I heard Frank Agyekum, Kufour's spokeman, saying that the Greedy Thief is proud of his achievements during his 8 years of LOOTING. Surely, this is one of them. Others are Ghana Airways, Ghana Telecom, Accra lands that he sold like tomatoes that must be sold before they rot. That Greedy Thief is bold to still talk in public. And what is the Evil Dwarf, Akufo Addo, also saying about this?

Author:-Hon. Martin A.B.K. Amidu.

...The Government exercised the latter option when we disagreed over the judgment debt and other Gargantuan crimes. The Government, and my colleague Ministers at the time know that there was no provision for dismissal under my contract of employment as a Minister or that of any Minster.

I reserve the right as a citizen of Ghana to protect and defend my honour and integrity should this civilized challenge for the truth be ignored.

This is not the price I should be made to pay by the Government of Ghana for defending the Constitution of Ghana in the Waterville and Isofoton unconstitutional payments declared by the Supreme Court.

PNDC sold Black Star Line - Former Employee

By GNA Kumasi, Nov. 16, 2004 –

A Former Employee of Black Star Line, the national shipping line, says it was the Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC) Government that sold the Company and not the Progress Party (PP) Government.

Nana Opoku Agyemang III, formerly called K. Takyi-Berko, the Former Employee of the Black Star Line said it was the PNDC that sold the Company based on the recommendations of a committee it set up in 1982.

He was reacting to a publication in a section of the Media to the effect that the PP Government sold the Black Star Line.

"As the London Manager of the Line, I can say with absolute certainty that the asset of the Line included 16 vessels and some other immovable property when Colonel I.K. Acheampong toppled the Progress Party Government in 1972," he said, adding that four new acquisitions were added to the fleet later.

Nana Opoku Agyemang explained that during the Third Republic under President Hilla Limann's Administration when Mr Harry Sawyer was the Minister of Transport and Communications, almost eight years after PP Government was toppled, the Black Star Line was still alive and kicking. He recalled that during the Limann's Administration, a dispute arose between the Officers Afloat and the Government.

"The case came before her Lordship Mrs Justice Koranteng-Addo of blessed memory, and I, a Chartered Shipbroker and at that time the Member of Parliament for Offinso and Mr Kwasi Akoto, an Insurance Expert and the then Member of Parliament for Akropong, appeared before Her Lordship to take the case out of Court for settlement. This further shows that the Line was functioning during the Limann's Regime." Nana Opoku Agyemang said on March 7 1982, the PNDC set up a "Sale of Ships Committee" and he was, therefore, released from the Kumasi Central Prison, where he was in protective custody, to report to Mr B.D.D. Asamoah to become a member of that Committee.

He said, however, that Members of the Black Star Line Committee for the Defence of the Revolution (CDR) protested against his membership on the grounds that he was a PFP Member of Parliament and was, therefore, withdrawn from the Committee.

Na wa oooo, Ghana?. I think the country lack the true spirit of political leadership to manage the nations resources for a prosperous Ghana for our grandchildren. Now if cares is not taking then Ghana will be heading into receivership of the western world. Then all day to day government activities will be ran from the western nations'governments. It is very dangerous and also sinful that Ghanaian politicians are witchfully trying to bankrupt the country from one regime to the other.

Koo Nimoh writes: "Now if cares is not taking then Ghana will be heading into receivership of the western world."

Koo, I'm afraid, this has already been going on for years. Kufuor only came to exarcebate it, having virtually sold Ghana to the West so cheaply. What do you think the IMF and the World Bank are doing when they've opened their offices in our capital? They dictate to us how we must run our country economically. This way, they ensure that we meet the conditionalities they've attached to the loan agreements we've signed with them. And the conditionalities favour them, for they're designed essentially to exploit us. As soon as the CIA engineered-coup overthrew our first President Nkrumah, the Americans rushed to Ghana with the IMF and the World Bank and offered us loans, while at the same time asking our government to devalue our currency. The explained that devaluing the currency would stimulate export and thus improve the economy. This means that we would be selling to them cheaply our primary products, and we've done that several times devaluing our cedi. Has the economy improved since then---after 47 years?

Truth is, as long as we continue to deal with the West the way we do, we'll never be free; we'll perpetually be indebted to them; our economy will never improve, so we'll be forced to rely upon them. And the more we rely upon them, the more they enslave us.

That's why it's so painful that our politicians like Kufuor would go to London, meet with Vodafone Executives and cheaply sold to them our Ghana Telecom for $90 million while rejecting about $230 million offered by a South African company. Why should a President who's not an expert in telecommunications personally transact such serious national business with a telecommunications giant like Vodafone, if he had no ulterior motive? Of course, rumour had it that Kufuor received from Vodafone into his own personal pocket $30 million. This makes sense if you wonder why he'd reject the South African offer for Ghana Telecom in lieu of the pittance from Vodafone .

This is our plight in Ghana and there doesn't seem to be a way out, so long as our politicians have no sense of patriotism and their priority goals seem to be to amass wealth at the expense of the state.

How can we be so irresponsible. Ghana had a drillship that was likely to discover the oil to enable the Country a 100% ownership of the oil and NPP Gov't sold it and provided the oil documents to Kosmos and others to come-in, drill, and give the entire Ghanaian Nation a 10% share with 3.5% going to the E.O. Group, and the remaining 86.50% going to the few Whitemen? That is very unpatriotic!

Who are we fooling and whom do we blame for our failure as a nation, the Whiteman? No, we are our own Devils. God blessed Ghana with so much but with such stupid and corrupt leadership mentality, it will be very difficult to break through.

OH MOTHER GHANA, MY EYES ARE BURIED IN TEARS FOR YOUR CHILDREN!!!

So if Nana Addo asked him to grant K.T. Hammond power of attorney to sell the drill ship, where is the corruption in that? The phone call or the sale? There is no need for insults. If the CEO know it was technically wrong, what did he do about it to date. As the CEO, he knew the buck stops with him, if he is asked to do something which he thinks has not been sent through the proper channel, what you do is ask them to go through the proper channel. You don't act on a phone call and come back 10 years later to say you erred. No CEO worth his salt would do what he did.

Just the mention of Nana Addo gets NDC supporters excited because they think Yes, Nana Addo is in trouble, you people even don't understand what you read, all you need is one sentence mentioning a name you hate and fear and you go into overdrive with your silly comments without any objective analysis. Same as the people in Govt. No wonder the economy is in a mess. Think, use your brains for once.

I still maintain that as CEO, you should know that when thing go wrong under your watch, you will be held responsible.

What limited powers are you talking about? What is the point of being a CEO if all you do is collect fat salaries and cannot challenge what you percive to be a wrong act?

Did he the CEO even bother to follow up on the sale when it occured under his watch? Any competent CEO would ask for full disclosure so as to protect his back and the company he heads, but not in Ghana, quick to pass on the blame. This is pure negligence and irresponsible on the part of the CEO.

This matter happened four months into the regime of a new NPP Government. They did not know Tsatsu Tsikata had taken huge loans from Societe Generale to exploit Oil in the Tano Basin. The Drill Ship was used by Tsatsu Tsikata as Sovereign Guarantee to take French Businessmen's loans and so the Ship was held against payment of their money by Tsatsu Tsikata. He must be asked what he did with the loan? How the Ship was confiscated by his Creditors, and above all where is the money since no one has evidence of Oil Exploitation in the River Tano Basin. NDC crooks think we are dumbs. Its Tsatsu Tsikata who must be held responsible for this matter. What did he do with the loans? Akuffo Addo was following directives of the International Court. Nana is not in Politics to amass wealth at the expense of the nation as Tsatsu Tsikata and his NDC Fiaffitors do.

Shame on you all...but there is bigger deal to think about it such as this revelation here below:

PNDC sold Black Star Line - Former Employee

By GNA Kumasi, Nov. 16, 2004 –

A Former Employee of Black Star Line, the national shipping line, says it was the Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC) Government that sold the Company and not the Progress Party (PP) Government.

Nana Opoku Agyemang III, formerly called K. Takyi-Berko, the Former Employee of the Black Star Line said it was the PNDC that sold the Company based on the recommendations of a committee it set up in 1982.

He was reacting to a publication in a section of the Media to the effect that the PP Government sold the Black Star Line.

"As the London Manager of the Line, I can say with absolute certainty that the asset of the Line included 16 vessels and some other immovable property when Colonel I.K. Acheampong toppled the Progress Party Government in 1972," he said, adding that four new acquisitions were added to the fleet later.

Nana Opoku Agyemang explained that during the Third Republic under President Hilla Limann's Administration when Mr Harry Sawyer was the Minister of Transport and Communications, almost eight years after PP Government was toppled, the Black Star Line was still alive and kicking. He recalled that during the Limann's Administration, a dispute arose between the Officers Afloat and the Government.

"The case came before her Lordship Mrs Justice Koranteng-Addo of blessed memory, and I, a Chartered Shipbroker and at that time the Member of Parliament for Offinso and Mr Kwasi Akoto, an Insurance Expert and the then Member of Parliament for Akropong, appeared before Her Lordship to take the case out of Court for settlement. This further shows that the Line was functioning during the Limann's Regime." Nana Opoku Agyemang said on March 7 1982, the PNDC set up a "Sale of Ships Committee" and he was, therefore, released from the Kumasi Central Prison, where he was in protective custody, to report to Mr B.D.D. Asamoah to become a member of that Committee.

He said, however, that Members of the Black Star Line Committee for the Defence of the Revolution (CDR) protested against his membership on the grounds that he was a PFP Member of Parliament and was, therefore, withdrawn from the Committee

Do you understand what you read? Or like most semi educated university graduates, you read the first sentence and think you know the answer. What deals are you talking about? Was the debt paid off with the proceeds from the sale of the ship? Yes, do we know where the $3m balance is, No. That is where we should channel our efforts, not the sale which was instructed by a court for our default payment. Nana Addo asked for KT to be given power of attorney to sell the ship to pay of the debt as instructed by the court. Where is the accumulation of money here? What we should worry about is where the $3m balance is.

Reading most of the comments here tells me the NDC supporters are frustrated with the many create, loot and share accusations and having been waiting for something....anything at all to hang onto to shout over. Most of them either read the article but did not understand it or seeing Nana Addo's name in the artcle gave them "pre mature ejaculation". This was a court order to sell a ship to offset socts incurred due to default payment, since there was no board in place at the time, the attorney general at the time makes a request to the CEO of GNPC to issue a power of attorney to enable the sale to be carried out as instructed by the court. How some looneys see this as a smoking gun beats my imagination. This is either ignorance or plan stupidity. What people need to focus on is where the balance of $3m is.

Go gentle on Amos. I do not think this reportage is reflective of what took place at the hearing. Before Dr Ofori Quaah left for Ghana, we communicated about the summons. He was quite emphatic about the mess in which GNPC was left by Tsatsu Tsikata and how he was fire fighting all the time.

The company was fighting to stay afloat and he is quite grateful of the help he recieved from K T Hammond as they re-structured. I do not think he will deliberately undermine K T Hammond's narration of events. What is reported here may have come out of questioning and maybe his own submission has not been reported. He saw what happened in 2001 as the only alternative at the time.

Tsatsu had acquired a big foolish debt on our behalf. POOR MANAGEMENT. We were being chased all over the world by SG to pay. We had to pay. Govt decided to sell the drillship to pay. So far, so good. The problem is not the sale of the ship.When you owe and intrest is accruing and your debtors are chasing you, you sell whatever assets you have and pay. The problem is where is the rest of the money? And also, why and how did we incurr such a colossal and gargantuan debt? That is the question.

K. Tawiah, far from that, i am not condoning fraud/Crime. I look at things from an objective point of view. Where is the fraud here? Apart from the $3m dollars? The last i heard, an employee of the bank of Ghana claimed the $3m dollars had been trasfered to Ghana Commercial Bank in UK. The problem is we do not and cannot do proper analysis of issues in this country. You cannot start labelling people as fraud or criminals without having all the facts. That is what is wrong. I did not even vote for NPP so i do not see your point here. Answer the following questions.

1. Was there a debt? Yes.
2. Did Ghana default on payments of this debt? Yes
3. Was there a court order to sell the ship to offset the debt or was it an individuals decision? Yet to be proved.
4. Was the sale of the ship used to payoff the debt? Yes.

The issue now should be where is the remaining $3m? We have to exhaust all available avenues at our disposal, before we start accusing people of crime.

Talk is cheap,anyone can talk but when it comes to reality,you need proof of transaction,ghanaians need to know what happened to thier $3million dollars?please take time and read carefully,if you are not a paid lawyer, the CEO wants the panel to know he has nothing to do with the transaction,or nothing to do with it at all,yes doesn't this surprise you? The man is testifying that the board of directors of GNPC has nothing to do. With either the sale or the disbursement of the funds or the missing funds.The NPP government can not provide any documents to support any transaction regarding the sale of this ship.how else do you establish fraud.please stop attacking people,you are all over the place.thanks

I like your vision. it does not matter, NDC or NPP or CPP or PNC. investigate and prosecute, collect the money back as if they had borrowed the money from mother ghana and ban them from public office for 8 years after payment is made. This will bring discipline and sanity in the system. Because mills did not investigate they are crying foul that documents have been discarded or burnt. whiles under mills watch, we see Woyome was paid and Martin Amidu was sacked for protesting as attorney General and recently got judgement for mother ghana. Is this fair to mother Ghana?

This is much ado about nothing. It does not take much digging around to find out what happened in 2001.

On the pages of Ghanaweb in 2001 appeared the story I am reproducing below. This is no issue of corruption. Everybody appears to have forgotten when sailors sent by GNPC on ships to Gabon and Angola became stranded and had to be rescued by the goverenment of the day. These sailors held press conferences with red armbands. I for one shall not be fooled by this government who want to spread blame around.

ACCRA, Sept 27 (Reuters) - Ghana's debt-ridden state-run Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) has laid off 80 percent of its staff as part of a major restructuring, its chief executive said on Thursday.

Ofori Quaah, who described the company as ``broke,'' said a total of 389 staff had been laid off and that GNPC would now concentrate on its core activities of promoting petroleum and gas exploration and production.

In the past GNPC has also been involved in telecoms, banking, gold and salt production as well as cocoa plantations.

``We've already scaled down substantially from where we were, say, three or four years ago. We want to concentrate on our core business,'' Quaah said.

Former chief executive Tsatsu Tsikata, who ran GNPC for 15 years, has been put under official investigation and forensic audit last month.

He has been accused by members of the government of overstretching the company's resources across too many sectors and saddling it with huge debts. Tsikata rejects the criticisms.

Government officials say GNPC owes some $26 million to Credit Suisse and Union Bank of Switzerland UBS , both of whom are demanding repayment.

Switzerland's Societe Generale de Surveillance won a ruling in a British court in June to have GNPC's Discoverer 511 drillship sold to defray a debt of $47 million.

Government officials also say the company spent $62.5 million to buy and refurbish six rigs and other marine assets, but the units have not been put into operation.

So was the story true then. You can now see how the same self-serving Quaah or whatever he called himself put this story about to vilify Tsikata. What the investigation has
thrown up is significantly different. Were Credit Suisse and UBS paid? How come we didn't hear anything? How come we didn't hear that he sold the drill ship to defray Tsikata's debt until now. Where are the six rigs and other marine assets? At least Tsikata bought assets with our money. the NPP sold the assets and we can not trace the money. Which one is better of the two evils?

I do not get your comments. After stretching a company too far with activities unrelated to GNPC's core business, how were they to defray the debt?

If your debts exceed your assets, what do you do to become solvent? Will you keep the assets and wallow in debts?

Dr Ofori Quaah is on this forum disputing today's reportage so don't take comfort from this story. The company was mismanaged and to keep afloat, they had to dispose of assets that were bringing in no revenue to be able to concentrate on its core business. When they did that, Dr Ofori Quaah and other unsung Ghanaians came up with the seismic mapping data that led to discovery of oil, which is now keeping the Ghanaian economy on life support machine.

Let us understand issues before we comment. Anyone can research into this story to track what happened. We are simply refusing to do that because of political expediency!

When you have deliberately set out to defend the indefensible? I am sure KT Hammond,the so-called senior law partner in Constance and Constance of London has been told to shut up, so as not to incriminate himself even more before he puts in a personal appearance before JDC. This is a smart legal advice, and I am glad he has thus far followed that wise advice of his counsel.
Every passing day brings more conflicting information from NPP 'surrogates' like Abdul Malik Kweku Baako and yourself. I believe the gentleman posed very direct and pertinent questions you have chose to side step: Whatever happened to the other GNPC indebtedness your culled information refers to? Why is Dr. Ofori Quaah now contrite about the manner in which the sale of the drill ship was carried out? And if the bizarre argument that has been advanced by Baako and his ilk is tenable- namely that the cabinet has the authority to supersede the actins of the GNPC or its board,why was Nana Addo,the then AG asking this fmr CEO to provide the govt`s exalted messenger,KT Hammond with a power of attorney? And this constant refrane you keep harping on about all the relevant being available for the taking is simply laughable. Why don`t you do everybody a big favour, and provide the commission with all the background documents so it can get on with its work? This is the second time you have provided 'information' that has not helpedto unravel the mystery surrounding this international transaction. Perhaps you can decide to contact the secretariat for the commission to provide the "further and better particulars that have eluded everybody,thus far!

Tsatsu has never denied that GNPC was sued for $47m dollars in the UK. Is anybody asking how GNPC got out of this mess? Why has SG, since 2001, not been chasing GNPC for its claims? It means someone settled it. If we care to find te truth, we can use judiciary channels to obtain the judgement from the UK. Why are we not doing that? POLITICS.

I am not privy to anything outside what has always been in the public domain since 2001. It was a mess that the NPP had to clean up. If you think the debt could have been reduced to Zero, ask Tsatsu. He was prepared to settle for $20m in 1998!

Instead you have raised points which do not advance this discussion. Why will SG complain after they essentially got a free pass in the litigation that was going against them. Btw what is to be gained by denying the fact that you been sued for a certain amount of money? What was outcome of the previous legal tussles in the US courts? And why was SG hesitating making certain disclosures during the discovery stage in the UK court?

Assuming there is a little truth to some of the things I read on the internet regarding Ghana, such as this article, I just can't believe what I read. All organizations such as the GNPC which is chartered under the laws of Ghana surely must have by-laws which guides the way such organizations are run. A C.E.O of such an organization also surely must know the by-laws. I am guessing here, but surely the disposition of an asset as substantial as this drill ship cannot be handled without a Board of Directors meeting. Just as much, a simple phone call from the Attorney General - any Attorney General should not be sufficient to carry out such an order. Something I n writing must be compelled. I am scratching my head trying to understand how the chronology of events described in this article is possible. Even if the Deputy Energy Minister had been delegated to undertake such activity as selling the drill ship, you would think that such should also instigate meetings within the Ministry of Energy so that multiple people will be aware of what is going on. It is truly incredible the shenanigans that has gone on.

Be astute and committed to checking this whale-gapping gap in honesty and seek the truth in this crime-ridden case. If the government is determined to serving the people of Ghana, then this nonsense should be publicly investigated and the culprits publicly stretched. This is the only way Ghanaians can cultivate any love for their country and countrymen. If this guy is not jailed by government, there will be no end to corruption giving rise to a society of nonsensical people. Anything short of a punitive punishment will only serve to discredit Mahama and the NDC. Why should this nonsense be happening whilst hard working civil servants suffer?

Somebody should be sent to prison for a long time. Ghanaman when is this stealing and corruption going to stop? You sent poor people who steal gari or kenkey to prison why not these white collar thieves. They do more harm to our country.

All these people should be accounted for. Rawlings, Kuffuor must be jailed.
Ghanians, we need to be strong and stop these people.

"... then Attorney General, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, to grant the Deputy Energy Minister at the time, K T Hammond, the power of attorney to deal with the negotiation of the sale, something he described as technically wrong." How can such a person be a elected president? "God no sleep".

Read the article carefully. Tsatsu incurred a foolish debt for Ghana. Rawlings sanctioned it. We had to pay. Govt was taking decisions above the head of GNPC. Ofori Quaah had to sign to enable asset (drillship) be sold to defray the debt. He did his duty to Ghana. What we have to concentrate on is how the judgement debt was created and how the proceeds of the sale were disbursed. We must account for all the money. All of you must remember that Tsatsu was Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief executive at one time. At other times, he was the chief executive without a board for a long time. He created this mess. Remember, he was Rawling's financial wizard. Today he is a "GREEDY BASTARD"

All those involve should be sent to jail. It makes me laugh when i see NPP leaders calling NDC leaders thieves. All that NPP did for 8 years was to sell ghanas asert and shear the money.

I don't think you can read with understanding. What did Akuffo Addo do in it? When we want to retrieve Woyome, GYEEDA, SADA and ISOFOTON money you want to blindfold us with a ship that was sold by NDC thieves and make it seem like Nana the most respected Ghanaian on the planet did something wrong. Say that to your fada and tell Jon mahama that he is a thief, a fool and an idiot.

It is very sad Ghanaians has no feelings for the country and it is time government officers should be made to account for their stewardship when they leave office.It is also not too late for those involved in the sale of the drillship be brought to the fast-track court,Because setting up of enquirers are waste of time and money.All assets of those corrupt officials should be sold to cover the cost,when they are found guilty of causing financial loss to the state. The president at the time,should not be spared, if he is also involved.

Your comments are some of the reasons our people remain hewers of wood and fetchers of water! We must condemn corruption wherever it rears its ugly head, be it in NPP or NDC.

That's the only way we can ensure that pupils don't study under trees and the five year old children stop selling iced-water by the roadside instead of being at school.

God help us.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? YOU INCURR DEBTS AND THEN YOU DON'T WANT TO PAY? DO YOU THINK THE WORLD WILL STOP FOR US? WE DO FOOLISH THINGS, GET INTO DEBT AND THEN WE REFUSE TO PAY. SELLING THE DRILLSHIP WAS NECESSARY. THE ISSUE IS NOT THE DECISION TO SELL. THE ISSUE IS WHERE IS THE REST OF THE MONEY, AND HOW DID WE GET INTO THAT MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE?

The Head Caption of this publication is very so misleading when compared to the body of the publication. How can somebody who was not privy to the sale negotiations of the ship and its disposition erred?
