you’re the biggest fool and the most senseless person I’ve ever come across. What did you smoke before coming out here to comment? You leave your useless Ndc government to shift blame on the npp for the cocaine bust in France whiles it’s your useless Ndc government in power. You’re just a disgraced and a disappointed Ndc fool who’s trying hard to do a damage control for his government. You talk about Eric amoateng who was jailed for drugs many years ago but now the ball is in you and your stupid Ndc’s court so deal with it . Nobody knows the real culprits behind this shipment but if you can be stupid enough to justify it because an mp was busted years ago and served time in a US prison then you’ve justified your stupidity as an Ndc idiot who supports sanitary pads and nkoko nketenkete.

@Saeed Osman.. tell them!

How does that affect our reputation and what reputation are you talking about?

Firstly, the South American have been moving their drug operations to Africa since USA started cracking down on them.

What we should be spending our money on is, stopping elicit drugs coming into Ghana.

We can only try and stop them but not at all cost. The French have a duty to fight this as well so what is the problem.

Has India's reputation been damaged because of the elicit drugs flooding Ghana and West African from India???

Sady Susu is part of the problem helping the Nana Addo regime to remove the death penalty so I expect him to shut up.

Ghana should focus on stopping the drugs coming to Ghana and France would focus on theirs.

If France bans exports from Ghana, so be it. We can also find ways to ban French products which are destroying our employment and market.

France should be getting drugs from all nations down the year, how many have they received from Ghana to highlight Ghana.hey

If they did not arrest anyone in France, then that is their problem because they could have waited for the persons picking the drugs up.

If they have, then government should work with them to find their links in Ghana. That is how you stop drugs, not COUNTRY TAGGING.

We must rise up to the tricks of neocolonialism which France is notorious for.

Well, the people shouting most, NPP could be behind it and if this government finds them, please put their names out, we want to know what they are up to.

If they want to get help from Ghana, they must do it from State to state instead of this cheap nation shaming.

We are tired of their tricks.

Go and see how many migrants France pushes into UK each day without shame after taking lots of UK money to stop it.

Don't trust the French so easily.

Who took Ghana to the IMF in 2022? It was Dr Messiah Bawumia and Ken Ofori Atta- cum Akuffo Addo- The NPP Economic Messiah-Dr Bawumia. Ghana has been to the IMF 18 times- Ghana has spend 40 years under the IMF conditions out of its 68 years history-Ghana IS A FAILED STATE. Dr Bawumia pls aren't you embarrassed by revelations at the PAC on revelations of crime committed by the very people u and Akuffo Addo appointed to run affairs of this country? What record are u going to defend. I have lost respect for you. A muslim without intergrity.
The World Bank has pushed back against the erstwhile Akufo-Addo administration’s long-held narrative that Ghana’s 2022 economic collapse was the result of global turmoil, the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war.
Bawumia was the Chairman of the Ghana National Economic Management Committee but he says that he was the Drivers Mate. How can a driver's mate do this when he claims he never had the chance to implement anything in government because the powers that be did not allow him. Yet he wants to claim credit for any good things that he never did yet will refuse to accept responsibility for any failure in their government. How stupid does this man think we are? You took the cedi from 4 to 17 and still had the audacity to tell us the rate of depreciation at that time was better than the previous NDC administration. What at all does this man take us for? Does he think we're stupid or what? Someone should tell this man that we haven't forgotten about the DDEP haircuts and surely we shall punish the npp again come 2028.

It insisted that the economic meltdown was “homegrown”.

In its latest 2025 Policy Notes on Ghana, the Bank made clear that while the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine worsened the situation, they were not the root cause.

“The deterioration of global conditions… was not the cause of the 2022 macroeconomic crisis; rather, it merely exposed an economy already beset with deep structural vulnerabilities and precarious macroeconomic conditions,” the report said.

The government has frequently blamed external shocks for the collapse, which saw inflation spiral, the cedi plummet, and the country default on its debt.

But the World Bank said years of weak governance, fiscal indiscipline, and stalled reforms were the real culprits of Ghana's "dark days".

Interbank Market: Cedi trades at GH¢12.35 to $1

The bank also argued that the easy access to international credit and expectations of resource windfalls encouraged short-term political decisions at the expense of long-term stability.

The report noted that the cycle of expansionary spending followed by painful corrections, one that has forced Ghana into 17 IMF programs over the past 68 years, is damaging.

“Sudden macroeconomic stops and crises have led the country to request a record number of IMF programs, remaining under active IMF support for 40 out of its 68 years of history,” the Bank said.

The report also noted that more than 800,000 people were pushed into poverty in the aftermath of the 2022 crisis, with per capita incomes stuck at around US$2,200 for over a decade.

Today, more than a quarter of Ghanaians live below the poverty line, it noted.

Looking ahead, the Bank also raised alarms about Ghana’s fiscal management in the 2024 election year.

It flagged unbudgeted spending commitments of roughly US$4.8 billion, equivalent to 5.7% of GDP, much of it accumulated outside official financial systems.

“Spending indiscipline poses a critical challenge…undermining efforts to maintain fiscal discipline and compromising long-term sustainability,” the report cautioned.

Also, the energy sector arrears still cost around 2% of GDP annually, while COCOBOD’s debts reached US$1.8 billion in 2024, with interventions distorting markets and hurting farmers.

The bank warned that Ghana now stands at a critical crossroads, and temporary fixes will not be enough.

“There is an urgent need to signal a clear break from the past and a commitment to change… Success will ultimately be measured by the ability of the government to regain the trust of its citizens.”

Its recommendations are focused on restoring fiscal discipline, broadening the tax base, reforming state-owned enterprises, and enhancing governance.

Without decisive reforms, the World Bank cautions, Ghana risks remaining trapped in its cycle of crisis and bailouts for decades to come.

Listen to the crazy fool Sosu, the certified advocate of LGBTQ+ activities, and the promoter of gay and other unnatural sexual foolishness in the country.

This 'kwaseanpanin' MP is also talking about Ghana's international reputation: in the first place, what international reputation does Ghana have that the Madina 'ogyimifuo' MP is talking about?

Does a country whose citizens queue endlessly the entire day begging for visas and crumbs from other nations around the world have any reputation to protect?

...... and how credible are the "Odwanfunu" Mahama and the snake-tongued Ablakwa to protect Ghana's tainted and battered reputation?

The fact is Ghana has no reputation whatsoever, yes, it is a failed state thriving in lawlessness, corruption, wanton looting and stealing, fraud and scamming schemes, nepotism, environmental degradation such as "galamsey", political pilfering and outright 'nkwaseasem."

When it comes it comes to international reputation, Ghana is not different from rogue states such as Sudan, South Sudan, Burundi, Chad, Yemen, Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.

Dr Bawumia pls aren't you embarrassed by revelations at the PAC on revelations of crime committed by the very people u and Akuffo Addo appointed to run affairs of this country? What record are u going to defend. I have lost respect for you. A muslim without intergrity.
The World Bank has pushed back against the erstwhile Akufo-Addo administration’s long-held narrative that Ghana’s 2022 economic collapse was the result of global turmoil, the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war.
Bawumia was the Chairman of the Ghana National Economic Management Committee but he says that he was the Drivers Mate. How can a driver's mate do this when he claims he never had the chance to implement anything in government because the powers that be did not allow him. Yet he wants to claim credit for any good things that he never did yet will refuse to accept responsibility for any failure in their government. How stupid does this man think we are? You took the cedi from 4 to 17 and still had the audacity to tell us the rate of depreciation at that time was better than the previous NDC administration. What at all does this man take us for? Does he think we're stupid or what? Someone should tell this man that we haven't forgotten about the DDEP haircuts and surely we shall punish the npp again come 2028.

It insisted that the economic meltdown was “homegrown”.

In its latest 2025 Policy Notes on Ghana, the Bank made clear that while the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine worsened the situation, they were not the root cause.

“The deterioration of global conditions… was not the cause of the 2022 macroeconomic crisis; rather, it merely exposed an economy already beset with deep structural vulnerabilities and precarious macroeconomic conditions,” the report said.

The government has frequently blamed external shocks for the collapse, which saw inflation spiral, the cedi plummet, and the country default on its debt.

But the World Bank said years of weak governance, fiscal indiscipline, and stalled reforms were the real culprits of Ghana's "dark days".

Interbank Market: Cedi trades at GH¢12.35 to $1

The bank also argued that the easy access to international credit and expectations of resource windfalls encouraged short-term political decisions at the expense of long-term stability.

The report noted that the cycle of expansionary spending followed by painful corrections, one that has forced Ghana into 17 IMF programs over the past 68 years, is damaging.

“Sudden macroeconomic stops and crises have led the country to request a record number of IMF programs, remaining under active IMF support for 40 out of its 68 years of history,” the Bank said.

The report also noted that more than 800,000 people were pushed into poverty in the aftermath of the 2022 crisis, with per capita incomes stuck at around US$2,200 for over a decade.

Today, more than a quarter of Ghanaians live below the poverty line, it noted.

Looking ahead, the Bank also raised alarms about Ghana’s fiscal management in the 2024 election year.

It flagged unbudgeted spending commitments of roughly US$4.8 billion, equivalent to 5.7% of GDP, much of it accumulated outside official financial systems.

“Spending indiscipline poses a critical challenge…undermining efforts to maintain fiscal discipline and compromising long-term sustainability,” the report cautioned.

Also, the energy sector arrears still cost around 2% of GDP annually, while COCOBOD’s debts reached US$1.8 billion in 2024, with interventions distorting markets and hurting farmers.

The bank warned that Ghana now stands at a critical crossroads, and temporary fixes will not be enough.

“There is an urgent need to signal a clear break from the past and a commitment to change… Success will ultimately be measured by the ability of the government to regain the trust of its citizens.”

Its recommendations are focused on restoring fiscal discipline, broadening the tax base, reforming state-owned enterprises, and enhancing governance.

Without decisive reforms, the World Bank cautions, Ghana risks remaining trapped in its cycle of crisis and bailouts for decades to come.

The narcotic member said, they can not mention those in the drug trade. I am sure that guy is not NPP member if not it will be in the news for political gains. If our only saviour for now president Mahama is not ready to bite hard on some of his appointees, then Ghana we have a long way to go. Those at our borders both land, air and sea must be reshuffle every 3 months. These will help stop or reduce this kind of criminal activities taken by this people.

The shipment must have the name of the person or company that shipped it.
Then without the arrest of the criminal who shipped the cocaine which was meant for Belgium, we are informed that the cocaine has been destroyed.

This is where the Customs Commissioner Aaron Kanor must focus on and not on air passengers with a few mobile phones in their luggage to be given to relatives and friends.

Where did the shipment passed only to be detected at destination that there's cocaine hidden in the container?

Who supervised the container and gave clearance for shipment? Is the person working with the Customs or just a harbour porter? Honestly, people must be called to answer questions, this is not good for the image of Ghana and the present administration.

What safety measures are working. Why are Ghanaians so stupid like that because of party colours? They getting caught outside ghana not inside ghana so how is it going out of ghana without not detected or caught out in ghana? Maybe NPP was doing good job for detecting it in ghana and not getting exposed frequently outside ghana. You think that's a good name for ghana to get? Wait until ghana get blacklisted and you know the impact you party colour agyimeafour. You just open your mouth and chat anyhow because u only know how to support a party. Sensible party supporters are those who criticise their party when things are not right. It's like having a child and saying nothing when going astray. Are you doing any good service to that child?

If this bust has happened under Npp government I don't think you'll be telling us all this nonsense. You'll have said the Akyem mafia was behind it. Shame on you and your deceitful Ndc government.
