The amount involved is huge and this matter must not go under, without investigating to find the pepertuators behind this heist. Anyone found to be part of this loot, should be charged with crimes against the state. Why should people in positions, which pay big salaries and other benefits, uncomparable in the nation, go further afield to scheme to defraud Ghanaians?

@ Albert Amoh, thanks for your contribution. When I saw the contract amount, I was like: hold on a minute, are we talking about old GH cedis or new? Ask again; how much is the country's GDP for the BOG to award a contract in this gargantuan sum? Some one is doing someones dirty job. Since Mr Avle is the petitioner, he would have done us a world of good by publishing the contract details. Vultures bent on feeding on carcasses.

Why do we need the vice president to investigate corruption? The reason is that Ghana police is the dumbest organization in the country. Ghana police can only investigate petty crimes such as stealing of koobi (salted tilapia) from Makola market. Ghana police can't investigate and prosecute white color crimes. Fuck Ghana police!

What you are saying implies anyone can tell the government "I am Father Christmas. You don't need to pay me anything and you also don't have to worry about cost. Just let me make every road 4-6 lanes so I put a toll both every 20 kilometers and don't worry about the toll I charge and also note that I will charge these tolls forever and make sure the roads are well maintained. Later this Shylock turns round to charge GHC 10 on every road you drive on and that should be ok. So by the time you get to Tema from Dansoman, you would be paying Ghc500 daily for tolls because they are first class road????????
This is how stupid your analysis is.

Citi 97.3 FM, please give us a break. Allow Honourable Dr Alhaji Bawumia to settle in his role to participate in, intervene and oversee the preparation of the NPP's first budget for 2017 and don't drag him into another issue of contract abrogation and judgement debt.

President Nana Dankwa Akufo Addo has not even finished forming his administration and you come out with investigation of this nature.

Citi 97.3 FM, please don't disturb our eyes and ears so soon.

To me whether SIBTONS is for Agambire is irrelevant at this time.

Things like these when you hear them, oh Ghana !!!. And the thief Mahama himself was defending these thievery on the media, is he not ashamed of himself? We shall advocate fiercely for the repeal of the indemnity clause from the Ghanaian constitution so that this wicked Mahama and his partners in crime could be tried in the court of law for these economic crimes against mother Ghana.

5A 5000 YEARS OLD SECRET JINNI FORMULA THAT UNLOCKS THE MYSTERIES OF WEALTH AND SUCCES “THE HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING” A SECRET FORMULA unwritten until now, Remember the KINGS and their fabulous wealth? Even today the tomb of the KINGS yields spectacular quantities of GOLD, SILVER, and DIAMONDS AND OTHER PRECIOUS STONES. How did they ever amass these incredible riches? The ANSWER is given in this strongly HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING. The wearer of this RING gets AUTOMATICALLY anything wants he in his life, for e.g. MONEY, FAME, SUCCESS, HAPPINESS, LOVE, POWER, LUCK and so on, they are all yours 17 you are wearing the HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING. If you cannot see the light from where you stand perhaps you has been standing behind a pillar all this time. The appropriate time has now come for you to knock off aside the pillar which has been obstructing your success all these days and if you cannot knock off this pillar at least move out from behind it and see what all awaits you in this universe. Through the Gracious help of great GURU (SAGE) this hidden RING is brought out with a bold assert that no man has upon this world to pass away unannounced. Nobody is to bear a perpetual burden of privation and to court death as the ultimate resort beyond also suffering. This word of happiness is equally desired to be shared by all, but here are many who ping for it and in the long run fall a victim to relentless time not even able to make both the ends meet the other flourish happily in the lap of luxury and pleasure and roll on the bed of wealth. On the hold this GREAT RING after the performance of necessary ceremonies does not fall a prey to any serious malady, his life may be extended to one hundred years, fire, water and air cannot tarnish or destroy this person. He will never in any danger of calamity. Spirits, Demons, Evil of bad Luck, Evil spirits, Black magic will submit to him and never dare do any always pass their time in safety. The nine planets always smile upon them and even KINGs bear submission. This mysterious Ring is the best filler of all desire fear, Grief’s miseries etc. cannot appreciate to the door of the wearer: A person accounted with the RING may turn the council to see his opposes turn dump and loose the power of speech. It is the desire of the great GURU (SAGE) rather my behest that every person of means should hold this great RING which is permanent in stopping premature death. It is a river of vast wealth and reputation apenerial sources of fame and prosperity and the great amulet and charm of the world. Hold this Ring and make your life Glorious and great. Highly Efficacious. Life long and Durable. The cost of this power is too great but because on the special request of the world, I am charging all the devotees only a little amount of GH¢300.84.0547122212

Citi FM and Thur arrogant guy called Bernard and your politically tainted media house, how much of government money was involved. Why were you quite until there is a new Ghana even if the other companies had a case? They want to play victims? Tell those other companies we are privy to a lot of their deals. And what is wrong if Roland agambire is behind subtons? Is he not a Ghanaian? Or it's because he is a northerner? Why petition the Vice President? Using a northerner against a northerner abi? Nonsense why don't you send to Chraj, police, or go to court. May be you don't know this bawumia and governor were just not classmates but also very good friends and he knows how you cannot fault him in integrity
