Under incompetent, corrupt, deceitful, dishonest, liar, rapist,
incompetent fool Dramani Mahama administration, Ghana is already on the verge of going to HIPIC if not already in it.
Ghanaian People have to understand and accept that, no country can go to
HIPIC twice as a result under this puppet administration of that prostitute Mahama if we do not force him out of power and leave him and his NDC thieves dand corrupt to continue, sooner or later our country
would be sold to the Nigerians for a peanut.
Ghana is now a hopeless State under
NDC Government.

The fight against corruption, abuse of power and impunity must be proactive and not reactive. We do not need to wait to be charged with poor leadership in fighting it before reacting in seeking to show leadership where we had all the opportunity but failed to be proactive.
Good leaders act; they do not wait to react to situations. Ghanaians will have difficulty electing another President from the geo-political north which the President and myself come from for more than thirty years after he has left office should this President fail to fight corruption, abuse of office and impunity in obedience to our ancestors and God during his tenure of office. Mark my words!

In the foreseeable future it is highly unlikely that Ghana will again be granted HIPC status . Basic structural reforms are necessary for Ghana even to be eligible. Eliminating taxes on condoms and outboards does not suggest any serious attempt to address the severe fiscal weaknesses in the economy.

In the interim the politicians are grabbing whatever they can for themselves, because once the country defaults, there will be no fresh incoming funds for a long time.

What at all do these kokoase economists including their Bawuamia want us to believe? On paper, a total debt to GDP ratio of more than 50.00% appears frightening, however, the accepted threshhold in the EU is 60%. The size of the ratio alone is inconsequential. The question we should be asking is: is this level sustainable? The last time I checked, Canada's ratio is 84.60%, Britain's is: 88.70, Portugal's is: 124.10% and the US's is: 101.60%. Indeed,the lowest is: Suadi Arabia with 3.50% and the highest is: Japan with 211.70%. Nevertheles, no one is making any noise and painting bleak futures for countries with higher debt to GDP ratios than Ghana's except half-baked economists of NPP. Stop the noise and let us develop our country.

Ghana is unfortunately incapable of running it`s own financial and economic matters. Maybe it`s time for a British Govenour intead of an indegenous President!?

The trademark of NDC is to crumble and send Ghana to HIPC. Then the task is for NPP to take Ghana out of HIPC. MAHAMA=CORRUPTION, NDC=PROPAGANDA!!!
Under incompetent, corrupt, deceitful, dishonest, liar, rapist,
incompetent fool Dramani Mahama administration, Ghana is already on the verge of going to HIPIC if not already in it.
Ghanaian People have to understand and ...

Why worry about the 53.7 billion debt? the money was spent on Ghanaians and they will pay for it through taxes. We are going to increase taxes gradually to pay off the debt and Ghana will be freeeeee.
Illiterate idiot, when you owe more than your GDP as Ghana was in 2000, DEBT 7.8 billion, GDP, 3.8 billion and nobody is willing to loan you money, you will not have any option. Your Rawlings left Ghana with massive debts an ...

After receiving so much as HIPC reliefs, Osei, have you asked greedy thief Kufour what he did with those reliefs? Are you not aware of the debt he left behind? Stop wasting our ears
Do you know how crook, arm robber, rapist, deceitful, dishonest, a liar
and total confusionist Mahama and his NDC are?
Now as someone is asking, do you feel comfortable to see the way rapist and corrupt Mahama and his NDC ...

Go and ask John Mahama and the finance minister where the HIPC benefits went to,you are part of those idiots that the NDC has managed to brainwashed.The benefits were spread over a period which the current govt is enjoying.

THE SYMBOL OF CORRUPTION IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD (WWW) IS GREEDY THIEF JOHN AGYEKUM KUFFOUR?
It has got everything to do with that greedy thief Kufour. But because you have chosen to be blind you will never see GOOD AND PROGRESSIVE developments in this country under Atta Mills & Mahama. You will forever remain BLIND
See, Shamless,doctor, Pure liar, as the time ghanaians kicked you and the npp out office,kufour left a little over $8b debt, after all the HIPC benefits. So professional and born liar, give us a break.
Tell those crooks, Ghanaians have not forgotten the NPP's eight years of dolling moneys to elephant boys and shashies from Polythen-rubber bags, Drill ship's money, acquisition of hotels, etc

Mr Bedzo: Political affiliations are irrelevant here. If you are bankrupt your creditors do not care about your politics, they want to know how you are going to pay the money back. As Ghana has no plans for that, nobody is go ...

IS THAT THE FIRS TIME GHANA HAS GONE HIPC? DIDNT KUFOUR SEND US THERE AND PERSONALLY BENEFITTED FROM ALL THE PROCEEDS? NO PRESIDENT IN GHANA EVER DID THAT SO WHAT'S NEW?
You dont even understand how a country becomes HIPC.Rawlings and NDC 1 made Ghana a Highly Indebted Poor Country-HIPC as they are doing now and Kuffour assessed the conditions attached to bring us out.
So your idea is to go back to HIPC again? WOW this is a fresh breeze. Isn't this the reason why Ghana with all its blah blah blah is still wallowing in filth, poverty, mismanagement and foolish talk? Let's get real, its not a ...

Well said. And the future of our kid's kids. Any crumbs to spare (from the strictest financial management) will go on servicing Ghana's debts for generations to come. A people locked into poverty.
IF IN 5 YRS THIS OUR DEBT STOCK,THEN GHANA IS BURDENED WITH SOO MUCH DEBT.NDC IS REALLY A DISGRACE TO GHANA AND THE WORLD
This is no news. The NDC has done it before and can and will do it again.It has been their trait and part of their genes, and you know genes never change. The brains of NDC are used for failure
Mismanagement galore. This is a nation of non thinkers, period! I mean we pick any jack from the street without managerial accomplishment and we vote them into power. Look at our Ministers, parliamentarians, DCE's etc. What a ...

Did you tell Kufuor this
These dull, inexperienced and brainless northerners are making a big mess of our economy. Some of them can't even speak English (Haruna, the Minister).
What a shame.
But most of them believe that they are smart because of the free subvention ie (Ghana's affirmative action)they had to go to school free in the north.

We are stuck. Gh is run by cattle fuckers
This time there will be no writing off of the debt under HIPC arrangements as that was a 'one off' deal. This time the debt will have to be paid in full and the nation will have to suffer the consequences.
WE WILL NEVER FORGIVE NDC MAHAMA FOR MISTAKENLY APPLYING THE REVERSE GEAR INSTEAD OF THE FIRST GEAR,
THE GEO NORTH WILL NEVER FORGIVE HIM FOR DAMAGING THEIR CHANCES OF LEADING THE COUNTRY IN A CONTESTING ELECTIONS,
