Why is the Engineers and Planners(E&P) company jet in trust at the Utah Bank in USA? That should be a question that needs to be pursued to find out the reason behind this arrangement. We know now that the Plane belongs to Engineers and Planners(E&P)
“Engineers and planners had issued a statement in which they clarified the issues. They state without fear of equivocation that the President has never travelled on the Engineers and Planners jet. Secondly Government has not sent any delegation that has travelled in that jet to Iran and I believe that should end the matter.”
Oh not so fast, Ofosu Kwakye. Can the Deputy Minister of "Misinformation" tell us why this plane seems to be everywhere the Presidents travels to? This plane was seen in Iran, Davos, Switzerland, London, England and other places where the President of Ghana was at the same time.
In order for the Mahama family to pursue its frivol lifestyle, this plane was bought by Mahama family to do what it is doing now, to transport government officials and businessmen who will accompany the President and other government officials and charge them exorbitant fares for the flights which is putting more money in the pockets of the Mahama family. I hope Ibrahim Mahama is not cuittling his brother to give him this transportation contract for some underhand deals they have done earlier. It seems like Ibrahim Mahama holds a passé-partout that enables him to walk through the vaults holding Ghanaian assets and these free educated Mahama brothers banking on the alphabetic Ghanaian populace seems to be getting away with 'murder'.
In USA, usually the President and government Officials put their business interest in trusts to avoid conflict of interest like this whereby the President's brother is reaping financial benefits from his proximity to power. This is why Ibrahim Mahama is trying to hide his interest in this plane. You put your plane in trust and it is the only plane transporting government officials and businessmen who accompany the President in his foreign travels, very strange if not bribery and corruption. Mahama is not a government official so why is he doing business with the government with asset in trust if he is not trying to hide something? This is because Ghanaian taxpayers are being fleeced by high transportation charges.
Ghanaian citizens are calling on government to clarify the obvious contradiction between an official statement issued by the Iranian government Friday that the plane carried Ghana government officials to Tehran for official meetings with the government of Iran and a statement subsequently issued by the company of President Mahama’s brother that the plane only carried a group of business people from Ghana.According to the New York Times, Iran’s Foreign Ministry, bombarded with questions over why an American plane was parked at the airport, said on Friday that the plane had been used to transport top Ghanaian officials as part of a broader push to expand cooperation between the two countries.
I don't know how long Ghanaians will be able to tolerate this scandal embroiled administration averaging one scandal per week on average.
As Michael Jackson said, "Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons." No matter how long President Mahama stays in power, the truth about all the scandals going on in his administration will come out one day and he and his family will be made to account for them.

Once again Ghana has budgeted a whopping twenty million dollars($20m) to send the Blackstars to Brazil to cement the image of Ghana as a soccer power though other African countries participating in this Mundial like Nigeria, 12 million and Algeria, $5.8M. One might ask why Ghana, a poor country without even one urology center in the whole country is spending that much money.
Folks believe me, we are going to send Party supporters as we did in 2010 in South Africa who disgraced the country by whoring and raping. Now read some of the snippets of what happened in South Africa by NDC foot soldiers under the guise of soccer fans.

Comment to:COCOBOD vows to protect the integrity of Ghana's c
Feature Article of Monday, 28 June 2010
Columnist: Sarpong, Justice
NDC Sent Rapists And wHOres As Supporters To South Africa.
The zephyr being enjoyed by some fans of soccer around the globe in South Africa became a nightmarish experience for some women who have the unfortunate luck to share the same hotel with some NDC "Fool soldiers" masquerading as Ghanaian soccer fans. The behaviour of these NDC rapists and sexual deviates enraged our Vice President he has this to say when he came home with 500 of these supporters. Let me make it clear that, most of these supporters are true Ghanaian soccer fans and patriots who wanted to cheer our Blackstars who are holding the beacon of Africa high in South Africa but the few NDC rapists among them have disgraced the image of our country.
"Accra, June 25, GNA - Vice President John Dramani Mahama, has called on Ghanaians to comport themselves wherever they find themselves in order to reflect the good image of their Mother Land. The Vice President who was speaking to journalists at the Kotoka International Airport, upon his return from South Africa, expressed his displeasure at the conduct of some Ghanaian soccer fans at the FIFA World Cup Tournament. He said it was not right for the fans to abuse the trust that the government had repose in them."
I was enthralled and happy the Vice-President did not sweep the bad behaviour of some of these Ghanaian supporters behaviour under the carpet as our Sports Minister, Akua Densua was trying to do.What criteria did they use in selecting these so called supporters? Did they check their criminal histories? Though the Vice-President did not go into details about the bad conduct he was talking about but two of the most heinous crimes attributed to these Ghanaian supporters would make any decent Ghanaian puke.
Ghanaian supporters at a hotel in Rustenburg, South Africa were alleged to have gang raped a Canadian woman staying at the same hotel with your NDC fool soldiers trying to satisfy their curiosity of sleeping with a white woman. When this came to the Ghanaian journalists covering the soccer tournament and before they could report it, our Sports Minister, Akua Densua, the same woman who said woman staying in school for too long deprives them of life partners, tried to browbeat our journalist into submission from bringing this to the attention of the Ghanaian reading public. Below is her admonishment to the Journalists.
"Stop Negative Reportage About Fans And Black Stars – Sports Minister Warns "
Date: 23-Jun-2010
Minister of Sports, Hon. Akua Sena Dansua, says she is repulsed by the numerous negative information about the Ghanaian contingent in South Africa and has cautioned the media to be circumspect in their reportage and refrain from further publishing or broadcasting of disparaging and unsubstantiated reports about the Black Stars and their general activities at the on-going 2010 World Cup tournament."I don’t know why at this time Ghanaians should be so negative about themselves, while other nationals are even supporting the Blacks Stars to victory we are here wasting time,” she angrily said. She described "those who decided just to travel and write negative things about the team to see themselves as shameful." “I don’t know what being a Ghanaian means to them," she added. The Sports Minister was responding to questions about reports that a Canadian woman had been attacked and "gang-raped" by some Ghanaians at her hotel in Rustenberg, while taking her bath which happens to be where the Ghanaian supporters are lodging. Reports say the Canadian woman was allegedly fondled by the group of men. Though their identities have as yet not been revealed, they are suspected to be Ghanaians since most fans at the hotel are from Ghana."
Why is raping and whoring occuring at where Ghanaian supporters are lodging? A Ghanaian woman also was reported to have been 'raped' by five men at their Muzinda student hostel . I don't know whether this one though can be called RAPE since the woman, though drunk had accepted money in exchange for sex from these men. DID WE SEND RAPISTS AND WHORES TO SOUTH AFRICA to reduce the unemployment figures in Ghana? The bad behaviour of these fans were compounded by the stupid arrangements the NDC officials who used this opportunity to baksheesh their "Fool(foot) soldiers" to South Africa made. Some of these supporters are alleged to have left their hotels and hostels and can't be found. Now they are going to become illegal aliens trying to make a living in South Africa after our tax money were spent of these criminals.
The last five hundred supporters who were sent to South Africa, almost all of them NDC fool soldiers went there without tickets to enter any stadium and ended up demonstrating and blocking some streets leading to the stadium during the Ghana Germany match and South Africa Police had to disperse their demonstration before some paid supporters could enter the stadium.
This Don Quixotic windmill chasing experience by Ghanaians ought to be investigated since it was alleged that, most of the tickets supposed to go these fans ended up in the hands of NDC officials girlfriends. Ghana wasted more than 4.5 million dollars on this foolishness when our school children are schooling under trees. These officials should be arrested for causing financial loss to the state.

President Mahama, did President Mills set up an investigative committee to investigate you for inflating prices on the contracts you signed in the name of Ghana? YES or NO?
I will come back to that issue later on but now Ghanaians want to know if you also inflated the cost of educating Ghanaian Doctors in Cuba.
Why did Mahama tell Ghanaians that it will cost Ghana $30,000 for the duration of six years to educate one Ghanaian Doctor in Cuba when he has already billed Ghana for $150,000 per student for the 250 Northern students he sent to Cuba? Even the Cuba government has listed on its website that these students are on Cuba government scholarship, so who is going to pocket the extra 120,000 dollars per student if we have to believe Mahama? Why do we have to pay 37.5 million dollars to educate 250 students when this money if used in Ghana can educate 1500 Doctors Legon and more than 30000 Doctors at KNUST? Can President Mahama address this issue instead of hiding behind lies and innuendos?
On the same website, Kenya also sent almost the same number of medical students to be educated in Cuba at $30,000 per students for six years so why is the President billing Ghana for $150,000 per student for six years?
Was it not even corruption when the President Mahama, then Vice President selected all these students from the three Northern regions with few Ewes from his office? When did the Office of the Vice President become Scholarship Secretariat?
President Mahama has been weaving and boobing like a scared Price Fighter who has been put in a ring against an opponent he would rather not have anything to do with? Does this amoral President who has children out of wedlock all over the place grab the bull by the horn and address a legitimate question about his penchant for signing outrageous contracts with flags flapping around them like a windy city flag in Chicago in December?
President Mahama is trying to play a delay tactics hoping that time will run out and hopefully win the election without addressing the corruption issue. Ghanaians should hold his feet to the fire and demand answers from him about contracts that have led Ghana to lose money on almost every contract he has penned his name to.Why is President Mahama always lying? What is he trying to hide? A prominent Chief I know advised me when I was about ten years in Kumasi about LIARS. He said, "Kwame, you are a good boy and I want you to be like this for the rest of your life and take this advice from me.He had sent me to go and pick up a rent money from one of his tenents at one of his rental properties for him.I forgot in the course of playing with my friends and about an hour later, he asked me whether I have picked up the money from Mr Somuah. I told him with fear that, "NANA, I FORGOT, I AM SORRY". He said, Kwame, it is alright, at least you told the truth. You could have said you went there and Mr Somuah was not there. Always tell the truth because Truth can take you far.Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons. The problem with a Liar is not the lie itself but what the lie is being used to hide.A Liar is a murderer, thief or rapist, he told me" I have grown to find out that he was right.
During the IEA debate in Accra, this man said that the constitution guarantees every President two terms. Mr Mahama, the constitution does not guarantee anybody two terms.
Secondly, even if the constitution guarantees every President two terms, you are not fighting for a second term, you are rather fighting for your first term because at the moment, you are like a spare tire that is good for a short time and changed when we reach where we are going and we will reach that destination on December 7th, 2012. We cannot take chances to use a spare tire for four years, we are not suicidal.As a spare tire President, you have given us a some anxious moments to wonder if we can rely on you to take us as a country to where we want to be in four years.
On the blindside of President Mills(No pun intended), then Vice President Mills cut a deal with a Brazil company to buy plane for the country and inflated the prices for his own benefit. It used to be extra 10% on contracts for government officials to pocket, in Mills/Mahama administration, it is DOUBLE DOUBLE now. If you sign a contract on behalf of Ghana for 20 million, you put it in the books for 40 million. Inflating contract prices has become rational in Mills/Mahama four years administration a six classroom block that used to cost Ghc80,000 in 2008 has gone up to Ghc420,000, more than 500% increase but we have been told inflation has been in single digits for more than a year, that is Mahama's voodoo economy.
Vice President Mahama as the chairman of the Armed Forces Council signed a contract with Embraer, a Brazil Plane Manufacturer for the acquisition of five jets, including the most expensive hangar for this poor nation, when President Mills was in and out of consciousness hooked to the oxygen tank. At the blindside of President Mills, then Vice President Mahama led an NDC Government delegation to negotiate the purchase of aircrafts for the Ghana Armed Forces. The invoice he brought was “gargantually” inflated so much so that late President Mills, who was not known for questioning such corrupt deals by members of his party became convinced that his Vice President was up to mischief. He therefore set up a Three Member Committee to investigate this hypocrisy and betrayal of people’s trust. A Presidential plane purchased for 80 million dollars which has been listed in the company manual for 40 million dollars was fitted with a one million staircase, 8 million dollars extra fuel tank and a 17 millionn hangar(garage) that the same NDC government has spoken against when in opposition when the price was 8 million dollars. Now they find 17 million dollars as not outrageous when they have howled against it at 8 million dollars.
According to former Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Martin Amidu,the late President Mills, apparently shocked and suspicious of then Vice President Mahama's negotiations, set up a Committee, comprising Hon William Aboah, Mr. George Amoah and Brig. Gen. Allotey (Rtd.), to investigate the Processes of the Acquisition of Five Aircraft, including Embraer 190 aircraft and hangar to the Ghana Army.According to Martin Amidu, "pressure groups never allowed the Committee to take off. But the very fact that the late President Mills contemplated this Committee meant that he was uncomfortable with and suspicious of the alleged inflated prices of the aircraft." Well- meaning Ghanaians believe this is a huge indictment on John Mahama who has refused to address this issue. Why is President Mahama and his veloce communication team of more than thirty people refusing to address this important issue. This is a President with a team of young sharp teeths who responds to any accusation against him so why are they mum about this accusation by Mr Martin Amidu? Is it a case where there are evidence to indict Mahama so his team are willing to allow this accusation to blow over?
Can President Mahama come clean on the Wa Regional hospital fiasco? Why did he tell Ghanaians that the Wa Regional hospital will be completed in December of this year when he knew not one brick has been made for this project? Why can't he tell Ghanaians that he has given $18 million to an Egyptian 419 Apostle who has absconded with the money and Ghana is searching for another loan to carry this project to fruition? How much of the 18 million has found its way back to Mahama? As Ghanaians, are we aware of how careless Mahama has handled our money? He signed a 10 billion dollar loan with STX of Korea to build 200,000 houses and not one house was built but Ghana has lost more than $300 million on this project because of corruption by Mahama.
Speaking on the issue of corruption at the IEA’s final Presidential debate on Wednesday, the President noted that government alone was not going to be able to fight corruption as it will require a collective effort.
“Corruption in Ghana is anecdotal; government alone cannot fight corruption. It takes all our people to fight it. We must not just rumour corruption. We must be prepared to stand against corruption and I think that that is one area in which we are lacking,” he opined.
RUMOR CORRUPTION? What planet is Mahama living on? Is he saying there is no corruption in his administration when jobless riff-raffs who were living in one bedroom with their mothers have built mansions and gas stations in just four years as Deputy Ministers and members of the administration Communication team?President Mahama, don't say "that is one area in which we are lacking,” We are lacking in this area because we have a President with an albatross of corruption rope around his neck who is failing to lead. There is lack of leadership on the corruption issue because the President is knee deep in corruption mud and trying to push the blame somewhere.
President Mahama even defended Woyome's fraudulent payment because he is a beneficiary of the the the $30 million dollars paid to Woyome for no work done. During the IEA debate on Wednesday November 21, President Mahama said this in rebuttal to Nana Akuffo Addo's accusation.
' according to President Mahama, the payment of GH¢858 million in judgment debts by his government were all caused by the NPP government and as such the reference to the payment of dubious judgment debts by the Nana Akufo-Addo was a sign of desperation."
This statement by President Mahama, was exposed by the NPP flagbearer who reminded the President that Mr Woyome, for example, has been hauled to court by the Attorney General, a functionary of the NDC government for “procuring the 51.8 million judgment debt payment through fraudulent and illegal means and also causing financial loss to the state.”
Why is Mahama government prosecuting Woyome if his administration believes that Woyome is entitled to that gargantuan money or the said prosecution is a facade? Ghanaians should not make a mistake and vote for this mystery man who cannot even tell how many children he has fathered. Why is it that we have not seen Mahama's family portrait? Too many children to fit into one portrait? Your guess is as good as mine.
