There was another fraudster's trick used by imani. instead of a concise report,they have decided to over complicate their report in an attempt to confuse us but some of us do financial analysis for a living and cannot be fooled.
the thing we dont know is how much frankling was paid. he does have something in common with greenstreet

Scenario 1 NPP. The size of the economy in 2008 was sey GHC24billion and it grew at sey 10%, the resultant new size was 24 +2.4=GHC 26.6 (NPP).
Scenario 2 NDC. The size of the economy is GHC124billion in 2015 and it grows at 4%, the new size will be 4.96 +124=GHC 128.96.
Now compare NPP 10%=GHC2.4billion to NDC 4%=GHC4.96billion and see how statistics can be used to lie.
That is what Bawumia is either cleverly or ignorantly doing.

Dr Pink Sheets believes his ability to churn out figures and misrepresent them for political effect is all that is needed to win elections. He lost in this endeavor at the Supreme Court, the Non Ghanaians on the Voter's register and now this. Like a stubborn cat, when he is chased from one issue and reduced to zero, he resurfaces with a different one. Where is his boss? Already tired?

It actually sounds much worse than Ato Forson the Dep Min of Finance trying to respond to an accurate and intelligent analysis of the catastrophic mismanagement of Ghana's economy by Mahama and his bunch of incompetents.
IMANI has succeeded in confusing itself and exposed itself to ridicule.
You may differ on the methodology and analysis to arrive at the conclusion but the conclusions are sound, factual, accurate, and determinative.

Anytime you have to defend yourself to explain why you're critiquing one of two entities, you are unconsciously saying you're biased. Lately, IMANI has postured and proven itself as sold out mouth piece for reasons best known to itself. Cudjoe is no different a politician that will sell his conscience for riches with the passage of time and exposure to the luxuries of corrupt political life. It took Bawumia weeks to come up with his feed and only overnight for IMANI to fault. This speaks volumes for itself.

Foolish Matete. You are illiterate. Didn't you read that a court in the Volta region has asked the EC to remove over 5000 names from a particular polling station? Other courts in the VR have also ordered similar exercises. Where did those names come from. Non Ghanaians and minors etc. Fools will never read but talk.

Traditional Satanism is not simply an inversion, but a complete rejection of the images of a
0244908520particular culture, religion, or philosophy. From there a Satanist uses those images against the ethos itself, that was once his own conditioning. Persons who participate in traditional Satanic masses sometimes experience a king of 'sartori', a sudden enlightenment, to an increase in their own consciousness, and feeling stronger and satisfied because they had broken with the constraining opposites. In other words, at its highest level Satanism uncovers what the ethos of a particular community or society has covered up through images, dogma, words and ideas, returning the individual to the primal chaos out of which 'opposites' were created." ~ Magister Hagur, Temple of Atazoth Office

IMANI did nothing wrong in their analysis. Most of the issues they had were minor differences in how the calculations made by Bawumia. The central thrust of the IMANI critique was that in most cases Bawumia was using nominal figures. They would have preferred use of "indexed" figures that took into account inflationary depreciation that affects the purchasing power or value of money in one period from another period.

IMANI conceded that in some of what they were asking the methodology they would have liked to use was complicated and not easy to simplify. However essentially they concede that Bawumia's analysis was truthful and fact based - Taken from Seth Terkper and Kwame Duffuor Budgets, World Bank Reports and Ghana Statistically Services data. These are all reports generated by the governments of the day.

Bawumia, therefore has reported the facts, now it is for his detractors to refute those facts. IMANI has no way refuted the stated facts. Please read their analysis of the Bawumia presentation carefully be you comment. IMANI's analysis is neither anti-Bawumia or anti-NDC. It is a good and honest analysis.

Bawumia's report is however damning of the NDC government of the last 8 years especially the 4.5 years under Mahama.

Quote from the passage:”IMANI are integral to ensuring a sound campaign process to the benefit of all participants”.
These are some comment I have for “IMANI” to look into and comments on for Ghanaians :
1. Inflation does not affect foreign currency. Example: $100.00 (hundred dollars) now is the same as hundred dollars then when it comes to using the money in Ghana. This is because when exchange rate was $1.00 = ¢2.80 things or items were being sold at a rate relate to the foreign rate. I hope “IMAN” is solely comparing loans borrowed by “NPP” and “NDC”, is been done in dollars wise.
2. Where I would like “IMAN” to look into how “NPP” served Ghanaians as compare to how “NDC” is serving Ghanaians. Example: During ex-president Kufor regime (NPP) and current:
(a) We were throwing garbage away free of charge. – That is money ex-president Kufor gave away in terms of revenue.
(b) Every Ghanaian will tell you he use to pay far less in supplement of health insurance to doctors when taken care. That is money Kufor gave away in terms of revenue.
(c) Teachers training allowance given to student were far more under “NPP” time as compare with “NDC” if any. That is money ex-president Kufor gave away in terms of revenue.
(d) Doctors were basically leaving in their bungalows free together with reasonable allowances under “NPP” as compare to “NDC”. That is money ex-president Kufor gave away in terms of revenue.
(e) Crude oil was being sold at about $145.00 per barrel while prices at the pump was three to four (3 – 4) times cheaper at the pump as compare to “NDC” regime is selling at the pump. That is money ex-president Kufor gave away in terms of revenue.
(f) Look at electrical bills while crude Oil is about 200% cheaper as compare to ex-president Kufor regime (NPP). That is money ex-president Kufor gave away in terms of revenue.
(g) Look at water bills about 100% higher compare to ex-president Kufor regime (NPP). That is money ex-president Kufor gave away in terms of revenue.
(h) Look at School feeding. It was efficient and paid for without problems under ex-president Kufor. That is money ex-president Kufor gave away in terms of revenue.
(i) Have you, “IMAN” cleared things from the Harbour under this regime? Cost of clearance has gone up so much that is even ridiculous. That is money ex-president Kufor gave away in terms of revenue.
(j) Etc, etc …………
Now, I would like the “IMAN” to compound the amount that President Mahama has gained from over taxing as well as withdrawal of services to the public. With all the Oil revenues, and loans that the current government has obtained, there should be no excuse for any passionable person to try and defend the present government. The bottom line is that: “THE COUNTRY, GHANA IS NOT DOING WELL SO AS THE CITIZENS OF GHANA. THERE ARE A FEW INDIVIDUALS WHO HAS AMASSED WEALTH. THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN “NPP” AND “NDC” IS THAT “NPP” TRY TO DISTRIBUTE WEALTH TO GHANAIANS IN DIFFERENT WAYS OR FORMS WHILE “NDC” DISTRIBUTE WEALTH AMONG ONLY THE “TOP” “NDC” PARTY MEMBERS. “IMAN”, “GHANA IS HARD OOOOOOOOO!” All the data in the world would not mean anything to Ghanaians if they are suffering. Ghanaians are hurting let us face it.

It is a fact that the NDC Party do not want Ghanaians to know the truth about the Ghana economy because they have totally made a nasty mess out of it and there is no way they can get away with it when the next government takes charge.

Seriously who speaks for IMANI? Is it Kofi Bentsil or Franklin Cudjoe? Look every objective and discerning Ghanaian knows that, any time Dr. Bawumia has come out with his mastery analysis and exposition of the contemporary Ghanaian economic malaise under the NDC, our eminently qualified and astute economist and banker( Dr Bawumia) has almost always been right on target. Mr Kofi Bentsil's admonition to Ghanaians to take Dr Bawumia's analysis on the mismanaged state of our economy seriously is most welcome. We dismiss Dr Bawumia's distinguished micro and macro econometric analysis at our own peril.

Bawumia is a criminal ecnomist who want to paint black pictures of state economy for his political advantage and thinks by so doing the coming elections will shift in favour of NPP, it is only God who ordains a leader for a country,the prophet Samuel anointed King David by instructions from the Holy Spirit when God told him to go to Jesse home to chose a leader among Jesse's children, all the children were rejected by the prophet even though some were in Israel army,Samuel asked about all the children before Jesse remembered about David who was on the field looking after the flock of sheep and was asked to bring him and instructed everyone keep on standing until the young david arrived and immediately the prophet took the anointing oil from the bull Horne and poured it on David's head and anointed him as the chosen king of Israel. Politics is not by mathematics and analysis it is about buiilding solid footing foundations,infrastructure developments,of course economy plays major part and infrastructure developments comes with a price to pay since ghanainas will import everything from foreign countries to build projects so it means our state of economy will not be backed by the cedis the local currency so Dr Bawumia must give us a break unless he is blind to see what NDC government is doing for developments wwhich is for all the country.
