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 can Mahama fight for corruption? Are we fools, Ghanaians? Do not trust him. Is he not the one that encourage the Judges to become so corrupt?

Saying you'll continue to fight corruption is one thing, but not taking action against corrupt people means your words are futile.

With all due respect, President Mahama should and must resign.
It appears he has failed Ghana. Mahama's presidency has been rocked with corruption from Woyome to GYEEDA.
Power crisis from three years ago is still not resolved.
Strikes are common thing in Ghana, who wants to go to work and not get paid.
President Mahama might be a good person, but not a presidential.
The NPP has Nana Akufo-Addo and capable men and women to fix the economy,the power crisis and get Ghana moving the right direction.

It may be better for Ghanaians if this Chief Corruption Officer stops talking about corruption altogether. Mahama, you and your brother are a pair of rogues.

The only way to beat corruption is to chase away those born corrupt! Close down Kumasi and send those ashanti to a mass education camp. Proscribe NPP and lock away their leaders.

Whenever I see this nincompoop jon Fool Maaaaama, I vomit, expecially when he touches on corruption. The man himself is the biggest corrupt individual in Ghana. How dare he talks about corruption. Whey did NDC create Gyeeda? Why did NDC make Subah? Why did NDC manufacture Sada and above all why did Ofiu Gyato Aboakwa lobby Martin Amidu, inducing Betty Mould Idrissu to steal as much as 51.2 million Ghana Cedis to Woyome for them to share among themselves? NDC is acting like Alibaba and the forty thieves. Jon thief Maaaama is Ali Baba and his party is the bunch of theives. It is known worldwide the NDC came only to setal, kill and destroy all the good programs instituted by NPP. Jon Maaama is a fool and he continues to be a fool because he himself is corrupt. How could a thief apprehend another thief expecially when his is an accomplice. Jon Maaama is a thief and a thief and an idiot.

Ghanaians will only take President Mahama serious in his fight against corruption if he is able to stop the Police from collecting ONE-ONE CEDIS from trotro and taxi drivers.
Come to the Kumasi Metropolis and see things for yourself.At 4.30am the police are placed at every corner of the street just to extort money from commercial drivers. Why should the society allow this to go on unchallenged?
Why has the President kept quiet over this corruption being perpetrated by the police. We should stop the police from this shameful and unprofessional behaviour. This is unimaginable for policemen and policewomen to openly collect money from commercial drivers at dawn from 4.30am to 5.30am and go back to the barracks to share the booty.President Mahama, please stop this canker once and for all. The police leadership are all involved and cannot be trusted.Wake up Mr President.

Dear president J Mahama, to eradicate corruption in Ghana you must first propose a bill to parliament to abolish the ex-gratia system, to abolish the situation where MP's are giving loans for cars, also to do away with MP's being accommodated at the dime of the government, to abolish the system where an MP can also be appointed as a minister.
I f you really think about this it is not fair and very undemocratic in a poor country of our to be saddled with such huge fiscal burden. No western democratic nation practices this pilfering.
When it comes to the revenue problem I don't think Ghana has a revenue problem. The tax regime needs reform and it has to be fair and uniform. I t doesn't have to be like a changing goal post where there is different rate cut throat rate for Kojo and a whole sweet deal rate for Kwasi.
the import duties have to be a straight forward piece of information that could be understood by the class 5 pupil and also creat a one time shop where importers can go and be out in 20 minutes with all the necessary paperwork and payments receipts to clear their ware. This simple practice will eliminate and do away with the bottlenecks that impinge the flow of services at government institutions like the shipping harbour and other ports and entry points.
Also with the government sector most of the services could be divested to private companies to alleviate the cumbersome payroll challenges that government faces because of over bloated workforce which needs to be retrenched and redundant.
This is how the revenue will meet the set target.
In the energy sector many Ghanaians are willing to bring in their own solar panels and power generating devices if your government comes up with a credible effective energy policy which would not punish but rather encourage individuals to bring such things to Ghana tax free to power their own homes and industries. Your energy policy is lacking innovation and vision. It has to revenue free policy which will attract foreign investors as well because the power generated when sold will be taxed for revenue.
Hope this few point make it to his Excellency Mr. John Mahama
