JD MAHAMA said, "We destroy the moral fibre of this country". Yes, JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA you've completely destroyed the moral fibre of socio-economy of Ghana.
1. You refused to declare your assets due to your corrupt and fraudulent deals and acts,
2. You refuse to punish those caught embezzling funds - Afriyie-Ankrah, Woyome, Agambire, Azontaba, SADA, SUBAH, and many more.
3. As a leader you don't need to be everywhere to control corruption - what is the size of Ghana compared to say America, is Obama everywhere - all what you need are systems and controls (feedback, reports, sanctions, imprisonment, dismisals, etc) in place to check corruption.
4. MAHAMA your pronouncements daily show your lack of leadership skills and experience for the position you are occupying. What you fail to accept is that your incompetence, corrupt and fraudulent practices is killing innocent Ghanaians daily through dumsor, schools under trees, poor healthcare delivery, accidents, and death.
JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA you are a failure and a disgrace to Ghana and yes, You single-handedly have destroyed the moral fibre of this country, Ghana.

GHANA HAS BEEN RAPED BY NDC IDIOTS. WE DO NOT NEED ANY NATIONAL ECONOMIC FORUM, WE NEED A NATIONAL COURT OF JURISDICTION TO PUT MAHAMA AND HIS CABINET ON TRIAL. GHANA'S HOPELESS ECONOMIC SITUATION, TODAY, IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. NDC HAS OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS PRESIDED OVER THE BIGGEST RESOURCES IN OUR HISTORY INCLUDING CRUDE OIL & STEALTH TAXES. THEY HAVE ALSO CONTRACTED THE BIGGEST LOANS IN OUR HISTORY. IF THEY HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR THIS AND THE ECONOMY IS IN SHAMBLES, THEN,THEY MUST BE PROSECUTED. THEY MUST GIVE THE MONEYS BACK TO THE TREASURY. WE DO NOT NEED ANY ECONOMIC FORUM. SET UP A COURT IMMEDIATELY. IT HAPPENED IN THAILAND RECENTLY, PRIME MINISTER YINGLUCK SHINAWATRA WAS REMOVED BY THE CONSTITUTIONAL COURT FOR ABUSING POWER. LOOK AT GHANA;-- EMBRAER PLANE SCANDAL, STX KOREA,NDC US$20 MILLION PARTY HQ., US$4 MILLION DODGY JUDGEMENT DEBT TO MRS RAWLINGS AND HER COMPANY, SUBAH, GYEEDA, WOYOMI, ISOFOTON, WATERVILLE, AFRICA AUTOMOBILE, CP, SADA, FORTIZ/MERCHANT BANK,FREE EXPENSIVE CARS FOR CHIEFS, AKONFEM AND A HOST OF OTHER DODGY JUDGEMENT DEBT PAYMENTS. BUYING VOTES WITH CASH, LAND CRUISERS & LAPTOPS JUST TO WIN ELECTIONS. WHY NDC?????? WHY??? OUR SUPREME COURT COULD NOT HELP BUT DESCRIBED IT AS "ALLIANCE TO CREATE, LOOT AND SHARE" WHAT A SHAME? ?? AND YOU CALLING GHANAIANS TO A WASTEFUL ECONOMIC FORUM. NDC, THE MONEY IS WITH YOU, GIVE IT BACK TO GHANA. NPP, I SALUTE YOUR COURAGE FOR NOT ATTENDING. NPP REMAIN SMART AND VIGILANT!!!!!

Mr President your quote above shows how weak a leader you are. This is the time to talk tough and not feel sorry. But how can you talk tough when you yourself has been cited in a number of corrupt allegations. You should have told the Chief Directors you will fire anyone who fails to act on corruption in hie sector.

In other words what Pres. John Dramani Mahama is trying to say is don't put all the corruption on me, let's spread the NDC gov't's corruption under my watch, around so the Chief Directors, Chief Executives and Chairpersons of governing boards, also take some of the blame for the corruption under my watch.
Well, Ghanaians are very clear in their minds who should be blamed completely and fully for the level of corruption under and in this Mahama-led NDC gov't and it is President John Dramani Mahama.
This NDC gov't canker of nation wrecking corruption and kleptocracy would not be spread around, it would not be shared and Ghanaians hold John Dramani Mahama completely responsible for the stratospheric levels of the NDC party and gov't's institutionalized corruption and looting, and Ghanaians are unanimous in their condemnation of this NDC gov't and party's fueled looting and corruption, and we are saying enough is enough.
Ghanaians are saying the Mahama-led NDC gov't's looting and corruption is enough in this country.
Clearly, the Mahama-led NDC gov't cannot fight their institutionalized kleptocratic corruption and the only available means to arrest this overburdening scourge of looting and plunder is to fire the NDC gov't at the ballot box in 2016, because enough is enough.

We have been say that Ghana is overflowing with corruption but our President kept assuring us that he is fighting it and winning the battle. Do you remember how he kept wavering from defending his economic and energy policies, to blaming others until the both collapsed under his "watchful" eyes. So now corruption is everywhere but the President cannot be everywhere. JDM just tells which of the corruption investigations and prosecutions you claim to have initiated point to the fact that it could have been stopped by civil servant, the fast-track judgement debts that Ministers and the Presidency believed were well deserved?; the SADA advance payments to Agams and Gyeda payments to Zoomlion and Abuga Pele's ghost payments for no work done? or the National Service overbloated payroll, with ghost names and ghost payments. Each and every one of these scandals were engineering and executed by your own political appointees who have thrown caution to the winds and are grabbing public funds left and right like there is no longer any hope for a collective "better Ghana". How do you expect Chief Directors and civil servants to discipline your appointees, when you yourself are shy to take action. Truth is every suspects you and your Party are the chief conspirator and accomplice in these ponzi schemes.

We all know that because of collusion amongst people, uprooting corruption in society has always been impossible.
Neither Man nor Government can fight corruption successful especially in Ghana.
The only way to do so therefore is to resort to the SPIRITUAL means to do so.
All we need to do is to start fighting corruption from the top and it will transcend to everyone in the country within a few months.
How do we accomplish this?
Whenever we swear in Politicians, Board Members and Senior Management of Parastatals, or any High Level Government Officials in the Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs), we should make sure as part of the oath of allegiance they read will include first, a blessing to these individuals and their families if they perform genuinely and diligently as if to quote Mr. Mahama "such institutions are for their fathers".
At the same time, there is a need to insert a section within the same oath of allegiance on Cursing these same people and their families, and even from generation to generation if they ever amass wealth through corruption.
What Government can therefore do is to modify those oaths of allegiance slightly to reflect this proposal and I can assure you that, Ghana will surpass even Singapore in its development in months and not even in years.

What a pathetic answer from the President and Commander in Chief of Ghana. Can't be everywhere but can distribute funds to all corners of everywhere. Mr President, I'm sorry but I still respect you as my President. The fact of the matter is that you're corrupt yourself which makes it hard for you to discipline your corrupt compatriots and employees. You have the Auditor General's report before you and what action as a leader and president of the state have you taken? It's written all over the place and in print where there are massive corrupt practices taking place and what punishments are you meting out? Corruption is written all over the country from child birth to death and all your leadership does is turn a blind eye and ear with the intention that you see no evil, so you hear no evil, why? All a king needs to do is say nobody leaves town and you can bet 95% will obey if they believe the king will carry out a punishment if he was disobeyed with no favors if they did. Have you ever heard of a child coming for a second circumcision if they experienced the pain of the first one? No Mr Mahama. You have to start acting like a leader and stamp your foot on all breakers even if is was your mama for us to take you serious. You know I am an armed robber with no shame or mercy on my take, why don't you shoot me when I come evading your premises at night even though you have a gun? Maybe you're so scared you intentionally close your eyes and pretend to be sleeping while I rape your wife and take your belonging. If the president can't act, what do you expect our police to do when they can only do what the law and state allows?

Unless you really don't know your job you wouldn't be saying this!
HE IS D FACILITATOR OF GARGANTUAN CORRUPTION IN D COUNTRY & A GARGANTUAN THIEF HIMSELF.

IF THE LEADER HIMSELF WILL NOT BE AN IMPOTER OF GOODS THAT ARE SOLD UNDERGROUND THE FOLLOWING CANNOT DO SAME. BECAUSE THOSE WHO SELL FOR THE LEADER WILL SURE ALSO DO THEIR OWN THING EMPOWERED BY WHAT THE LEADER HAS DONE.
Why did the President ok SADA and GYEEDA cash to be used for NDC campaign-Big hypocrate!!!!!!!!

Thief to catch thief?Walahi,never,never.Corruption in the public sevice is union government.It is 'chop make i chop'.
Cheese and rat. Who will win?
The fact that it is under his governance that a new word denoting corruption says it all. Kalabule in the 1970´s and now Kpakpakpa.
Is it NOT Manama and his NDC Government that attacked OCCUPY-GHANA when they demanded ACTION AGAINST ALL THAT WOULD BE INDICTED BY AUDITOR GENERAL on CORRUPTION????
"Kwame Nkrumah cannot division himself into twice. That is why he has disappointed me to stand in his legs to declare this library open. So, Library, O-P-E-N!!!!"
If the institutions are solid and managed by competent,qualified and experienced people Ghana will be corruption free.
Institutions don't work in vacuum,they shd be strengthen.National Identification Numbers for everybody wld have been a good start,then registration of all properties,tax numbers for everybody etc.These things when fused toget ...

No one has to be everywhere at the same time. You can influence any corner of Ghana with leadership by example!
YOU THE PRESIDENT IS VERY CORRUPT SO YOU BEING EVERYWHERE WOULD HAVE RATHER BEEN WORSE. ONLY THIEVES TRUST YOU.
This is what an incompetent leader will say. Sorry folks this country will sink if this Mahama man is not reshuffled
Mahama's bemoaning reminds us of Kutu Acheampong's " ... I'm not God to cause rainfall." As a leader he is expected to have the clout to control and change things. In the opposition, the NDC strongly and rightly criticized th ...

Hey Mr. President, we still remember your statement that you will create 150 millionaires from the north. How will you do this if not through corruption and stealing?
Foolish President, now you are crying you haven't see nothing yet.
HOW CAN A CORRUPT MAN FIGHT CORRUPTION???
I agree with the president but he must also remeber the saying that When a fish is rotting it starts from the head.He must stare into the mirror and ask for forgiveness from ghanaians
Mr President,you are embarrassment to the office of President !
You don't speak like that.That sounds like either you're a kid(which y're not)

Of course Mahama can't fight corruption alone, when he is busily sealing his own deals.
