Even if President Kuffour said that
corruption was as old as Adam does not mean he Kuffour was corrupt and can condone to it, but fellow Ghanaian
People, let's ask ourselves the reason
why NPP were escorted out from power if infact NDC as usual did not rob Nana Akuffo Addo when President Kuffour finished his term of office and Nana was genuinely defeated.

Before a particular Government can be escorted out from power through democratic means there are some certain activities which were not goin on well with that particular administration,therefore any successive Government should distance
herself from such diabolical activities which led that particular
Government to be escorted out, but not
to cement such activities or put more vim to it and plant more to it.

Therefore, I can sound it solemnly in the ears of every politician especially NDC bunch of criminals that
they should not be happy, President
Kuffour even said that and use such a
speech as an austerity measures to
increase and cement corruption in our
country as it has today made our
country such a hopeless State under this particular NDC foolish and pupet administration.

If it is so, then there shouldn't have been any legitimate and tangible point or reasons to escorted
NPP Government out of power, because
to compare NPP administration to this
Present and the past NDC administration, it will be very foolish for any sensible, civilized,
honest and credible person who is of
a sound mind to drop even a single ballot paper into the box of NDC ballot box home elections comes.

No reasonable person whould like to see a Coup D'etat but as things are going, any body with a toy gun ready to stage a Coup D'etat would be clearly supported, and I wish every NDC soc-alled politicians be tied against a sand bag at the Teshie Range
and send them to go and meet their
creator, as the scriptures asserted
"THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH".

You don't expect a thief to arrest a thief do you? So Kuffuor a known thief is still the Thief.

It only takes someone with integrity or with such known respect to curtail the level of corruption. You cannot expect Kuffuor who in day one built a house for himself to deal with corruption.

The worse of it all is when Kronfuor Kuffuor sold data and everything on our oil only for 10%, stole 3% of it and as if it wasn't enough, went further to sell Telecom and everything including the fibre optics to vodafone for chicken and chips dinner with the Queen.

Anyone who defends this thief is really sick in the head.

How on earth someone will sell our oil in which Tsatsu Tsikata played major role in it's extraction, exploration and Data for a pittance, turn around to arrest same Tsikata should inform Ghanaians that this Kuffuor really smells thievery.

If anything, Kuffuor should be arrested but today in Ghana, it is sad and worrying that there is no BRAVE man up there to arrest Kuffuor. He owns most of the Gas,oil etc stations in Ghana and proper probing will expose him.

You are an idiot par excellence. Who is more thief than your little god, Rawlings who sold 30% of Ghana Telecom for $45 million dollars.President Kuffour had to buy back that 30% for $110 million and turned around to sell 75% for $905 million and you dumb trokosi illiterate calls that as chicken feed? What do you illiterate know about business?

Kuffour got 13.75% for our oil, 5% royalties and 35% corporate tax. The 3% is what EO group got from Kosmos not from Ghana which constitute 1.75% of shares. Idiot, you talk from your ass because you don't understand what you are talking about.

Recently your Ndc signed oil contract with Tapp oil of Australia and do you idiot know what Ghana got? Your Ndc signed on behalf of Ghana for 10%. You are an illiterate idiot.

A Sunday School teacher was telling the children that God created everything, including human beings who steal candy also.

Little Johnny became fascinated when the teacher told him how Eve was made out of one of Adam's ribs.

Later that week his mother noticed him lying down as though he were in pain, and asked, Johnny, what's the matter sweetie? Little Johnny replied, "I have a pain in my side! I think I'm going to have a wife to steal candy for me also!"

This is an unacceptable excuse for the opportunity that President Kufuor had to make a credible effort to deal with corruption in this country.
First let me say for the record that I believe President Kufuor did some very great and bold things for this country such as taking advantage of the advantages that declaring Ghana a HIPC country offered and for pushing through the NHIA bill in spite of the tremendous opposition. He also started some praise-worthy infrastructural works and rekindled confidence in the economy and democratic governance of Ghana.
He however did poorly on attacking corruption.
I personally believe that corruption is the single most cancerous issue that will destroy this country. In the background of increasing population, horrendously high unemployment rate of our young population, poor education and opportunities for social advancement, we are creating a sure recipe for destructive social upheavals in the future. Corruption is a security threat to this country!
Any attempt to excuse our unwillingness to attack corruption head-on with seriousness is not only sad but a poor read of history.
Let us not give lame excuses for a serious failure of leadership.

KUFOUR MADE THAT STATEMENT TO SHOW THAT; CORRUPTION WOULD LIVE WITH US LIKLE WE ARE EXPERIENCING BUT WE MUST WORK HARD TO FIGHT IT.YES, THE NPP WAS KICK OUT OF POWER FOR WHAT I WOULD DESCRIBE AS A PERCEIVED CORRUPTION. BECAUSE; THE NDC IS ALMOST 5 YEARS IN POWER BUT COULD NOT SEND EVEN ONE GOAT TO COURT, NOT TO MENTION JAILING NPP MEMBER. SO PLEASE LET US BE CIVIL IN OUR SOCIAL MEDIA DISCUSSES AND THE POLITICIANS WILL ALSO TAKE US SERIOUS. THANK YOU GUYS. MONNIE BAWA FROM NAVRONGO

"Agyekum also defended Kufuor’s assertion that corruption is as old as Adam and Eve."

Frank Agyekum ia an idiot.

This red-eyed Kufuor also said 'corruption is a perception."

So can Frank defend this too?

IF CORRUPTION IS AS OLD AS ADAM AND EVE SO WE SHOULD LET IT DESTROY OUR NATION AND OUR LIVES. BIBLICAL DOCTRINES HAVE NEVER DEVELOPED ANY NATION . A NATION'S DEV IS HARD GRAFT.

Kuffuor never fought to eradicate corruption.He was badly immersed in it,selling state lands and buildings to himself,relatives ,party members etc.He is one of the corrupt leaders to rule in Africa.

Birds of the same feathers,flock together.If Kufuor believes corruption is as old as adam,no problem.That is why he presided over the most corrupt govt in Ghana's history.

How could the former president Kufour who jailed the late former deputy finance Minister(Victor Salormey), a Minister of finance Peprah,and Tsikata.Put former 1st lady Mrs Konadu Rawlings before Court on
corruption charges condoned corruption!
This NDC administration has nothing to offer
the Country I suspect.Or was Mr Agalga at the pito(local beer in the north) drinking Bar when
he made that accusations.
Silly accusations as a coverup of their gross administrative and professional incompetence and non performing leadership

It is true that corruption is as old as human kind. We have to distinguish between corruption and extortion. The situation in Ghana has long passed the threshold of what might be considered extortion. The same phenomena exist in all the so-called third and forth world countries. This is why the 'corruption index' has been developed and most countries fall in it! The stealing that goes on within the government is stunning. Government officials seem to think the people are so dumb that they will not see what goes on. Having said that, I will also state that the corruption in most of these third and fourth world countries is systemic. You go to the hospital, you have to bribe the admissions clerk. You go to the bank, you have to bribe the teller to withdraw your own money. You go to school, you have to bribe your teacher. You go to the Supreme Court, you have to bribe everybody from the court summons servers to the paper pushers. As for the police, you can just forget it! I remember reading about a Regional Minister in the Kuffuor government who went from being a pauper to owning multiple cocoa farms and houses with the obligatory newly acquired multiple wives and girl friends in less than four years. Of course, Jerry Rawlings also exploded from a pauper to one of the richest men in Ghana. In the 'first world' countries, such explosive acquisition of wealth will automatically attract an investigation in which the government official will be required to document how all the new wealth was acquired. Where did the money come from? Has the required tax been paid on the money, if acquired legitimately? A paper trail will document everything. Any explanation that my "uncle" gave me such or the other will not be acceptable unless the "uncle" could also be shown with a paper trail that they are capable of making such gifts. Alas, in Ghana we are all thieves! We complain, but when we find our selves in similar offices, we do the same thing!

This man is single-handedly the most corrupt guru and father of all corruption in Ghana. The markedly irresponsible omission and negligence by Agya Atta to hold this man to book has given him the ill-gotten freedom to constantly embark on unacceptable stides, traversing freely in Ghana albeit enjoying his ill-gotten wealth very much at the expense of hard working Ghanaians. Politicians of all walks of life now see this man as a yardsick/benchmark to measure their wealth using rampant and foul means to acquire wealth. Well, time will tell.
