Author:-PRINCE KWASI ADADE (OFIE)...

DR. BAWUMIA:-----------
“In the last six years, the NDC has borrowed US$27 billion. Before that, we, the NPP, borrowed a total of US$5.5 billion in eight years. Compare that to the NDC borrowing $27 billion in six years and ask yourself what they have done with all that money,” the running mate to Nana Akufo-Addo said.

He said, though a lot more money has been spent, it is a paradox of economic management that this level of excessive spending has only led to greater hardships being visited on the people.

“NDC inherited a public debt stock of GHS9.5 billion in 2009,” the former Deputy Governor of the central bank said. “Today, Ghana’s debt has gone up to GHS65.7 billion. So when I say the stakes are high I am talking about the destiny of our country, Ghana, the future of the youth.”

“The NDC has been taxing everything, including condoms and cutlasses. In terms of resources, this NDC government has had more resources than any other government. We did not have oil. Yet, Ghanaians know what we did with the limited resources we had. We spent money responsibly to create the NHIS, introduce Capitation Grant, expand access to education, we spent wisely on infrastructure and built more roads than any other government,” he said.

ENERGY, CORRUPTION, WATER
If the government can attempt to find solutions to these 3 issues. Things will be better. Instead, they borrow the funds and steal. Jail or even death is a must!
Book: "Dead Aid" by Dambisa Moyo
Every economist, African leader, finance minister must read this book!
Book: "why nations fail": an abundance of natural resources is a national curse!
These nations with natural resource wealth on average have worse financial economies than nations who don't. Why you ask? Weak institutions, corruption, bad governors, managers!
Ghana Sovereign Wealth Fund by Martin Skankar.....Norwegian Ministry of Finance
What is "Dutch Disease"?
A percentage of proceeds from oil, gold, diamonds, cocoa revenues etc should be deposited yearly in a Ghana Sovereign Wealth Fund account, a national 401k. This money will never be touched by any govt, period! This money will be invested all over the world in socially constructive projects. Projects to be excluded can include chemical nuclear projects, environmentally disastrous projects, product based exclusions, tobacco, walmart(human rights abuses). The ROI from this fund will be used to supplement infrastructure projects. Is Ghana a cursed, weak institution? Yes, I agree whole heartedly!

ZERO TOLERANCE FOR CORRUPTION!
1. Corruption Sensitivity Training: Educate the executives(attorney general, the judges, public officials, immigration, police officers)about the short, long term effects and impacts of corruption. Corruption Sensitivity Training should be a mandatory part of interview process, class, testing requirement for all ministers and public sector officials. Make them aware of the consequences and have them sign off on this. If judges, police officers, employees are educated and made to understand the explicit and implicit impacts of corruption and how it affects their own salaries, bonuses etc. Things will change!
2. Enforce the Law: Offenders must face jail time, tickets/fines, sell assets to payback what has been stolen, name and shame offenders in media
3. Put ethical persons in positions of power,
4. yearly revenue audits brief
5.NPP: Narcotic Peddlers Party, NDC: Niggas Deep in Corruption

NDC: adum a dum dum b3 gyae! Muahahahahaaaaaaa
NDC has ruled ghana more than any political party since 1957.
Yet, look at the economic and infrastructural deprivation in Volta region? Muahahahaaaaaaaaa

Most African leaders have always been accused of misplacing their priorities and bad governance. Does the NDC government think, despite the massive corruption, they can borrow recklessly and spend their way foolishly into another mandate in 2016, when the nation is over burdened with HIPC and workers wallowing in hunger and over taxed?

Governance under the NDC government is all about deceit and 'opium of the people'. They enjoy everything under the sun but ask us to wait for our basic needs in heaven. And as they ask us to tighten our belts for future betterment, they're loosening theirs for immediate consumption. They didn't even respect our intelligence when they said we should wait for a paradise in three years. The truth is that, everything they promise is a mirage and we will never find comfort under them because; they are con-men with con plans.

Just around a year ago, when an aircraft carrying huge quantities of Ghana Pure Gold was impounded in the Middle East, the President flew there the following day "on an official visit". When Ruby Ametefe was arrested in London for trying to smuggle huge quantities of cocaine into Britain, the President immediately sent his envoy in London to visit the lady in prison before she gave away the identity of the real owners of the drugs she was carrying.
Everybody, except the government, claimed that more money was put on the flight to Brazil than what was used to settle the players' overdue appearance fees. Even before the smoke has been allowed to finally settle, the President is once again flying to Brazil on an official/unofficial visit.

Mahama has planted an old THIEF in Brazil as Ghanas Ambassador in that country. So Mahama goes there from time to time, to share the booty they have stolen from Ghanas cofers!!!

And of course, when an African man gets booty money, it goes with womanising!! If in doubt ask former Nigerian President ABACHA!!!

So Mahama goes to Brazil for his share of the stolen money and for womanising. In other words, he goes to Brazil to rest, for fun and away from it all!!!

If anyone is in doubt, pay a foreign press to follow him. In this technological world, and social media era, a steward from within could be hired to take photos on their mobile phone or on their wrist watch!!!

MRS Lordina Mahama open your eyes!!!!, insist on going with him to Brazil and you will see the confusion that will erupt.

Can anyone imagine Kwame Nkrumah, Busia or JJ Rawlings going on international assignments for a bit of fun?

Mahama is the most Disgraceful, Corrupt, cant control his own brother, head of state so far produced by Ghana. USELESS. PLANLESS, and LIGHT WEIGHT. We dont want Coup detats any more, so lets pray for the day he will be democratically removed from office.

God help Ghana, God save our land from the shackles of inefficient politicians who waste our natural resources.

THAT ASS HOLE PRESIDENT OF GHANA IS NOT EVEN AMONG THE INVITEES OF WORLD LEADERS. HE IS ONLY INVITING HIMSELF AS A FRIEND OF BRAZIL. WHAT IS THIS KIND OF STUPIDITY OF AFRICAN LEADERS. YOU CAN NOT SIT IN YOUR RESPECTIVE NATIONS ON YOUR USELESS ASSHOLES AND PLAN SOMETHING MEANINGFUL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF YOUR NATIONS? WHY ALL THIS FRUITLESS TRAVELS FOR. MAHAMAH IS GOING TO BRAZIL ON HIS OWN ACCORD WITHOUT BEING INVITED, FOR WHAT? YOU USELESS PRESIDENT YOU ARE.

It seems globe-trotting is the main plans and agenda of this President, in place of lack of prudent economic measures.Or, is he simply fascinated by the red carpet treatment.I see him walked Chest-out whenever he's on the red carpet.Is there not a level ground at Bole to lay that red carpet for Mahama to stay home(Ghana) to do the peoples business !

Another unnecessary trip; further waste of our money. I hope he is not going as a representative of GFA, taking 3 million Dollars with him as a bonus for attending the ceremony of someone in her second term.
