Yes, it's quite unfortunate but you have to understand that he was brought exactly for his thieving expertise! Who better to know how to siphon the gas proceeds into the pockets of the NDC looting brigade Naija style?

What is this arrogant brat's "Dr" in? Management or science? Any good manager should take accountability for the failure of its project for failing to meet its timeline since it has a very serious budgetary and financial implications.
But due to the widespread corruption coupled with a president who himself is corrupt nobody is held accountable for any project failure and over-runs with it serious financial ramifications. This is sad. Not until these excesses and waste are reduced and/or removed from the mentality of Ghanaians development will continue to elude us no matter how many National Economic Forums will hold in Ghana.

" The strategy of Ghana Gas is we are very ambitious" Really?? Ambition is your strategy? If Ghana were some civilized society, this thief would be behind bars!

God should really help Ghana in the form of a coup to stop this 'blood-letting' of Ghana's finances which are ending up in people's personal swiss accounts.

This guy takes Ghanaians for granted with this attitude of arrogance. NDC has been in power for nearly six years and still unable to deliver the gas infrastructure development project on time and you say you have been ambitious? When Ghana is crying for gas from Nigeria and the natural gas is 100% for Ghana, this project should have been given the urgency and topmost priority by government. If Ghana had 10% with 90 going to foreign companies, it would have been built within a year. It appears Ghanaians cannot managed anything successfully.

When you have failed to meet your own schedule several times and you turn around calling it ambitious. JDM should fire this failed guy. This project is one of the reasons for the current economic problems

GHANA HAS BEEN RAPED BY NDC IDIOTS. WE DO NOT NEED ANY NATIONAL ECONOMIC FORUM, WE NEED A NATIONAL COURT OF JURISDICTION TO PUT MAHAMA AND HIS CABINET ON TRIAL. GHANA'S HOPELESS ECONOMIC SITUATION, TODAY, IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. NDC HAS OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS PRESIDED OVER THE BIGGEST RESOURCES IN OUR HISTORY INCLUDING CRUDE OIL & STEALTH TAXES. THEY HAVE ALSO CONTRACTED THE BIGGEST LOANS IN OUR HISTORY. IF THEY HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR THIS AND THE ECONOMY IS IN SHAMBLES, THEN,THEY MUST BE PROSECUTED. THEY MUST GIVE THE MONEYS BACK TO THE TREASURY. WE DO NOT NEED ANY ECONOMIC FORUM. SET UP A COURT IMMEDIATELY. IT HAPPENED IN THAILAND RECENTLY

This thief and his front man Chris Wilmot with the support of Bua and Kwesi Botwey have siphoned over 30 million dollars from this project through land dealings, sole sourcing of to companies they have vested interest in, over inflating of project costs, etc. These guys are crooks in suits who need to be prosecuted for perpetuating gargantuan fraud on the country.

Sometime our appointed officials make statements that are annoying to say the least. This is a guy who was appointed to head a state enterprise and tells us he does not owe anyone apology for not meeting expectations. If it was his own company, I will think he would have been everywhere trying to assure his customers.

GNGC must create a clearly demarcated security zone around the gas pipeline.

No unauthorised person should be allowed anywhere near the pipeline. This must be backed by law, with provision for prosecution with hefty penalties for trespassers.

The Western corridor gas project is key to energy production. We must expedite work on it to ensure regular gas supply to our thermal plants and thus boost electricity generation.

Inspite of all his education and talk, the guy has not changed although, we taight he learnt a lesson or two to be humble after doing time in prison for corruption under Kufor. throwing his weight about like when he first sauntered unto the political scene. The good people of Ghana cuts your pay check, odorkpo Yankey. "No apologies for not meeting time line..." This is exactly what the Supreme military Council I/II did before the NCOs booted them out of office. They flaunted the ill-gotten wealth, went after other people's wives and whatever theyu deemed fit to them. You have not changed, Yankey. Ghana now abounds with numerous 27 year olds with PHd all over the world. You folks are no longer supposedly the preserve of academia.

Project Managers can justify all kinds of expenditures[giving rise to huge cost over-runs]to bring schedules back into line. Officials of Ghana Gas have played this game to perfection,and we should therefore be prepared for the horror stories when all is said and done! The excuses and the constantly shifting project completion dates have been too many!
