A Bank submits a procurement document to PPA per the law and you intercept the document, making it appear as if the transaction has been concluded. Shame on you all. What a shame. You intercept documents to embarrass people.

That is the common law position. If the document had gone through the procurement process unnoticed, the BoG boss would have been jubilating by now. This is what you get when you appoint a political scientist as a BoG Boss. No wonder a history graduate is also sending Ghana into an abyss of hardship.

Put Ghana first before party. There are doctors, teachers, nurses, and other civil servants , and a whole lot of workers who have served thirty or more years in their respective jobs, they don't get expensive parting gifts like that of GoB, expercially, at this point in time, when Ghanaians are struggling to make ends.

30 years is a very long time to be loyal to one organisation. Rewarding such employees is not unusual but such practices is normally found within private companies.
Is it right in a period of austerity to display such affluence? Well no one would have complained if the cost of the watches was added to their pension instead.

GIVE THEM CASH, not watches.
The retarees and their wives would be happy to have GHc10,000 instead of gold watch. It is stupid to receive Ghc28,000 worth of watch when you can get cash to take home.

You take a costly foolish procurement decision then when you are condemned all you say is that you have not even paid for it yet. That's fine. You don't need to be surcharged or dismissed for causing financial loss. Just go and pay for it with your own money if you still think you deserve a $30,000 watch in today's highly in depth Ghana. If things were fine would you have a policy rate of over 20%

A central bank that is guided by strict regulations presents documents to the PPA for approval. The media intercepts and paints a picture of contract and purchase. If the thing is part of end of service benefit and procedurally it has to go through PPA what is wrong with it? People that have served 30 years or more what would you give them? I am shocked for this country.

The policy was enacted in 2012 when John Mahama ascended to the throne. I guess he enacted this policy in order to chip away some money through sole sourcing. When are these people going to stop stealing from Ghanaians?

Once you enter into an agreement to buy and the seller delivered the goods/services that meet the terms of the deal, you must pay. We are not idiots.
