GHANA TO FOLLOW SUIT - THEN AFRICA ???

Jerusalem (CNN) -- Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was sentenced Tuesday to six years in prison for taking bribes while mayor of Jerusalem.

Olmert was also fined 1 million shekels (about $289,000), Israeli state radio IB reported.

Olmert was convicted in March of receiving about $161,000 in bribes related to a controversial Jerusalem housing project called Holyland. The judge acquitted Olmert on a third count of bribery.

The developer of Holyland, Hillel Cherney, had been previously convicted of bribing Olmert and other high-level officials in exchange for Holyland approvals.

2012: 'Right-wing dollars killed peace' Olmert was mayor of Jerusalem from 1993 to 2003.

Olmert, an attorney who in 1973 became the youngest person ever elected to Israel's parliament, the Knesset, served as prime minister from 2006 to 2009.

He announced his resignation shortly after police recommended corruption charges against him.

In August 2012, he was convicted of breach of trust and acquitted on two corruption-related charges after a trial that lasted nearly three years. He was given a 3-month suspended jail sentenced and fined about $19,000 in that case.

The allegations stemmed from Olmert's time as mayor as well as prime minister. Prosecutors accused him of double-billing government agencies for travel, taking cash from an American businessman in exchange for official favors and acting on behalf of his former law partner's clients.

GHANA HAS BEEN RAPED BY NDC IDIOTS. WE DO NOT NEED ANY NATIONAL ECONOMIC FORUM, WE NEED A NATIONAL COURT OF JURISDICTION TO PUT MAHAMA AND HIS CABINET ON TRIAL. GHANA'S HOPELESS ECONOMIC SITUATION, TODAY, IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. NDC HAS OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS PRESIDED OVER THE BIGGEST RESOURCES IN OUR HISTORY INCLUDING CRUDE OIL & STEALTH TAXES. THEY HAVE ALSO CONTRACTED THE BIGGEST LOANS IN OUR HISTORY. IF THEY HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR THIS AND THE ECONOMY IS IN SHAMBLES, THEN,THEY MUST BE PROSECUTED. THEY MUST GIVE THE MONEYS BACK TO THE TREASURY. WE DO NOT NEED ANY ECONOMIC FORUM. SET UP A COURT IMMEDIATELY. IT HAPPENED IN THAILAND RECENTLY

As your employers, you need to show us some respect, John Mahama !

How dare you lie to Ghanaians for the votes and then exact hardships on them only to turn around now to tell us not to be cynical ?

Should we be hopeful under you and your corrupt, inept and visionless govt ?

This kinda insult makes me feel sad. Blacks as a matter of fact is behaving as if we are different people coming from different planets to form earth. As a matter of fact, we are all aiming towards making the country good for our children. Do you think the president would want to be named the worst president in modern day Ghana ? But I bet you, they way NPP is making Ghana tough, NDC can worsen it if it comes to the turn of the NPP. NDC is not a small political party to play with considering their presence in the legislative house. PLs let us reason for the sake of the future.

You don't want us being cynical at all times, and also want our voices heard when it comes to national issues BUT, Mr. President, why do you let your inexperienced raw and insulting babies with sharp teeth always tell us we lack the capacity to judge or even contribute the little that we have when we see things going wrong? Everything we say is wrong and can only be seen the NDC way. Is it that bad you now see it fit to ask for the people's input? May be your so called juvenile ministers that never held a job in their lives before they became ministers have all the answers.

Building a country or a nation calls for unity and a common sense of purpose. Ghana has come a long way. The global economic crisis has caused all kinds of shock waves in countries worldwide and Ghana is not an exception. We all agree that there should be a paradigm shift as far as our economy is concerned. Value addition should be our main focus for now. President Mahama has led this crusade since he became our President. He has propose that we patronize made-in-Ghana items. This forum will give all the stakeholders the platform to share ideas about how to achieve this paradigm shift. It's unfortunate that some group of people have decided to boycott thus all important forum. Ghanaians should take note of the posturing of these group of people when it comes to choosing who will handle the affairs of state.
