If NDC is corrupt then what will you say of NPP who were into govt to grab and loot anything at all. Where is Jake the grabber of Govt. bungalow and the now the Landlord of Govt. bungalow. How about the looters of the defunct Int. Students Hostel lands at Airport now housing the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. How about Ghana Airways properties all over the World shared during NPP era. Rather they are saying NDC is corrupt. May be NPP has another definition for CORRUPTION. God saves mother Ghana

this matter of hammah is the most serious of all as it proves most importantly that the verdict was tampered with. her greed is of no consequence as it isnt impossible to make a million if after 8 years on invests her earnings into real estate development for example which actually proves her estimate to be right . what is damning here is the fact that pepeni's pillow talk is leading the country into a constitutional crisis if he doesn't resign or is impeached with a immediate effect. by sacking her admits to her letting the cat out of the bag that he bribed the judges and is therefor an illegitimate president with an illegitimate govt. we consider any decision from today onwards nun and void and not binding . any loan or monies spent we shall not honor , also to the weak npp we say to you also , participating in this sweep under the carpet and lets get back to business as usual is more than just shameful. the institutions of state such as the army , police bni , judicial should all be telling us they are conducting investigations and are ready to arrest pepeni and the culprits immediately as the true rule of law must be upheld . pepeni start packing .as was Mary Magdalena instrumental so is Victoria mahama we love you and shall even marry your harlot ashawo ass as you have been unwittingly an instrument of God in once again exposing these pepeni and ayigbe criminals . long live the republic of Akan

Cheap property for NDC members to buy for free. The president wants them to finish the unfinished business began by Rawlings. All should be gone by 2016 so none would be left anyone government that comes afterwards.

WE NEED COUP D'ETAT TO RESTORE HOPE TO THE YOUTH IN GHANA. PRESIDENTS AFTER PRESIDENTS GO ROUND THE GLOBE SPENDING MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF TAXPAYERS MONEY LOOKING FOR FOREIGN INVESTORS. BUT WHAT WE HAVE OURSELVES THEY DON'T WANT TO INVEST IN IT.

BELIEVE YOU ME, IT TAKES LESS THAN 200,000 GHC TO REVAMP THE KOFORIDUA EREDEC HOTEL TO GIVE EMPLOYEMENT. BUT THEY WANT TO SELL IT CHEAPLY TO THE CRONIES.

IF SUCH PROPERTIES ARE SOLD IS IT NOT THE SAME GHANAIANS WHO ARE GOING TO WORK IN THERE? SO WHY GOVT CANT ENFORCE A BIT OF WORK DISCIPLINE IN ITS WORKERS BUT ALWAYS UNDER THE GUISE OF INEFFICIECY TO SELL STATE PROPERTIES?

Kofi rest assured NDC is not like NPP the grabbers and looters of Govt properties. Under John Mahama, Ghana will surely benefit and Ghanaians will be the winners and not some selected "NPP" Ghanaians. God bless Ghana

Now the die is cast and no amount of witchery or prayers can ever prevent the doom of dear nation Ghana under this doomed president. He is totally a failure even United States as a pure capitalist state, has some socialistic policies for the good of the commoners or the middleclass what a shame.

So, why was there a need for the Ghana Armed Forces to be represented. Is it just the NDC coddling? How is her Cannery doing. And how about the fruit farm?

This is a diaappointing brief. The President and his team do not have any ideas about how they can make these businesses come back into life and profitable.

There is nothing wrong with the State in business .It seems there is a dogmatic belief that the state should not be owning and running these businesses. This is sad and an old thinking in this day and age of sovereign funds and giant businesses such as Emirates Airlines.

With all members of the Board drawn from the Public Sector it is no surprise these Boards do not do well.

We have private sector Companies in Ghana such as Unilever, British Airways and many others who are as much interested in the success if these Companies. Their Directors I am sure are too willing to help and will serve on these Boards if they are approached

PMI Statement on Theft and Illegal Diversion of Malaria Medicines

The U.S. Government strongly condemns the theft and illegal diversion of medicines that are intended to cure malaria in the most vulnerable populations in Sub-Saharan Africa – pregnant women and children under-five years old, reported in Thieves Hijacking Malaria Drugs in Africa, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), November 11, 2013. This is not the first report of theft or illegal diversion.

In 2010, the U.S. President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI)-funded ACTs intended for use in public sector clinics in several East African countries were found being sold in informal pharmacies and medicine vendors in West African countries. Further reports have been received since then, documenting additional instances of theft involving drugs and other malaria commodities financed by PMI, as well as the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria in several African countries.

Illegal diversion occurs when a genuine pharmaceutical product is approved and intended for use in one country, but is then illegally intercepted and sold in another country. Diversion is not a malaria problem alone but impacts disease treatments in many different countries and high value product markets.

There have been no reported thefts of PMI-financed commodities from the point of manufacture while in transit to the country. As documented by the WSJ article, evidence suggests that antimalarial medicine theft occurred outside direct U.S. Government control, within recipient country systems.

If there is repeated evidence of theft, corruption or fraud, PMI has taken the step in several countries of withdrawing PMI-funded commodities from national government controlled supply systems and channeling them through a non-governmental parallel system. At the same time, PMI works to strengthen national supply chain management systems and safeguards so that malaria commodities can be returned to the national system as soon as possible. PMI has a comprehensive strategy to address the issue.

The U.S. Government has taken programmatic and diplomatic steps to identify and combat theft and misappropriation of medicines procured with U.S. Government funding and has referred information to the USAID Office of the Inspector General and other law enforcement officials.

We continue to work with recipient country stakeholders at all levels to improve the accountability, transparency and performance of supply chains to ensure that the integrity of our programs is maintained and the intended beneficiaries are served. This includes national governments, medical stores and local institutions to strengthen oversight to ensure the safe delivery of drugs and other malaria commodities to the end user.

We are making use of all available diplomatic, public health, and law enforcement channels to counter the theft and illegal diversion of malaria drugs.

Why does the govt need a Commission to sell these four properties: a catering house, a GNTC store or house, a couple of disused and idle factories with outdated equipment. Why don't you just put it up for sale in the news papers, have a public auction and sell them to the highest bidder. All you need is an auctioneer, not a Commission with a legal department. What a wasteful, inefficient and stupid way to do things. No wonder this country never moves anywhere and it is raped constantly by its corrupt elites.
