Even if the sale of the bonds were sub contracted to book makers, we need to know whether the public were informed through different media like the newspapers, radio, TV and online. How long did they announce the issuance of the bond in the media? It is ethically wrong to have one person or institution buy 95% of a bond that has a very high interest coupon. I believe if the bank of Ghana were to seriously inform GhANAIANS IN THE DIASPORA in big cities like New York,London, Toronto, Hamburg, Sydney, etc. these diaspora Ghanaians would have bought the bonds too. IN that case the interest coupons will be helping build mother Ghana because the diaspora Ghanaians end up sending huge remittances home and end up investing in the Ghanaian economy. When TEMPLETON gets the coupon interest, it amounts to capital flight because the money is wired to the US. When will we Africans learn to develop and stop being exploited by the white man? The state of Israel has fashioned out an ingenious way of making diaspora Jews help build Israel, by selling bonds to diaspora Jews in a widely publicised marketing strategy in all world capitals. The argument being made by Ken Ofori-Atta that the hitherto secretive method of bond issuance by the kleptocratic governments in the past is the same process he used is very disingenuous - why call a previous regime corrupt and come to repeat the same mistakes they made? Where is the corrective sense of probity, development, and accountability of the NPP ? How about the accusation that there is a seeming conflict of interest between Ken Ofori-Atta's position as Finance minister and his business interests? WHAT ETHICAL CODES OF CONDUCT ARE IN PLACE TO AVERT INSIDER INFORMATION AND TRADING IN THE BIDDING PROCESS? Insanity is defined as doing the same wrong things over and over again and expecting different stellar results

For so long, your party has been led by half baked individuals and thieves. People like you cherish to remain in perpetual ignorance. Learn to learn.

If he is arrogant and competent, no problem. We gain at the end. We just got rid of arrogant people who were incompetent as well. Everyone, except themselves, were the losers!

This finance minister is a first class thief, instead of telling the populace about the bond, he is rather attacking those that question him, thieves, they lied their way to power again to milk us dry

you're pretty ignorant aren't you. if you're in the diaspora and you want to buy a bond in Ghana you speak with your broker. Additionally, government issuance calendar is on bank of ghana website and all professional financial market participants know how to communicate this information to their client.

The finance minister was asked to provide documents and and not to give lectures. Those specific documents have not been provided yet. He's just beating about the bush. Now it's clear he's hiding something and that amounts to corruption. The minority and Ghanaians in general must push for full disclosure. The Minister is a liar and all liars are thieves and vice versa.
