The hopeless Embraer jet thief, Mahama, could rather pay Mo Ibrahim foundation winners for the next 20 or so years to come. Ghanaians have short memory else one could realized that the money Mahama maid from the transaction of the five made in Brazil Embraer jet planes in 2010 and the stolen gold which was intercepted in Turkey can buy one big ginormous power badge to supply the whole of Bole-Bamboi and its environs with uninterrupted electricity supply for many light years to come. But this greedy president would rather buy a private jet in his equally greedy half Trokosi brother's name to give free jolly ride to the Yentie Obiaa dancer, the greedy Asante overlord.

Come on now, and where are his partners in crime today, the EO Group?
The load of Guilt is too heavy on his head and Mr Jonah must not attempt making it worse on him with the above narrative. The Ex-President would have wished his 2nd Term different from what he did! He saw the light, shortly after he left office with the collapsed of his famous Ex-Presidents Club; non of the past leaders found any 'grace' to join, because, each one saw it as a screen for KU4 to cover-up his mess.

JA Kufuor is the most corrupt President in our history. A man who connived with Sam Jonah to sell Ashanti Goldfields on the cheap to the British company, Anglogold, and went on to have a lavish party in Buckingham Palace with the Queen. JA Kufuor the thief, who sat in his office all by himself and negotiated the sale of Ghana Telecom and forced the hands of his NPP majority in parliament to approve the deal, not by a secret ballot as the Constitution demands, but by acclamation.

Mo Ibrahim is not that stupid as to part with his hard earned $5 million to the corrupt and morally bankrupt JA Kufuour. Who else in Ghana will defend Kufuour's performance except another morally bankrupt son of Sam Jonah.

Ghana knew of the existence of OIL in the late sixties, and its a disgrace and shameful KU4 had no clue. When the news was sold to him at OSU, his initial response was of a COOKING OIL!

Truly corruption has always being present in Ghana,but it is worse in the past few years this current NDC administration. How can this present borrow about 100 billion cedis in just seven years while they can even resolve a power crisis? So what have they done with all this money?
I just have lost all hope for this NDC government.
Just imagine what Kufour would have achieved for Ghana if he had half the resources Mahama have had?
Ghana needs competent leaders to get us moving in the right direction.
We need a fixing of our education system,we need to build our transportation corridors,that is roads and railway tracks before thinking about Tamale airport.
Our President Mahama has lost focus.

What an ignorant junk of a goon !

Didn't your owners tell you that Kufuor turned a HIPC country into a middle income country without the benefit of oil revenues ?

Didn't your owners tell you that when crude oil hit the all time high of §143 a barrel, there was no dumsor or fuel shortages of fuel price increases in Ghana even though Ghana was not exporting oil then ?

Didn't your owners tell you that in 2007, when there was a global hike in cereal prices with the resultant food riots in Egypt,Mozambique, Pakistan,Bangladesh,Peru e.t.c, there was no food shortage in Ghana, even though Ghana had no revenues from oil ?

Didn't your owners tell you that when the global financial melt down occured in 2008 resulting in even major economies like USA catching the "flu",Ghana under Kufuor's administration caught no "cold" ?

Stop advertising your ignorance and semi-illiteracy here, my stepson !

Why did not they search for the oil in Lake Bosumtwi but rather the same place Tsikata mounted rig?

if Mr Jonah have forgotten about Kufuor and his corrupt regime. some of us do vividly recollect his corrupt and nepotism and tribalistic regime. just go back and compare all the monies that came in during his regime and yet he left the country more impoverished than he came to meet. just compare prices of goods and services under Rawlings regime and compare it after 8 years of Kufuor regime and see. Even prez Mahama is better than Kufuor. Atleast we can see the projects for ourself not the hipc toilets all over the place. why did npp not win and still struggling to be a political party. Anyway you have always been against the Ndc.

The problems confronting Ghana is not the doing of the farmer, fisherman or the poor 'kayaye', but so called bottomless think tanks or pots. Who heaps praises on Govts they benefited from and denigrate Govts they are not part of. They never offer solutions , but always see the wrong side of governance. The hell with their degrees which they use to steal from the poor and vulnerable.

Compared to Rawlings, Mills & Mahama, Kufour governed very well. In his 8 years in office the economy performed better than the 19 years reign of power of Rawlings. As for corruption was his administrations more corrupt than any NDC Government? You only have to look at the international appointments that he has been received since leaving office to see that his achievements have been recognised by other countries around the globe. How many international appointments has Rawlings recieved who was Head of State for over twice the period of Kufuor?

Kwesi Jonah, do u know why Rawlings calls Kufuor a thief and Kufuor can't say foko? It is b cos Kufuor stole 3% of GHANA's OIL for himself and family. Is that what u call good governance? Do u know how many schools, Power plants and hospitals this could have built? If 10% gave Ghana $3 billion, then Kufuor's 3% gave him $900,000,000. Is that what u call good governance? Indeed Kwesi Jonah is a stupid fool. From now onwards visit the female toilet. Fool.
