  Your boss in the Golden Jubilee House has been cited for fronting for his brother in corrupt deals with Merchant Bank. Vent your frustrations there and give us a break. Kobi Fiagbe wee smoker.

  It is funny that every bad news affecting Ghana has come by way of Ghana's elite class mostly trained in Europe, specifically the UK. We know of a few from the US A like some East coast (New York, Virginia) based Ghanaian criminals who come to bamboozle their way into the Ghana political scene or the AMA boss who lost his post as a Superintendent of an independent school District in South Carolina but came to Ghana to manage the capital city; go figure.
  Now we see the political stealing and cut-throat mismanagement has been at the hands of people who have lived and worked or educated, lived and worked in the UK. This should be a reminder to everyone that Ursula Owusu, the loud-mouth obnoxious creature, a member of parliament who got married to a Ghanaians living in the UK some few months ago is about to screw Ghana if it’s the last thing she can do to get rich of a sorry Ghana incapable of calling it thieves out.

  Mr. President never worry when they abuse you instead of encouraging you. God really brought you into the presidency because He knows your heart is better than Akuffo Addo and many others.
  
  They will intentionally like to frustrate you because they are afraid of your open genuine heart and the sincerity at which you work. Your setting up of the judgement debt committee talks about your good works.
  
  Many of them will fail to support you because they are upset by the clean steps you started with, which in real sense the aim is to expose every wrong doers.
  
  Stay focus because will use you to save Ghana from the hands of the wicked ones in politics with the devil's mind of stealing of the nation because they have excluded God from the affairs of Ghana. God for certainty is working with you President Mahama.
  
  It will be difficolt to accept but in
  truth, there is nobody at present in the NPP who can lead Ghana with clean heart. If there may be at all, then it is not now, because the people now in the party have targeted being rich soon hence their chances of being honest in their dealings for Ghana is very slim. Ghana needs practical politicians with hearts of compassion and understanding of being a leader of a nation.

  I have stated repeatedly that Kan-Dapaah knows more about the drill ship matter than he has told Ghanaians. It was Kan-Dapaah who pointed fingers at Tsatsu Tsikata as the culprit in the drill ship affair, all along as a cover-up for the secret dealings involving the sale of the rig.
  
  This story here makes Kweku Baako a liar with his fictional version of the details of the drill ship sale and disbursement of the proceeds.
  
  I trust Judge Apau will get to the bottom of this drill ship scandal located at the door step of the Kufuor administration officials.
  
  Kan-Dapaah is soiling his underpants at this point. And Kwame Pianim must be man enough to exculpate himself from the accusation leveled against him here.
