Mahama’s claim that he and the NDC left Ghana’s economy in good shape is a big lie. The recent IMF mission to Ghana has revealed that Mahama and the NDC rather mismanaged Ghana’s economy before they were disgracefully chased out of power. Joel Toujas-Bernate, leader of the mission, noted that: “In 2016, the overall fiscal deficit (on a cash basis) deteriorated to an estimated 9 percent of GDP, instead of declining to 5¼ percent of GDP as envisaged under the IMF-supported program. The large deviation was mainly due to poor oil and non-oil revenue performance and large expenditure overruns. As a result, the government’s debt-to-GDP ratio increased further to close to 74 percent of GDP at end-2016.”
He further welcomed government’s intention to control public spending and protection of the public purse.
“Significant public spending commitments that bypassed public finance management (PFM) systems were reported. We welcome the new government’s intention to conduct a full audit of outstanding obligations, its commitment to transparency and its readiness to take strong remedial actions to ensure the integrity of the PFM systems going forward.
The large financial imbalances of state-owned enterprises in the energy sector also need to be addressed with urgency to avoid the build-up of contingent liabilities for the new government. We welcome the new government’s commitments to encourage its departments and agencies to implement growth-enhancing reforms in a fiscally sustainable manner,” he added

The behaviour of those marauding young people was rude and condemnable. That is not the way civilized people behave and especially to women. The poor woman at the receiving end of that barbaric act will be traumatized for a very long time to come.
Assuming without proof at this time she stole the GHS1,100 the mob had no right to take the law into their hand and commit the shameful act.
Having said all that Ghana Police must bear some of the blame. Too often they would collect bribes and set off thieves free. I have heard of the police asking complainants to bring food to the station to feed persons accused of committing various offences, if they want those people to be held in police cells, failure to oblige such nonsense would lead to the release of the accused. If one is asked to do such thing, feeding accused persons, when they themselves struggle to have three square meals on a daily basis, next time they won't have confidence in the justice system, but take the law into their hands. We all saw the Anas videos of corruption in the judiciary. Why would the people trust the justice system anymore after seeing justices colllecting bribes to set off criminals free.
So to say, while we are condemning the uncivilized behaviour, we shouldn't lose sight of the fact the fact that the police and judges have played their part to erode public confidence in the justice system. If the people lose faith in the law to protect them, they are more likely to take the law into their hands and we all suffer the consequences.
Chances are that some corrupt police officer would have had weak knees and demanded sex from the woman to free her, seeing how beautiful she is. Blame the system. It is corrupt. Moral decadence and corruption has led to what we are hearing.

I wish Sarpong would come out his hole and comment on this report. He alleged that, this incident didn't happen this year and certainly not at Kejetia in Kumasi, but rather it happened in Accra and had been trending for a while now on social media. Now the facts had been released by the police authorities. I hope Sarpong will counter the police and contradict them. Sarpong is a typical NPP Asante sycophant who sees, hears or smell no evil, because this happened in Kumasi and particularly during the NPP administration.

I think it is dumb for the to even put their investigation out in the open. How can a man born of a woman humiliate a lady like this open her legs and stick their toes in her private part? I hope the police arrest them all give them 25 at nsawem for is nasty cruel behavior...and for the bystanders no one couldnt help the lady into a taxi???
