It is difficult to understand why we spend so much money on funerals. Do we want show we care for the victims' family or we want to show off our wealth? We have really lost the whole essence of funerals.

SOURCE: myjoyonline.com------Executive Director of the National Anticorruption Action Plan (NACAP) says they would be compelled to go to court to demand accountability from government over its failure to retrieve monies wrongly paid to individuals in judgement debt.
Mrs. Linda Ofori Kwafo is baffled at government’s lackadaisical approach to pursuing beneficiaries of such monies.
The anticorruption campaigner was speaking on the Super Morning Show, Tuesday, December 9, 2014 in connection with the announcement by Deputy Attorney-General Dominic Ayine government that Gh?14.5million had been retrieved as part of the illegal money paid to contractors of the Ghana Youth Employment and Entrepreneurial Agency (GYEEDA).
President Mahama at a conference organized by NACAP on Monday, also disclosed that about 300 people have either been convicted or are facing trial for corruption-related offenses in Ghana since 2013.
“It is disheartening…We need a breakdown of the information they put across there,” Mrs. Ofori Kwafo retorted. According to her, “ the GYEEDA case is small”.
She recalled the “good cases” won in court by former Attorney-General Martin Amidu in which individuals and organisations that benefited from such wrongful payments were ordered by the Supreme Court to return the monies to the state.
The Supreme Court in June 14, 2013, ordered Waterville Holdings Ltd. to return to the state in excess of 21million Euros obtained illegally arising out of claims it brought against the state in 2009. A week after, the court again ordered businessman Alfred Woyome to refund a total of Gh?51.2 million judgement debt payment he received between 2009 and 2010.
The Court in another landmark judgment on July 29, 2014, ruled that Spanish-based Company, Isofoton pay back to the state a total of $325,472 and the interest accrued on the amount since 2011- the year in which the monies were paid.
“The amounts involved are huge…we need such monies to move our economies forward and government officials are silent on them,” the NACAP Executive Director questioned.
“Civil Society Organisations want to make the recovery of such monies…they should give us the detailed breakdown for us to know the progress that we are making.
“We cannot go and collect the monies; the state has a responsibility…we need the resources,” she demanded.
She hints the Civil Society Organisations will not hesitate to choose the option of “going to court and demanding for accountability so far us government’s responsibility in the fight against corruption is concerned”.
“We have also signed onto the United Nations Convention Against Corruption, which actually mandates us to be able to recover stolen assets that have been hidden outside this country. If within the borders of our own nation we cannot retrieve monies then how well would we able to retrieve [stolen state funds lodged] in Swiss banks and the rest?
“It’s no wonder, therefore, when citizens say that…they don’t actually have trust and confidence in government’s ability to fight corruption,” she told Kojo Yankson, host of the Show.

They have nothing constructive to offer, their stomach is their benchmark after that the rest of Ghanaians can go to hell.
What reckless generation are these? They live their lives by scheming evil and becoming overlord in communities by siphoning from wherever by whatever means they can to keep up their ill gotten fame and bequeath these traits to their children’s children.
Just see them Afenyo Markin, Nkrabea Effah Darteh, John Buadu, Abankwa, Freddie Blay (the prostitute), KT Hammond, Osei Mensa-Kyei Bonsu and many more….these are Nana Addo,s Think Tanks. INDEED !!!!
Fellow Ghanaians, be aware that “Difficulties” are part of life, so it is for a growing nation like ours. It takes sacrifices to build a nation and not laziness and gluttony to consume and destroy what we have here and now. It is obvious that the gluttonous opposition NPP has nothing to clinch on for their campaign; so they think using “corruption” as a slogan will earn them some moral image.
The question is “Who is more corrupt in Ghana than these Dankwa / Busia folks?”
They took bribe to overthrow Dr Kwame Nkrumah in 1966 this is a true declassified document. The Traitors are ( Busia, Kotoka, JB Danquah, and Edward Akuffo Addo)
As for Kuffour he is the worst ever. He crowned corruption and hailed it as the first born of Adam. For him it is “kick back” - All we saw in eight years of Kuffour in office was day light robbery of properties and owning them at all cost. He supervised a regime of no shame, penetrated into state reserve lands and forcefully paid peanut for them. Siphoning from state account and redenominated the currency with impunity. They demonstrated arrogance and excess abuse of power. It is unbelievable how Kuffour`s numerous presidential initiatives headed by Allan Kyeremanteng, all ended up in “MATREKO WO” island. None of them prospered just like his mentor Dr. Abrefa Busia
Busia took to the presidency with too much talking and did nothing; He initiated policies and executed none of them. Whilst Dankwa descendants were busy and seriously siphoning from state coffers to enrich and entrenched their families and well wishers. Thank God the then military saw all these dishonesty, nepotism, neo-colonialism and indiscipline growing from these arrogant nation wreckers and non entities who seek power and don’t know what to do with it than selling what has been built
Education is nothing to them; for them to get to the top means how much money you can exhibit or show to the public but careless about how they make their monies, they are greedy and enjoy backbiting, destroying, killing and make shameless utterances, bullying, joining occult and make use of cannabis; these days cocaine. Many of them have no academic certificate.
Too much Trivialmindedness has engulfed with these so called Dankwa/Busia descendants who have never in their lives said the truth nor demonstrated maturity. They always portray silliness, low self esteemed and endemic mental slavery. What is so worrying is that they don’t mind destroying others because they want power. Attacking and distracting leaders without sound alternative is not only sickening but also portrays immaturity and emptiness of these cohorts. They just want to do or say something to grab unnecessary attention. They have no solution???. if you test their opinion to deep analysis, you always end up by cheap and shallow political biases and unfounded allegations

It is a disgrace to our country Ghana and to our Parliament for such people to be elected as legislators. Is this doctor real? Has he ever thought that when it comes to funerals we have got our priorities absolutely wrong? Why do we spend more on dead people than living ones? Should this even be a political debate? I have a wife and a son in the UK and the funerals were simple and straightward. I had to take care and educate my three children after the death of my wife. My son left three children who had to be taken care of 26 yrs down the line. Tell me Doc, where is the sense to spend thousands of pounds for these funerals, create a debt on my head, and leave the education of my children and grandchildren to my faith in God? Doesn't the so-called Doctor know that the churches in Ghana are part of the suffering of the people? Instead of these churches teaching people that whether you put your faith in God or not you need to work and focus to make ends meet, they rather teach them an archaic law of tithing and faith in God solving their problems, give them riches and wealth. And you, a MP has the nerve to talk about financial problems in respect of funerals and offerings in church. What of education, health, the economy, children selling on the streets wherever you go in the country. YOU ARE NOT FIT TO BE AN MP LET ALONE A ROLE MODEL.

Oh Doc! Please don't do this kwraao! I don't want people to spew garbage about you. You are dear to my heart.
This statement adds no value. People just talk rubbish to gain attention. There's a lot of other more important issues he could have commented on. We are responsible for high cost of funerals, we have our priorities backwards ...

The Ghanaian tax payer is spending much on this MP to come out with wise and tangible arguments to find solution to our problems, instead he is talking of church collection and funeral donations. Waste of space and resources. ...

You people are planning to use our funds to pay church offertory and funeral donations? You guys are not serious!
You will even blame Mahama for your impotency.
This is shallow mindedness on the side of the mp. How can ppl like this make laws that will move the country forward?
Stupidity.funerals are your problem.dead bastards body is not our problem in Ghana.:"MPENAMMA " dead body.what happens at the funeral is just evil that is why God is not ready to help again.
Another stupid talk from person like this.
How STUPID can the NPP be? What level of desperation is this.They have reduced the issue of governance to funeral donations and church offertory. How can these activities help in our economic growth. And these characters want ...

So the NPP has reduced the economy of the country to the amount of money donated at funerals and in churches! Now we know who should be called 'incompetent"
Ghanaians and love for funerals.
This comment shows how stupid Npp members are. You waste money on dead body but ignore him when he was alive. Stupidity in it highest degree.
Stupid talk
AS an MP you should have said something better to convince the people of Ghana and not offertory and funeral donations.
Now all Ghanaians understand why the president rightly described the NPP MPs as sleeping dummies in parliament. How can a whole Dr. speak this way if he was not sleeping and suddenly woke up to make such a stupid statement?
People with doctorate degrees talking unadulterated trash !!. There is a huge deficit of common sense and wisdom among some of our politicians and you sometimes wonder how they got elected or how they got their degrees!
This is the npp style.Very childish at this modern age when people are advancing they are still in their old age style.They should note that Ghanaians have never been satisfied since the time of Kwame Nkrumah.This type of tal ...

Am surprise @ this Doc, no wonder. Having A4 sheet is different from being a man who is pragmatic. there are various various ways to get the A4 sheet but lack of competency
Its very true funeral donations has. gone down. Yes, even after Abubakari saddiq sacrifices his life for akufo addo and Npp .akufo Addo can only donate Gh¢ 2,500 for his funeral as his end of life benefit
So is this why your constituency voted for you?Talk about poverty alleviation,reducing ignorance and developing your constituency not this cheap talk/politics.Anyway this is all that majority of out politician know.HE ONLY WA ...

My heart bleeds for the few fine brains in NPP. What a talk-
Is this guy an hournary doctor or a proper one? if yes where did he study? Poland?
Why not your Legon or KNUST
WHAT A BRAIN DEAD.
What type of illiterate logic is this? We've all these petty-minded people in our parliament, how can anything good come from that house. What a shame !
This fool has a doctorate and makes analysis like a five year old. With such people how can this nation ever progress. It's sickening and pathetic, absolutely no brainer comments.
WE LIVE IN A FREE COUNTRY SO ANY FOOL CAN SAY WHATEVER HE / SHE WANTS. TALK IS CHEAP.
ONLY FOOLS WILL SUPPORT YOU MR. NO-SENCE
IGNORE THESE PEOPLE. THEY WANT TO BE HEARD, WE HAVE, BUT YOU ARE NOT RELEVANT. THIS IS NOT COMING FROM SENSIBILITY.
Dr spoke about real issues. This was just in gist
HOW can an educated MP talk like this? Unless HE IS SLEEPING
NPP NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME.
MY GOODNESS,NPP MPs HAVE NOT ONLY BEEN SLEEPING ON THE JOB, THEY HAVE GONE GAGA! HAS GOD BEEN COMPLAINING OF GOING BROKE? OR THEY (NPP MPS) SUPPLEMENT THEIR SALARY BY OFFERTORY IN THE GOD-BUSINESS THEY RUN? SHAME , SHAME ,SHA ...

I repeat, you must be brain dead with a tinge of stupidity in your dna to be allowed to communicate for the npp. With people like these in our legislature, no wonder there is no forward progress.
No wonder. A bunch of them are coming from Ashanti region where funeral is merry making. U people will cause Akufu Addo's defeat. U r becoming so irresponsible and useless with cheap politics.
Offectories and funeral donation going dow,. This is good news. Ghanaians are finally wiseing up. I predict the end of expensive funerals by 2020. Everything in its own time.
Since Mahama took pver , even pussy price has gone up. Our sex workers are fighting each other for business.
it makes respected and knowledgeable people like this dr. Mark to loose respect and make foolish, unsubstantiated, FALSE,ignorant and non-research supported statement in NOT any other place but PARLIAMENT. It is indeed SAD t ...

It is an embarrassment to see people referred to as Dr. so and so making these kinds of statements in the Ghanaian Parliament. Where is the PhD mindset behind such utterances? I don't see it.
They have nothing constructive to offer, their stomach is their benchmark after that the rest of Ghanaians can go to hell.
What reckless generation are these? They live their lives by scheming evil and becoming overlord in c ...

How can a so called doctor open his mouth to a certain radius to spew this garbage in our parliament? Yet he is an Honourable man. What a waste!!!
If this assholes who priorities funeral and church donations are the ones we expect to govern us, then It will take 3 generations of 26million Ghanaians to differentiate between good and bad!
this shows the NPP is not ready to rule Ghana but rather to pay money during funerals,the man needs overhauling in his brain,
Ashantis like to make money when someone dies .
I FIND IT EXREMELY DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND WHY THESE NPP PEOPLE ARE SO STUPID?
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST STUPID STATEMENTS EVER MADE ON THIS PLANET.
May be Ghanaians for once have better use for their money than to donate it to charlatans and thieves.If that's the case all well and good
U need not to be mp
Use your time and education to teach Ghanaians on how to desist from spending their money stupidly and lavishly on unnecessary things and stop blaming govt. I wonder how with your degree you can talk like this. This brings to ...
