Amoateng took drugs to usa and what did they do to him? Kennedy was assassinated and deposed unconstitutionally. Yet, he was named after the biggest airport in America. In Ghana, we reward stupidity!

You are right! Yes my name is Williams Zoogah. I was the chief accountant at the NSS from 2006 to 2009, whereupon I was forced to resign because I stood up for my share of the returns of the ghost names money. Yes within the short period that I was transferred from Bolga, I made billions from the NSS: I have a mansion in Adenta, a four square compound house at madina, an estate in Takoradi, 2 houses in Bolga. I had no problems resigning in 2009 because I had already set up a micro finance company in Bolgatanga. We stole the money through insertion of ghost names, use of the borehole drilling machine at the NSS plus other lucrative schemes. People just admire me because I stole NSS money and became rich. No one ever questioned me on how i made my money though they all know I have no business on earth. Haahahaha. Now I drive around in a powerful V8. Hahaha catch me if you can!

“It will take a president committed to weeding out corruption to fight it. It is the government that can make sure we stamp out corruption. Individuals can’t fight corruption and it takes leadership and that is what has been lacking.”

But what if the President himself is corrupt. Then my friends we are dead until we get rid of him.
But what if the said president is a glorified Mahama, then we are doubly dead or screwed twice over.

A dishonest person can't fight corruption. A corrupt person pretending to fight corruption only creates more chaos. Mahama is corrupt to the bone himself & therefore unable to keep his corrupt ministers in check.

We must not discount the contribution of Dr Joseph Boakye Danquah, the rest oof the big six and others. In 1928 when little wasl known of African philosophy Danquah's work "Akan laws and customs and the constitution of Akim (Akyem) Abuakwa" convinced the Africans, the British and the world at large that the people of Ghana (Gold Coast) were ready for self government.

As one of the few African members of the legislative assembly he vehemently opposed the British decision to setup only one university for British West Africa in Nigeria. His action led to the decision to setup the University of Ghana - Legon.

All this was before Nkrumah came to the scene. But we must also not forget the immense contribution Nkrumah made.

Dr. Agambilla is just as corrupt. He sends his wife to deliver their children in America whilst he is a Deputy Minister of Ghana . How proud are you as a Ghanaian. She does not only deliver in the U.S. for two years and yet still collects her teachers salary in Ghana. These are part of the ghost names we are crying about.This corruption is not only Mr. Mahama's problem but is a Ghanaian nightmare.

Dr's assettion is that SOMEONE HAVE TO DO IT.
Can he share any document proofing that he tried something during his time which did not work?

However it becomes harder and burdensome for a good man who come in to enherits empty state coffers.

It is the former Singaporean leader who said that no nation can be corrupt unless the leadership is corrupt. How did the names get unto the payroll in the first place? Did the names get written on the payroll by themselves? OMG, what kind of stupidity is this? Why cant the president get whoever put the name there and deal with him rather than pretending as if the names got unto the payroll by themselves. But her is the catch: If you have corrupt leadership, the nation gets infested and the results is what we are seeing. What is happening indicates that the leadership of Ghana is corrupt to the bone that is why there is corruption everywhere.If the president went out to conclude a plane deal with a ton of suspicion that some fraud must have occurred during the negotiations and we as a nation,have not found time to investigate this thoroughly to either substantiate the claim or exonerate the president, do you think those in the helm of affairs will take the president seriously when he talks about corruption? The president himself has corruption image problem so he cannot stem the tide of corruption.Since former attorney general Hamidu wrote in the national dailies accusing Mahama of having corrupted himself during the negotiations for the purchase of the Ember planes from Brazil, and even went to the extent of exposing the names of a committee members who were ostensibly put together to investigate Mahama, has Mahama been able to deny the accusation?.If not Why? If the accusation was not true why has Mahamna not gone to court to clear his name? Mahama is unable to give any answer to Hamidu's claim simply because Hamidu's claim is basically the truth. So do you then expect Mahama to command the respect that he requires to uproot corruption in Ghana? please give me a break.

Gone are the days when Ghanaians admired education and the well educated. All that went to the wind when a Mr Rawlings burst on the political landscape and successfully placed a wedge between the stark illiterate and semi educated on one hand and the educated elite on the other.
The educated elite were seen as thieves and the reason for all of our economic woes. After ostracizing the educated elite the irrelevancy of higher education, became full-blown. Over the years, excessive impoverishment imposed on the people by successive clueless and corrupt administrations has led the people to adore and worship the rich and affluent of society. Unfortunately, we have accepted and adopted materialism and recognize it as the one social ladder to climb to get to the top and gain social recognition.
What started as a sub culture is now a full blown Ghanaian pop culture. Everyone has joined the rat race and it doesn't matter how one gets his money. Instead of seeking higher education most ghanaians in the diaspora work themselves to death, working multiple jobs to fulfill their dream of becoming the proud owners of a house, a nice car to drive, and multiple closets of clothing and shoes to make themselves look relevant in society.
It's a sad situation because most people seem to adore money, even filthy lucre and no one cares about the source of anyone's riches. It's a messy and sad situation and it'd take a very determined and strong political leadership to reverse the trend. There's nothing inherently wrong with wealth and riches but it's not everything and they have to be acquired within the realm of the law. More importantly,and for a balance, our society must produce more humanistically oriented scholars, that means people who are intellectually, emotionally, or functionally directed.

You see we miss it all. We keep thinking the government is the solution. Na lie! If any one should tell you a government (be it NDC, NPP, QRP, ZSP) can solve Ghana's problem we will, definitely, be living in a FOOL'S PARADISE.
If individuals, like Dr Agambilla should have done, would start the crusade in their own HOMES then we can put the pressure on the GOVERNMENT to do the rest. But not when a political parties like NDC, NPP and others celebrates the corruptions of their party members and only point fingers at the 'other' party members.

Is Rawlings himself discipline enough to have the guts to discipline some one ?.Rawlings is the most corrupt politician in Ghana , above all a mass murderer,and armed-robber.His 19yrs ruling is the cause of all types of problem facing Ghana today.He brought accountability but he was not accountable to Ghanaians at the end of his term in office.This clearly shows that he equally failed to lead by example.Hence,the massive corruption taking place everywhere in Ghana.

Doctor, use your knowledge to help the country not politics. You were an ex-D'Minister, what creativity or transformation did you bring to Ghana?
