These are persons whose only occupation has been in public office and if they can dole out such huge sums, they must have plundered the state.

In the developed countries the IRS would have immediately checked their tax status to see if such amounts could have been from their income after tax. But in ghana, if the GRA were to embark on this, it is the ordinary citizen who would mobilised against the authorities. These corrupt persons would accused the tax authorities of doing the government's bidding.

It is sad that we protect thieves and expect the economy to proposer. The unemployed youth who would get jobs if the economy improves are the ones the corrupt public officials will use to fight against the authorities who attempt to question them.

I think ghanaians deserve to suffer worse than this.

Let Ghanaians suffer. They deserve all these crooks parading as politicians. They haven't seen the end of their suffering yet!

mahama was a mistake choice that believe me most even in their God forsaken ndc party truly regret . Mills was murdered so that pepeni and ayigbe idiots could get their hands on power and money . now we all see what they are really doing soon they will be swept away and never again will any of them even come close to any official institution of state . mahama and his brothers after financial forensic investigations will be the first president to get a life sentence for corruption and crimes against the state . the alternative is a bloody revolution and war forget a peaceful transition of power as the will definitely try to proclaim victory by rigging the elections with the help of national security .This time the people will not be taken for a ride as we saw with the glorious demonstration in Kumasi the other day, the Ashantis have finally made us proud .Yes what have WE AKANS done to deserve such a stinking foul corrupt thieving pepeni/ayigbe kum Ga govt on our heads ? A whole police chief no dey see top when the people the people started to spontaneous arrive and they no go see top when this is organized nationwide with the help of all progressive political forces that do not agree with the daylight robbery corruption we are see today . If they even dream of shooting just one bullet we shall turn the demo bloody and deal with them all . We Akans are tired of being cheated and we will get justice and freedom whether they like it or not . Their police in their uniforms of brutality can not frighten us as we have nothing to loose , they have made life so hard that it cant get any worse . we are fed up with their incompetence , selfishness ,lies and hate .

These crooks would demand 5000% interest payments from Ghanaian taxpayers for their investments when by chance they come back to power.

This shows Ghana is between a rock and a hard place with these crooks of politicians in charge both NDC & NPP.

They have no ideas except to throw money at everything and Ghanaians end up paying for this folly.

Ghana is between a rock (NDC) and a hardplace (NPP)

They don't need to have the money. They can even borrow it from friends and relatives.

This is how comes when they get into power they terminate legal contracts to give it to their friends and relatives to pay for their campaign investments leading to huge judgment debts paid by the poor emaciated taxpayers.

There really is no hope for Ghana from either the NPP or NDC.

Does it make sense to quote figures in the old cedis? If five presidential aspirants pay 85,000 cedis, how does it amount to 4.5 billion cedis? Such avoidable mistakes always push us to some unknown corner. It is very stupid to still quote figures in the old cedis knowing very well that we have abandoned it some years.

When are we going to go modern if only we understand what modern means?

Who knows if they don't have some of the old currencies hidden somewhere and would find means to smuggle them to the B.O.G for exchange after 2016?

Pelicles, I agree with you one hundred percent. That was exactly what was going through my mind while I was reading this article! What is 4.5 billion, 85,000, etc? We're sick and tired of the mixing of the old and new currencies. How long will it take to stay in the present when reporting amounts? It's too confusing, and it's about time this madness stops. The media and others, who should know better, need to grow-up and get with the program. Confusing the masses with the two currencies is definitely a big part of the "Ghana problem". The Ghana media should instead be trend-setters rather then continuously playing a major part of this currency chaos!!!!

Thieves.Most of the aspirants,apart from the celebrated Dr. Frompong Boateng, at a point in time have had access to tax payers money .No doubt they have the means to pay that huge amount.

Dear Writer,

Why do you still use the old currency and confuse everyone? The old currency is dead and gone so pls leave it alone. GHC 4,3 billion in old currency is not the GHC 4.3 billion in the new currency. It is only GHC 430,000 so stop deceiving and confusing people. If you the writer still use the old currency, get over it and move on with the current currency we use in Ghana.

It is C4.25 billion (old cedis) not GHC4.3 billion (new cedis). In the New cedis it is GHC 435,000. This is not state funds. If it is let us know. NDC has stolen 27 billion new cedis or 9 billion United states dollars!

Our politicians and media houses should stop confusing us with the old currency and the new currency, and at times quoting in dollars.

Is this deliberate or they are confused about the worth of the denominations themselves ?

In my opinion, this is the main cause of our dollarization problems. Or is it an unscrupulous attempt to create an atmosphere that enhances and engenders corruption in our midst?

This is nothing but a recipe for more and more corruption. One wonders whether these gentlemen (no lady mentioned yet) are that rich in the midst of the general complaints of hardships,or merely motivated by greed, or patriotism? It has also been whispered in some circles that certain individuals and groups are gearing up to sponsor some candidates? How do we make sure that drug barons and people with shady characters are just pushing to prop up candidates so that they can gain undue advantages? This promotion of "monitocracy" by NPP into our politics is getting rather scary.

How you get Ghc4.3 billion 5 aspirants who has only paid Ghc10,000 each and have Ghc75,000 left to pay. Even if the 5 aspirants are paying Ghc 100,000 each it will add up to only Ghc 500,000. so where did the writer got Ghc 4.3 billion from?

Ghanaians must be wary of the huge demand from the NPP'S flagbearer fees. In my opinion, where will they get that sum to stand as flagbearer of their party, and what happens to those who loose in their voting proccess? The money is not refundable, meaning the paid fees will be used to campaign for the winner to contest in the presidential elections in 2016. The winner, will then have to repay the loosers of their flagbearer contest in case they are elected to power. This is exactly where CORRUPTION comes in. Money meant for projects will then be diverted to private pockets. Ghanaians must discard the NPP if they really want to better their lives and live happily.

I don't know who decided to call the new currency Ghana Cedi, when the old was equally called Cedi. It makes no nesne whatsoever.

To avoid any confusion, they should have given the new currency a new name altogether.

Can we do away with the old currency conversion, and stick with the new cedi please? These conversions can be very confusing.
