The Alliance for Accountable Governance (AFAG) has in a statement described the Mahama-led administration as a “crassly incompetent and bereft government”.

They also called on Ghanaians to stand up and “seek our hope and fight for our right” due to the mismanagement of the economy by the NDC government.

According to the group, Ghanaians are “confronted with the greatest challenge of all times,” adding that, “the President and his team C men have nothing worthy to offer”.

Fellow Country Men, we are confronted with the greatest challenge of all times; the reign of a crassly incompetent and bereft government. It is obvious the President and his team C men have nothing worthy to offer.

The youth employment program has been collapsed by share greed of a few NDC men, a state treasured asset "Merchant Bank" been sold out to the NDC and members of the President's family, Woyome's money not been retrieved (and likely for the state to lose the case because the default judgment has not been contested or set aside by the AG), Waterville’s 22 million euro retrieval in limbo.

NHIS not paid providers for over 7 months, over 1.3 billion Ghana cedis not been accounted for in 2012 due ghost excess spending by MDAs, over a whopping $70million misapplied at GYEEDA, massive revenue leakage at the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), the John Mahama led "baloney" $10 billion STX deal which saw Ghana paying $245 million to Korean partners as "political risk insurance". Ghana lost such amount of money in what looked like a well orchestrated scandal.

Fellow Ghanaians, it is still very magical how an Umbraer jet which was meant to cost $28.5 million after John Mahama's led negotiations was purchased at an astonishing sum of $88million(The configuration of the airplane included an extra fuel tank costing $8 million; air staircase costing $1 million and in-flight entertainment of $1.4 million.

It is however ridiculous to think that $17million was earmarked to build a hangar to house the airplane. Mr. President 'the plane dey be keke'). In the midst of all this huge scandals and vicious examples set by the president and his allies, why will they not be looking forward to acquiring a state bank for safe keeping of our looted treasury?

REWARD OF CORRUPTION

AFAG in its research, can confirm that the "African Sun" hotel been built at the airport city belongs to Waterville's Teraconi and the famous Alfred Agbesi Woyome. What an interesting combination. In all these, Ghanaians continue to suffer at the expense of such greedy bastards.

Mr. President why do you prosecute Abuga Pele of causing financial loss to the tune of $2million, while, the Italian Teraconi's Waterville has been ordered by the court to pay 22 million euro(not enforced), and the AG is yet to set aside the default judgment which granted Woyome his life time dream cash for no job done.

ECONOMY vs. CORRUPTION

It is clear that, taxpayers monies have been misused over the past 5 years. Investor confidence has dwindled. Businesses are collapsing, social vices on the rise, almost every wealth creating institution is calling for change of economic direction.

The AGI, GUTA, GEA are all calling for common sense economic policies to save the private sector. The results of lack of money due to gargantuan corruption have led to over taxation, high prices of goods and services, capital flight and cedi depreciation

MASS ACTION

Fellow Ghanaians, the time is now for us to stand up and be counted. It is our God given responsibility to rise up to the occasion. We must seek our hope and fight for our right. The Onus is on all of us; young and old, individuals and groups, rich and poor, unemployed and business men to support the cause of change.

A change of attitude and pursuit of all criminals we harbor as businessmen. We must get set anytime soon for this call to press forward for some level of integrity, accountability and transparency from government.

Every country once in a while undergoes some problems especially economic. USA, the UK, Italy and Germany have experienced this before. Currently many countries in Europe like Italy, Portugal and Spain are experiencing economic problems and are doing all possible to get solutions. But in Ghana it is only Mahama-led govt that is the problem. So you see, our problem is ourselves, this BLAMING GAME.

It is sad, in our worst moments, we are so good at destroying ourselves.

The world will drag itself out of these crisis and Ghana will still be in the mess because some have decided to engage in sabotage while the others in power just want to enrich themselves and further worsen the crisis.

You are right, they destroy and then blame each other.

Prof Boateng should be telling us about the Equipment that was stolen from The Cardio centre when he was head. It was rumoured that he knew about the theft. What surprises me is you only hear these pseudo intellectuals loudest when NDC is in power. But they remain cemetry quiete when there colleagues in the NPP are in power and sharing public resources among themselves and their cronies. The Ghanaian public knows them well and will never vote NPP to power again for a long time.

2000 years of Akan glorious history can not be replaced by 50 just because ndc , nkrumah pepeni and ayigbe criminals say so or want it so. Today i listen to my psalms , hymns and war songs by bob marley and 2pac just like David who composed for the Israelis so remain inspired. i look out of my window and count myself blessed that i have not fallen prey to these fake prophets and priests whose only aim is to collect collection more than 10 times during a service but have the clarity of mind to meditate alone and offer thanks to God. What ever they say i know its the opposite , if they say look right you better quickly closely observe whats happening on the left. the say the economy is grown then you must know its a disaster , they say they are working on fixing the economy , know for sure they are only stealing , infighting now they have marginalized all influence of the Akans the pepeni and ayigbe crminals are now looking to eliminate each other , they say they have found new investors know they have discovered new ways to exploit and channel our money away. they say our women are short and ugly but look at the stinking rats and vulture they can women in their tribes and you you will know ours are the most beautiful in the world . they say they want cooperation but they are only looking to rubbish or steal good projects . they say they want the well-being of the ordinary man but in reality they only want to line their pockets with money and push the Akan further into poverty . they say they want an all inclusive govt but know they just want cement northern and ayigbe domination with their slave tribes like the Gas and some foolish brainwashed brongs , ashantis , fantis assisting them. they say they are evaluating ministers and other appointees but it is now a battle between the ayigbe and the pepeni to reduce the number of ayigbe since the Akans are all already irrelevant in their govt although we are the majority in this land . everywhere you go you find pepeni vultures looking over the carcass of Ghana and tearing out the flesh of wealth for their own greedy selfish selves . they are comfortable now as the critical mass of the people still think things will get better little do they know its beyond repair and can only be remedied with an organized uprising of the Akan. the npp seems to be cleaning house and thanks to ken agyapong most likely true fighters will emerge who will not throw in the towel like nana addo did just before the true battle starts due to cowardice. yes we are ready and will never surrender to these thieves and criminals , long live the republic of Akan

Ghana has history of more than 20,000 years if not millions. So, when you talk of two thousand years of Akan history, you may be talking of Akans who came from Sudan and chad. And this are the early immigrants of Akans to Ghana which happens 800 years ago. Even when they came to Ghana, they have to big for land to settled in Ghana. So, now what are you talking about. The best advice that I can give you is to go back to school and learn the real history of Akans. Or if you want to get it faster, just go and ask all Akans henes to give you brief about their own history.

SHAME UNTO YOU. You are a BIG DISGRACE to the LEGISLATURE. I have lost all respect I have for GHANA'S LIGISLATIVE arm of Government because of your REPULSIVE ACTIVITY. Amasa Namoale (also known as BBC NEWS and BIN LARDIN) must be expelled from parliament. You were elected there to help build GHANA, but you are rather destroying GHANA with TRIBAL POLITICS. This is the reason why NOBODYS' like you must be kept far away from GOVERNANCE.

This diatribe against NDC by AFAG is a blatant example of politics by a group that is myopically looking out for its group interest, and not that of Ghana's.
The eminent problem with have in our beloved Ghana is dishonesty from our elite - elites of all strip. From our religious figures, academicians, lawyers, poorly educated journalists, and clueless politicians eager to amass wealth before they are thrown out of office.
Total honesty from all is the simple solution.

The AFAG is a group of malcontents....the charges being levelled by the group against the government of Mahama are as ridiculous as they are absurd.....corruption sure should be eradicated, but it is the height of hypocrisy and arrogance to point an accusing finger at Mahama when the previous NPP government was equally inept and corrupt to the hilt...and yet the AFAG never uttered a word.....a pure case of bias if there ever was one....now it has become fashionable for all kinds of individuals and organizations to jump on the bandwagon of critics throwing barbs at the NDC and offering no solutions.....please, AFAG, spare us the nonsense and if you are not satisfied with the performance of the NDC, just patiently wait your turn at the election booth in 2016 and make a change with your votes......

- academics not able to educate young Ghana that Akim JB Danquah abused the hospitality of Ashantis to get them on his evil side to destroy Kwame Kwame Nkrumah to set Ghana back a thousand years

Where did Dr Busia school; what about Ex-Prez Kufour? Ex-Prez Mills? what about President Mahama? Wisdom is not in Books !!! If the academia are men and women of ideas, let them fix the problems in the Universities and run their families devoid of daily quarrels and fighting. Now Prof. Boateng, tell me if the M.P's are recruits from 'Sodom and Gomorrah' Did they pass through any of our Universities or not? Prof. you can undertake heart transplant but you will not be able to manage the 'Sodom and Gomorrah' community in Accra because you don't have the patience to accommodate and appreciate the 'thinking' of these people the academia consider 'brainless' Prof. Boateng, my humble advice for you is - forget about your dream of ruling this country because you can fix human hearts - you lack the patience, temperament, conciliatory heart,the commanding stature of a leader and above all, the political tough 'skin' to face criticisms and pressures - if you have hears, listen to the wisdom of 'jatokrom' Prof. go to your wife and seek her view about your political ambitions and take it or leave it.

When and if these people in academia make persuasive proposals,suggestions and criticisms surely it will be taken on board.However,if and when they become provocative and inciting then of course they will get a kick in the backside.What Ghana need is persuasive debates and suggestions and not the know it all attitude by some group of people.Most of these people come out politically attacking and we all know that attack promotes separation and separation promotes fear.I would therefore ask some of these individuals to be mindful of their communications.Persuasive communication brings people together.

All we need is common sense!!!
How do you pride yourself in being educated when the same person who sold your ancestors is taking 97% of your gold and leaving you with 3% after tax(that is even if they pay the right taxes).How dare you pride yourself in being educated when the oil we just found has a massive chunk leaving our shores under the same slave masters??
How stupid can you be??
It's like the western style of education makes the educated Blackman more stupid everyday,however they feel they are the bomb.
We have changed political parties and none of them addresses this issue.All they all look for is who to beg from for ready cash in exchange for resources meant for the people.

There should be an advisory group of University lectures(academia) and they will meet each year to brief the President on national issues. And I am sure the president will take their advise very serious. Party affiliation should not come into play when they meet. Their thinking and advise should be purely on research findings based on national issues.
This group can play a major role on curing this cancerous disease call corruption. I am sure their contribution will immensely help the President to better able him fight corruption in the country.

THE WORST PERFORMING HEADS OF STATES ACROSS THE THIRD WORLD ARE MEMBERS OF THE ACADEMIA.

EVIDENCE OF THIS IS PLENTIFUL.

CONSIDER THE CLUELESS LATE PROF. DO-LITTLE ATTA-MILLS WHO THOUGHT HIGH FUEL PRICES AND UNBRIDLED TAXATION OF THE POOR WAS THE BEST ECONOMIC POLICY, TO THE CORRUPT OXFORD/CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITIES-EDUCATED CORRUPT BENAZIR BHUTTO WHOSE HUSBAND WAS POPULARLY KNOWN IN PAKISTAN AS MR. 10% FAMED FOR RECEIVING 10% KICKBACKS/BRIBES ON GOV'T CONTRACTS. DOWN TO THE LIKES OF "OXFORD" EDUCATED J.A. KUFUOR OF GHANA, THE BEST BRIBES-TAKER IN THE HISTORY OF GHANA POLITICS.

THE LIST GOES ON, AND ON, AND ON, SO THIS GHANAIAN PROFESSOR DO-LITTLE SHOULD FUCK OFF!!

IF HE WAS A GOOD HEART SURGEON, HE'D BE COMPETING WITH THE BEST BRAINS ON THE GLOBAL STAGE IN MEDICINE, NOT IN MEDIOCRE GHANA. IF HE WAS GOOD, HE'D HAVE WON THE NOBEL PEACE PRICE, NAMED AFTER THE FAMOUS ALFRED NOBEL.

NO WONDER THAT EVEN MAHAMADU BAWUMIAH IS CONSIDERED THE BEST ECONOMIST IN GHANA.

GHANA!! WE'RE IN REAL TROUBLE!!!

You may also want to compare the current state of the Korle-Bu Teaching hospital to the state when Prof Frimpong Boateng was the CEO. Illiterates like you are part of the reasons why Ghanaian icons like Prof Kwabena Adu Boahen and the rest have decided to stay in the Whiteman's country forever!

U are certainly an angry wanna be ileterate fool from the stables of somalia! How can u imply that his not working outside or winnin the nobel prize implies he is no good? Do u evenn hav a family member who was nominated for nobel prize? Mdoes that make u and ur family useless as it were? Ghanaian ignorant bastard, if u even qualify to be called so! This man has qualities which smack of originality...something we need in a ghanaian leader to stop the lootin of our resources. Someone who truly blives in adding value and production. Check his personal profile, and u will realise the number of projects he has embarked on aside medicine! Finally his bravado is the reason why we can do heart surgeries here today. So get of ur high horse, if u truly hav anything to offer put down ur name and speak like a resopnsible male or female who is proud of his or her achievemnt. Otherwise shut up, idiot!

Amasa Namoale (also known as BBC NEWS!!!!) You are a bad parliamentarian because of your negative activity. TRIBAL POLITICS IS BAD. As a parliamentarian, you should know better. You were elected to help build GHANA, but you are rather destroying Ghana with TRIBAL POLITICS. You hardly work. You spend most of your time on the internet spreading TRIBAL DIVISION. Amasa must be sacked from parliament. This is definitely not a parliamentary material. You can tell from what he has just posted. His contribution is very negative

If this professor do-little was good enough, he would have written tons of books in heart surgery, or even micro-/macro-economics for Ghanaian presidents and students to learn from.

Is this professor an Akan? No wonder!!

Just go to Google and find out about Prof Frimpong Boateng. Your display of tribalism has rendered you not only blind but stupid as well. Accordingly, you lack the ability to reason! Fact is, Prof Frimpong Boateng is more than a million times better than you and all your family members put together! You and your tribesmen vote for goats as MPs in your eczema-infested enclave, and no wonder nothing appears to work in Ghana. Yes, he is AKAN and we will continue to be proud of him along with his achievements.

You don't need european education to move the country forward,look at us for example.
We need people with common sense and a tight hustle game.
You have to sell your game well to make it in this world and be truly successful,that why I am with you on this subject.

Ghana have two problems: rawlings, his corrupt organisation, and those foreigners majority ,who are Bastards! It is not enough to be a ghanaian president simply because one was born in Ghana. It needs in addition a complete understanding of the ghanaian's cultures and traditions,the source of Ghana's creation. With a total respect to our chieftancies, the elders, the academia and our institutions. A simply neglect of one of these recalls a curse, the peaceful co-existance, a tribal decentralism, the gateway to poverty. Rawlings in his ascension adventure, have always neglected the academia, because of his low scholarity, he could never match in elitism. The result is his formation of semi/illiterates and illiterates gangsters organisers ready to kill and destroy to set themselves from elitism and the moral disciplines. The social and economic effects of his action are so desastrous and insidious ,that ,Ghana have to re- invent other capable institutions to sustain her survival.Mills understood this,but the northern traders had stolen enough and could longer retreat! Mahama is our woe!

President Mahama has make his mind not to listen to any advice from people he thinks nkonfem is much more important than them.As world leaders invest billion into science,robot and technology,President Mahama and politicians are busy investing billion in mobile phone,repairers,barbers and rearing nkonfem and abandon technology and technical knowledge and our youth has turn armed robbers and prostitutes and who want to leave a decent lifes are selling dog chains.Time is runing out for Apostle Safo and other inventors whom GOD has given to Ghana to develop.Ghana has lose one of its great inventors Ounamoa his knowledge and wisdom could not pass on to generation to carry his legacy thanks to the wicked president Kufour for failing both Apostle Safo and Ounamoa.This also goes to late president mills who fail to promote science and technology as he receive Gideon Agyari and this friend solar and salt energy as well as Apostle Safo and he choose to criminal pay judgement debts and abandon technology that could be revive our economy and leader Africa they fail to knowledge the important gift GOD has bestow upon Ghana with technology?.l Peter 1:13-14 said,Free your minds(from Mental slavery)then,of encumbrances(that you cannot do anything)control them(think about sanctions)and put your trust in nothing(investors and world bank promises)but by the grace that will be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed.(meaning Almight God that we call upon his name and worship has given Jesus Christ the power to bless Ghana and provide us with out needs has given us inventors to transform our economy to make great and strong as out anthem demand because we ask GOD so and he kept his promise.Vers 14 said do not behave in the way that youliked to before you learned the truth(this means we should not be like the man who ask GOD to save him from drown and GOD provide him with horse,canon and helicopter to save him and he refuse to accept the offer.GOD is telling us not to be like take man)make a habit of obedience.President Mahama Please stop follwing both Kufour and Mills footsteps and stop the GYEEDA financing and rather use the money to help inventors and train our youth in egineering,science,robot,innovation and technology.Mr president kindly stop put your faith in foreign investors and concentrate on local investor for they will fail you.The Bible quotation came from the Jerusalem Bible.l Peter 1:13-14.
