Education, education is very good. It is unequal but if commonsense is not attached, education becomes like a mirage. Ghana is marking time at the same spot due to her educated elites who lack critical thinking.

Now, what and how will the new CEO do to settle the huge debt of $450m? Will the out-going CEO be entitled to his full service entitlements and for what reason? We have to come out with some measures to the extent if a Boss leaves any huge debt while running, he/she should be denied his/her entitlements as punishment. This will let future CEOs think before they act.

Pelicles did you read the article very well. If you did then I am sorry you did not understand it. The articles says VRA owes Ghana Gas and not the other way round. The writer sort to discredit him with that but as you can see the truth is there for all to see. Sipa Yankey deserves commendation and not condemnation. He has taken this decision because he does not want to work with the NPP who once imprisoned him. It's a pity but he should have continued his good works. He has the papers and knowledge to do other things so if you can't give him credit let him be.

It is calles bait and switch. Thats what the pro-ndc media houses are doing. They give you a headline as if to discredit ndc goons. such stories usually target npp sympathizers. After reading such stories you will realise that they rather doing a public relations job for ndc by talking about the supposedly good works. News flash TV3 or 3news, those who voted for npp are more discerning than your ndc gullible kind. Gold and montie fm in the making.

If you actually understand D what you read, the. You will be applauding the excellent achievement of this son of Ghana. Ghana gas has been supplying gas to VRA so you can see your stupid ingorant face in the mirror at night and cook your efuom meals. Ghana no longer has to completely rely on Nigeria for gas. VRA owes Ghana gas company. Not the reverse.

You people who are criticising Sipa Nyanky together with this reporter are very big fools who can't think out of the box. What does VRA use the gas for, the best way to pressure VRA to pay was to stop suppling gas them, so if he had done that who would have suffered. Gyimifo.

This man is a thief of the first degree. He, Kwesi Botwey, Kofi Buah through their front Chris Wilmot have stolen upwards of 500 million dollars from Ghana Gas. They need to be investigated and made to cough up the money. Chris Wilmot is under investigation by the US Justice Department for potential FCPA violation by a management company in Houston for a sole source contact for project management of Atuabo construction

Sipa Yankey did not conceive the Ghana Gas Project. The NDC came in 2009 and changed everything the NPP had started for the project to commence following the discovery of oil, including the site and contractors. This led to a long delay in the start of the project and additional costs.

This man looted Ghana Gas noney for close to five years . He signed dubious contracts with SINOPEC ; Ghana Gas office building, Bogus Operations and Maintenance Contract, and several useless contracts . Although, i am not an npp supporter, i would like the incoming Government to institute a full investigations into his activities at the Ghana Gas as CEO. The Oil and Gas enclave roads within the Nzemah area should be investigated.
Dr. Sipah was one idiots who never respected President Mahama. He called JM a small boy who came to meet him in the
NDC.
He was also stealing the condensate the company is processing at Atuabo.
The stupid 4m Dollar Right of Way maintenance contract should also be of interest to the NPP Government.
The npp Government should as a matter of urgency cancelled the Main pipeline compressor contract which is 74m US dollars.

After stealing condensate money for close to three years, you are now running away? I thought you said you were powerful than JM, why not stay and work with Akuffo Addo? Idiot! You were the main reason why we performed badly in the Nzemah area. I think we the Engineers of Ghana Gas are now happy that you are going away with your thievery. Go in peace.
I blame JM for his own defeat. He allowed this idiot to sabotage him.

You are a fool and all those commenting like u are big fool u don't understand what you read, I don't blame you because you are an not villager from the bush just like the writer who wants to mislead the public with his headline, or should I say he doesn't know what he is writing. Let me ask you this question, -if someone owes you how does that becomes a debt. Don't demonstrate your illiteracy here, big fools.

if there are so many people with fantastic education why is Ghana where it is. why is the book knowledge not reflecting on our leadership qualities.
good CVs but every day we are at the same place, useless colonial masters taught us that without a degree we are nothing, here we have degrees, Master degrees, etc but we can't feed ourselves, provide common water for our people , we live in filt with our degrees. its time for common sense.

Sipa is the biggest thief I have ever come across in my life. Not only did he steal tax payers money but he has left over a director who is an arm robber @Kofi Lartey. Forensic audit is needed immediately to put this former inmate of Nsawam back to jail. All your cronies Berly and Lartey will smell pepper. We will expose the rot you think you have covered. As a matter of fact Sipa is worst than Opuni and a serious disgrace to Nzemaland. As for the deals and dubious contracts all will be exposed soon. It still baffles my mind why NDC kept such a character in charge of a big company. No wonder the Mabey and Johnson case is still hanging. This guy is a discraze to lawyers.

Hmmmm. This Idiot together with his Boardroom cabinet made life uncomfortable for Engineers of Ghana Gas for close to five years. We are free now. I hope that arrogant lady called Bryl and her errant boy Douglass eill learn something from this.I have already reported some of the useless Managers who supported this idiot to Nana Asante Bediatuo. They will be fired very soon. JM caused his own defeat by allowing this idiot to stay to manage a very important company like Ghana Gas. No one from the flag Staff house eas monitoring him and digned dubious contracts with inpunity. Thief, go in peace

These PNDC guys came to take Ghana at ransoms and stole millions so any NDC guy could come and wreck the nation by stealing . How can such people create unusual debts for our children's children ? GHanaians tried to convince the PNDC to open up better democratic government until over nine good years when the Dzekukope mafia had taken what they wanted and bringing Wouome and Sipa Yankey as well as Mahama whose brother ended up running internal flights and the school children finding it difficult to walk to school . But let's see how Akuffo Addo will do it through NPP .
