DR BAWUMIA ,THE PROPHET, ON THE $250 MILLION NDC TOOK OUT OF THE $1BILLION EUROBOND FROM BOG AND DEPOSITED FOOLISHLY & NONSENSICALLY AT THE UNITED BANK OF AFRICA (UBA)--------READ BELOW------ Beyond the issue of legality, there is the issue of prudence in the management of Ghana’s resources. How do you go and borrow money for 10.75% (US dollar) and give it to someone to lend it to you at over 20% (GHC)? In effect you are paying over 30%! Assuming stable exchange rates, Ghana will be paying additional interest of at least $50 million a year on this transaction. It really is reckless. The government is claiming that the funds were “idle”. Really? What does that mean? Why do you borrow funds and pay interest on it if you do not have use for them at the moment? It is clear that the GIIF does not have a portfolio of projects ready to invest in and it is weird to allocate a whopping sum of $250 million to them at this time. Is the Minister aware that the country owes N-Gas some $100 million? What about other contractors who are owed money by the government? How can you owe so much, have so much to do and yet claim to have “idle” borrowed funds? The allocation of such an amount to a private bank also has major macroeconomic consequences for a relatively small economy like Ghana. It increases the deposits of the banking system and ultimately the money supply. It has inflationary and exchange rate depreciation consequences and would make it more difficult for the government to meet its inflation target. I am surprised that the government is oblivious of these consequences. The Funds should stay at the Bank of Ghana. After all the Bank of Ghana, on its own or through its external fund managers of the caliber of internationally reputable banks like UBS, JP Morgan, Citibank, Merrill Lynch etc. can undertake whatever investment of the country’s foreign exchange that the government would like it to undertake

Victor Lawrence is a true born Ghanaian. His father was the respected Inspector of Schools in the 40s and early 50s. Victor entered the then Government Boys Primary School, Adabraka (opposite Farisco)in 1950 and continued to the Senior school (now Kinbu). From there he entered Achimota school for his secondary education. We were mates. I went to the premier college for boys, Adisadel the famous college.

if this man was living in the US in the 1960s, educated in the Us and has his PhD in London and has always worked his entire life in the US and Uk. What makes us think, Ghana has anything to do with his achievement.I mean what did Ghana as a country contribute to this man's success probably apart from the fact that his parent are Ghanaians who probably might have left Ghana very early on in their life!! We should fix our educational infrastructure and equip our young ones to compete globally instead of patting our backs on one's achievement and sucess for which we as nation has nothing to do with it or has not contributed to in any way shape or form

Never expect the white-owned media to tell you about such feats. Blacks kids to know of such inspirational stories. We must not celebrate and promote only money-bags, rappers, and ballers. The "brains" too matter. Other races have low opinion of the black race. We are seen as God-created poor,stupid, not intelligent enough, and have criminal DNA in our makeup.

To God be the Glory.

Why don't Ghana use blockchain technology? So simple and secured. Wall Street is late as usual and adopt the technology, why not Ghana EC?
