This selfish greedy corrupt minister is only a symptom of this criminal mafia full of anti Akan prejudice and hate. We pointed out last year that all their projects were burdened or tainted by immoral corrupt selfish greedy appetites of the ndc and the kleptomaniac brothers of pepeni omanhene. If these projects ever make it to parliament or the president they are normally half baked very flawed or contaminated as the monies that should have been invested in the project development were spent buying favor or bribing ndc foot-soldiers , bureaucrats , technocrats etc into compliance. Now pepeni realizes he has less than 2 months to actual start something spectacular that if it doesn't win him the elections at least secure him a sizable strong opposition. If there in no success story then NDC will be rejected en mass by the people and fall to 10% of support which will mean that party will never again be entrusted with the helm of government. Most ministers will end up in jail or exiled if there is a peaceful transition , if they cause war almost all of them and their families will die horrible deaths in the imminent cutlass revolution .

Mahama is so heartless, wicked and corrupt that he wouldn’t blink stealing from a helpless orphan. Please read the following:
Ghana’s President Hurls Insults At Obasanjo At African Forum In London-bloomberg

There was near pandemonium and confusion at the Annual Global African Investment Forum held in Westminster, Central London after a heated exchange between Ghana’s President John Mahama and former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo degenerated into open insults.This was due to General Obasanjo openly accusing the Ghanaian president and his government of blackmailing and collecting bribes from Nigerian businessmen in Ghana, buying numerous properties in Nigeria and South Africa and financially contributing 12 million dollars to Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign last year. This infuriated President Mahama who lost his temper and pointing his finger, called General Obasanjo an ” idiot” and a “silly buffoon”.It took other ministers present as well as Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni to calm tempers and usher President Mahama to a nearby room. The forum, which takes place from 1st to 3rd December is attended by African Heads of States Ministers, Private equity firms and investors to discuss opportunities for investment and development in African Economies.

News about Dzifa Attivors thievery has gone international. Read about how the international media reported it and the global comments that followed.

Accra (AFP) - Ghana's transport minister resigned Wednesday after a controversy erupted following reports she spent about one million dollars to repaint over 100 buses with portraits of the country's recent leaders.

Dzifa Attivor had commissioned a private firm to respray 116 imported passenger busses with the faces of the West African country's past leaders and current president John Mahama.

But the seemingly innocuous branding exercise became a rallying point for the opposition party and anti-corruption campaigners, who used the issue to criticise the ruling party's economic management of the country.

Attivor's resignation is the first in many years for Ghana and comes after citizens filed a court action against the government demanding details of the bus contract.

The contract "did not ensure value for money," said Ghana's government after reviewing the bus painting deal and called for a reimbursement of some of the money.

Ghana's economic growth has stalled in the face of tanking commodity prices, with the ruling party coming under fire for wasteful spending in the run up to presidential and parliamentary elections next year.

Earlier this week, President Mahama banned first class travel for public officials, warning them to avoid "unwarranted" trips.

The country was forced to look to the IMF for emergency loans to help bolster its ailing economy, struggling to change its fortunes amid a power crisis.

As part of the agreement with the IMF, Ghana's authorities pledged to rein in spending.

Corruption in Ghana and Africa is part of life and understood by many Ghanaians and Africans as normal. This is tip of the iceberg, if you have to dig through people in government civil servants and law enforcement agencies, you might have to put all of them in jail. I remember I was in Ghana in 2009 driving unlicensed car in the night, I was able to bribe my way out with three can tunas after I was pull over by the Police. Everyone wants you to pay bribe to get things done. So sad it's happening

Mahama can never rule an economy. He lacks the intelligence to rule a nation. He's the reason y there's so much hardship and corruption in the country. We cnt put the future of Ghana in his hands. We must all vote him out.

Old Soldier, your grandparents and your parents are fools. If not so you shouldn't have said Ewes are kids. Tell your stupid parents to teach you how to address people especially a whole tribe. Every Ewe is more knowledgeable than your stupid father who sexually assaulted your mother on his cassava farm resulting in your birth. Stupid guy, Ewes know what is good. Your drunkard parents need to advise you how to talk to a whole tribe. You lack parental control as a result of your drunkard father beating your mum which resulted in a divorce. You are from broken home and let me teach you commonsense: you may disagree or dislike an individual's attitude but that doesn't mean the entire tribe is like the person you dislike for no reason. You, your parents, grandparents and your abusuapanin are all fool for not teaching you commonsense. What have you achieve in life? You can't compare yourself to Ewes in anyway in terms of achievements in life. Is it education or what?

Mr president you have failed already. All these your current actions are just camouflage, you are now trying to tell Ghanaians that you can do the work so we should retain you. But the majority of Ghanaians have already made up their mind to vote you out. 2017 will be worse for Ghanaians if we make a mistake to retain you. You have gradually collapsed the country, now you need total destruction it can't be possible. Prepare for your exit Ghana needs somebody who will think of the people who vote for him.

The Chief looter John Dramani Mahama is chasing a sub-looter Sylvester Mensah because this particular sub-looter wrote a book, and at some point questioned how the succession plan in their party of looters was going to be rolled out, and where he stood in that process is now being chased into the bush?
Isn't it funny the Chief looter feels threatened the sub-looter wants to dethrone him to assume the mantle of looting in their party?
Who doesn't know Sly Mensah through looting and stratospheric incompetence had collapsed the NHIS, who doesn't know this?
Who doesn't also know through this same stratospheric incompetence, he Sly Mensah was used, as has been the case of most of them, to fill and bastardize the electoral register and rendering it bloated and lacking credibility, using the NHIS cards, which was subsequently rendered null and void by the Supreme Court?
Or Sly Mensah has threatened to spill the beans and thus, the unleashing of the Woyongo's boys at the BNI to go after him?
Whether the Chief looter puts you in the can or not, one thing is for certain, you were used just as most of your colleagues were used and continue to be used, Dzifa Aku being the recent casualty.
John Dramani Mahama has however failed, and he is going in 2016.

Wait a minute! I can't believe this .Did seven heavily armed BNI officials went to Mr.Mensah's residence on New Year's eve? For What? Why should they wait until the evening? What were they doing during the day time? Did they actually threatened to shoot the dog? This is an action which warrants criminal charges against the officers. Animal Cruelty and attempting to kill an animal for no justified cause. For what should as much seven armed men go to one person's house to arrest him?Did Mr.Mensah ever refused to honour any invitation from the BNI ?I'm not in favour of mismanagement, misappropriation or stealing by Public Officials but I think the Civil and Human Rights of Citizens must be respected and protected by all no matter the circumstances. This is somebody who has respect for rule of Law and authority and as such was prepared to turn himself in so for what should Security Persnnels go to his house in the evening. Mr.Mensah, I think you also has a case to make even if you are found guilty in whatever happened at the NHIA. Investigations are not done through intimidations and threat. The revolution era is past and gone.
