Nemesis has caught up with Lithur, Tony and now he has been exposed for his initiation, leading role and enjoyment of the fruits of dubious judgment debt with his Mahama-led NDC thieves gov't and Woyome.
What a disgrace and an embarrassment. Repugnant, shameless and disgraceful human beings.
How do you sleep togetehr with your family when pregnant women are dying because of lack of medications and facilities at our hospitals whilst you shameless and disgraceful beings continue to thieve the country?
Disgraceful beings.
Criminal, even a layman knows running a busy private practice or vice versa, does not suffice as enough credible reasons or grounds or precludes one from proving that Austro-Invest was in existence before going ahead with that plain thievery, as has been proven beyond all reasonable doubt.
Disgraceful, thieving, shameless lot.

What a shock! Sir John with all the loud noise also chopped some of the booty!!!

But Sir John, do lawyers charge cars for their services? You see, the truth is difficult to hide. Like a cork the truth will emerge somewhere along the line. Sir John was struggling to lie and somehow forgot that no lawyer charges cars for their services. They could use their fee to buy cars, but they don't charge in cars. Shame to Sir ~John.

Good Job Alhaji Blanket, love the way you're going about business down there, especially the water sector, roads, transport and many others to mention, but a few. The electricity sector has been a challenge before all since Nkrumah left the scene due to our collective negligence from the word GO and now the capital intensiveness to solve it once and for all.

However, your administrative effort is slowly, but surely yielding dividends and sooner rather than later, Ghana will get out of this conundrum of a shell we stupidly created for our blessed country thanks to the effectiveness of your partnership of public and the private sector initiative that is prudently, safely and appropriately answering what we have been longing for as a country.

"This president of your home-country is a serious lad and really determined to do some good and create a legacy for himself in the books." Those, Alhaji Blanket, were the very words of Jean-Claude Juncker, the newly elected president of the European commission when we went selling your (PPP) get-up-and-go crusade before him to effectively woo some serious investors onto the shores of Ghana at the heart of the European Capital in Brussels. Words that I am sure has graciously reached your ears by now.

Keep the good work going and bravo is the word deservedly to your ranks.

I HAVE NEVER WITNESS UNPATRIOTIC BEHAVIOR BY ANY POLITICAL PARTY IN MY ENTIRE LIFE LIKE THE USELESS NDC PARTY.

It is astonishing that there are people in the ruling USELESS NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS PARTY who think WAYOME deserve the money illegally paid to him. Some have come out to make that clear. How many still believe the same but are silent remain unknown, but it is clear with the way HONOURABLE MARTIN AMIDU, HONOURABLE WITH THE TRUE MEANING OF THE WORD, is seen and treated by the NDC party tells what their stand is in this matter. HOW A POLITICAL PARTY THAT DOESN'T HAVE THE INTEREST OF GHANAIANS CAME THIS FAR, STILL PUZZLES ME. Is the Ghananian population dominated by fools? I mean people who are only interested in licking boots of politicians and getting 'akpetteshie and a few other handouts once in every four years, or they are simply dominated by lazy tribes who discriminates against other tribes that are hardworking, and as such will do everything for all of us to remain poor? (ni eborwor f33) kind of attitude. Why will people be on the side of someone who attempts to dupe Ghana, and sideline A GOOD CITIZEN LIKE MARTIN AMIDU who had fought for the return of Ghana's money? This money can change the lives of children of poor people whose children still study under trees in today's world, but whose vote matters very much every four years but are not human beings thereafter. So, my question is: IS THE NDC PARTY RULING TODAY A GANG OF PEOPLE WHO ARE THERE TO FILL THEIR POCKETS AND LEAVE US IN A WORSE CONDITION THAN THEY MET US? if your answer is ''I THINK SO'' then please VOTE OUT THE USELESS NDC PARTY IN 2016, BECAUSE THEY ARE OF NO USE TO US.

VERY FRUSTRATING! GHANA IS IN TROUBLE.
MEMBERS OF OUR LOW GRADE LEGISLATURE (PARLIAMENT) LIKE AMASA NAMOALE (BBC NEWS!!!!!!) DON'T DESERVE THE ACCOLADE ''HONOURABLE'' IF OTHER INTELLIGENT MEN AND WOMEN OF INTEGRITY IN PARLIAMENT WANT TO BE RESPECTED, THEY MUST EDUCATE PEOPLE NOT TO ELECT A CHAFF LIKE AMASA NAMOALE (BBC NEWS!!!!!).

WHEN DID OUR PARLIAMENT TURN TO THIS? When did it turn to a place where foolish people and people who don't seem to know where they are go? What is somebody like Amasa Namoale (BBC NEWS!!!!!)doing there? Do those who vote for this idiot think beyond what they will eat today. I BLAME PNDC AND THE PDC CONCEPT. This encouraged all kinds of fools and nobody's to get involve in government, and this is where we are today. VERY DISAPPOINTING. HE IS SAYING WAYOME SHOULD SUE FOR MORE MONEY. IS HE WEALTHY OF BEING IN PARLIAMENT AND BE REFERRED TO AS ''HONOURABLE'' If those there with this person want the name ''honourable'' to carry any weight, then they should discourage people from voting for his sort.

Next time Ghanaians will learn how to vote competent people and not on tribal lines. You see, we are all suffering except Mahama's family and friends who get everything free.

Block head! Unlike President Dead Goat's government any competent government will 'restrategise' and reprioritise its spending in the face of global economic downturn.

GHANA LEADERS ARE ALL INCOMPETENT, LAZY DUMMIES.

GHANA IS SINKING DEEPER AND DEEPER, AND NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE ABOUT MAKING SIMPLE COMMONSENSE DECISIONS TO STOP FUTHER DECLINE - OFFICIAL CORRUPTION AND A LOG LIST OF "JUDGMENT DEBTS" PAYOUTS.

What I don't understand is why GHana cannot utilise a constitutional link to submit a vote of no confidence in the current government and remove them from power totally before things get worse.
Other countries have the ability to register votes of no confidence and thus call for the premature dissolution of parliament to bring about a coalition or new elections before time.

Casely Hayford is a jackass, a loudmouth and an incompetent analysis...all along, it was abundantly clear that the anemic economy of ours was taking a tremendous beating from falling commodity prices and many of pointed this out. Alas, Hayford has eaten crow and now admits that low prices for cocoa and oil our two primary exports were affecting the nation's bottom dollar.

My question is:why suddenly is Hayford coming up with this rationale to explain the poor performance of the economy? Didn't he know that when he was hurling insults at the government and pouring scorn on its leader, Mahama?

Even if prices for these commodities were to shoot up again, it will take a generation to fix our economic problems which from all indications are structural in nature....no government can fix them overnight and no one including Hayford and his partners, Cudjoe and Ace Ankomah can convince Ghanaians that they have the answers....
