This ploy to entice naive new sucker investors to come so these corrupt govt officials can blackmail into giving bribes or fleece them is an old trick that only an idiot will fall for . imagine the nerve of trying to force genuine patriots to take part and give this some semblance of credibility . show us first you have a worthy cabinet not full of pepeni/ ayigbe idiots but appointed based on merit and ral performance . all you fakes starting from Ato Ahwoi and Hannah tetteh who pretend to be fantis to represent the fantis but are not . lying barstards of the betraying treacherous character like nketia and boateng gyan continue you war and anti Akan agenda but we are vigilant and will make sure the rule of law and justice is established so you will all languish in jail sooner or later , thus says the LORD

A FOOL ALWAYS BLAMES THE WHITE MAN and Christianity. WHO LIVES IN THE HOUSE (Afica)? Who owns the domiciliary rights? Always blaming the white man for your stupidity, laziness and so you remain backward because you never learn form your mistakes, but rather blame others.

Mr Kofi Annan, please use the insightful knowledge gleaned from working with these white investors to educate Ghanaian leaders.
We have become all too trusting and subservient to foreign ideologies. It's about time Ghana charge fairly for our natural resources, which are being taken away from us in truck loads.
Let's start by getting rid of all the illegal Chinese miners and re negotiate our contracts made with foreign oil investors and all other unscrupulous foreign investors in Banking,Commerce and Technology.
Africa has become an easy target for exploitation and our leaders are not too sure about their responsibilities, or rather too busy filling their pockets to notice the inequality in the contracts they engage in. It's time Ghana realise that the white skin does not represent righteousness and any foreign investor is looking after their own interest.
Who is standing up for Ghana and Africa, for that matter. Our present day leaders are useless and incompetent to say the least.
Mr Kofi Annan, please join forces with Lord Boateng and use your collective acquired knowledge in International Relations to win back the control of governance to Ghana.
Your Country needs you!!!

Has Kofi Annan forgot that his son is part of the problem? If he really has the nation at heart, then he has to dissuade his son from aiding and abetting---because, his corrupt son has his hands deep inside the oil industry!

He has not blamed the white man. He has just criticized Goverments of Africa not doing enough to abolish poverty. Beside he pointed out people performing illegal fisheri. That is a fact! Should he kept his mouth shut, just because white people are involved in this criminal acts? So no he is not portraying a character just like any muslim brothers. By the way he has no muslim brother. So hold Muslims, Israel and Palestine out of the discussion. You are just denying facts. Kofi Annan is a great and brave man who dare to criticize corruption and thinks about his African brothers.

It's African leaders, especially in Ghana who connive and collude with foreign investors to loot the resources of Africa out of the country. For example, in Ghana, it is politicians and civil servants who agree to be used by foreigners to establish a Ghanaian subsidiary of a foreign company so that contracts and agreements with the state will avoid approval from parliament only for the foreign company to turn round to sue the state and claim millions of dollars in judgement debt when things go wrong. Again, it is Ghanaian officials who allow foreign companies 5-year tax free concession and after five years the company is declared bankrupt and form a new company to gain from another five-year tax free concession whilst all the profits are repatriated abroad. This is very common in the extractive industries.
Why should the foreigners be blamed for Africans failing to enforce their own laws, rules and regulations?

Surely foreigners cannot rob us without our leaders allowing this to happen.Corruption by Ghanaians placed in positions of responsibility plays a critical role here. Just like in the days of slavery,white people could not have carried up to 50 million Africans into slavery without the connivance and assistance of some of our own ancestors. In that sense religious people who say that this dastardly action by our ancestors brought a curse on Africa may well be right. But even so do we not have it in our power to break this "curse" by acting honorably towards own people?

Mr Kofi Annan must remember that these foreign companies and financial institutions would not have been able to take advantage of this country and its resources WITHOUT THE ACTIVE CONNIVANCE OF OUR OWN PEOPLE PLACED IN POSITIONS OF RESPONSIBILITY.To the present day Ghanaians tasked with setting up deals on behalf of the nation see nothing wrong with taking kickbacks in return for allowing foreign companies and financial institutions to rob our people. A VERY IMPORTANT ASPECT OF THE PROBLEM IS THE ROLE PLAYED BY OUR OWN REPRESENTATIVES WHO HAVE NO CONSCIENCES. These people in my book are nation wreckers and are no different in morality than those of our people who about 300 years ago helped to capture black people to be sold as slaves to whites in Europe and America.

How on earth will foreign business men give 20 % to a country and take 80% for the resources of a country that they do not owe? Many African countries are suffering from poverty because of this bad business practices and Ghana is not an exception. Foreign organizations who are mining our gold, petrol and other natural resources are not helping. They are stealing from us and offering little percentages to our resources. When can we say this is enough and we do not need such business people in Africa? Kofi Anna is hundred percent right for bring this out. They should be transparency in the way these groups of thieves are doing to our economies
