This victoria hammah affair is of major concern , let us not forget even in America president Nixon was forced to resign or face impeachment for much much less as all he did was eavesdrop. here pepeni has confirmed he was able to bribe and therefore tamper with the justice system. any country which has citizens above the law is doomed to failure. the seriousness of this matter makes me wonder how cowardly or profoundly corrupt are most of our institutions such as all the political parties , the police , army and judiciary. pepeni should be made to account and be punished . God has made us to know what kind of a scoundrel and rouge this pepeni is by making his secrets slowly know to all of us . first he instigates the murder of his Akan king mills , organizes the cover up and rigs the elections and seals it by bribing the judges. today the govt is not functioning and we are going backwards , no more serious investors coming only those who wish to exploit and rape the wealth of the nation . in the ministries and govt institutions nobody is patriotically serving the nation as all are now afraid to act lest some pepeni or ayigbe decides they want that position or destroy the work. the moral fiber of society is seriously challenged as it is now the norm to be corrupt and steal . ministers are in charge of sectors they have no clue about so cant give direction , an account at finance , a secretary at transport, a schoolboy with nothing in his head at trade and industry , and a pepeni who who never saw the sea before he was 40 at fisheries , incompetence galore and they run around accusing and blaming the innocent for their own non performance and inaction . hopeless fools

When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwesi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwesi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwesi Pratt can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Pratt and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratt's recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Pratt has the guts to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

As for these Deputy Mininsters they are there to either amass wealth or do propaganda. The NDC is just too incompetent, clearly this Deputy Minister is saying certains about sendig draft bill to parliament only because some opposition NPP members have criticised them in the past about the Volta University. So all they do is listen to their critics and use what they have been criticised on in future as if it's their thoughts, they just don't have that knowledge, experience and intelligence they just talk.

Am surprised that informer can be so daft in their delivery as if they do not Know the country. Let's face it, once this Eco whatever is done, not a single penny will go to Government and even if it does , to the so called consolidated fund with no benefits to future development to our environment.

If the collection of tolls on toll roads cannot be used to maintain that particular road to keep it in top shape, condition and with all the necessary road furniture in place but monies found go into this same so called consolidated fund, how much more a PPP programme. What a country.

Has the government done a proper analysis of the Achimota Forest and green belt on the eco-system of Accra in particular and Ghana generally. Do we know the value of the nim trees for health and the environment. What is 87 million to Ghana's coffers when it can be easily given away in judgement debt. The Aburi Gardens andmany more areas such as the Adenta Aviation Park exist for such purposes. Let's leave the Achimota Forest alone.

This bastard of rented press editors of the NDC always think that Ghanaians are fools. Did this bastard listened to Barbara Asamoah when she spoke about the proposed sale of the forest to a private partner? If you dont understand what is going on, dont try to tell us Indoom is lying. Let me ask this question: Why cant you go ahead of what ever you want to say about a person than refering the persons past, ie, the twice defeated presidential candidate, a minister under ersthwhile Kufours government etc. Atta Mills was on 3 ocassions defeated when he wanted to become the president of Ghana. Were you and the other tribalistic newspaper Herald refering to him as such? Please, let us think about where your corrupt and inefficient government will land this nation before 2016. bastard.

Mr. Nduom is right.All green spaces in Accra are disappearing so we must preserve what little is left. The Informer reporter is being disingenuous in his report. Can he explain the concept of ecotourism?

This project was started by NPP,of which Paa Kwesi "Indomi" was a party to.
My question is why should he start it in the first place?
HIPOCRITES.

Ndoum .... you don't know what is happening in the Achimota (Dodowa) Forest!!! It is being carved out piecemeal by piecemail to some people....Ghana! I wish somehow, the whole country will have the collective bright idea to vote for PPP and let NDC and NPP cool their heels for some 4 -8 years and see whether you can do anything better. Except that I cannot see that happening....

Mahama is the President. Not Nduom. He must go and stop the encroachment and protect the Achimota forest not engage in official encroachment by parceling it out to his cronies in the name of eco-tourism!

There are plenty of forests outside Accra for your ecotourism adventure. Achimota forest certainly is not one of them and must be preserved.

These government officials sign contracts not based on their viability but on how much kick backs they are going to receive. $230 million, my foot.

I urge all concern citizens of Ghana,to wake- up and demo.before these crooks sell the sea and the rivers.Now they have stolen all the Money available,and the slave masters have refused to give us loan,no matter how much interest we will pay .Now we have been sold already to our donors, our Grand children will come and pay for the debts these crooks have borrowed.Ghana must weep now.

what a nauseating argument? this informer or dis/misinformer has gathered information of the benefits of ecotourism which can help him make C- thesis, but the question is of all the nature reserves in the country, why Achimota forest which is in the city? Papa Ndoum was talking about the siting not the benefits. Shai game reserve, the Krobo mountains, Digya National park, Mole etc. why the one in the city, has the misinformer realised that there's no green-belt in the city.

What money has ever been used to help what you are talking about? Even the NHIA tax at the harbour, has been diverted into different things and personal pockets....would money from eco-tourism be used as you say? Informer, you can decide to be the mouthpiece for detruction of Ghana because of what you gain, but, all of you should know one truth, DESTRUCTION OF GHANA, IS A DESTRUCTION OF ONES SELF, because, if Ghana smells, you cannot buy your own air.

The Minister is trying to throw sand in our eyes. And Informer is playing tricks on us. Nduom is right. Reclaim all Achimota Forest land and protect it properly as a National Park - a green forest area - only one left in the broad Accra area. Common sense too Mahama does not understand?
