Why do you insult him? Is the military for the ndc? Why are you people so stupid like that, do you think ndc owns Ghana? You insult people when they talk against the EC and you insulting now about their dubious bank which is being forced on them by John mahama and his cronies including the Chief of Defence Staff. Where will ndc be if these military you are pushing them too much against the wall revolt? John Mahama must be careful with his games since junior military officers revolted against their senior officers in 1979, he shouldn't pretend he wasn't born by then. History could repeat itself, the way this ndc is handling the country.

to protect Ghanaians or to do business?

Can Ministry of Agric, Works and Housing, health also engage in business?

can businessmen also form Military? These are rael questions that we need to address as a country

KWASIA, WHO ARE THE PROTECTORS OF THE NATION? MINISTRY OF AGRIC ETC HAVE THE BANK OF GHANA. THIS IS A SPECIAL ABNK CATERING TO THOSE WHO FIGHT IN PEACEKEEPING, WAR DUTIES. DO U KNOW THE HEALTH EFFECTS OF CAARYING A GUN AND ENGAGING IN BATTLE? EVER HEARD OF PTSD. THE GOVT HAS SHOWN THEY ARE NOT CAPABLE OF PROTECTING THE FINANCIAL AFFAIRS OF OUR ARMY MEN AND WOMEN. SO LET THE MILITARY DO IT THEMSELVES, WITH GUIDANCE FROM THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR. GOOGLE CANADIAN DEFENCE COMMUNITY BANK AND USAA

Are u alright? Do u really think? Think u don't reason properly. What do u mean by Bank of Ghana is for the Ministries and a special bank for soldiers because the shoot and go on peacekeeping operations? Your logic is flawed. Your reasoning doubtful. Think as a human being who thinks and thinks properly. Where did you ever hear that the military operates a bank. The military can perform some functions that has to do with emergency operations eg health services, engineering services, research, etc but not finance, business, etc.

Another example of the lawlessness in Ghana. The military's mandate is to defend the country, not to make shoes.

Apart from diverting attention from defending the country to running a business, the state will lose control over the military if they are allowed to generate their own sources of revenue. What will they do with the money they generate? Will it go into government coffers? Will they buy their own weapons?

Just see what is happening in Egypt. The Eqyptian military runs businesses and that country has never known peace - they stumble from one military dictator to another.

Ghana is playing with fire!!

the bank is the best thing that has happened to serving personnel in the Ghana armed forces in a long while. it will definitely afford us the opportunity to take loans at a much lower interest rate. if fact if the soldiers had not frustrated the Earline plans to get us to be share holders, it would have afford those of us who contributed seed morning for the bank to be share holders. GCB in Burma camp is the richest GCB bank in Ghana basically because of soldiers money and am sure they are afraid of collapse and may be behind some of this negative news in the media to frustrate the setting up of the bank. the idea of the bank is good. we want it. however measures should be put in place to make it work effectively. we dont want soldiers at forces pay office to be part of it. there already stealing.

Then resign and form ur own bank. The military has its objective to protect Ghanaians from external and internal aggression and not to compete with other Ghanaian businesses

Wuye aboa.that is why The DO VEFORE YOU COMPLAIN MENTALITY IN EVERY SECTOR OF OPERATION IS KILLING THE SOMDIERS WHILST MOST OF THE COMMISSIONED OFF I ERA BECOME POLITICIANS. FIRNING THEIR QUASI INSIDE GRADY G COMPANIES -one example is teaming up with legitimate COMPANIES and orderibgvtheir Cif orders from UN peace missions and soldier's orders be e.g. arrive in ghana and it's became a scam by the off I era involve and nothing is do e tovretireve their neighbourhood oney because do before you COMPLAIN. No voice. And areforcing soldiers to chanelling their pay into AFBanks. Then that i e you cannot talk if the Sixers pay is being misappropriated. Its can be a good cause like USAA military bank and services. But ghana You ikutary officers their scrupolouse way of doing things now is questionable

USE MODELS FROM Canadian Defence Community Banking AND USAA TO EMPOWER AND EDUCATE THEM. THEY ARE NOT FOR IT BCOS THEY HAVNT BEEN EDUCATED.
