IT IS THIS KIND OF GULLIBILITY WHY GHANA IS IN A MESS. EVERYTHING IS INTERPRETED IN POLITICAL,TRIBAL, AND SPIRITUAL TERMS. REFUSAL TO ACCEPT CONCLUSIONS FROM HARDCORE ANALYTICAL EVIDENCE IS WHAT IS DESTROYING GHANA.

It is not for nothing that Bank of Ghana had deliberately set the exchange rate of the cedi to the dollar at 3.03 since middle of June; it was designed to scam the diaspora or Ghanaian overseas who have been making remittances to their loved ones at home.

This is the characteristic "shepherd's crook" shape of an Ebola virus.

What is Ebola?
Ebola is a virus in the Filovirus family. The only other known member of this family is Marburg virus which appeared in a minor outbreak in Germany in the 1960’s. There are four known strains of Ebola thus far. These strains are known as Ebola-Ivory Coast, Ebola-Sudan, Ebola-Zaire, and Ebola-Reston, based on the locations where they were first identified.

Filovirus Characteristics
Members of the Filovirus family are long and stringy and typically resemble spaghetti noodles or shepherd’s crooks. Their genetic material is stored in the form of RNA.

Filoviruses are transmitted through direct contact with infected humans, infected animals, or the vector. However, the vector for these viruses has yet to be discovered, but is assumed to be an animal.

1.BAWUMIA suggested that something is not right with the figures that it should be looked into.Its not a demand but a caution.

2. It could take days to acertain the veracity of Bawumia's claims not couple of days

3. If you believe in what you are doing, you rather focus than allow yourself to be distracted

NDC has never told the truth. They are liars and will die lying. Even when Mills was dying, they said he was as fit as a fiddle and they turned around to slaughter him like goat. NDC??? God will punish them bad~ jon Mahama is a thief. He has damaged the country's economy so much so that it will be extremely difficult for Nana Addo to repair it but since the battle is the Lords' it will all be well. Jon Mahama is so wicked and must be put to jail even before 2016. Anything coming out of NDC ministers are all lies. No one in NDC speaks the truth. No wonder they are lying about bank rates, inflation and the economic conditions in Ghana. Mahama is a thief. He came only to enrich himself and his family. I hear he wants to opt out of the flagbearership but the truth of the matter is, he cannot continue no more. The kitchen is too hot for him and he wants to get out of it. Whether he runs away or not he will be chased after wherever he goes so that he gives us back all our money he has stolen since his mission as vice and now president of Ghana.
Mahama is the corrupt one. Enough evidence to prove that. The STX Korea , the purchase of the Embraer jet planes from Brazil which had him subjected to criminal investigation by Prof Mills, the 7 tons of gold intercepted in Kuwait, the Azontaba guinea fowl project and the list go on. And above all, Mahama, being the the prime beneficially of the plot assassination of Prof Mills, makes the former the most dangerous leader, after Rawlings, to have ever ruled and badly manage our economy. Mahama is unprecedented stealer.

It is always a good policy for governmental agencies and staff of government involved with sensitive policy decisions such Finance, Statistics and other socio-political affairs should desist from political agents and party politics. That is the reason why civil service employees are precluded from platform political campaigns. Iknow for sure that Dr. Bawumia should know better to stretch his political campaign to government monetary and financial policies. Ghanaians should stay away from political popularism to make political points in matters that involve international stability of our national security. If Bawumia is keenly interested in real answers instead of trying to score political points from his political hudlums he has more access than many to seek audience from the honorable Governor of Bank of Ghana and the Government Statistician to get credible answers.
Politics being what it is sometimes so called Intelligent people, such as Bawumia, should not be shooting his mouth uncontrollably to score political points on sensitive national matters.

It is always said that, those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Our nation deserves better from its citizens than yellow journalism that is being practices in Ghana for full hardy politics.

Thanks for reading and listening. Long Live our homeland, Ghana.

The insults do not help our cause. Those of us with facts contrary to those articulated by the gentleman must bring them out. That will serve our purposes better.If we turned all serious discussions into the trading of insults, we are dragging the name of our great party into disrepute. The figures were not published by our party. Let the bureaucrats answer for their work.For all you know they were typographical errors, and they will come out soon to explain to the chagrin of Bawumia.
And please, stop this business of people eroding investment confidence in Ghana. Serious investors don't give a damn about what you say or what Bawumia says. They base their investment decisions on facts and figures- correct figures and hard core facts.

Bank of Ghana is not obliged to respond to silly comments from disappointed politicians.

Bawumia does his best to be socially provocative.

Vodoo-Dwarfs economists and statisticians, what do they have to say?
Since they put out those huuhuudious figures, if they were accurate wouldn't they have responded a long time ago? Shame on them. Academic puppets!!!

When you can only lie to refute an allegation you are better off keeping mute than to talk to be labelled a liar. However, when you are mute people will draw their conclusion to the obvious.... A Liarrrrr

Perhaps the renumeration of the Spin Doctors has been chopped and that may be the reason for the silence or are they waiting till just elections to answer Bawumia.

What do we have to expect from Bank of Ghana and the Ghana Statistical Service? They have been caught up in their own trap of lies and propaganda. They have been exposed and therefore have no defence. They would not want to diosgrace themselves again. Hence the silence. Some renowned economists in the country have come out in support of what Dr. Bawumiah has indicated. You see, most government institutions do similar things just to defend the indefensible, all in the name of propaganda. Shame Dr. Wampah, shame BoG, Shame GSS!!!.

I still continue to ask a question, why should anyone still follow NDC? All what they know is lying and even when caught, they do not apologize. What a government.

For me it simply means the two institutions and those working there are people whose competence must be questioned. A student who has studied SSS economics would do a better job. If not it another strategy to loot our foreign exchange into private pockets at this unrealistic rate. I kindly request the the BoG makes available to the dollar at this rate for my business.

If the intent of the publishers at the New Crusading Guide is to tout Dr. Bawumia's childish expose as the gospel truth then it shows that journalism in Ghana is not what its cracked up to be. Anyone who follows the ups and down of the world major currency, the US dollar, knows that it has fluctuated between a ratio of US$1.50 to 1 UK pound sterling and US$2.45 to UK pound sterling. Yet at no time has Dr Bawumia, when at the BoG, or now explained how in general consumer prices on most goods stay low in the US year in and year out even when the US dollar falls beyond expectation.
Could it be that a fraction fall of Ghana’s currency value more than adversely affects imports that in turn affect prices of most home grown products without cause? When was the ration between the Ghana cedi and US dollar ever changed hands officially at GhCedi 1.50 : US$1? Yet according to our arbitrary number scheme at one time it was feasible to have done so. A look at oil which tend to affect gasoline prices in the US seem not to adhere to economic principles of supply and demand but to the future market which lags behind real economic activities. The New Crusading Guide should not be using tempestuous economic activities in Ghana that is manipulated by opposition parties as proof of good or bad economic times in Ghana, any idiot can influence economic activities in Ghana including Dr. Bawumia and his phony statistics.

If the cedi has already fallen 40 percent this year, how can the change in inflation be 1.5%. Bank interest rates are around 30%. Does the government of the NDC think we are all as dumb as Jerry Rawlings?
