The Ghanaians have their own idea of what is sin and corruption. They go to church and talk the "church talk" but it doesn't mean a thing.

Agwunbutoge Awuni,what do you get paid for from our taxes ?

As Director of the Motor Transport and Traffic Unit (MTTU), what have you personally done to weed corruption out of your unit ?

You will be doing the Ghanaian taxpayer a lot of good if you resign from the service instead of calling for urgent steps to curtail corruption in the Police service, when you are in a position to do so.

Decades ago, there was a single policeman who was not even high in rank as you are, and he did his best to fight corruption in the Motor Transport and Traffic Unit (MTTU)of the Ghana Police service and created a good image for the police.

Drivers and transport owners gave him the name "Aban", because he never accepted bribes and always told defaulting and givers of bribes to rather go give it to the state.

That was before the obese lunatic butcher of Dzelukope,His Butchery Majesty Julor Jato Rawlings alias Gyamfi Paul aka Togbui Avaklasu I the arsonist, and his band of armed robbers took up arms and seized the vaults of the Bank of Ghana.

Jato, you have made some interesting observations but the whole police force is like a mafia so I think it's going to be a little difficult to achieve that zero tolerance for corruption that we all want. However since we all on a daily do see corrupt police traffic officers on the take, we expect anyone who is seriously trying to investigate and arrest the problem to be prosecuting more of those people. The question is,will he last long in the force if he tries? Will his superiors allow it? The mafia is not such an easy organisation to deal it. You could end up sleeping with the fish.

BEING IN THE FIRST POSITION FOR THREE CONSECUTIVE YEARS IN A ROW AS THE MOST CORRUPT INSTITUTION IN GHANA IS NOT AN ENVIABLE ACHIEVEMENT.
IF THE INSTITUTION,MANDATED TO ENFORCE THE LAW ARE THE MOST CORRUPT ON OUR MOTHERLAND;THEN WE ARE DOOMED.
IF THE POLITICIANS;WHO COMPRISES OF THE LEGISLATORS AND THE EXECUTIVE ARE THE SECOND MOST CORRUPT,THEN WE ARE CURSED.
IF THE JUDICIARY,WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO INTERPRET THE LAW ARE ALSO CORRUPT,THEN WE ARE CONDEMNED EVEN BEFORE APPEARANCE.
HOW CAN THE SUPREME COURT BE CHANTING "PEACE" WHICH IS THE PREROGATIVE OF THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES?
SUPREME COURT MUST SEEK FOR JUSTICE AND THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES WOULD MAKE SURE PEACE PREVAILS.
GHANAIANS ARE VERY PEACEFUL BY NATURE BUT THEY CAN BE VERY DEFIANT WHEN THE NEED ARISE.THE SC MUST THEREFORE NOT PLAY "PLAY JUDICIAL CHESS" WITH THE PEOPLE OF GHANA.
THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING,ATUGUBA.STOP THIS INTIMIDATION;FOR THERE WOULD BE NO
PEACE NOR FREEDOM WITHOUT JUSTICE.
HOW CAN ONE BE THE ACCUSED,PROSECUTOR AND JUDGE AT THE SAME TIME.THIS DOES NOT AUGUR WELL FOR THE PEACE YOU ARE PREACHING.IF I WERE YOU I WOULD RATHER BE PREACHING JUSTICE AND PRACTISE IT INSTEAD OF PREACHING JUST PEACE HENCEFORTH.

In addition to the politicians and police officers, for the most part you cannot trust the Ghanaian living in Ghana. 98% of Ghanaians in Ghana cannot be trusted, they have no integrity whatsoever, outright liars, thieves and con-arts. The people we used to look up to as moral leaders and role models, such pastors and traditional leaders are worst than police officers and politicians. Strangely enough they all call themselves God-fearing and religious. Religious indeed.

I think the leader or president is more important than the party. If he is strong enough, he will surround himself with the right people. Nkrumah was able to do that with the cpp. but do you think the current cpp can do what Nkrumah did? Coming back to your earlier point,whilst the current ndc group does not appear to have individuals who can lead the country, Akuffo appears to have his hands clean and he probably would not tolerate his own party members doing the wrong things.maybe UNIGOV will be a good solution.

Yes corruption is everywhere in our society. It is in our bones and there should be measures put in place to start the fight to weed out corruption in our society starting from now but Alhaji Jonh Mahama's NDC government is the stumbling block. The NDC foot soldiers like Kojo T block all attempts saying that all past governments were corrupt so we should allow John Mahama and his loot and share crooks to finish the country, and this the exact thing NDC is doing. The question is, " did not tell Ghanaians that all the past governments were corrupt so NDC ahould BE GIVEN THE CHANCE TO BUILD A BETTER GHANA"? not knowing they are going to build the WORST GHANA.

Acheampong and the rest were killed because of corruption but Rawlings has made corruption legal to all Ghanaians by use of force, intimidation and violence. Therefore not until Rawlings is brought to face justices for his unnecessary coup and the killings that took place during his 19yrs in office, no one can be seriously prosecuted for corrupt practices.

This is an honest assessment of the corruption situation in the country. That is why the Ghanaian masses have identified the political class as thieves and they are justified in doing so. There are numerous examples of their behavior to buttress this identification. I do not need to go into details.

It is the political class that should subject themselves to the rule of law, stop interfering with its interpretation by the judiciary and its enforcement by the security agencies.

By political class, I mean those composing the executive and the legislature.

ACP, you are right. Corruption is high because the government of the day is refusing intentionally to implement control and accountability systems to address the problem.
Corruption has increased with Mahama's lukewarm attitude to address the problem because he will be implicated himself when he does that.
Without ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEMS Like a dedicated body to investigate and punish perpetrators like managers, police, those who give bribes, those who take bribes, etc, as well as mechanisms to report fraudulent practices with the strong political wil to act (like the GYEED, SADA, TOO, MetroMass Buss, cases etc.,) corruption will continue. Who should be responsible for implementing these policies, government and who is leading government, Mahama and why is he not doing it, because he is benefiting from it through money lauNdering through his created vehicles - RLG, GYEEDA, SADA, etc.

How can we expect things to change? Friends and Party members cannot be bold enough to "call" a corrupt individual to accountability. We see people defending and spinning what is clearly a crime against the nation for their own selfish interest. This nation is heading to "HELL" and the DRIVERS must know that they will be called to ACCOUNTABILITY one day.

Top 5 Tips for Becoming a Successful Entrepreneur

The following are some tips for becoming a successful entrepreneur based on my experience of building a company from the ground up, leading New York City as mayor, and founding a philanthropic organization.
1. Take risks.
Life is too short to spend your time avoiding failure.
In 1981, at the age of 39, I was fired from the only full-time job I'd ever had - a job I loved.
But I never let myself look back, and the very next day I took a big risk and began my own company based on an unproven idea that nearly everyone thought would fail: making financial information available to people, right on their desktops. Remember, this was before people had desktops.
In 2001, when I was debating whether to run for mayor, most people advised me against it. They all were afraid I’d fail. But one person said: “If you can picture yourself giving a concession speech, then why not go for it?” That was the best advice I received – and I followed it.
In order to succeed, you must first be willing to fail – and you must have the courage to go for it anyway.
2. Make your own luck.
Luck plays a part in success, but the harder you work, the luckier you get.
Whatever you choose to do, even if it’s not the job of your dreams, always work hard at it. Be the first person at work in the morning and the last to leave at night. Hard work creates opportunities where your resume cannot.
3. Be persistent.
Persistence really does pay off.
When starting my company, I would go downtown and buy cups of coffee. Then I’d take the coffee up to Merrill Lynch – our target audience – and walk the hallways.
“Hi,” I would say. “I’m Mike Bloomberg and I brought you a cup of coffee. Can I talk to you?”
Even if people were wondering who I was or where I came from, they still took the coffee.
And I kept coming back, day after day, working to build relationships with potential customers. I learned about the audience for our product and what they could really use.
Three years after starting Bloomberg LP, Merrill Lynch purchased 20 terminals and became our first customer.
4. Never stop learning.
The most powerful word in the English language is “Why.” There is nothing so powerful as an open, inquiring mind. Whatever field you choose for starting a business – be a lifelong student.
The world is full of people who have stopped learning and who think they’ve got it all figured out. You’ve no doubt met some of them already – and you’ll meet plenty more.
Their favorite word is “No.” They will give you a million reasons why something can’t be done or shouldn’t be done.
Don’t listen to them, don’t be deterred by them, and don’t become one of them. Not if you want to fulfill your potential – and not if you want to change the world for the better.
5. Give back.
You are ultimately responsible for your success and failure, but you only succeed if you share the reward with others.
At the end of the day, ask yourself: “Am I making a difference in the lives of others?”
My first charitable donation was a $5 check to my alma mater, Johns Hopkins, not long after I graduated. I was just scraping by back then, but I continued to give. And while the checks may be bigger today, they come with the same spirit. You don’t have to be wealthy to give back. You can give back by getting involved and giving your time and talents. You just have to be committed to opening doors for others.

PRISON LABOR FOR REVENUE
ROSE ATINGA BIO FOR IGP GHANA!
GOOGLE "BILLIONS BEHIND BARS"
1. PAY PRISONERS A SMALL WAGE TO WORK
2. TRAIN THEM SO WHEN THEY COME OUT THEY BECOME PRODCUTIVE CITIZENS
3. PRISONERS COULD SERVE AS CHEAP LABOR FOR MANY INDUSTRIES.
THEY COULD BE INVOLVED IN EVERYTHING FROM CAR PLATES, TO FURNITURE, CHALE WATE MAKING,
FISH FARMING, FLOWERS, MINNING, CHEAP LABORERS FOR ROAD CONSTRUCTION, ETC...ANYTHING THAT CAN FETCH REVENUE FOR THE REGION N PRISONS.
THE CASH ACCUMULATED FROM THESE DEALS CAN BE UISED FOR SO MANY THINGS
4.PERHAPS, WE NEED PRIVATE PRISONS IN GH. TO MANY PPL RUNNING AROUND MISBEHAVING IN GH.
5.PRISONS CAN SERVE AS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOR MANY TOWNS IN GH
6.PRISON LABOR WILL BE GOOD FOR BUSINESSES. YOU PAY THE INMATES LESS THAN YOU WOULD PAY REGULAR CITIZENS
7.IF YOU CANT FIND PRISONERS FR A PRISON, TRANSPORT THEM FROM ELSEHWERE. I DONT CAE IF YOU BRING THEM IN FROM OTHER NATIONS.
8.PUBLIC SECTOR CORRUPTERS, DOMESTIC ABUSERS, THIEVES, PPL WHO DRIVE DRUNK, ETC ARE ALL CULPRITS.
9.KEEP THOSE WHO DONT DESERVE TO BE LOCKED UP OUT OF JAIL.
10. PRISONS COST MONEY. FIND WAYS TO MAKE THEM PROFITABLE.
REGIONAL GOVTS MUST USE THESE PRISONERS AS CHEAP LABOR TO DEVELOP THEIR REGION. U HAVE ROADS, HIGHWAYS, MALLS, REGIONAL CONVENTION CTRS, RAILINES, FARMING, FACTORIES, HOSPITALS, STADIUM, CLOSING OPEN GUTTTERS/DRAINAGE ETC...
CRIME AND PUNISHMENT: POLICE
BUILD MORE JAILS. BUILD MORE REGIONAL JAILS.
THE LOCAL POLICEMEN/WOMEN SHOULD BE TASKED AND GIVEN QUOTAS TO MEET. THE MORE ARRESTS, VEHICLE IMPOUNDS, TICKETS U ISSUE, THE MORE MONEY, VACATION TIME THE OFFICER MAKES.
THIS IS WAT HAPPENS IN N AMERICA. WE R IN THIS TO MAKE MONEY. THIS WILL PUT AN END TO THE PETTY BRIBES OFFICERS COLLECT.
I WANT EACH REGIONAL MINISTER, CITY MAYOR AND REGIONAL POLICE CHIEF, IGP TO WATCH
THIS MOVIE...:FORT APACHE.THE BRONX STARRING PAUL NEWMAN.
WE NEED CHEAP HUMAN LABOR TO DEVELOP OUR TOWNS AND CITIES. ROAD CONSTRUCTION, ETC...
“The most effective thing recommended by the United Nations is that confiscating the property of drug dealers is the most effective way of clipping their wings
THE GH GOVT MUST CONTACT RAMON ANG, PRESIDENT OF SAN MIGUEL CORP IN THE PHILLIPINES. WE ARE SLEEPING IN GH, JOKER$!
HE CAN ADVICE AND HELP GH WITH AIRPORT INFRASTRUCTURE, OIL EXPLORATION, ROAD, RAIL PROJECTS. VERY INTELLIGENT MAN
Maxwell Kofi Jumah who claims to have "concrete evidence" to support his allegation says, President Mahama is the architect behind the huge monies given to RLG and Zoomlion, both service providers to the Ghana Youth Employment and Entrepreneurial Agency (GYEEDA).
FOLKS, HOW CAN Salaries Of Ghanaian MPs BE THE 3rd Highest In The World? HIPC, 3RD WORLD NATION GHANA?...NO WAY!
REDUCE THE SALARIES OF THESE USELESS , OVERINFLATED EGOS N USE THE CASH TO PROVIDE NATL. SECIURITY, DEVELOP OUR RAILWAYS, HIGHWAYS, WOMEN HOSPITALS,
REGIONAL UNIV N POLY, INTL AIRPORT IN KUMASI, REGIONAL STADIUMS, POLICE FORCE, SECURITY AGENCIES.
OH GH. TOO MUCH STRIFE, HUNGER. PPL ARE DISILLUSIONED. THEY DONT EVEN USE THEIR THINKING CAPS ANYMORE. THEY ACT AND BEHAVE LIKE ZOMBIES. ALL BECAUSE OF OUR LEADERS R LAZY, LACK MGMNGT N REFUSE TO THINK.
CORRUPTION N GREED FROM OUR SO CALLED POT BELLIED LEADERS IS THE ORDER OF THE DAY.

I flew out of Kotoka Airport twice in the last 4 weeks. I am surprised to see and hear the men who are supposed to be checking our hand luggage at the airport asking for "ice water", just as the policemen near Akuse junction on the Accra-Kpong highway. This is a disgrace to mother Ghana. The institution or company responsible for security our airport should fish out these corrupt boys and sack them.

AFARI GYAN'S HAND IN COOKIE JAR
HW3, AFARI DJAN MUST BE JAILED. WAT A DISGRACEFUL HUMAN BEING...ONYAME EHU WOOOOOOOOO!
YET, HE Is STILL LYING. YOUR WIFE HAS CAUGHT U RED HANDED FUCKING ANOTHER WOMAN. YET, U FOLLOW HER IN UR NATIVE SUIT.
TELLING HER, I WAS JUST FUCKING HERE, BUT ITS YOU I LOVE....EEEEIIIII
35 MILLION CEDI NTORO WEI DI3. I NO GO FIT OOOO. PEEP IN GOLD WATCH.
MAHAMA BRIBED AFARI DJAN WITH 35 MILLION CEDIS TO RIG THE ELECTIONS. GO AND ASK JJ RAWLINGS, HE WILL TELL YOU THE TRUTH.
FOLKS, EACH PINK SHEET HAS A UNIQUE NUMBER. THIS NUMBER IS WHAT WE CALL THE SERIAL NUMBER. EACH SERIAL NUMBER IS ASSIGNED TO ONE PINK SHEET.
So if for example pooling station 'A' collects a pink sheet, that number on the pink sheet is solely for that pink sheet ALONE and no other pink sheet must have that same number.
THEREFORE, WHY THEN DO WE HAVE DUPLICATE SERIAL NUMBERS ON MULTIPLE PINK SHEETS? NA WHO CAUSE AM?
AFARI DWAN CAUSE AM, AND HE MUST BE TRIED FOR TREASON. THIS IS GARGANTUAN DAYLIGHT TREASON TO THE NATION STATE GH.
So, it does not matter what name you call it, serial NUMBER or no serial # every single pink sheet must have a distinct number that must be different from all the numbers on all other pink sheets.
As long as the petitioners found that there were duplicate numbers on the pink sheets, that is HIGHLY illegal.
IF YOU FIND THE SAME SERIAL NUMBER ON MULTIPLE CEDI NOTES. WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU? COUNTERFEIT BILLS!
If you find any 2 currencies of a particular denomination with the same number on it, then one is counterfeit. That is what the EC did.
They printed two sets and released them into the system. ONE SET WAS FOR ALL, THE OTHER SET WERE ONLY MARKED FOR NDC.....MUAHAHAHAAAAA
GREAT CID JOB BY THE PETITIONERS. AFARI DJAN, U ARE A DISGRACE. YOUR ILK SHOULD BE EXILED FROM GH FOREVER. NATION WRECKER!
What EC did is a day time robbery!

Corruption can be every where, but the police should not be one of the 'wheres'. Day light armed and protected corruption is what people mean when the police are said to be corrupt.We need a system of purging out intimidatinly corrupt policemen before they gradually climp to the level of top officers who pretent to be SAINTS and mount platforms to bore us.
