Beating about the bush. Azar thinks and writes like an azaa man. Laws in place in Ghana are the relevant specifics to talk about.

Clear case. Bribery case concluded in USA. It involved government officials in the NDC Mahama administration in 2015. President Mahama must take immediate action. Soonest than soon.

Will the NPP go on demonstration when Berko is jailed? Bawuliar will have to fly there with his entourage.

Let President Mahama make the mistake and try to run away to USA,like Ken Ofori Atta the American Courts will jail him for 60yrs. The American Courts currently have 2 Evidences against JDM to jail him, Airbus & this case.

@Kwasi, the man is an azaa man and, as you rightly said, if this corruption case occurred during the time of the previous government, he would have jumped over the roof with his usual buffoonery. He is a hypocrite.

GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL ONE
This is the era of the Airbus bribery that Akuffo Addo looked on unconcerned. Mahama is a smooth criminal and would have been in jail if Ghana was a serious nation.

it all started few years ago when i received a facebook message that a travel agency in Nigeria was recruiting Ghanaians and Nigerians for jobs in Canada, i sold everything i had and borrowed money from many people and kept sending them money for the travel to Canada, when i ran out of money to send to them, they invited me to Nigeria that my visa is ready, when i got to Nigeria they took the remaining money i had on me and seized my phone and refused to give me my passport that i posted to them earlier from Ghana, i was left stranded and resorted to sleeping under a bridge with some other homeless people and was begging people during the day for help to go back to Ghana, police raided the place i was squatting after some days and arrested everybody there, they took us to court because hard drugs and guns were found on some prostitutes and thugs squatting there, i was sentenced to 2 years in prison because i had no lawyer to defend me, i will finish serving my sentence in 3 months time and sent back to Ghana, my fellow Ghanaians please i need help of any amount of money so i can eat and treat myself, i have been sick and i have not eaten good food for sometime now, i don't want to die now my freedom date is near, no amount of money is too small to help me with, i will appreciate any amount of money sent to me and God will bless and reward the sender abundantly, i can work for the sender when i return to Ghana in 3 months time to pay back, we manage to use smuggled phones here to beg people through facebook and other social media platforms, this is how most prisoners here survive because we are very desperate, the situation here is so terrible, horrible and pathetic, infact we are in hellfire here, people die everyday here from starvation and minor illnesses like malaria and ulcer, please i need help urgently, i need to eat good food and buy malaria drugs to treat myself, the food they give us here is small portions of watery beans and jollof rice that can't satisfy a child, when an inmate is sick here and doesn't have money to buy medication, the prison warders will ignore you until you die or recover without taken medication, they may only give you paracetamol and antibiotics if you cry too much, but if you have money, the prison warders can buy for you good food and medicines from outside, i can be reached on WhatsApp via +2348140725576, this is my cellmate's number, some warders smuggle in phone for people here if you bribe them, i don't have a phone, when you chat, tell her you want to chat with Sandra so she can give the phone to me, please help make my story go viral so i can get help by posting my story and my cellmate's WhatsApp number: +2348140725576 on facebook and WhatsApp groups, please i need help, i'm suffering a lot here.

You have really shown your real colours of your name that you're really an AZAA man and a liar. You're behaving as if you haven't read all the verdict. Or is it because is about your lovely Mr Deadgoat and his ndc? Names like kwabena Donkor, his advisor, some cabinet ministers, some Parliamentarians from the ndc stock , and john mahama himself in coded like government official one has been mentioned. Sometimes people can't see what is wrong in their party because they are surrounded by those who made it feel normal. I was expecting you to inform Eoco and Special prosecutor to take charge of the case. How long is ndc going to continue to disgrace Ghana internationally? Kweku Azaa and some cso's who have made themselves the conscience of the state are the ones sinking the image of Ghana because they think of their stomach first before Ghana. They are symptoms of deeper deception and lies. How can Mr Deadgoat investigate his people and himself? The ndc is just full of hypocritical imbeciles, unapologetic buffoons, whimsical and capricious vampire. Negative thoughts can't produce positive results. Your lamentations is like a pitiful junkie .

Kwake Azar or whatever you called yourself, the narratives about this scandal should not be twisted we all know when it happened. John Mahama and NDC was in government when the whole bribery whatever took place and had nothing to do with NPP because 2014-2015 cannot be brought forward.

I hope all the officials in government who have caught in this scandal should be named for Ghanaians to know the type of people they are dealing with because NDC and corruption are inseparable twins.

John Mahama was caught in an international airbus scandal but was freed by out corrupt system and now this. Let's see how it played out through the media.
