this matter of hammah is the most serious of all as it proves most importantly that the verdict was tampered with. her greed is of no consequence as it isnt impossible to make a million if after 8 years on invests her earnings into real estate development for example which actually proves her estimate to be right . what is damning here is the fact that pepeni's pillow talk is leading the country into a constitutional crisis if he doesn't resign or is impeached with a immediate effect. by sacking her admits to her letting the cat out of the bag that he bribed the judges and is therefor an illegitimate president with an illegitimate govt. we consider any decision from today onwards nun and void and not binding . any loan or monies spent we shall not honor , also to the weak npp we say to you also , participating in this sweep under the carpet and lets get back to business as usual is more than just shameful. the institutions of state such as the army , police bni , judicial should all be telling us they are conducting investigations and are ready to arrest pepeni and the culprits immediately as the true rule of law must be upheld . pepeni start packing .as was Mary Magdalena instrumental so is Victoria mahama we love you and shall even marry your harlot ashawo ass as you have been unwittingly an instrument of God in once again exposing these pepeni and ayigbe criminals . long live the republic of Akan

OOO fATHER FORGIVE HIM FOR HE KNOWS NOT WHAT HE IS DOING.
A hallmark of any incompetency is an excuse, which by the way is a trademark for Mahama’s Administration an extension Mill’s inability to perform until his untimely death. Here we go again, putting the plight of suffering Ghanaians into different motions. How long can we wait until you move to your fourth gear?

Blame NPP boycott of vetting ministerial appointees after the 2012 elections. Perhaps, their presence would have helped to spot the bad nuts in the mix during the vetting.

Your point means that NDC's members in the Appointments Committee of Parliament are just rubber stamp members and milking the tax payer to the bone. Whatever way we look at it, the bucks stop with Mahama. He is incompetent, corrupt and non smart person hence he wants to work with mediocre individuals in order to stamp his authority over them.

You know what, smart people will not fit in Mahama's administration. E&OE.

You are indeed a party that is bent on winning elections and that's it unfortunately for the general mass who were lured to vote for you. The rest is to loot the country in batches.

Kwesi Pratt, you are a moron, a fool, and a useless analyst. What has happenend is the hand of God, to expose the evil, corrupt NDC. If as you said, Parliament had than due diligence to the appointments, this exposure by Victoria Hammah wouldn't have come about. Nothing happens by chance, OK? When we said the judges condoned and connived with NDC to influence the election petition result, thereby perverting justice, you dirty, loud-mouth, stomach journalist, jumped from radio-station to radio-station, including TV-stations, condemning the NPP. Now, what are you saying? Blame who? Your motherfucking father is to blame.

Kweis I agree with you. The opposition instead of helping get the right material for ministerial appointments to move this country forward decided to hang on to a useless piece of document called pink sheet to fight a useless petition in court. This is what we bargained for and we have got it. Let us all remember that our actions or inactions one day will come around to haunt us. Ghana first. lets stop this useless politics.

NPP didn't participate in the vetting of the ministers,therefore,NDC is totally responsible for all these MEDIOCRE "GUINEA FOWL POLITICIANS" now having their abode in the parliament.
OUR WEALTH IS IN THE HANDS OF WRONG PEOPLE,WHO HAVE NEVER TASTED IT BEFORE.
Therefore,they are hungry like lions on a prey,tearing it mercilessly,all over the place.
NPP COULD BE BLAMED FOR BOYCOTTING THE VETTING PROCESS,ANYWAY.
In RAWLINGS' TIME,NPP did the same thing,and HE AND HIS EWES BAND,were sitting on the heads of the citizenry,and doing whatever they liked with impunity.
Whatever we sow: grows,nurtures,multiplies,expands,flourishes,therefore,we have to be very careful,in the choice of the kind of seed we sow,because we would inevitably reap the fruit of it.
The whole parliament can't be blamed though,but the NDC.

Rubbish the NPP MPs refused to take part in the vetting process as they were licking their wounds from the election result. NPP Mps therefore are even more to blame sas they did not perform their duties as they were duly elected to do by their constituents. Maybe if they had done their job maybe Vicky would not have been appointed. I agree with Kwesi Pratt the whole of poarliament is to blame. |Stop being onesided and see the bigger picture Sir Mensah

In 2009 government over expenditure amounted to GH¢300 million. Why over expenditure in 2010 exceeded GH¢800 million or why over expenditure totaled GH¢1.3 billion in 2011 and; the mother of all over expenditures – GH¢2.8 billion or ¢28 trillion in 2012. Yes, 2012 was on election year but equally so was 2004 where there was not a penny of over expenditure. In 2008 the government submitted a supplementary budget to cover an amount of GH¢180 million which was related to the elections, specifically, the Electoral Commission’s activities. Professor Mills qualified that additional GH¢180 million as profligate expenditure. How would the revered Professor have described the over-expenditure by GH¢2.8 billion?PARLIAMENT is to be blamed for the EXCESSIVELY MASSIVE CORRUPTION going on in the country. Why is nobody prosecuting them? Why have you all looked the other way over all these years AND ALLOW THIS ROT TO GO ON UNCHECKED? Are they above the Law? We have too many Foolish Leaders in the Country hence the suffering of the masses. It is about time you all SACK yourselves from that useless Parliament - making Laws and not ADHERING to it. THIS IS stupidity in the highest degree. You all LOOT from the Ghanaian people. May God's wrath descend upon you all.

Well said Mr. Praat. The Appointment Committee is certainly doing a dis-service to the Country by their attitude in confirming people to positions they are not qualified for. This sort of thing has been going for too long and must change. To start with, CVs of all appointees must be made public and to be subjected to public outcry if the candidate does not qualify for the position and to be removed immediately. There are well educated and qualified Ghanaians to hold positions in all areas of government that will serve the Country well. The Government should stop appointing people and rubber-stamped by The Appointment Committee to positions they not qualified for because this practice promotes mediocrity and it does not speak well of the Country. The business of appointing people to serve a Country is a serious undertaking and Ghana Government should advise herself accordingly.
