It does not make sense if the bank is getting $38m in a couple of weeks, then why are they trying to sell the bank for peanuts?

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.

Baako thank you for the indepth follow through of Ibrahim Mahama's indebtedness and how he will pay Merchant Bank. Good.
With the same/equal energy follow up on the other debtors such as Appiah Menkah etc and ensure that they are given equall publicity at least in you New Crusading Guide and Daily Guide toilet papers. Let us know when and how they will pay. Then advise SSNIT to suspend the sale of the Bank, but rather re-engineer management of the distressed bank.

Is Kweku Baako, the PR person for Engineers & Planners? Is Kweku Baako an employee of Engineers and Planners, authorized to see financial papers of the company? Or is Kweku Baako a pathetic publicity accomplice of the crooked plot to let the Mahamas go scot-free with their acquisition of a family jet? Eating from both the NPP and NDC bowls?

It's only in Ghana that these self-styled "journalist" get away with illegal acquisition of documents, wiretapping, and secret filming. They should pay close attention to what has happened to Rupert Murdoch and his now-defunct News of the World tabloid. One of these days a legal suit will set their arses right.

How can the possession of a document - and an unauthorized document in hands of an unauthorized person - be proof of Ibrahim Mahama's ability to pay his debt?

We are not fools. We know Merchant Bank has been undersold illegally by President Mahama in order to enable the buyers, Fortiz, to absorb the debt. Whatever Ibrahim Mahama pays is coming from the profit Fortiz (an entity with suspicious ties to President Mahama) made in its crooked acquisition of Merchant Bank

Ibrahim should pay the loan. Even if he has to sell his private jet and pay it, he should do so to avert any future calamity. he doesn't pay, he will one day pay for that.

Did you know that Mr Blaise Mankwa the former MD of Merchant Bank made the loan of $38 million to E&P without recourse to the board of the bank? Did you know that he flouted many internal rules and regulations of the bank to grant that loan? Did you know he was chased out of the bank for making that loan? Did you know that after his sacking he found refuge in the then vice president Maham's office as an unofficial aide? Did you know that he is now a big shot financial advisor to the president? Did you know that he is a member of the team that negotiated the sale of the bank to Fortiz? Interesting times we live in indeed.

Its inappropriate for one adviser to act for fortz,prez and e&p in certain matters,such as negotiating a share price without appropriate safeguards. This threatens objectivity because Ibrahim mahama may try to exert influence to understate price over the prez, as his brother and others, as well as the lawyer. Its important to note that in this particular case there is no adequate disclosure and no appropriate safeguards. Therefore for kweku baako to continue to support such a short-change, i am very upset. Indeed,if in the face of these amazing revelations, kweku baako is still vouching for e&p and selectively producing documents in favour of them, then he has lost my respect forever.

Kweku Baako has not seen the trick in the whole transaction yet.If even the money is paid as Kweku is speculating the money will go to the new unknown owners of the bank.It is anyone's guess who these people are.

Kwaku Baako shouldn't confuse anyone with the humongous Merchant Bank loan which has not been paid by E & P, for a long time, until now that it has become to the notice of the public. The thing is that NDC called ex-Prez. Kuffour all sorts of names when his son secured a loan to buy a private hotel. I wonder if it's okay for John Mahama's brother to secure a big loan from Merchant Bank, but wrong for Chief Kuffour to get a smaller loan for his business. This kind of hypocricy is what is killing Ghana and people like Kwaku Baako shouldn't forget to point things out.
