Nemesis has caught up with Lithur, Tony and now he has been exposed for his initiation, leading role and enjoyment of the fruits of dubious judgment debt with his Mahama-led NDC thieves gov't and Woyome.
What a disgrace and an embarrassment. Repugnant, shameless and disgraceful human beings.
How do you sleep togetehr with your family when pregnant women are dying because of lack of medications and facilities at our hospitals whilst you shameless and disgraceful beings continue to thieve the country?
Disgraceful beings.
Criminal, even a layman knows running a busy private practice or vice versa, does not suffice as enough credible reasons or grounds or precludes one from proving that Austro-Invest was in existence before going ahead with that plain thievery, as has been proven beyond all reasonable doubt.
Disgraceful, thieving, shameless lot.

I am in no way condoning with the repugnant nonsense going on in Ghana. I however need to ask PRINCE KWASI to refrain from blaming Tony Lithur with respect to the Woyome saga. Tony was my junior both on campus and at Makola (Ghana Law School) I know him as one one the best lawyers in Ghana. Yes, he is well connected and that is not a crime by any definition. He ran a law firm as a Principal and like any smart practitioner did nothing wrong by charging top dollar to handle the Woyome case. Can anyone tell me what he did wrong there? He did what a prudent lawyer would do and got handsomely rewarded for it. Don't blame him for being well connected and a smart lawyer.

NO, TONY LITHUR DID NO WRONG BY REPRESENTING WOYOME. HOWEVER, BEING OPPORTUNISTIC IS WRONG AND TAKING MONEY TO UNDERMINE OR HELP SOMEONE TO RIP OFF ONE'S FAMILY OR NATION IS ALSO WRONG. WHY IS TONY LITHUR'S WIFE A MINISTER? ETHICALLY WRONG IS ALSO TO LIE IN COURT ABOUT A KNOWN FACT THAT WOYOME HAS A CONTRACT. ABOVE ALL, THE MANIPULATION OF THE COURT SYSTEM TO UNJUSTIFIABLY PULL STRINGS TO CONNIVE WITH BOTH PRESIDENT AND THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO PAY AND ALSO SET WOYOME FREE. AND ALL THESE ARE DONE AT THE BACKDROP OF THE NATION. THEREFORE, TONY LITHUR IS JUST NOT WRONG BUT ALSO HE IS AN ACCOMPLISH AND A THIEF IN WOYOME CASE.

Black Star Square: "Seek ye first the kingdom of politics, and all things shall be added". This in my opinion is the problem with Ghana. No wonder the politicians in Ghana are all corrupt and misappropriate funds.
Free Public Schooling and Affordable Housing very important
Ghanaians have to be hungry for success becos they are behind the rest of the world.
Invest in educating the population in proper English so they can communicate with the world.

All these people cal;l themselves Drs. What is the use of these degrees if it cannnot be used to help society. Go to the advanced world, those who carry degrees solve problems and bring solutions not reharshing of problems. Dod, u have said nothing than what we all know. Why didnt you say this when the plans were being made. You wait for the deal to crystalise before you come out. What should have been the alternative? All these people have no clue about what is going on and how to solve it. They are riding on their useless degrees to impress Ghanaians. We do not need this at this time but solutions. None of these people come up with solutions

WE NEED SENSIBLE AND EXPERIENCE PEOPLE TO LEAD GHANA. VOTE THE USELESS NDC PARTY OUT IN 2016. MAHAMA DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING AT THE PRESIDENCY. HE IS ONLY CELEBRATING HIS POSITION LIKE A MOVIE ACTOR. VOTE HIM OUT IN 2016.

Its very funny and heartbreaking that Ghanaian politicians don't realize the IMF and the world bank are there to perpetuate the poverty of the third world and that they have nothing good for Ghana?
For how long will this ignorance goes on. They go for loans with interest and conditionalities, which in long terms benefit few people of the country but put the masses in extreme poverty.
Examples, the Ghanaian government is not hiring again as part of the IMF loan conditionality. ECG is been sold to private companies as part of it. How on earth will someone tell me the IMF is good for Ghana?

I so welcome the perception that Ghana shouldn't have gone to the IMF for assistance but what is missing from all the people in opposition to the idea of going to the IMF,is that none of them have come out with the " BEST ALTERNATIVE ". This is where the whole opposition is just a mere political gimmick.

If the opposition tells you not.to.go for.imf loan. Then what other alternative are they giving you? Be self sufficient and find money internally. This govt.is simply lazy and devoid of credible ideas to.run the economy. Just becos you are hungry and have no money..don't mean you should go and rob someone. There are lots of alternatives available

The Mahama NDC gov't was a terrible mistake and that is the hard, bare fact.
Seven(7)years of that e de bee k3k3 hoax, that scam, has come to bite Ghana where the Sun doesn't shine, and it is just so needless. It is an unnecessary development and a complete distraction in Ghana's quest towards socio-economic growth and development.
The signs were there, the data was there, everything showed the NDC gov't lacked the capacity to govern, never had the capacity to govern but by some machinations, they got the mandate and the fallout as we are witnessing is fantastically and stupendously unprecedented.
Never in the history of governance in this country has Ghana been saddled with such administrative incompetence and malaise, mismanagement, corruption, plain theft, lack of leadership, recklessness and cluelessness of such monstrosity and on a scale such as this, and it is very, very dangerous looking at the sheer rapidity and cataclysmic descent of this country into the doldrums under this Mahama-led NDC gov't.
It defies credulity.
The day the Mahama NDC gov't said they lacked confidence and credibility was the day they should have resigned pronto, called for fresh elections for a competent team to assume the reigns of governance, instead of pushing the dead goat syndrome type of e de bee k3k3 yenti3 obiaa governance on the superhighway to the doldrums.
The IMF has never been the problem, it is the Mahama-led NDC gov't and they need to be massively, massively fired at the ballot box in 2016, because with this NDC party and gov't, Ghana is going nowhere.

Dr. Kofi Amoah has lost all credibility, in my book, if at his level of education and presumed world view he should infer that the IMF relied on data presented by the Ghanaian government without verification from the world body. Those world organizations continue to classify Ghana as a third world nation because they know more about our data and exaggerated pronouncements than we know of ourselves. Remember it is those very world entities that choose to call Ghana the best democratic nation amongst sub Sahara African nations instead of among democratic nations. They are not going to part with their money on some manipulated data from government and even academic institutions in Ghana because they know we are good ant the art of fabrication and falsifications of records.

I do not subscribe to third world nations, like Ghana, going to the IMF and other world bodies for help but I do so for real and tangible reasons. Ghana is and has been independent for 58 years because we claimed to be mature and responsible for our destiny at the time of our emancipation from our colonial masters; we do ourselves injustice and invite the scorn we get from civilized developed nations when we go begging with our national empty tin cups. We also invite the very World bodies into our lives even when these world bodies cannot bring themselves to look for solutions from civilized, industrialized nations who use threats and bad business practices to undercut prices of products from third world nations that perpetuate poverty in third world nations; they tighten our economic belts to suit selfish standards of developed nation world.

HAVE YOU ASKED YOURSELF WHY WE CONTINUE TO TRAVEL ADDITIONAL BOUNDARIES TO SEEK AID, CREDITS, LOANS, GRANTS AND BAILOUT TO SERVICE NATIONAL BUDGETS, IMPORT OF COMMODITIES,FOOD PRODUCTS AND EXPENSIVE LUXURY CARS AND JEEPS INTO THE COUNTRY-

IT IS BECAUSE, THE SO CALLLED EDUCATED STILL REMAIN UNCONVINCED OF THE IMPORTANCE OF TECHNOLOGY, SCIENTIFIC INNOVATION AND CREATIVITY TO CREATE ECONOMIC GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT.

HAVE THE ACQUIRED ACADEMIC DEGREES AND TITLES OF THE NOISY EDUCATED; ECONOMISTS,NATURAL SCIENCE HOLDERS, MADE A ''DENT''TO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF GHANA.

WITHOUT PERFORMANCE AND COMPTENCE TO PUT OUR HOUSE IN ORDER,WE WILL CONTINUE TO PLEAD FOR AID,REMAIN BACKWARD,UNDERDEVELOPED AND EXTREME POOR.

WHOM TO DO HAVE TO BLAME-THE EDUCATED OR THE GOVERNMENT.

ITIS AT THE PRIVATE SECTOR THAT A TRUE MARKET SYSTEM WORKS AND TO TRASFORM THE NATION TO PROSPERITY:
