This man now wants to sell off the remaining state properties even though he claims to be socialist. Any time he speaks about strategic investors, then people should be wary that something is cooking up. This man behaves as though he has no mind of his own and that certain hands are pulling the strings. His demeanor gives credence to the facts that, his presidency is fraudulent. That some forces pushed forward the presidency at all cost to share the whole country among themselves. Now that we already live in the Republic Of Corruption, Mahama will go down as the leader of the looting brigade.

AUTHOR : SULE******
.............It seems the NDC gov't is running against time to send Ghana into the pits and it is extremely worrying, very, very worrying that, such a magnitude of ineptness, incompetence, recklessness and corruption can be brought to bear on our governance structures in such a crass manner. This Fortiz/Merchant bank deal deal from all indications is putrid, it stinks to the high heavens and nothing can justify such an atrocious deal, when Ghanaian taxpayers, from all indications are not getting any VALUE FOR MONEY in this stinking deal. Omane Boamah, MD should seek to explain why an equity firm which cannot even boast of the asset base to even acquire a non-financial banking license, should be made to take on this onerous task of not even a merger, but a full complete acquisition of Merchant bank, when Ghanaian taxpayers, have been offered far, far better VALUE FOR MONEY propositions from identifiable bodies with a portfolio of assets eclipsing over 100 billion dollars? It is indeed mindboggling the level of impunity and recklessness which has been unleashed on the affairs on governance by this NDC gov't. Ghana indeed deserves better than this recklessness which is permeating all facets of governance in this country. It's awfully pathetic.

i dont see the Europeans offering the other benefits such as the freedom of movement and insisting on visa free entry into their countries. they are not offering half a trillion for infrastructural development and real assistance in bettering the standard of the people of west Africa . this is a war that will destroy any chances of self reliance and self development . see what they have done to our poultry , fish and beef industry . until we have people who understand the issues and the true hidden agendas and dangers of such a one sided agreement where the benefits are only for the Europeans we should not engage in any such devastating experiments . EPA is being pushed now because they are aware pepeni is an illigimate president , even now the video of the murder of atta mills is being circulted in private circles and one day soon he will be overthrown so he is rushing to put another yoke and burden on the people of Akan. this govt can only borrow and can not even secure investments of 30 billion dollars how do they expect to handle a multitrillion agreement which in reality denies your own people the right to develop their own industry. our industrial base is less than 3% by the way. lets not allow this foolishness to pass , its time for a revolution so we restart the future for our children. we shall never surrender

This mushroom association is saying a deal is inimical to Ghana but the Fortz group is a Ghanaian company. What are you bunch of idiots talking about?

Yes it doesn't make sense to you but those ghanaians who have their country at heart think otherwise, they think the whole deal stinks and its part of create, loot and share brigade.I feel very sorry for JDM because of some people who he has associated himself with to steal and destroy this country, these his associates think he being the president their indemnity clause stolen into the constitution is going to shield him but what he forgets is it can be amended since there is nothing in the constitution that prevents amendments.Mr president, don't get the shock of your life about the first thing ghanaians will ask after the 2016 regime change through the ballot box which is coming on live is the removal of the indemnity clause to pave way for you to answer your stewardship to ghanaians, in any case your lawyers who are Tony Lithur and Tsatsu Tsikata are equally going to answer some questions about some deals we are all waiting for that day.From 1979-2016 ghana has produced and is still producing a crop of her citizens who are not going to allow any politician to take them for granted, our kids who are now growing to take care of our land are discerning and they need nothing from the politicians than accountability, they are going to hold your necks until you vomit all that you've chopped.Hi Boyz and Girlz keep on fighting till they come to their senses that being a politician doesn't mean stealing state assets but taking good care by distributing the wealth of the country for every citizen to have a better life.

Can someone please tell me where the corruption is in the Merchant Bank/Fortiz deal? The opposition in Ghana is a real disappointment, we have BIG issues with our mineral resources, Ghana as a country needs to maximise the returns on our natural resources. Can we hear some useful suggestions from the opposition on how they will change the status-quo IF we give them the nod, instead of useless political gimmicks???

Ask the NPP who only see everything bad when it is a different government but not a UP/NPP government. Vodafon, Ghana Airways, state houses etc were all good for them but not the merchant bank. Ask NPP folks and they will tell you the corrupt aspect of the deal. When president Mahama's brother has not paid off his loan the NPP made noise. After he paid leaving the folks from NPP, now they are quiet. Imagine.

It is the same group of people who are stealing the Osagyefo Badge to give it to the white man free. So when will Awuni and NPP members love Ghana and Ghanaians.
