'Funding allocation by Parliament for GYEEDA from sources such as DAs Common Fund without the requisite amendment of Act 455 amounts to a breach of article 252 of the 1992 Constitution and Act 455 establishing the DA Assemblies Common Fund. This is a dereliction of duty on the part of Parliament and the Administrator of the District Assemblies Common Fund.

'from 2009 to 2012, almost nine hundred and fifty million Ghana cedis (GHS950, 000,000.00) million had been expended on the NYEP. These funding sources lack legal backing as no amendments were made to the relevant laws to allow funds to be transferred to GYEEDA.'

Stop throwing dust into our eyes. Mahama's government is made up of thieves and hardened criminals attempting to and actually stealing money at every opportunity given them. We don't believe in any of these. All we know is, millions and millions of cedis have been stolen through this GYEEDA, SADA illicit stratergy that pave way for NDC to enrich themselves at the disadvantage of the Ghanaian people.

Manu, if you come to power and people see you to be delivering, you silence your critics. You should only be worried if you fear your party will also be as useless as the current one. However if they deliver, Ghanaians will see for themselves.

If they don't know what they are doing, don't give them excuses.

The NDC's propaganda journalists will always collaborate with their pay-maters to come out with ghost names and ghost figures. Keep deceiving yourselves - How much have you been successful in Ghana before going out there to deceive other countries. Keep deceiving foreigners - Ghanaians have not seen anything good yet from GYEEDA.

Very disgraceful and ill-timed. Get better pr team to do he bidding. The country will erupt into flames if nothing is done in favour or against these providers. One too many. Woyome, Waterville, gyeeda, lesdep, Zoomlion, rlg, sada, tree planting. Let those in authority be very careful with what they are doing in the country. It is just a matter of time... Let us look at what is happening in other countries as a guidance for looting from the poor.

PLEASE GO TO THE NORTH AND TELL THIS CRAP............NOT INTELLIGENT, SMART AND UNDEFEATED AKANS..............................READ THIS AND KNOW THAT YOU WILL VOMIT EVERY PESEWA/PENNY..........

Data from the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of Ghana has revealed that President John Dramani Mahama has added a whopping GH¢15.6 billion to Ghana’s total public debt stock since being sworn into office as caretaker and substantive President within the period from July 2012 to August 2013.

The Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of Ghana yesterday revealed that Ghana’s total public debt stock “increased to GH¢43.9 billion (49.5% of GDP) at end of August 2013, from GH¢35.1 billion in December 2012.”

“Of this, the domestic component amounted to GH¢24 billion compared to GH¢18.5 billion in December 2012. External debt stood at US$10.2 billion, up from US$8.8 billion in December 2012,” a report by the committee explained.

However, checks made by the New Statesman further revealed that President John Dramani Mahama is responsible for contracting one-third of Ghana’s total debt stock.

According to the MPC report of September 2012, “The total public debt at the end of July 2012 was GH¢28.3 billion, equivalent to 44.4 per cent of GDP.”

This implies that President John Mahama has contracted a total of GH¢15.6 billion of debt for Ghanaians since becoming the President of Ghana.

Many people have wondered what the impact of these huge loans has been on the lives of Ghanaians, considering the continued labour agitations that have taken place over the last year, the arrears owed to contractors, GETFund, NHIS and other statutory funds.

Ghana’s total debt stock of GH¢43.9 billion means that every Ghanaian, down to a newly born baby, owes a total of GH¢1,688.42.

The increase in the domestic debt component of the total debt stock from GH¢13.7 billion at the end of July 2012 to GH¢24 billion under the Presidency of John Mahama lends credence to the statements made by the economic team of the New Patriotic Party to the effect that the NDC government is competing with the private sector for funds.

Analysts explain that what this means is that government has been competing with and squeezing out private enterprise from borrowing from the banks. Thus, private enterprises cannot access capital to grow their business in order to employ the youth.

Yesterday’s MPC report further stated that total revenue and grants amounted to GH¢10.4 billion, lower than the target of GH¢12.5 billion, mainly as a result of shortfalls in domestic revenue collections and low disbursement of grants.

Of this outturn, domestic revenue totalled GH¢9.8 billion, below the target of GH¢11.6 billion. Total tax revenue amounted to GH¢7.7 billion, lower than the target of GH¢9.1 billion. Grant disbursements were GH¢542 million, falling short of its target by 41.7 percent. Non-tax revenues amounting to GH¢2.1 billion for the period also missed the target by 12.4 per cent.

Total expenditure including clearance of arrears and outstanding commitments amounted to GH¢16.0 billion, lower than the budget target of GH¢17.5 billion.

“The above developments resulted in a fiscal deficit (cash basis) equivalent to 6.3 percent of GDP against a target of 5.6 percent. The deficit was financed mainly from domestic sources, resulting in a Net Domestic Financing (NDF) of GH¢4.4 billion, higher than the budget target of GH¢3.6 billion. Foreign financing of the budget amounted to GH¢1.3 billion, marginally lower than the GH¢1.5 billion target. Financing from Bank of Ghana amounted to GH¢1.0 billion, equivalent to 4.9 percent of projected revenue,” the MPC added.

This nonsense must stop. Why not call GYEEDA ASONTABA-rig-Mahama - Kwesi Pratt enterprise. When will Ghanaians wake up and call this so called government devilish, a curse. Are we so stupid and mentally deranged ?

Mr Arthur are you such a wasteful person that you want to write such rubbish to cloud Ghanaians' eyes? Do you really think Ghanaians are fools?

You have written a fabricated story OK. Did you even bother to check the contents of your article, apparently containing circumlocution of whatever you wanted educated Ghanaians to know. The fact that an appointed Commission had sat for months and brought out very sordid and shameful FACTS out and you turned around to blacklist their work is a complete disgraced to you personally Emmanuel Arthur.

Somehow, I will not be surprised if you and your family were one of the many beneficiaries of the huge sum of taxpayers' monies gone missing.

Thank you for your deceitful article.
