Nobody can hide the light and true destiny of the great nation of Akan. they use all kinds of schemes and tricks to undermine or deny a proper standard to us but we shall never surrender. we shall change and adapt as like the Israelis we are the chosen people of God and he in his great design has made us diverse but unified in spirit. the ashantis like the tribe of Judah are and will remain an integral part of our being to to attack any one part we all end up feeling it sooner or later. they have succeed in turning some of our chiefs and kings against us and work for their evil ungodly agenda but we still see clearly . God has brought us into the 21st century and with that a new system of governance and state of mind based on democracy since it is HE alone who blesses the individuals with the gift of leadership wisdom and justice irrespective of status at birth. he has shown us the blue print of the way forward in the bible and other holy books and the time has come to free ourselves from this man made bondage called Ghana. just as in the Ukraine we must fight so the truth will come out , fear not the battle as they will crumble like the walls of Jericho . cast away our so called fake leaders and politicians who are nothing but cowards and like our enemies fear even their own shadows . yes God has put a million fears in their empty bodies as he who does not fear the Lord , the Lord will ensure all fears of the world will reside in him. They threaten us with superstition , juju and what have you and we say fuck you and go to hell as the divine power is with us . Yes all the tribes of Akan are fingers on the same hands and God has ordained we remain united so our strength and light will be visible throughout the whole world and universe , our time has come . everyday its becoming clearer and clearer to all children of Akan that we must prepare mentally for a battle of freedom . they come with tricks that say we must take a non Akan as our leader because its nice ? do they not think that out of 30 million Akans we can not find sensible down to earth leaders and warriors to lead our own people to our own destiny? a govt of the people and by the people is what the 21st century democracy is all about . let them continue to play with the consensus and other figures that justify their fantasy and enable them to marginalize the participation of the Akan majority in the Affairs of their own land , to marginalize us thus preventing us to afford a better standard for our people . The had of God has given them pestilence after pestilence but they refuse to let our people go , soon they will be swept away like chaff in the hurricane of fury . Long live the republic of Akan and don't you forget it as now the Fanti speakers, Twi speakers, Ashantis and other tribes of Akan are now one .

Bribe taking has been with us since the first republic and it will never go away because we have failed to address the issue then give it our blessing.

This man has moved through a parliament where car loans could only buy second hand vehicles, where the fear of RAWLINGS did not permit bribery or reduced it to the barest minimum(reserved for only men of intergrity as defined by RAWLINGS) to one where car loans can buy NEW V8 and bribes can get you a property in Dubai. Due to his possible humble upbringing he is simply fedup with some 20years plus of progressive and accelerated bribery. So he complains! the rest can only ask for a probe as that is the only way the matter can be watered down. We havea long way to go as unforetunately majority of those going into parliament are below the middle class and the bribery if it exists is useful to catapult them into the elite in the shortest possible time. Is that a good reason for those who have over fed on the bribe to be making noises? Should a retired armed robber who has acquired all his assets and educated all his children and is today very rich be advising the young and upcoming ones that the profession is not good!!! This is surely a bad one for Nkrumah's Ghana?

Parliament,is as rotten as the Ghanaian society.One way or the order we are all corrupt.It is either,we are involved in corruption itself,or we support it,by looking the otherway when we see it happening.
We are blind by partisan and tribal politics that, if our party or our tribes man is in power we support anything he/she does,thereby forgetting getting that Ghana even exist.
It will be good if we all pull together to fight this canker,because whether you are in position to steal and enrich yourself or not,at the end of the day it affects us all.
Because as we saying goes "the child who says it will not allowe its mother to sleep,will not sleep either"
Stop partisan and tribal politics and support the truth and Ghana.

People of GHANA, do not support POLITICAL PARTIES like you would support HEARTS or KOTOKO. Political parties are a GROUP OF PEOPLE who claimed they can MANAGE AFFAIRS of our COUNTRY for us. They do that FOR A LIVING, and we PAY THEM for what they do. You must therefore use your HEAD not your EMOTION to ASSESS THEIR PERFORMANCE. That is the ONLY WAY you can give them A FAIR ASSESSMENT. When they do a GOOD JOB you RETAIN them, when they don't, you KICK THEM OUT. If they COMMIT any CRIME whiles in OFFICE, you PROSECUTE THEM to serve as DETERRENT for others. This is the only way our country can move forward. Remember also that MEMBERS of PARLIAMENT are accountable to you, the people who put them there. MONITOR what they are doing and question them on it when they come back to you for RE-ELECTION. YOU HAVE THE POWER, not them. For those who PROPAGATE TRIBAL DISCRIMINATION, don't vote for them; and tell them in the face that you don't want GHANA DIVIDED. God bless every Ghanaian. Long Live Ghana.

THE CHAIR PERSON OF THE PARTICULAR COMMITTEE GOT THE BIGGEST ENVELOPE. THIS IS A FACT. IF THE MPS SAY THEY ARE NOT CORRUPT THEY SHOULD UNDERGO A LIE DETECTOR TEST, EACH OF THEM OR GO AND SWEAR TO THEIR VILLAGE DIETIES. WHY DO WE ATTACK ANY SUCH REVELATIONS. IT IS HAPPENING MY FRIEND.

It is my sincere hope the august house, will for once stop this ostrich behavior and confront the issue with sincerity as "watchmen" of the public purse. What is it that Hon. Bagbin said that is new? It will be far fetched of course to say parliament as an organ of government is entirely corrupt; but its a fact that some Hon. Parliamentarians are not only perceived corrupt, they are corrupt. Any attempt to pretend that there are no corrupt parliamentarians is not acceptable. Is the Minority leader saying parliamentarians are supper human beings? Parliament is certainly a microcosm of the Ghanaian society and so reflects the larger society. Parliamentarians are human and not angles and to that extent fall foul of corrupt practices. Parliamentarians must therefore do some introspection and confront the issues raised and stop the ostrich behavior as though they do not know there are corrupt elements in parliament. What happened when PC Appiah raised issues of corruption with the sale of the vodafon? What happened? why didn't the leadership call emergency meetings to address the PC Appiah's allegations and get to the bottom? So why now? This pride and arrogance must stop. Parliamentarians at the least allegation of corruption sit in the comfort of their seats to judge and call people, and institution thieves and corrupt; and when same is said about parliament, then hell breaks loose. See the way Parliamentarian treat Woyome and contrast that with the reaction of KT Hamond at the mere mention of the drill ship. Are we not suppose to be equal before the law? What arrogance and pride is this? Parliamentarians should know better and stop being ultimate Judges. Parliamentarians must be reminded that they are there to serve the interest of the masses/people and not their parochial and self-seeking interest.

"Speaking to the issue in an interview on Peace FM’s Midday news, the NPP kingpin asked Hon. Bagbin to present evidence to that effect to parliament for further action to be taken."
Any gift to Parliamentarians, either in cash or in kind, by any person, company or country trying to do or doing business with Ghana is considered a bribe. Those phones from Chinese companies, gifts from Vodafone, gifts received by our MPs when they travel on those official trips etc. are all considered as bribes. Any gifts received by our MPs when they help their constituents are all bribes. Those goodies delivered to MPs homes by people seeking their assistance are all bribes. In short, any gifts received in the performance of their duties, even when on vacation, is a bribe.
If these are not enough, I don't know what more evidence Ken is looking for.

Mahama led NDC government, the only party in African which post to eliminate corruption in Ghana and Africa at large is seemingly a treat NPP.
