT HOST WMNS WCUP OR EVEN U17 ON GH.
MEANWHILE NAIJA, EGPYPT, S AFRICA HAVE ALL HOSTED MAJOR CONTINENTAL N WORLD TOURNAMNTS...
THE PITCH IN ACCRA AND KUMASI CAN NOT MEET THE STANDARDS OF A WORLD CLASS SOCCER PITCH. THIS IS A FACT...YOU CAN PLAY ON THEM, BUT YOU RISK AN INJURY BCOS OF THE UNDULATING SURFACE, UNEVENESS
OF THE FIELD, HOLES IN THE FIELD.
SO CANT THE MIN OF SPORTS GO TO SOUTH AFRICA N SEE? PLS, JUST TAKE A TRIP TO SOUTH AFRICA N SEE WAT A REAL STADIUM LOOKS LIKE. GO TO BRASIL N SEEK HELP.
SPEAK TO THE MINISTERS OVER THERE N TELL THEM. WE NEED THESE IN GH TOO.
DONT BE ASHAMED TO ASK FOR GUIDANCE/HELP. WE TALK LIKE HYENAS. EVEN GABON/EQ GUINEA, ANGOLA, NAIJA ALL HAVE BETTER STADIUM FACILITIES
THAN WHAT WE HAVE IN GH. IF I AM KP BOATENG/ESSIEN/DEDE, NO WAY IN HELL AM I RISKING MY CAREER ON THIS PITCH. HW3, I WONT PLAY ON THAT PITCH N TRY TO INJURE MYSELF?
TWEAA, STADIUM WITH POTHOLES WEI? IN THIS MODERN DAY N AGE?
WHAT IS THE GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT OF EQ GUINEA/GABON? LOOK AT THE CONDITION N QUALITY OF OUR AIRPORTS? KUMASI N ACCRA? AGAIN, THE MIN OF TRANSPORT THE THE AVIATION DEPTS NEED TO GO
TO SOUTH AFRICA N SEE WELL, WELL. DONT SIT IN UR AC OFFICES IN ACCRA EATING KELEWELE N NUTS WITH FANTA N SAYING...AHHHHHHHH....LOL
LOOK AT THE STATE OF OUR ROADS N REGIONAL HIGHWAYS? ITS VERY SAD. I ALWAYS GET MADD N UPSET WHEN IM IN GH......UUURRRGGGHHHH!!!
GH IS PROLLY THE NATION WITH THE MOST HIGH QUALITY FOREIGN BASED PLAYERS IN AFRICA. YET, WE CANT WIN A MILK TIN? WHY?
IF APPIAH WHO NEVER PLAYED OUTSIDE GH, HAS HAD OVER 6YRS AS GBSTARS COACHING APPRENTICE, HAS HAD LESS COACHING EDUCATION, CAN PRODUCE MEDIOCRE RESULTS LIKE THIS.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF DESAILLY IS PLUGGED IN THE EQUATION AS COACH OR ADVISOR? OH GH, WE HAVE GOLD, OIL, DIAMONDS, PREGNABLE WOMEN AND POTENT MEN, COCOA, LEARNED MINDS LIKE ANNAN, KUFFOUR AND NDUOM..
EVEN SHEA BUTTER SEF WE GET, BUT LOOK AT OUR DEPLORABLE ROADS AND HIGHWAYS, STADIUMS, SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS...OUR NATION?! WATCH AND LEARN!
THE MIN OF SPORT IN GH MUST MOBILIZE FUNDS FROM THE CENTRAL GOVT, PRIVATE SECTOR N REGIONAL GOVTS. GO TO S AFRICA/BRASIL N SEEK HELP. THESE AFUOM LANDSCAPERS AT GGT ARE NOT PROFESSIONAL.
THEY DNT EVEN KNOW WAT THEY ARE DOING.....
WATCH THE BRASILIAN LEAGUE. U WILL SEE PLAYERS LIKE DIDA, RIVALDO, RONALDINHO, FREDDY ADU, BAPTISTA, COACH DUNGA, DIEGO FORLAN, PATO OF AC MILAN, JUAN, AND MANY MORE ALL PLAYING OVER THERE.
WHERE ARE FMR GBSTAR PLAYERS LIKE OLELE, APPIAH, PAINSTIL, JOHN MENSAH ETC STILL DOING IN EUROPE? FOOLISHNESS!
UNDERDEVELOPED GH
even by africa standards ghana is waaay underdeveloped but ghanaians do not seem to notice that….
airports , roads, stadia in ghana are still sub standard….THIS IS WHY I HATE coming to ghana…Africans who LOVE AND respect ghana, are surprised AT what they see when they visit..
There is a old saying: "when something is working, leave it alone; work on something else where you can create something new for doing good". This is universal truth. Somethings are meant to be that way.
MAJORITY OF THE PPL CANT USE A COMPUTER. INTERNET CONNECTIVITY IN GH IS VERY POOR. THE GOVT AND PRIVATE SECTOR MUST INVEST IN NATIONWIDE BROADBAND TECHNOLOGY, FAST! THIS IS THE FUTURE.
PARENTS, STOP ENROLLING YOUR KIDS IN SCHOOL. LET THEM ROAM THE STREETS. IF THE GOVT ASKS WHY.
TELL THE GOVT YOU DEMAND FREE BASIC SCHOOL FOR ALL GH KIDDIES UP TO SHS..4YRS!
GH GOVT MUST OFFER FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO GHWEB. WE NEED RAPID INTERNET BROADBAND INFRASTRUCTURE IN GH. THIS MUST BE A PRIORITY FOR THE GOVT!
GO N GET A LOAN N USE IT FOR INITIAVES LIKE THIS.
OTHER NATIONS WITH LESS ENDOWED NATURAL RESOURCES, POPULATIONS ARE DOING IT....
PLS TELL AA N KONADU TO WATCH BRAZILIAN LEAGUE. SHOW BRAZILIAN LEAGUE GAMES ON GH TV.@ ...WWW.P2P4U.NET
NYANTAKYI IS RUNNING THE GH LEAGUE LIKE FOSU LINE, DONGOMI. THE EARLIER HE LEAVES, THE BETTER GH SOCCER WILL BE
Ghana is NOW like Haiti!!! There was only one airport in Haiti and when the disaster strucked,aid donors HAD it so hard to send humanritan reliefs because the only one international airport
was destroyed. just imagining if Ghana is not the same as Haiti!! Building one international airport in Kumasi has turn into a tribal politics!!#

Ask yourself this question, if the money did no go into the president's pocket, what did he do with that money? Give one example of what Mahama has done with the money? When Mahama came to the presidency, the only achievement under his sleeve is increasing his salary. Increasing the national debts is okay but show what that money has done to the lives of the average man/woman/child. That is what we are talking about. The national debt should not be increase just for increasing sake while the nation is rather sinking.

When it comes to such important revelations all the professional serial Ghanaweb writers of the NDC Sakabo Party runs underground. They come out like worms from dead wood when they hear of Akuffo Addo. They wait for Akuffo story to come up and they rise up from the ashes to make their bitter insulting comments. They are always after somebody who has not taken a single penny belonging to the State BUT keep quiet over those who commit such gargantuan fraud

It is so sad to see all these people including Kola of London, Ali Masmadi Jehu Appiah, Kwesi Pratt, Terribly Specific, Margaret Jackson, Allotey Jacobs, Zeo, Dela, Nana Ama, Kojo T and all the rest of the NDC brigade keep so quiet when it is revealed that they have caused us so much loss...Don't they really care? sad..very sad indeed..Shameful NDc supporters...

I guess from your comment all is well with you and your family. I guess life is good for you so you can sit behind a computer and brag about 39 days campaign. The sensible NDC supporters make sensible comments but the idiots who only think of their party coming to power damn the consequence on the economy. I feel sorry for people with your kind of thinking.

How much of those debts are being serviced. Or they are just mounting. I thought the Eurobonds are supposed to finance some of these debts. We need explanations.

Ghana will owe many billions by the time we kick off Mahama from the Presidency.
We have people like Dr. Bawumia in the country then we select Mahama as the President. Talk about the fox as a leader of the chickens in the coup.

Furthermore, it is not the president who has added to our debts. Did he spend the money on some parties?
