Author:- Gyeeda, Sada, Suba,Bus Branding Woyome.....
Nana Addo is not corrupt but john Ford mahama is a traitor, devilish and surrounds himself with hardened criminals to kill destroy and steal.
It is so sad to see ourselves live in a state of fear and panic like this. Ghana is gone to the dogs. Ghana has turned to a murderous state. Three judges were murdered only because they worked hard to protect the integrity of the law courts. A whole president was miraculously murdered by his own vice because the latter was being investigated for taking steps to dupe the country when he John Ford Expedition Dramani Mahama led the processes that committed Ghana to the purchase of the grossly bloated Embraer 190 Aircraft and hanger purchase. In 2008, the Armed Forces had negotiated to acquire a hangar at USD5m. Two years later, Vice President Mahama returns from Rio de Janeiro with a cost of USD 17m, a whopping difference of USD12m. Also truthful is that an extra fuel tank on the Aircraft cost USD8m even as the staircase was said to be worth USD1m; thence the death of the ailing president bringing the investigation to an abrupt end.
That apart, we see some current day parliamentarians and leading members of the opposition party being slaughtered by these same NDC evil devils while the BNI and the police stand and stair or even play a role protecting these criminals. How could we allow ourselves to be overridden by these hardened criminals bent to distort, destroy and disturb the peaceful state we inherited from John Agyekum Kuffuour and NPP? It appears we are under a military rule. John Ford Mahama is playing the role of criminally inclined hypocrite, pretending not to be aware of the foolish things going on in the country. This foolish leader should rather call for these traitorous individuals threatening to kill judges to be slaughtered in full glare of the public in like manner as the normal firing squad only to deter others from engaging is such crazy stupidity.
Alister, Ako Gunn, Maase and all those involved in the plot to kill Supreme Court Judges must be given the whip by means of a firing squad so that this foolishness would cease to exist.

I strongly suspect that bringing GITMO to Ghana is a serious conspiracy that will come to light soon because people in conspiracy cannot rule Ghana any more. We are not not n communist state.

One of the reasons for poverty and Hardship in Ghana now is rooted in Dumsor.

Dumsor create poverty due to the resulting numerous inefficiencies from idleness.

Only a fool would suffer "Dumsor" and still support "Edey bee Keke".

The worse insult I can ever imagine that goes to millions of people. I cannot understand how some people think.

It is like an animal kingdom or ignorant ecosystem where gangs, criminal CIA and possibly some corrupt FBI with prejudice are imported into the country under the conspiracy use of GITMO detainees to use covert military-style weapons on Ghanaians including suspected killing of people with lasers and no leader is willing to even listen to me because of either fear or conspiracy or bribery as I suspect.

I see the use of these weapons are criminal and also human right violations by international laws; use of covert military-style weapons driven by satellite to destroy health, brains and nervous systems. The weapons include; Laser Weapons, Remote Neural Monitoring, Directed Energy weapons, Voice-to-skull Weapons, Electroencephalogram, Remotely-inserted brain chips, secretly inserted bio-implants, retina scans, stun gun cell phones, drone attacks, hacking of central nervous system, electronic harassment or torture, man-made sicknesses by weapons, emergency siren attacks on nerves, brain links, hypnotic inducer and mind control weapons etc.

There are some fools in Government who would use tax payers' money to commit atrocities and in communist style like Adolf Hitler and hide their faces. These are the criminals I would discipline by divine authority and NOT AMERICA because America is not the problem but the criminals who abuse the name of America in as they commit crimes and hide the atrocities and curse themselves by lying that someone sleeps with his sisters.

By divine order the truth will win.

So long as Kojo didn't secretly record the AG, it's his word against hers; hence, it is no surprise that he lost this arbitration. BUT the absence of evidence does NOT constitute a lie. In fact, if you examine the AG's statement to the NMC closely, you'll find that she is being economical with the truth.

Question: Assuming the AG thought the question asked by Kojo ought not be answered, why did she defer the answer to the question to the Foreign Minister? Her answer gives the indication that she wasn't as informed about the matter as was the Foreign Minister. The question is whether she actually verbalised this or Kojo inferred this from her answer. Either way, the fact is obvious!

U are wrong. Are u suggesting that the attorney general has no right to silence? Is she compelled to provide answers at anytime? She has a right to answer or not. Kojo inferred that bcos she refused to speak to the matter she didn't know abt it. Rules govern the conduct of journalism and nmc said it was wrong for Kojo to have asked without introducing himself and stating the purpose of the interview. Kojo lied and behaved unethically. He and ppl like u shd be magnanimous to accept your mistakes and move on. No human being is perfect. I wished she sued him in court to squeeze some coins out of him. Journalists in this country think bcos they have access to radio they can say anything. Mugabe of Muntie fm is sweating in his pants at the supreme court. Lets be truthful and report accurately.

Not introducing himself properly might be unethical. Putting out a statement based on inference might be improper. Neither, however, is sufficient basis to conclude that Kojo lied. Nor is your claim that Kojo inferred from the AG's silence necessarily factual. Indeed, in her reported statement to the NMC, the AG indicated deferring the answer to Kojo's question to the Foreign Minister. Now, in doing so she might have implied that she was less informed on the matter than the foreign minister. The question is whether she verbalised this or Kojo inferred it from her response. Here is where Kojo erred, perhaps from inexperience. Unless he had the AG on tape, he should have known that she was going to deny a claim that was going to make her government look bad even if she did indeed state so. But to jump to the conclusion that Kojo lied because the AG says so, or because some journalists threatened journalists is total bollocks!

Is it every question that a minister must answer? There are certain issues you refer to an appropriate person to answer it better. Why do you think she must answer at all cost? He is expected to introduce himself and state why he is interviewing her. It is unethical to disguise yourself to interview her and later put her into the public domain. Those are archaic way of journalism

AUTHOR: JAB-------**--guys are you crazy? You guys are fools that's why you call yourselves "young Cadres". If this is not a bribe what will it be? Guys don't talk about Peduase lodge, a gift from Ex- Libyan President to Kuffour. The question is if someone is your friend, that person is awarded a contract which is inflated and later spent $100,000 on a gift to the friend. What will you classify this? Let's say the person is not the president of Ghana. You guys are suffering and you are defending this nonsense. When there are too many fools in a country that is the end result.

He is a peaceful man and Ghana can not afford to change him for a divisive, arrogant and war mongering personality like your mentor Akufo Addo.

Kufuor never brought 4 genocidal warlords, neither SA mercenaries to train innocent NPP youth to the slaughter. When NPP was in power we saw them. They couldn't provide one regional hospital, or eliminate schools under trees or abolish the shift system in basic schools.

Ghanaians are not fools like u AIKINS who will attempt to overthrow Kwame Nkrumah for the second time. Akufo is evil and I will explain to your foolish conscience next time . Fool

When people holding public office open their mouths anyhow, journalists should not be blamed. What if he had played a tape and not commenting on it just like what happened in the David Cameron's comments that Nigeria is one of the most corrupt countries in the world and published in most newspapers in Great Britain. Public office holders must rather know where and when to open their big mouths and not blame messengers of their loose talks.

Every citizen in this country has a right to belong to any party they choose; but it is utterly shameful for Journalists, particularly those from the Multi-Media stable, to use the public airways, to prosecute a DEFINITE political agenda, all in the name of freedom of the press!
The Akan companion of Joy FM, Nhyira FM, with its discredited political show host, Kofi Asante Anning, played a pivotal role in bringing down the immediate past Chief Executive of KMA, Kojo Bonsu!
Slowly, all these charlatans are going to be exposed for the public to see who they are.
