    Only kwaku, unlike Pratt and Effson will never allow his stomach to influence his journalism. Now Pratt has made a sharp U-turn from NDC and so castigating Mahama over corruption. He found it prudent to describe Miils as the ...

  • Kwasi Fosu. Breman 10 years ago

    Mr.know-all Kweku Baako. And how much did you get of that to help you buy your 4x4. God is watching each and every one of us(whether NDC/NPP). The day of reckoning is coming to answer for our "wicked"deeds.

    You lot are just stupid. Are you satisfied the money has been tracked or you are worried how the cheque 'migrated' to the UK. Decide what you want.

    The critical question is was the proper procedure followed? It is strange that $19.5 million cannot be accounted for since SG has no trace of it.

  • .. 10 years ago

    ASK SG TO TELL YOU WHY THEY HAVE STOPPED DEMANDING PAYMENT FROM GHANA. IT BECAUSE THE HAVE RECEIVED PAYMENT. THEY ARE NOT STUPID TO TAKE US TO COURT OVER THEIR MONEY ONLYSTOP DEMANDING PAYMENT.

  • Rasheed Tamale 10 years ago

    But why couldn't such a cheque be easily traced by any Teller at JP MORGAN BANK? If it took this time to trace that cheque I honestly believe there is something still not clear. Questions?

    Small correction: this address is in Poole in Dorset, NOT in London, as the Post Code clearly shows: 1 WIMBORNE ROAD POOLE DORSET BH15 2BB, LONDON, UK;

  • malan 10 years ago

    you are right i just check on google map, Kweku Baako could have checked this before publication. this bit makes the whole story is a total fabrication.

  • Benjamim Avornyotse 10 years ago

    Am proud that we have people like the Editor In Chief of the New Crusading Guide . This is what we call valid argument, supported by strong premises.

  • malan 10 years ago

  • Whatever 10 years ago

    Societe General who is reportedly to have received payment said they shredded all the records regarding the monies received so what has been uncovered?

  • malan 10 years ago

    that address in Dorset is over 120 miles away from central london because it is 116 miles away from Burnt Oak Broadway in north London.

  • JohnD 10 years ago

    The account number is:
    "Societe Generale New York"?
    This "number" clearly indicates fraud.
    This is not a number as we understand a number to be.

    Poole, Dorset is not in London. The address quoted as Barclay's Bank PLC, Wimbourne Road, Poole, Dorset BH15 2BB, London, UK is a fake.

    What do you know, Anokware?

  • Asea Ho 10 years ago

    You have forgotten that an address of a bank granting loan to Ghana in London under NPP was traced to a barber shop? Why are we wasting time with KB's propagandist publication.

    When Kobby Acheampong want to crucify Nana Akufo Addo without waiting for the real fact of the deal. Nana Akufo Addo is a politician I trust will never involve in any criminal deal to defraud the nation.
