When people like you claim to be men but have no balls.....

When you claimed to have an energy expert but Ghana never benefited from your expertise apart from eating yafu yafu..from the state account. Remember your deeds when you were in charge of Ghana @50 when so much money went down the drain with no results.

When Kwamina Bartels was shouting at the top of his voice and lying all over the place at all cost and sleeping with young girls. The worst hypocrite Ghana has ever produced

They are all led by rogues....Kuffour claims to be a lawyer but has never ever been involved any court trial.

Akuffo Addo claims to be a lawyer but has also never trial any case; he has no certificate to back his claim.

I C Quaye certificatless

Obetsebi Molato Lamptey Certificateless.

All these rogues throgh drug money manage to hold ministerial post in the country.

This is what motivated Nkrabea Effah Darteh to be president after all Kuffour "koraa" is president.

Eiiiii NPP cheap side dey sweet you. you dont want to learn always short cut.

Tell Akoto Osei to publish his Doctorate thesis..........there is so much gap between his Certificate and his utterances.

Where is JH Mensah, Edumadze, Prof Ameyaw Ekumfi and Hackman Owusu Agyeman…….they are all silently enjoying their booties as if they are dead.

Go and see how Prez Mahama of Ghana has transformed Gonjaland with Ghana money just within the two and half years that he has been in power. Every town, village and hamlet in Gonjaland has received a facelift with new facilities such as roads, toilet facilities, markets, mosques, good quality water projects, electricity extension projects, etc. The question is did J. J. Rawlings do the same thing to Voltarians when he was in power for twenty years? What about Atta Mills. The good old Prof was in power for three and a half years yet he was not selfish to only concentrate on his people in Ekumfi Etuam and the central Region but rather his whole thought was for the general good. No wonder under the care of Prez Mills, Ghana achieved a growth rate of 11%, single digit inflation and the smooth implementation of the Single Spine Pay Policy where newly recruited police personnel received the nominal equivalence of 500dollars as monthly salary. Compare these achievements to the nepotism and selfish policies of the Mahama government that has crippled the Ghanaian economy. I really weep for Ewes and Fantis whose votes brought Mahama to power and yet are the hardest hit by the current hardship prevailing in the country.

NDC is a criminal organization.
1. They tightfistedly and criminally indulged in fake judgment debt payments to Cp, Waterville, Isofoton, Africa auto ltd, cronies, etc etc
2. 2. Asiedu nketia bloated his blocks prices and was the sole supplier of blocks for the bui dam. He claimed foolishly that his blocks were quality ones…and ndc also foolishly accepted this criminality by him.
3. 3. Ablakwah okudzeto was lobbying Martin Amidu to pay out fake judgment debts to cronies which the good old martin Amidu flatly refused.
4. 4. Ablakwah okudzeto even lobbied for Africa auto ltd to be paid 1.5 BILLION DOLLARS FAKE JUDGMENT DEBTS.
5. 6. Six Classroom Blocks Costing 80,000.00 Ghc Under Kufforu Is Now Costing 400,000.00 Ghc Under John Mahama And Ndc
6. 5. John Mahama Overspent The 2012 Budget By 4.4 Billion Dollars Just To Win Elections
7. 8. Sada, Gyeeda, Subah, Rlg-Zoomlion-Ndc Govt Collusion To Dupe Ghana.
Wherever NDC is found, there is corruption, stealing, destruction and or killing of innocent humans. NDC came first to kill Ghanaians. For instance, they killed high court judges for no reason; including Justice Koranteng Addow a nursing mother, and two other high court judges among thousands of innocent civilians, burnt them to ashes. NDC came to destroy all the good policies instituted by NPP including, School Feeding Program, Free Maternal Care, National Insurance Scheme, District Assembly Common Fund and the Metro Mass Transportation system among others. They have managed to destroy all of these programs. How callous could they be than this? And finally they have stolen all assets belonging to Ghana, selling all to themselves as beneficiaries. They have stolen Ghana's bulky money in the treasury and last but not the least; they have created Gyeeda, Woyome, Sada, Subah, Merchant Bank, all in the name of judgment debt but rather criminally sharing the monies among themselves. How dare you? I mean how cruel are you to behave like this? NDC is typical in stealing, killing and destroying just as Satan the devil.

NDC government thinks, despite the massive corruption, they can still 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 have already loosened theirs for immediate consumption. They didn't even respect our intelligence when they asked us to 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.

Ibrahim Mahama's Attempt To Defraud Ghanaians Foiled

Since becoming President in 2012 after the death of President Mills, President Mahama has to always explain his half brother Ibrahim Mahama's business dealings with the government due to the cloud of secrecy shrouded in most of Ibrahim Mahama's contracts with the government.

The recent brouhaha surrounding Ibrahim's use of government equipment recently brought to the country at a cost of $28 million to help Local government to execute its projects is a case in point. How did Ibrahim get his hands on these equipment? According to letters signed by a Deputy Minister for Local Government and Rural Development, Nii Lantey Vanderpuije.The Deputy Minister indicated that he was writing based on directives he had received from the Office of the President. That means it was President Mahama who directed the Ministry to release the 28 million dollars equipment to his brother to execute a 'philantropic' project for the People of Ghana which would have been a noble cause if that was the main reason.

Let me jog readers memory to something that happened a couple of weeks ago concerning Ibrahim Mahama and a confrontation he had with a Photo Journalist.A couple of weeks ago, Ibrahim Mahama and some Policemen attacked a photo Journalist taking pictures at a construction site in Accra under the management of Ibrahim's E&P company. At that time, it did not make sense to me why taking simple pictures of road under construction should result with Ibrahim and some Policemen attacking this Journalist physically and taking his camera from him. Now I know the reason. Ibrahim was afraid his cover of using government property procured for use at Odaw river were being used at different construction sites in Accra, Tafo and Klagon by Ibrahim's E&P Construction company for contracts that his company stood to make millions of dollars and using government properties to execute, that is plain stealing of Taxpayers money.

The earth-moving equipment was brought in after Parliament approved a 2014 loan agreement to help provide funding for a new drive to retool the various local assemblies.But in two separate letters, the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development directed the release of the equipment to E&P.According to Joe Osei Owusu,Npp member of Parliament from Bekwai and a legal Expert, this amounts to a conflict of interest because the equipment has been found at the private construction site of E&P at Akyem Tafo where the company is executing a contract.He disclosed on the Point Blank segment on Eyewitness News that when the equipment arrived in the country, they were registered in the name of German Equipment Company.

Why was government Equipment registered in the name of German Equipment Company? Are these government properties still registered in that Germany company's name?

It might be routine to put your company's name on equipment leased or on rental but in this case, Ibrahim did not lease or rent the equipment so it is very unusual especially it being government property for him to paint his company name and logo on them. If these machines were registered in a Germany Equipment Company's name, was this an attempt to pass these government properties to Ibrahim E&P Construction Company at the blind side of Ghanaian citizens?
When this underhand deal came to light, the reason given by Ibrahim did not make any sense. According to Ibrahim Mahama:
Ibrahim Mahama argued that such a professional job cannot be carried out without "putting your name on the equipment."Explaining why he branded the equipment in the name of his company, Ibrahim Mahama stated that if that is not done, people may steal them and sell its parts.If government gives me a truck to work with and I don't put my name on it and the next thing you know, it will be at the magazine and they are selling it and breaking the parts. What do I say to government," he asked.

What a poor excuse. Is Ibrahim Mahama telling us people don't steal equipment with company names on them?
You painted your company name on government property as if it belongs to you and this is the reason you are giving for an attempt to steal the equipment?

I have never heard of such a brain dead excuse. Putting company names on equipment prevent thieves from stealing them? "Shoot", Ghanaians should then start protecting all their properties by putting make up companies name on them.
What is so annoying is that this Ibrahim saying 'A good man is never honored in his country'. This has nothing to do about being a good man but an attempt to steal from poor Ghana Taxpayers which has been exposed. The Bureau of National Investigation(BNI) if it is truly an Investigative body without it being an extension of this administration to haunt its political opponents should initiate investigation into this matter. If government property has been used by Ibrahim for personal gain, he should be arrested and prosecuted for stealing.

My question now is can we see our faces in the Odaw River now, is it all clear of silt and debris now. For such a hefty cost of GH¢150 million, the river should be better than the River Jordan.

He think he is smart to evade tax collection and seek to fool Ghanaians that he is performing a volontary work for the nation with gouvernment equipment. Ghanaians are sharp than his NDC gutter projects. Yesterday it was Nketsia handling his company with government equipment . And this have been going on without paying a farthen as tax. Only idiots and some NDC foolsoldiers do not understand this underground system. Ibrahim is caught. He must pay for using sate equipment and pay income tax on his exploitation. Now let's see how Mahama and his Pepefou will handle this. Then we shall keep it in memory. It is only fools who are so blind who do not understand this 419.

They should know that if the noise and the songs about Woyome in 2012 election didn't help them to win the election no amount of propaganda will help them this time to win the election,they can go to hell with their foolishness,Ibrahim does not owe the government a dime,rather the government should compensate him for the work he did.

Mahama and some Presidential Security guards attacked a Journalist who was filming Ibrahim at a construction site using the equipment to not at Odaw river but at a construction contract he has been paid to do.

General News | 26 May 2015 11:56 CET

Presidential Guards Lash Journalist

MICHAEL CREG Afful, a senior reporter with Oman Fm, was on Monday reportedly molested by two military guards from the Flagstaff House in the full glare of Ibrahim Mahama, brother of President John Dramani Mahama, at Ashaiman in the Greater Accra Region.

The journalist had gone to Ashaiman where a dual carriage road was being constructed by Engineers and Planners (E&P), a construction firm owned by Ibrahim Mahama, when he was hounded by the military men who seized his cell phone before he was given some strokes of the cane. He claimed he received some hefty slaps on his chins for filming the road and Ibrahim.

He was issued a police medical report form to attend hospital at the Ashaiman Poly-clinic after he had made a formal complaint to the Ashaiman District police.

It is alleged that the military officers carried out the assault on the orders of the president's brother, who was said to have scrolled through the pictures on the mobile phone before returning it to the military officers - with the ranks of corporal and private – who were said to have been detailed to the Ashaiman road from the presidency.

The incident took place around the workshop of E&P at about 9:45 am, near the former Ashaiman main lorry terminal when the president's brother visited the construction site ahead of an inspection tour of the area scheduled for Wednesday.

When DAILY GUIDE got to the area, military personnel and a well-built civilian were seen seizing bicycles and motorcycles from riders who were plying the newly asphalted road.

Some of the commercial motorcyclists were also not spared the molestation as they received their share of the lashes.

Narrating the incident, Michael Afful told DAILY GUIDE that when he got to the site he saw some Chinese working there, adding that he took out his phone to take photographs of the construction work which was in progress.

He continued that he was approached by a soldier who asked him of his mission and why he was filming the workers and Ibrahim.

Before he could answer the questions, one of the military men had collected his phone and sent it to Ibrahim who witnessed the incident.

The presidential guard, he recalled, after scrolling the content of the phone to ensure that all pictures of Ibrahim were deleted, went to the video section and saw Kennedy Agyapong weeping on Adom TV over last week's murder of the Upper East Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mahama Adams, the military man became offended and started screaming that he (journalist) was aligned to the opposition party.

Afful intimated that the military man started slapping him there and then, whiles the other used a cane he was wielding to lash him severally.

When the situation was getting more serious, Afful said he quickly took to his heels and went to report the incident.

Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Hebert Sosu, Crime Officer of the Ashaiman District Police Headquarters, told DAILY GUIDE that investigations had commenced into the case, and that the military personnel had confirmed seizing the cell phone of the journalist.

Sarpong,I hope you are not deceiving yourself thinking you are deceiving us.
In the first place the equipment being used on the Ashaiman road is not the same as the equipment used to dredge the Odaw river,they are different equipments,not all road construction equipments can work on dredging and the Ashaiman road project has been going on long before those equipments were even brought to the country.
This incident has nothing to do with Local Government equipment which has long been returned to the ministry but the Ashaiman road construction is still going on.
Ibrahim came to the rescue of both Ashaiman road and the dredging,I passed that particular road several times while in Ghana recently and I was in Ghana up until later part of June,the Ashaiman road which has been under construction forever is now being done perfectly by Ibrahim,he is a heroe in Ashaiman for doing what he is doing.
Let us praise people when they deserve praise,the Eastern Region allegation is all lies by some NPP parliamentarians.

You are a real funny guy. How many dredging projects has Mahama E&p company done before this Odaw project?

Why then was Ibrahim upset for somebody taking pictures of a road?

Is the Odaw River at Old Tafo in Eastern region where some of the Equipments were found on a road construction under Mahama E and P company contract?

"This incident has nothing to do with Local Government equipment which has long been returned to the ministry but the Ashaiman road construction is still going on."

What does the above statement suppose to explain? Are you telling me if you start a road construction you cannot later bring in other equipments? Or if you return the equipment you cannot continue with the road project?

Let's reason here, ok? How can Ibrahim work at the Odaw river has cost 150 million new Ghana cedis in two months, from July to September when he was not using his own equipment and fuel? Labour alone at Odaw river in two months cost more than the whole budget at some Ministries in Ghana? How many workers did he have at at ODAW RIVER? 10,000, 100,000 or what to cost 150 million Ghana new cedis in two months? ARE WE A SERIOUS NATION?

This is not an issue of stupidity as you are trying to infer. This is a matter of reasoning rather this explicit statement from you.

Regardless of the work being done, if it is free or not, we as society should always live by some norms or a certain principles which should serves as foundation for chain of reasoning for our behavior when we conducting a public service.

Just analyze methodically or in details statements from the President’s chief of staff, the two ministers from the local government office and the President’s brother regarding the issuance of these Government vehicles. Where in the world could a government seek assistance from a private contractor or private contractor offers his/her assistance to the government free without any written contract that defines the scope of the work?

If this is the behavior or practices of our government officials, then no wonder the government is always taken for granted by some smart people who see these loopholes when dealing with them.

Asking questions about how a private company can just proceed to site of this magnitude free, assigned government trucks, put their company log on the on the truck without formal contract does not amount to stupidity instead it is an action of logical thinking which unfortunately it is missing over here.

This was an attempt by the President to turn over state equipment to his brother for free use on his other contracts.

Ibrahim was afraid his cover of using government property procured for use at Odaw river were being used at different construction sites in Accra, Tafo and Klagon by Ibrahim's E&P Construction company for contracts that his company stood to make millions of dollars and using government properties to execute, that is plain stealing of Taxpayers money.

The earth-moving equipment was brought in after Parliament approved a 2014 loan agreement to help provide funding for a new drive to retool the various local assemblies.But in two separate letters, the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development directed the release of the equipment to E&P.According to Joe Osei Owusu,Npp member of Parliament from Bekwai and a legal Expert, this amounts to a conflict of interest because the equipment has been found at the private construction site of E&P at Akyem Tafo where the company is executing a contract.He disclosed on the Point Blank segment on Eyewitness News that when the equipment arrived in the country, they were registered in the name of German Equipment Company.

Why was government Equipment registered in the name of German Equipment Company? Are these government properties still registered in that Germany company's name?

It might be routine to put your company's name on equipment leased or on rental but in this case, Ibrahim did not lease or rent the equipment so it is very unusual especially it being government property for him to paint his company name and logo on them. If these machines were registered in a Germany Equipment Company's name, was this an attempt to pass these government properties to Ibrahim E&P Construction Company at the blind side of Ghanaian citizens?
When this underhand deal came to light, the reason given by Ibrahim did not make any sense. According to Ibrahim Mahama:
Ibrahim Mahama argued that such a professional job cannot be carried out without "putting your name on the equipment."Explaining why he branded the equipment in the name of his company, Ibrahim Mahama stated that if that is not done, people may steal them and sell its parts.If government gives me a truck to work with and I don't put my name on it and the next thing you know, it will be at the magazine and they are selling it and breaking the parts. What do I say to government," he asked.

What a poor excuse. Is Ibrahim Mahama telling us people don't steal equipment with company names on them?
You painted your company name on government property as if it belongs to you and this is the reason you are giving for an attempt to steal the equipment?

I understand there two types of contract (written and verbal). However, independent of your political affiliation and for the sake of legal arguments do you expect an official verbally agreeing to let out Government equipment or vehicles for sake of a volunteering work. I say this in the capacity of someone with sixteen year experience as county government employee. Therefore, if this is the way our folks behave back home in governance and with your approval due your mannerism of defiance. Then Ghana we have unyielding problem ahead of us.

"He told journalists although the company was providing free services, the value of the work done, as of July, could be pegged at GH¢150 million, while the equipment that had been made available by the government had a total value of about GH¢30 million"

The state is providing the Equipment and fueling them, the only service Ibrahim Mahama is providing is the Expertise and labour and from July to September the Experts and labour alone is GH¢150 million,? No wonder the country is broke under Mahama and his stealing gang.

The government is lying like a Sailor. How did the equipment at a purchase price of $28 million become GH¢30 million?

Ibrahim Mahama was not using the equipment at Odaw river alone. He was using the $28 million equipment for his company contracts at Old Tafo in Easter Region and Accra for personal gain.

Is Ibrahim telling us he has Employees to operate these machines but has no equipment of this type to do volunteer work?

What is the government telling us? He has these equipments but has no employees and Experts to operate them?

Why should Ibrahim Mahama insure an equipment that does not belong to him?

This was an attempt by the President and his brother to steal the $28 million equipment at the blind side of Ghanaians.

These noise making NPP folks. Here is a Ghanaian firm providing benevolent services free of charge to government, something that would have cost the government hundreds of millions of cedis. All he had were free equipment and fuel from the government while he provided the technical know-how. Now, tell me; what is wrong with this arrangement, and why should somebody see this as something that should not be done? Are NPP people not Ghanaians who will appreciate the good in others beside themselves alone? Why do they make so much noise about anything and everything? I am sure if NPP were to be in power and such arrangement was made, they would use the equipment and also charge the cost of work done to government to pay and they would share the money.

Follow Ghanaians we don't need to politicize this issue. We should face facts. Let me remind, Ibraham had said he insured these equipment comprehensively under his company name. Therefore who paid for those insurance cost. Also according to one minister, all they gave to E&P is fuel. Hence who paid the workers used for this job. Finally the whole story sound too good to be true.

This call by the Minority in Parliament is highly ridiculous.Instead of showing appreciation for contributing time and human resources for a good voluntary job done for Mother Ghana, NPP Minority in Parliament is at it again. NPP would have preferred the situation degenerating into a catastrophic dimension in future so that the can point accusing fingers in their usual pattern to the NDC gov't.
The said equipments which were to be deployed to Municipal and District Assemblies of which Accra Municipal Assembly was used voluntarily by Ibrahim Mahama's company when the Ministry of Local Government and AMA approached the Company for assistance.
Akuffo Addo was alleged to have used State cars even when he was out of office and yet have not been called by the Minority in parliament to make any payment. ex-President Kuffour was likewise alleged to have used State funds to renovate his private residence. How about that compared the use of State machinery my a private company to discharge voluntary service?

This is not a majority opinion,they are the same comments coming from about 3 people with different names. Have you forgotten what criminals can do? Ndc party is not a political party but a criminal organisation hence they hate the truth. Where is Martin Amidu? Ibrahim Mahama can't do nothing for Ghana for free on what grounds did he choose to work for free? Woyome didn't have any contract with the government of Ghana but ndc defended this guy that he did have a contract which the Supreme Court later found it to be sham, how can you be in a country and you be have this way? Why are you people thieves beyond description like that? Don't you feel ashamed when your people are caught in that? How can you live without shame? The disgrace is too much and you need to be ashamed and change your life else there will be a time you can't associate with anyone in Ghana and you will feel isolated, is that how you want your lives?

Is Ibrahim Mahama tellings us that,just the labor cost,not including equipment and fuel for this projects in his kulukulu maths is worth, 150million cedis?

Using an average exchange rate of 1$=4ghc, this comes out to be 37.5million DOLLARS.Yes, dollars!

I am not in the least surprised that even adolescent university students are kicking their backsides, and running them out of Parliament.
The funny part of it all, is the fact that some amongst them, are working behind the scene, to cut deals or fraudulently extort huge sums of monies from private companies or individuals, who want to do business with state institutions.

All the machinery parts in those newly procured heavy duty equipment using over 27 million Euros approved by Ghana's parliament, have been replaced with the old from the purported fleet of equipment from Ibrahim Mahama.
So in effect, Ibrahim Mahama's fleet are now brand new overhauled heavy duty equipment and the newly procured equipment are literally on the verge of being de-commissioned.
Those new equipment are to all intents and purposes obsolete, old and useless.
Checks can be done and these suspicions will be confirmed and I can bet my last pesewa on it.

Are Ghanaians this STUPID? What happened to PWD or Public Works departments. What a country?What about the metropolitan Assemblys?

What is Ghana Army doing?. Why ignore all these state institutions and give a freshly bought state owned equipments with borrowed fund in the turn of (&30million) to the President's brother's Minining company with the excuse of being the only person in the country to do this work.Really? The whole of Ghana?Just a simple job like dredging a river? And we call ourselves a country and a people to be taken serious?
( A huge conflict of interest) all in the name of he's doing it for free or helping Ghana.And you have ministers and assembly heads defending this at the expense of tax payers. Why dont Ghanaians also make him your president like his brother,it seems they're the only ones you lot believe can do anything in Ghana. Unbelievable! And most of the empty heads here are defending this nonsense!

Is he the only person in the Country to do this work? Where are all the State Agencies? Is this the first time Ghana has been flooded?And some ingnorant fools have the nieve to be questioning the minority MP ASKING the most obvious questions.

It would be recalled it was such similar schemes that led to Merchant Bank biting the dust and was looted for a song by the John Mahama-Tony Litor-Ibrahim Mahama axis of corruption in the most infamous "let's maintain the status quo ante" statement.
Before Ghanaians could say jack, Merchant Bank had been looted.
A similar tactic clearly was at play here with John Dramani Mahama issuing orders and instructing the Chief of Staff to instruct the Local gov't ministry to release those equipment to Ibrahim Mahama.
But for the vigilance of the opposition NPP and Ghanaians including the media, those branded heavy duty equipment were on their way to a screaming loot by Ibrahim Mahama under the John Mahama NDC policy of everything thievery.

Next time NPP is in Govt they'll repeat the same thing with friends and cronies in other Govt operations,and then, the same NDC people here praising this will be screaming and up and arms. This is why i maintain, Ibrahim has no business doing this except there's was some ulterior motives till alarm blowed.We have state institutions with ten's if not 100's of paid civil and construction engineers on payroll. Why cant they do this? What about the Army? This is what we should be discussing,and making making sure the state have well trained and adequate personnel to handle such situations anytime they happen, because disaster will surely happen.Will we always look to Ibrahim to bail the country? Makes no sense. I refuse to believe he;s the his company is the only company in Ghana to do this. No Ghana agencies has the requisite experience to operate these machines?

But i guess,neurosurgeons are right after all, the world FREE releases some serious dopamine in the human mind especially the african one.

Thios is why marketer advertise buy one can one free even though you're paying for two. Ghana's just love free..what is free here?Nothing to me, if anything,we're admitting as a country we lack the expertees to dredge is small pathway..

What we're indirectly admitting that, for a nation of 26 million with an Army/Navy/Police force and what institutions,none of them are experienced enough to undertake such a simple operation. That tells a lot about the nation Ghana. What a disgrace. And we have a ministry called NADMO or whatever with millions in budget? gEEZ... i give up!

Why can't the president separate the presidency from family and business because of the thin line that separates truth and fiction? These things are easily avoidable so the president for his own sake should not be courting controversy. It's not for nothing that the names of both the president and his brother have come to be associated with shady deals, for example this current dredging equipment rigmarole and the bank sale. Please Mr President if you have no respect for the office then you don't deserve to be occupying the nation's topmost office. Your life should be an open book. Never leave Ghanaians guessing because we can be wrong sometimes. From my observatory far away it appears since your entry into national politics after your controversial"First Coup D'Etat you have relished living on the edge, just feeding on controversy.

Had the government paid Ibrahim for services provided or had Ibrahim used the state equipment to do his private project,the Minority's demand would have carried some credibility.
Taking the facts into perspective, all that has been done by E&P could be said to have been done by the Ministry of Local Government. Even though E&P operated government equipment, the job accomplished was for the Ministry of Local Government. One wonders if it is not rather the State that should be thanking E&P for a doing a good job: dredging the Odaw River.
If you had a fleet of cars and a volunteer provided his company's drivers to drive them without a fee but brought you all the proceeds, unless you are so naive, it is you who should be thanking such a volunteer. For you to be asking him to pay you so that you can buy new vehicles shows that the bolt in you brain must have broken.
The Minority's vow to find fault with anything Government does exposes them to public ridicule if the Government has done a good job.

So, the president took the state property and put his company's name on it for accountability. Even the inmates of Accra Psychiatric Hospital will slap you when you tell them this nonsense. Why was there no contract and no agreement before the equipment was released? Remember, Woyome had no agreement but was paid?

The same Metropolitan Assembly,EPA,Accra residents,NDC GOVT,knowing very well THIS government and nation is incapable of dredging simple path allows citizens to dump thrash into it,wiTH all its enviromental AND HEALTH hazards unconcerned,yet you're here defending the same people in charge who ignored their responsibility OF preventing this from happening in the first place,when they knew very well we have no expertise in the WHOLE country to dredge it... C'mon Ghanaians. Are you folks serious? Didn't you all know throwing thrash all over your capital and shitting in your rivers have serious consequences in medium/heavy rain falls.
The same president and mayor who all lives in Accra and know this each year ignored this dangerous and very predicted enviromental disaster, till it actually happened, not to mention with some innocent ghanaians losing their lifes and livinghood,and you guys are saying its all worth it because of free labor? geez, i give up on ghanaians!

There will always be a curse to the NPP MP'S and NPP government just as they left Ghana dusty, uncompleted roads, cities' streets and fly-overs in 2008. After the heavy flooding in which so many Ghanaians died what is wrong with private firm using the state's equipment for the dredging of the river to save life. Can the so-called opposition leader testify whether the private company hire or paid for the work the equipment did. Useless NPP which always speak without substance.

Ashantis should stop hiding behind the NPP party with their selfish and retrogressive attitude towards every good thing in Ghana. Why draging this matter till now when the whole nation saw the inferno that happened at the Nkrumah circle, and the help Ibrahim Mahama's company gave to support the work needed to desilt the lagoon?

Why are the NPP Ashanti minded party with only mentality of draging matters coming out again to spoil the waters? Have they failed with their foolish demand of new voters register issue, and they are now chasing Mahama for the good he did for us all? Put foolish and stupid politics aside and face the reality of the whole help the man gave.

Where was the help that the NPP offered to desilt the lagoon during that period? This character of foolishly draging matters is typical Ashanti mentality which create confusion in a nation. They did the same during Nkrumah's time, and even to the extent of creating tension with their MATEMEHO syndrome.

Why do they like to spoil everything everytime? Are they cursed because they killed innocent people for their dead chiefs in the past? Of course YES, that's why they only support negative things, a sign of curse in reality. Yes, nothing good comes out of Ashanti region!!!What do people get when they killed innocent people? They get curse from God, so what do you think now?

I think that the president is not principled otherwise why should his brother be the one to handle this job?didnt he or E&P think of conflict of interest?you see Ibrahim has just shot himself in the foot,this one benevolent gesture he claimed to ve done for free ll hunt him for a very long time,he should not listen to those encouraging him today because they re the same people who ll give him out tomorrow.I didn't understand why Nana Kunadu Agyman Rawlings who was better placed to buy any land to put up her factory but decided to buy Nsawam cannery and other state assets making nonsense of the principles of her husband when he took over the affairs of the state,dough she survived it,this one move made them lose lots of respect from well meaning Ghanains.Ibrahim Mahama can explain to higher to the moon but there's no way he can fight this case in future,today all the ministers and ndc members who re defending you re only doing so because your brother president Mahama has given them jobs,ask yourself what they did for you when president Mills was incharge?ve you so soon forgotten the Ahois sidelined you because they were interested in the presidency and didn't want to give you constructs in other that you make money to support Mahama?again we still remember the statement John Mahama issued regarding how you were being treated in the party,now you decide what job to do for money and for free?Nii Lantey Vandapoye can not defend you when the ndc loses power,just think about this I rest my case.

This is how far we've gotten in modern civilization and democratic governance.Mr. Mahama has no contract with government but he clearly detailed the part he had to play.That was not in writing. Then the vehicles were also handed to him, he painted his company's name on them.That was also not written down, just like begging tomatoes from your neighbor's backyard farm!
Mr Mahama should know that when a company donates something. ..in this case services to an institution, organization or government, it is costed and the cost is written off as donation when filing income tax end of the year.So those vehicles should have been rented to you.You pay for it.You cost the entire project (free service ) and at the end of the year, your donation to government ( rental vehicle /services) would be written off.
How much taxes did Mr. Mahama's company pay last year to government. I doubt if the president's brother pay any taxes at all. ...if government property can just be handed over to him without any "contract"
So what do public office holders actually do in this country? We have a whole GIMPA.Many "graduates " have come out of this institution, yet we do official government business as my great grandfather used to run his cocoa farms.Or it is just a cover-up.Shoes for the children, "something " for school girls , bicycle training for "northern boys,garbage bins for cape coast, guinea fowl farms in the north and this time vehicles for my brother. .how about "whisky for my men and beer for the horses...OMG
