  "Bad Aid" by Dambisa Moyo
  thats the only reason behind these loans from imf. they artficially create the monetary and economic conditions in Ghana that we need the loans. they dont care about the future repercussions or interest. once the multinational loans are issued, they jump.for joy! some.sod cuts to show and presumed contracts are signed but the jobs will never see the light of day!
  Corruption, Mismanagement and public sector inertia, redtape is the cause for all this mess.and imf fuckers! We have no.one to blame but us and no one will.ditch us out. Until we can find a solution to those issues listed. These corrupt politicians who steal don't even reinvest their stolen monies back in ghana. That's why ghana is suffering! Who are you waiting for to bring money into ghana? Remittances from burgers or imf dollars? Like my Oldman always use to say "you have a llooonnngggg way to.go"! Believe nothing you hear and 1/2 of what you see!!!

  Isn't it sad that you guys always swallow hook line and sinker, all these lies from this discredited Freddie Blay NPP mouthpiece called Daily Guide? Can you find the truth about how IMF exposed NPP's lies about the figures?

  Ignorant lazy fuckers called Ghanaians wake up.
  
  I like Christine Lagarde though. She is trying to clean the organisation, but make no mistake it will take decades to clean and make the IMF work.
  
  Ghana gov't, loans, aid and grants are not the best options. Get those lazy fuckers who think they are born with entitlement to work.

  Daily guide, why are u always behind time?. IMF has come out to clarify their position by saying that the 71% is a projected figure into 2015. What it means is that, per their calculations, if cedis continue to depreciate at current rate with current trend of loan inflows, the country debt rate could mount to 71% in 2015. This was what Gubta mentioned. Nobody disputed the figures sent to IMF by BoG. It is all NPP imagination.

  Whenever these NPP operatives are in opposition, they fill as if the whole world does not function and it is they alone who can rule Ghana. The last time they were in power we have heard a lot from them that the former NDC government faked figures to the World Bank and that Ghana was punished. Led by the old and short man standard they are still peddling this lies again and I don't just understand why the government communicators are not doing anything about the wholesale lies by the NPP led by Bawumia and Akuffo Addo
