When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwesi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwesi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwesi Pratt can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Pratt and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratt's recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Pratt has the guts to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

The NDC would have to explain to Ghanaians how a dead man came to author and sign a letter!

The opening paragraph states, “I came to serve; I have finished my time here on earth and have moved on to everlasting rest and celestial duties with my heavenly father.”

The immediate question is; how did the dead man come to sign his own personal tribute, since he is already in heaven?

The letter then goes on melodramatically, “As you leaf through these pages of my life’s story, I pray to God that it touches your heart in many positive ways. Weep not, I am not dead. I am alive and awake in the Lord. Ghana will not die; Ghana will live to declare the works of the Lord. As I rest in perfect peace in the celestial realms with my maker, I pledge to always uphold and defend the good name of Ghana. Remember the Lord in all your ways and He will protect you. Stay well my brothers and sisters, I will always be with you. Signed (with actual signature) John Evans Atta Mills...

You are an IDIOT to the highest order. Who appointed you a spokesperson? You may be speaking for the UNCONCERNED GHANAIAN CITIZENS of those countries. If you are really a concerned Citizen of Ghana, you will rather pray for the SUPREME COURT to AFFIRM the petitioners case. How can NDC move Ghana FORWARD?

No matter what the ndc and their agent provocateurs say the fact remains the country can never move forward if the majority are marginalized and excluded from truly being represented as is the the case today. after killing mills these criminals have used ideology , propaganda , election trickery and engineering leading up to rigging of the vote with the help of the heavily politicized national security . anyone who dares cry foul is persecuted by the police and lately the judiciary . we now have a govt lopsided in favor of minorities such as the ayigbe and muslim northerners , this act alone proves none of them ever believed in ghana talk less of equal opportunity for all citizens irrespective of their background. we have no choice but to recognize these facts and do what is necessary to stop the process of colonization by these misfits . the divisions among us are so great its now evident to all its only a matter when this will lead to conflict and war. they think because they control the judiciary , nation security and other institutions of oppression that they are safe but i will remind them that's what the communists in Romania , Saddam in Iraq , Gaddafi in Libya and even the British imperialists thought. the Lord is on our side and we shall soon have our freedom . the economy is going backwards , even their own people dont believe in prosperity so are hurriedly pillaging the coffers , corruption of such magnitude that they dont even bother investigating or trying to rectify these crimes in short a mess which is skydiving into a disastrous catastrophe just as Sodom and Gomorrah were until fire erased them . pepeni at the drop of a hat runs to the most ridiculous of meetings just so he may not be caught in the country when things explode . they persecute the npp but dont realise its a different kind of leader that is born in times of war and those leaders a waiting patiently for the clarion call , long live the republic of Akan . to all those who wish and pray for the de Akanization of Ghana i say may you all be burned alive

AUTHOR: MARTIN A.B.K. AMIDU....

It would appear that those in control of the NDC, for the time being, were bent on excluding other bona fide members of the Party who may wish to lay democratic claims to who becomes the next flag bearer of the Party by excluding them even before the mortal remains of the demised President were interred. It is also symptomatic of how political party elites in Ghana and Africa worm their way into the confidences of persons perceived as likely to ascend to power positions for purposes of eventual personal economic gain at the expense of the generality of the mass of Party members and the Nation which every President swears to serve under the Constitution...

CHINA, THE WORLD'S BREAD BASKET, IS DEVELOPING VERY FAST BECAUSE SERIOUS OFFICIAL CRIMES AND LEADERSHIP CORRUPTION ARE PUNISHABLE BY THE DEATH PENALTY, LIFETIME HARD LABOUR JAIL SENTENCES AND/OR ASSETS CONFISCATION.

EVEN ERIC AMOATENG'S PROPERTIES ARE STILL INTACT FOR HIS ENJOYMENT THE VERY MOMENT HE STEPS OUT OF JAIL IN AMERICA.

THAT'S GHANA FOR YOU!!

EVERYONE IS LOOTING!! SO WHO JAILS WHO IS THE PROBLEM AMONG GHANA'S THEIVING LEADERSHIP.

EVEN A CONSTITUTIONAL CLAUSE AND ENFORCEMENT OF ASSETS DECLARATION OF PUBLIC OFFICERS IN GHANA IS A HERCULEAN TASK TO THE LEGISLATIVE AND EXECUTIVE ARMS OF GHANA GOVERNMENT, SO GET THE DRIFT!!!

WHEN EVERY GHANA LEADER IS COMPLICIT IN OFFICIAL CORRUPTION, SETTING THE PRECEDENCE HAS BECOME A MIRAGE.

If we have a president who more than 50% of the populace believe he is very corrupt and fraudulent, he lacks integrity, he condones corruption by his attitude to corruption (Mahama has himself failed to honour a constitutional requirement to declare hi assets one year into office, he doesn't action numerous corruption cases involving people connected to him and his party - GYEEDA, SADA, WOYOME, etc).
Then there is no political will to fight corruption as the leader who is supposed to initiate policies and take action to deal with those involved in corrupt practices are just closely linked to the leader, hence the leader loses the moral authority and courage to act (see the committee report on GYEEDA, no action taken so far).
Corruption needs to be fight through enacting and implement stringent laws with respect to culprits irrespective of you position in society, enforcement of control and ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISMS AND SYSTEMS AT ALL PUBLIC SECTOR ORGANISATIONS, an monitored and enforced daily so that anyone caught is severely punished.
Anything less than that no amount of love, respect, selflessness, visionary thinking, etc, can by itself defeat corruption we need to back these attributes with real action.

Actually Ghanaians are in human. It is like saying that, EVIL IS NOT BAD. Where in the world can someone make such a statement if not in Ghana. That tells you the people are sick. We need Rawlings to come back. I am sure this very person is an Akan. Because they see Evil as something very good and part of their culture and custom. God for sake.

"Corruption shouldn't prevent us from developing - VODEC"--------Tell us how one can develop when public officials are stealing most of the country's money and assets. Corruption should actually be curbed first, and the protected money and assets the state saves, can be used for development. Education should be one of the priorities. When we take a look at modern development, e.g., the Asian region, their governments invested heavily in education twenty/thirty years ago, and now they are reaping the benefits. Go to American, European, Canadian, etc. universities, you will realise what I am talking about. They are filled with Indians, Chinese, etc. Knowledge is power but unfortunately, it is less important here in Ghana. Why should it be important, when we have our educated lawyers and politicians behaving like children? How can people see the essence of education. I think Ghanaians should angrily rise up against the system that allows top officials, private and public, treat the rest of as fools. Instead of following blindly, we should be asking ourselves, 'WHAT DO I GAIN BY SUPPORTING SO AND SO PERSON OR PARTY?'. We have a bumpy road to cross before we can make it. Unfortunately, there are no guarantees. We are not serious.
