  • KOLA,LONDON MAIN 10 years ago

    Merchant Bank Collapse started with the NPP. NDC is doing well to get in new administrators to run operations of the defunct Bank.

  • CARDINAL 10 years ago

    Illiterate idiot, don't use words you don't understand. Merchant Bank was not defunct, fool. Fortis bought it fo 90 million Ghana cedis. The word defunct means; has gone out of existence. Merchant Bank is still operating unde ...

    Illiterate fool, did you even understand what the court said? The court ruled that Awuni lacks locus to sue. Do you understand the term "lacks locus" in judicial terms? It means the person has no right to sue or he has no int ...

    In your Borla-Borla article, you made it clear that it was a bad deal and you also criticized the bad terms in the deal.

    MA GUY IF YOU SAY THEY ARE RIGHT THEN LET THEM GO TO COURT AGAIN...YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE WRITE AND SPEAK GOOD ENGLISH BUT KNOW NOTHING...JOHN BOIS

  • Yaw 10 years ago

    You need to read what the court said. It did not say Awuni case lacks merit but rather it said he has no right to sue to stop this sale.

  • KOLA,LONDON MAIN 10 years ago

    What do you understand by Awuni Lacks focus.

    Awuni is Novice, simple.

  • CARDINAL 10 years ago

    Hahahaha, so your understanding of locus is focus?

  • Yaw 10 years ago

    Is that your understanding of what the court said? Let somebody who understand English explain the ruling to you.locus is not the same as focus.

  • Moses 10 years ago

    Half education is dangerous to your health, London boy.

  • OSBON 10 years ago

    No court will say lack focus. You cannot lack focus
    Lack focus is bad grammar. Don't write that again.

  • Adwoa Obeng 10 years ago

    Is Mr Awuni a stakeholder? If he is, what is the bases of this judgement. The judicial system is seriously sick.

    How can the court say that he is not an interested party when he is a citizen of Ghana that owned Merchant Bank before it was given away to party apparatchiks? This ruling will be overturned.

    Only a fool will say such a thing. Can you ndc idiots justify how a price of 90 million Ghana cedis and 90% ownership by Fortis is better than Rand offer of 199 million Ghana cedis and only 75% ownership? You guys need to gro ...

  • Yaw 10 years ago

    Is Fortiz happy with this technical ruling. Why don't they want to go into the substantive issues? What are they hiding? Any Ghanaian can bring action against what is considered an inappropriate disposal of public asset.
