I strongly opposed that view for the Honourable Minister to apologize to the akward self imposed journalist "Kwame Sefakyi". He Kwame must apologize to the NDC party and its sympathizers for the gross disrespect they had from him for all these decade. NDC is tired of how this stupid " Sefakyi " is toiling with the NDC party to do his dirty and arss kissing job. This foolish boy with his Fake and fixed award winning has NO respect on his show for the members of NDC, have you heard this guy playing any other Music apart from his masters Music? He "kwame" even feeling ashamed to speak his FATHER's language EWE at that studio. Shame on him.

AUTHOR: MR. FIGURE-OUT----------------
It is only in Ghana would such a dishonorably idiot be on the government pay roll. Professor Mill should be solely blamed for imposing those criminals on us. After Mills found Betty Moulds guilty of judgement debt payments the only thing he could do was to move her to the Education dept to continue her looting. Readers would recall that Betty Mounds was the one who awarded SCHOOL building contracts at a triple price of the existing contract sum of some GH 80,000.00. And this happened at a time when they claim inflation was in the single digits. Could you imargin how foolish these criminal liars were. Kuffour built similar structures with 80,000 at a time when inflation was around 14.8% and under Mills it was 240,000 at a rate of 8.8%. And these buffoons turn around to blame the fall of the cedi on some mysterious dwarfs. I don't blame those African countries that have been ripped apart by civil unrest because if you have such buffoons in power who always turn our local elections into a West Africa one
by contracting Togolese Trokosis, Burkinabe and Wangaras from La Cote D'ivoire to vote for them, the " Road To Kigare", is sometimes, a likely option to kick their ass from power.

Ghanaians must desist from "worshipping" presidents and begin to hold presidents and leaders accountable. Bravo Greenstreet for showing Ghanaians the right way. Why bow to presidents when they are stealing millions of dollars of tax payer's money. The NDC people are enjoying while the people are suffering. Is this the better Ghana agenda. Thank you Greenstreet and more grease. May the Lord protect you.

Corruption in Ghana has been common since independence. Since 2006, Ghana's score and ranking on the Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index has improved slightly, ranked higher than Italy and Brazil. However, there is a growing perception in Ghana that government-related corruption is on the rise., ranked 64th in 2012, tied with Lesotho. Even though corruption in Ghana is relatively low when compared to other countries in Africa, businesses frequently quote corruption as an obstacle for doing business in the country. Corruption occurs often in locally funded contracts, companies are subject to bribes when operating in rural areas. All government officials appointed and elected are corrupt. THE ELECTIONS ARE A FRAUD. WHO IS AS HONEST AS THE EXISTENCE OF ALL THAT EXIST TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT THE TOTAL OF EACH CROOKS VOTES? WHO IS THE JUDGE OR JUDGES THAT IS BRAVE ENOUGH OR PURE ENOUGH IN HEART TO GIVE A RIGHTEOUS DECISION? WILL A UNDERCOVER THIEF APPOINT AN HONORABLE MAN TO WORK WITH HIS SYSTEM? IF A PERSON APPOINTED TO A POSITION IS AFRAID TO SPEAK UP AND HIDES A BLIND EYE TO KEEP HIS POSITION....WHEN HE SEES CORRUPTION...THEN HE IS JUST AS GUILTY. SO...MISTER ADU-ASARE, IF 99% OF THE GOVERNMENT AND ALL THAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH IT WASN'T CORRUPT.....THEN THERE WOULD BE A MASS EXIT. BECAUSE EVERYONE ASSOCIATED WITH GOOD INTENT FOR ALL OF GHANA WOULD BE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THAT 64TH RATING GOING DOWN. THAT'S WHERE THE PROOF LIES.....UNTIL THAT HAPPENS THEN YOU'RE ALL, ALL, ALL CORRUPT. HELL! GHANA IS THE 7TH GOLD PRODUCING COUNTRY IN THE WORLD...YET YOU ARE KNOWN AS A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY? HOW IN THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN? YOU FOOLS,CALL YOURSELVES LEADERS? YOU BASTARDS PAST AND PRESENT SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOUR SELVES.....CRYING NOT CORRUPT BUT WORST THAN THE COMMON PICKPOCKET! YOU MAKE ME SICK! JUDGMENT WILL COME.

The general public see you politicians as thieves and liars because you don't open up, you hide vital informations from the taxpayer and, above all, the politician has not been accountable enough to the citizenry. Why won't I label Adu-Asare a criminal for the shoddy work and the role he played in the Brazil FIFA tournament to bring disaster and shame upon the nation. Can Ayariga escape being called a thief for his disgusting and arrogant posture to the media when his outfit was questioned to account for his stewardship in the just ended AFCON tournament? Give us a break, you freakish rabble rouser. Or convince your inept government to help pass the Freedom of Information Bill.

Author:-Mahmoud...
The president has been saying that he tried to introduce electronic payment and acquisition systems into the public sector {to reduce human contact with cash} in his effort to fighting corruption, but lamented that the systems were often resisted.

This has become so monotonous that Ghanaians are beginning to wonder whether the president is actually serious and interested in fighting corruption as he claims, or it's just another crocodile's tears to deceive Ghanaians into believing that he is making an effort, while the government and its cronies amass billions of dollars at the expense of this struggling HIPC nation.
Why should Ghanaians hire a president that can't even introduce an electronic system successfully into the public sector to save us from criminals masquerading as civil servants? Mr. Mahama must be seen to be fighting corruption with all his might rather than go on lamenting helplessly like the rest of us who hired him to do the job.

I will tell this stupid guy that at least, 90% of government appointees are thieves without any doubt. I will ask this foolish guy a simple question. Why and how can a mere storekeeper of a government hospital put up a story building? Ghana is reeling under intense pressure due to massive stealing from government workers be they appointees or whatever.

Look at Barton Oduro? This guy's posture stinks to the highest heaven for his role in Woyome's case but lo and behold.....

Come November 2015, Ghana's old type of passport will no longer be valid. All Ghanaians must use the biometric passport for travel and idenfication. This is bad news for Ghanaians living abroad who don't have any means of acquiring the biometric passport. Unfortunately, our embassies don't have the means and equipment to process biometric passports. This is unfortunate. The embassies continue to issue the old type which is phasing out in November, 2015. Therefore any Ghanaian outside Ghana must go home to Ghana in order to acquire the new biometric passport, else they can't travel with or use the old passport as a form of identification after November 2015. Americans, British and other nationals living in Ghana can easily renew or acquire new passports at their embassies, but Ghanaians can't do same at their embassies come November 2015. This is unfortunate. Why can't the Mahama administration solve this simple problem? Have you forgotten your own contry men and women living outside Ghana? Please Mr. President and your Minister of Foreign Affairs, live up to our expectation. You should have taken the embassies into consideration when you proposed and implemented the policy to go biometric. November is fast approaching.

Equip the embassies with the appropriate computers and fingerprint scanners so that they can process biometric passports, Mr. President.

One night, Murphy was walking home when, all of a sudden, a thief jumped on him. Murphy and the thief began to wrestle. They rolled about on the ground and Murphy put up a tremendous fight.

However, the thief managed to get the better of him and pinned him to the ground.

The thief then went through Murphy’s pockets and searched him. All the thief could find on Murphy was 25 cents.

The thief was so surprised at this that he asked Murphy why he had bothered to fight so hard for 25 cents.

“Was that all you wanted?” Murphy replied, “I thought you were after the five hundred dollars I’ve got in me shoe!”

Today you are one of the names in every home in Ghana as an unintelligent crook. As young as you are in politics, you have already tainted your reputation by being investigated by a commission and sacked from state appointment.

Do not stay in Ghana to go down the gutters with these guys as their days are numbered.

Most public appointees are corrupt that is a
fact. The word every means all. In other words none is upright. Adu Amankwa wants to downplay the canker of corruption among public servants by telling some of them are not corrupt .
We would not be hoodwinked by such statements. We are all know the financial standing of most of these public servants before they entered politics. All of them have become rich overnight. Especially the young ministers. They have put on weight 'oily and sleek'.Some of them have become so big that they are spending more time at the gymn to shed weight instead of working.
It is little wonder that one of them was angry when forced him to cut exercises to attend a press conference.
They have become arrogant. They talk down the electorate. They do not want to account for their stewardship to the masses except to parliament. They have accounted to parliament so ordinary people should not disturb them and waste their time.
This is bad customer service. In other parts of the world he would loose his job after such outburst. The journalist would bring all manner of pressure to bear on the president to dismiss him. But not in Ghana.
How can we progress as a nation when we allow the rulers to disrespect us.

"The Presidency has become a den of criminals"- Prof. Amoako(Political Science Lecturer).
Afriyie Ankrah looted and upon uttering the famous words "open sesame" in the story of Ali Baba and the 40 thieves, he was gleefully welcomed into the grotto of Ghana's economic collapse, described by Prof. Amoako as the den of criminals.
Adu Asare is also in there so it's no surprise he's defending Mahama Ayariga.
Besides the record is clear. The Mahama-led NDC gov't is thieving the resources of the state and the evidence is there to support this position.
The Supreme Court has given it's verdict of a number of such cases, and incidentally, a former Attorney General Martin Alamisi Benz Kaiser Amidu-Citizen Vigilante was forcefully shoved out, when he suffered a bout of consciousness and resolved to stem the tide of wanton thievery by the Mahama-led NDC gov't. It never happened and today, Ghana is in a financial and economic catastrophe and chaos. So what is Adu Asare going on about?

It is very true what Hon. Adu Asare has said and I very much agree with him. There would certainly be a few bad ones but that is not to say all government appointees are thieves!

Ghanaman:
Former Pres. JJ Rawlings fought for our country for the restoration of Accountability, Freedom and Democracy among others. After a very long painful years of his struggles, he, Pres. Rawlings, was able to establish a credible system in place, and won the trust of the majority of Ghanaians. No matter how his avowed enemies wants us to believe, Pres. Rawlings's achievement cannot be denied even by the "accursed SATAN."
Former Pres. Rawlings was listed in the CIA book, amongst the " FIVE TOP NON-CURRUPT LEADERS IN THE WORLD." This was unpresidented, lifting the higher the image of Ghana. This single, most incurrupt/least currupt leaders in the world, earned him the respect around the world. Rawlings was and still a man of action. He has no equal amongst our recent past leadrs. He is in a different class. The perception of our people regarding theft labeling of our elected leaders cannot change over night. We have many good leaders in government even today who are trying to change the corrupt system.

But what happened as soon as power was transferred to NPP ex-Pres. Kuffor? President Kufoours first orderof official business was to buy a hotel worth millions of dollars; only to quickily transfer it to his son. The question is, why did he not buy a hotel before he became the President?
Again, in our history, the late Priminister Busia, upon becoming head of state, paid himself for four years in advance as the head of state.
Unfortunately, there are examples like this that let the public loos confidence in its elected leaders.
Our leaders are laying the foundation for the breakdown of law, broad daylight theft by some few of our leaders.
Ghana needs another house cleaning approach. If the Parliament can call for accountability by all of our Hon. MPs and to justify how their sudden acquisition of wealth was done, I doubt non will pass.
This is a painful reality for many who fought for their country to improve the lives of Ghanaians. How we can change these habits, I don't know. Another revolution again is becoming a necessity no matter how we pretend. There is no other way, but real revolt by majority of Ghanaians is becoming more and more possible. Theft, the NPP Obasanjo Way became real with the NPP administration under ex-Pres Kufour.
We must all help the government, Pres. Mahama lay the foundation for Ghana's development. This is where our prosperity is.

God help Ghana

Every gov't appointee in Ghana is a thief until… - Adu Asare
