AUTHOR: OBI ------- It's sad that people are able to easily take/steal state properties. It's even more sad that it takes a few individuals to fight for the return of these properties. Any law enforcement agencies in Ghana??? People like ABRONYE DC should be commended and treasured. God bless Ghana!

All that these guys are saying is.......we struck a bad deal but under the circumstances we could do nothing else because it was an emergency.

Their excuse for incompetence is "emergency", that is how their whole arguments boil down to.

Smart would want to know: Why did they sit down for us to slump into emergency before they went to sign a deal which by all appearances was a jerky reaction? A competent government would have had reliable data, done the right analysis to forecast such emergency outcome and taken a very proactive precautionary measures to forestall such dire circumstances. These guys were sleeping on the switch and they are now asking us to understand and forgive them of their bad deal.

The Ameri deal was done is a haste because we hadn't planned ahead and hence the exorbitant price tag. It is akin to buying an airline ticket on a short notice. If you knew you were going to travel to a place, e.g. Ghana, by the look of things, you buy your ticket way ahead of time and get a very good deal. But if you sit around, dilly dally and wait until the eve of your travel, for sure you would pay high price relative to others on the same flight.

This is what happened. Mahama never planned ahead in terms of power needs of the country with all the signs and writings on the wall: climate change, dwindling water levels of the Akosombo dam, population growth and increasing demand for electricity.

Guys admit you were incompetent and your incompetence has cost us dearly. Lazy kleptomaniacs. All that they know is chop chop. They fool and we pay kwasea price for something that the manufacturer was selling for millions lower. In this day and age when the listed price of almost everything can be found on the internet it baffles my mind these guys want to throw dust in our eyes. Haba!

The fact that they financed the trip to Dubai doesn't matter. It is in the interest of Ameri to prove that the agreement was done above board, thus their offer to sponsor the trip. The fact that they financed the trip and still couldn't influence the findings of the committee is excellent for Ghana. If NDC were in power, the committee would have been compromised with Ameri's hosting.

Apart from punctuation you seem to have a problem with prepositions. You can be 'ashamed OF' something NOT 'ashamed FOR' it. Since you are so much interested in correcting other people's mistakes I will advice you to go to the market, perhaps the 'trotro' station, and buy for yourself a copy Grammar For Primary Schools.

A professional job must always be done irrespective of the sponsor. Well done Mr Addison, NDC please learn from this.

Hon Kwabina Donkor I respect you so much but this your comment does not make any sense to me here. If Ameri has done indeed a very fictitious deal and they are to be investigated isn't it make sense this committee made Ameri to pay the cost of traveling? or you expect poor Ghana to pay that cost pls? I think point would have make sense if this commettee after their good works, they defended Ameri rather and aided them to dupe the state as your and your babies with sharp ears and teeth have been doing on various judgement debts. I am sorry Hon Dumsor.

Ameri - has had no other large contract from ANY other country only Ghana if it was so good why

No other contract if this size would pay a whopping $150 million commission PURE DISGUSTING CORRUPTION

Witness on contract was a CROOK , after it was on news the crook "left company" straight after and was removed from website

The contract is full of corruption holes fuel running non running costs

Land - serviced by mahana brother...at way over inflated cost

Kwabena Donkor two things would have been wrong:
1. Had the commission recommended that Kwabena Donkor, took $150m but we won't say anything about it in our report.
2. Ameri were nice to us so we will tell the Ghana government to get on with it, the agreement is good for Ghana.

So if Ameri sponsored the trip and the contract signed caused financial loss to the State because Mahama built into the contract a corrupt mechanism that allowed people like him, Kwabena Donkor, Dominic Ayine etc to siphon over 150 million dollars, is Kwabena Donkor, Dr; suggesting Philip Addison should not report on the facts which is the contract was bloated for stealing to the staggering tune of over 150 million dollars? Is that what Donkor Kwabena, Dr. is suggesting?
I think the NDC party must just take their party certificate and go and hand it over to the EC. I don't know why the EC is not being proactive and asking the NDC party to surrender it's certificate. It is just not right. The EC must be proactive and request the political party certificate of the NDC party because the kind of things that are coming out from that party is very, very dangerous for even themselves.
The EC must immediately demand the NDC party surrenders it's certificate. The embarrassment to Ghana is too much. How can we have such a party as the main opposition party? What is happening in this country? Are we serious in this country? What is going on?
We repeat the EC must demand the NDC party surrenders it's certificate now.
