BANKRUPT GHANA'S SUCCESSIVE LEADERS ARE MUMU! THAT'S WHY GHANA LEADERS KEEPS "GULPING" IMF LOANS LIKE NINCOMPOOPS IN THE MIDST OF PLENTY, WHILE A BAR OF 12.5KG GOLD EASILY SELLS FOR OVER £1 MILLION POUND STERLING ON THE OPEN MARKET AND ON STOCK EXCHANGES ACROSS THE GLOBE.

WHY ARE OTUMFUOR, KENNEDY AGYAPONG, SAM JONAH AND RECENTLY WONTUMI SOME OF THE RICHEST PEOPLE IN GHANA? - GOLD BARS SMUGGLING WHILE GHANA REELS IN DECADES OF DEBTS AND DOING "LALASULALA" FOR IMF LOANS.

OUR LEADERS ARE THOSE DEPRIVING GHANA OF MUCH-NEEDED REVENUES FOR DEVELOPING THEIR OWN ARSES FOR THE COMMON GOOD.

TODAY, GHANAIANS ARE NATURALIZING TO BE CITIZENS OF SOUTH SUDAN AND CROATIA AND GAMBIA. THAT TELLS THE EXTENT TO WHICH GHANA HAS BEEN DESTROYED BY THE VERY IDIOTS WE PUT ON THE PEDESTAL, PAY THEM GENEROUSLY TO IMPROVE OUR LIVING STANDARDS, INCLUDING THOS OF THEIR OWN ARSES.

So what are you going to do about that? We all know this already and have been talking about it for decades . “We can’t continue like this” has been said many times over the decades . No action to back it. The fact that you are even talking about it means you won’t or can’t do anything about it . Otherwise , you’d have kept quiet and worked at it.

We are tired of talking leaders. We already know the problems , we dont need you to tell us the problems. In Ghana , our leaders get into positions and tell us what the problems are instead of solving them

@honorable . Yes I’ve read the story. It doesn’t state the mineral commission boss’ prof erred solution to the problem he expounded . The story doesn’t mention that the government has taken over the mines and is going to contract local miners to undertake further business. This is information you have introduced. I’d be glad to read on the governments plans for the mines but This particular story doesn’t state that.

@As it should. Massa, go away with your too know. We've talking economics since independence; where have we reached economically? Is it his two line comment that hinders the economic development of Ghana? Economics is very important. Eternal life is also very important; even more important. After all, how many years will spend here? Even 100 years is nothing compared to eternity.

Of course, I support the Govt decision on the Damang. How we managed to give out our precious resources for peanuts over the decades is baffling. If govt wants to operate the mine, then it should not be by the regular SOE model. It should be by an entity like the GOIL model, but even better, more efficient, more independent of political interferences, listed on the stock exchange with the corporate governance. Not the usual 'cash cow' for politicians and their associates; not a 'dumping site' for employing political party people and family and friends. Not like the way GNPC and Ghana Gas Company have been 'hijacked' by govts.

For how long must the black man or African allow themselves to be stepped on? All that has been going on because little brown envelopes has been distributed to some shameless individuals who have sold the country short to the westerners. This money being quoted,why can't the country take over completely and all that money will stay in the country for much needed development. After all this years that mining has been done in the country, it is high time the people of Ghana owned their mines or at least 70% or 80%, no less of mining going on in the country.

We fail to see that those who bring in funds to invest have right to recoup their investment and also decide what to do with their profits. Instead of complaining like ignorant school boys; what we should do is 1. Encourage local businesses to INVEST in Mining and Oil and Large scale agriculture. 2. Discourage.GIPC from portraying Ghana as a cheap INVESTMENT DESTINATION. 3.Provide incentives for local investors to plough back some of their profits into other local enterprises. The Government has obligation to provide basic services for the people. That obligation should not be shirked under " SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY".

Ghana has idiotic laws and contracts that enables these multi nationals to rob and loot our resources unchecked. Corrupt Politicians and civil service officers are the enablers of this looting. How on Earth can a country allow a company make a profit of $600 million and the country gets zero from the profit. What stops the government from enacting laws to recquire these companies to file yearly tax returns in the country they work and make them pay income tax or stipulate a percentage of their profit be deposited with the Central Bank for the country's development. You go around chasing loans for developing when your precious resources are being looted by those you go for loans
