AUTHOR: MR. FIGURE-OUT----------------
It is only in Ghana would such a dishonorably idiot be on the government pay roll. Professor Mill should be solely blamed for imposing those criminals on us. After Mills found Betty Moulds guilty of judgement debt payments the only thing he could do was to move her to the Education dept to continue her looting. Readers would recall that Betty Mounds was the one who awarded SCHOOL building contracts at a triple price of the existing contract sum of some GH 80,000.00. And this happened at a time when they claim inflation was in the single digits. Could you imargin how foolish these criminal liars were. Kuffour built similar structures with 80,000 at a time when inflation was around 14.8% and under Mills it was 240,000 at a rate of 8.8%. And these buffoons turn around to blame the fall of the cedi on some mysterious dwarfs. I don't blame those African countries that have been ripped apart by civil unrest because if you have such buffoons in power who always turn our local elections into a West Africa one
by contracting Togolese Trokosis, Burkinabe and Wangaras from La Cote D'ivoire to vote for them, the " Road To Kigare", is sometimes, a likely option to kick their ass from power.

How stupid thou art,BENERA. Corruption is eating up the whole country irrespective of race,tribe, creed,religion or status. It knows no boundaries,so why the blame on only the Ashantis? Do they constitute the
total Ghanaian population? How many
Ashantis are heading both the local and government institutions? Is WOYOME an Ashanti?. Answering these
questions will be an eye opener for you,and you will ceased from becoming a tribal bigot. Have a Good Evening, Mr.Benera,the nation wrecker.

Mahama's confined education, untrained ears, inability to learn, inexperience and lack of balls is our major setback.

This old man knows what he is talking about, the last altruistic, sensible asante, who thrived among good company i.e Nkrumah is very much on the level and must be sought after and taken seriously.

"The “peace” must be disturbed for a few, to maintain the freedom of the many."

Recruiting new thieves like the Akuffo Addo and family is out of the question.

Under NDC those who get promotion are the most corrupt officials. The less corrupt ones are reshuffled and the least corrupt don't get promotion while those with zero corruption are fired or not considered for any position of importance. Eg Martin Amidu as compared to the likes of Alhaji Muntaka, Bagbin, Ayariga etc. Imagine the former Brong Ahafo Regional Minister being appointed Ambassador even though he hid a criminal, wanted by the police, in his bedroom for several weeks. How about Vanderpuye, Baba Jamal etc? That is why some of Mr Asante's suggestions will not work under the present government. Nobody will report corruption if the authorities are not willing to punish the offenders bur rather reward them. NDC has already made peace with corruption.

K.B.Asante seems to be making a bit of sense but he must stop referring to foreign countries, such as Britain.

Yes, it is true that corruption may be everywhere on this Planet, but countries, especially in the Western \countries do support their citizens who are out of work- enough to keep their families intact.
So why should I have to worry about someone greasing their hands for Contract, etc.

What I deduce from K.B.Asante's article or speech is that, he is NOT able to hit the nail on the head as to be expected. Simply because we do have a Constitution which is overdue for reform and apart from the fact $$$MILLIONS had been spent for the review, NOT a whisper of sense has been raised by this Cats and Dogs Govt.

However, I do agree with his assertion that the "peace" of the country must be disturbed.

Truly speaking, disturbing the peace would be the only way officialdom, especially the CROOKS would be made to see sense.

I stated in the past that \Ghana is overdue for CIVIL WAR. Without it, these authorities in power would continue to think we must continue to be supressed.

Imagine, DULLARD MAHAMA, as a President commenting on a social media the other day that, the Courts are NOT there to install Presidents.

This translates that the Ndc knew that they could rig the elections and there is NOTHING the COURTS could do.

And given the present situation,i.e. joblessness, insecurity, crime wave, CORRUPTION IN THE HIGHEST ORDER, CHURCHES BEING MADE TO PAY TAXES (First in the World), Display of opulence by officialdom, Inviting Foreigners(Whites) to come and take our money in disguise that we owe them.

I mean what sort of Patriotic Government or IDIOTS DO WE HAVE IN OUR MIDST?? And now they are saying that the Youths of Ghana are NOY being PATRIOTIC. LISTEN TO THEM FOOOOOOLS!!!!

With all these and more, we are truly DOOMED. No wonder we have been placed in RECEIVERSHIP under the ambit of the IMF. And it is my understanding that they are on their way to Ghana by next week.

WHEN YOU ELECT IDIOTS, INTERESTING IN THEIR OWN POCKETS, THAT;S WHAT YOU GET. JUST SHOOT ALL THE CUNTS!!!!

Corruption under NDC is not going away because the leader who is supposed to fight it is the SOURCE of all corruption in Ghana.
JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA is involved in all high-level corruption and money laundering is the kingpin in all theses deals - SADA, GYEEDA, SUBA, RLG, AGAMAS, WOYOME, 2014 World Cup deals (see how he rewarded those involved - Afriyie Ankrah, Yamin, etc). So how can corruption be fought? MAHAMA's main objective as president is to amass as much wealth as possible and as a result of this penchant he cares not about the concomitant as to how many Ghanaians die as a result.

NO.But I strongly believe we have failed Institutions.We do not respect the Rule of Law that binds the our Social Contract as a Nation.

Corruption is global,however,it affects the developing countries the most.Because in Developed countrioes,Nobody is above the law(as MR. K.B. Asante points out).

For example,President Nixon was impeached or resigned for wrong doing(his involvement with Watergate).
But,in Ghana nobody is held accountable
For instance:a whole container-load full of Cocvaine gets missing from CIDHead Quarters(when this same Nana was Kuffours Attorney-General)and what was the outcome? NOTHING.Nobody was arrested.But,as soon as Amoateng was arrested in the U.S. the LAW jailed him for 10 years.

2)Our Entire Dept::Ministry of Foreign Affairs Building got burnt down to ashes.Now,whether this was arson or some electrical fault....Ghanaians to this day heard nothing about it.No investigations were held to detemine the cause of the fire.Nobody was held accountable

3)Our Tema Port is infested with so much corruption,our very own Anas came out with a compelling report about the rate of corruption and stealing of State Funds that he thought could finance the entire National Budget....and to this day,there's been no accountablity.

We find it easy to STEAL from the State,and yet consider ourselves as God-fearing people.We all go to church on Sundays,but behave differently on Mondays and the rest of the week.
WE HAVE FAILED INSTITUTIONS.OUR LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY AND RESPECT FOR THE RULE OF LAW WILL FOREVER BRAND US THE THIRD WORLD.
NOBODY IS EVER BROUGHT TO JUSTICE TO FACE THE LAW....In Ghana "Papa Asomasi
is related to his uncle Wofa Asomasi and
Maame Asomasi and Abusua-panin Asomasi and ,of course,Nana Kwaku Asmasi" and so on, and so on,hence nobody gets prosecuted.
Like Kwame Nkrumah said :"We all live in the swamp,we can choose to clean it or live in it" Thank You Mr. Asante

This is not news,but this too is a reality:IN GHANA NOBODY GOES TO COURT FOR CORRUPTION.

With all due respect to the learned and wise statesman, we have to build strong and independent institutions first. Can the Governor of the Bank of Ghana refuse to carry out instructions from the President such as paying $3m cash to some players in Brazil? If BoG was strong and independent as in some countries, the governor would have refused. Not in Ghana.

DR KB Asante is one of a few wisemen and a nugget of wisdom left for Ghana to give his candid pieces of advice of change with respect to difficult decisions to uproot corruption and bring sanctity into the political system.He is a man who does not fear to say the truth come what may.I will like to quote what he said at the close of his piece of advice which states,The peace must be disturbed for a few,to maintain the freedom of the many.By this,I believe he does not advocate for military intervention to change Goverments but adheering to wise adeas can make great impacts for a change to the benefit of the populace of our country. May God bless him to live long.
