    Spare me with this lawless president who now could tell he is two individuals "Mahama as a person or Mahama as a president". We all heard him saying, Eimm.... instead of his trustworthy. Don't let him fool you, Mr APPIAH.

    It would in deed have been a record if Mahama has appointed a known opposition member into his government.
    I am looking for that day when a suceediong govt will retain at least one person for his professional ccompetence

    Mahama could have appointed an NDC Person. There are NDC die-hards who have the BALLS to fight Corruption.

    Nii Adjei Okai, formerly of CEPS, is one such person.

    So long as nobody goes to jail, it will continue. Our leaders have failed us, all over the continent of Africa. Sad indeed.

    It could be that Mahama is not corrupt, but he is aiding and abetting corruption and that makes him corrupt.

  • NANA AMA 7 years ago

    President Nana does not condone corruption and it is evident in the manner in which his administration had streamlined the activities of the NSS. In the space of one year, the NDC was able to remove over 35,000 ghost names fr ...
