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.

The government continued to charge exorbitant prices at the gas stations even when the oil prices continue to fall at the world market by telling Ghanaians it needs the extra charges to clear its debt with the BDCs which was GH¢2 billion and after more than three months of gouging consumers with high petrol prices, the debt still stands at GH¢2 billion, what happened to all the money that was realized from the high prices the government has been charging?

Where is the money that has been collected during times of low crude oil prices on the world market with high local gas prices with the accruing windfall, supposed to have been used to defray the debt owed the BDC's?

Oh my God. My dear countrymen I suspect something fishy here. I opine that this debt issue is a collaboration between the government and the BDCs in order to justify government's action of maintaining prices High in the face of lower world market prices. Can the ggovernment be honest and tell us even now that it's still subsidising fuel? Why then is the under recovery to such a huge debt? Please Mr President have a bit of mercy and respect for the good people of Ghana. Very soon I know they will find grounds to justify another increment. May God have mercy.
