    We're you expecting the US taxpayer, which includes some of us, to bring the money so your people in Ghana would chop as usual?
    Better they cut us off and we learn to stand up on our own! In 1957 what did we declare?

  • JD 9 years ago

    Abena you've got it right; 75% of this aid are shared among our greedy and stupid leaders. Deadly leaders! America must come and control their own aid.
