  Read the article more carefully. It is NOT 'a lousy difference of 300k'. It is because of a careless readership that theft on a massive scale goes unpunished.

  Without investigation of the difference, we can't tell whether funds have been stolen or not. For one reason or another, budgets can be over or understated so for instance because the Ameri contract was grossly overstated, it will allow the minister to come under budget and still steal hundreds of millions.
  Budgets are based on estimates for future expenditure, so unless a contract is signed with a contractor who is going to pick up the difference in costs, there's likely to be a difference.
  Haven't said all this, we all know ndc are thieves.

  “O you who have believed, do not ask about things which, if they are shown to you, will distress you….A people asked such before you; then they became thereby disbelievers.” (Qur’an 5:101-102)
  
  Such a passage hardly inculcates a spirit of free inquiry and intellectual curiosity. And this is the wave of the future: since the Western government and media elites are now dedicated to avoiding offending Muslims at all costs, and even asking theological questions can offend Muslims, we all just must accept the dictates of our new overlords without question. Wan Sulaiman Wan Ismail should have known better.
  “For seeking answers on Islam, Muslim gets charged with blasphemy,” by Zurairi Ar, Malay Mail Online, May 29, 2015:
  KUALA LUMPUR, May 29 — “I bear witness that there is no god but Allah,” is the first part of the shahadah, a declaration of faith for Muslims, which has its origins in a verse in the Quran.
  “I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God,” is the second part, but unlike the first, it does not appear in any of the holy scriptures.
  So, where did it come from?
  This was the question on the mind of Wan Sulaiman Wan Ismail, 53, when he sought clarification in 2013 from religious teachers on the origin of a practice considered as one of the key pillars of Islam.
  The former businessman from Perak said he raised that question to several religious teachers, including scholars in the Ipoh mufti office, the Perak religious authorities and even state mosque imams. Many of these clerics, he said, were familiar with him as he met with them regularly for the past 15 years.
  None, however, were able to answer him, so Wan Sulaiman stopped asking a year later.
  But for seeking answers, Wan Sulaiman earned the attention of the Perak Islamic Religious Department (JAIP). He was summoned several times in 2014 by the authority, whose officers he claimed tried to dissuade him from posing his questions and to convince him to abandon several Quranic practices he has adopted.
  The matter came to a head on January 21 this year when state religious enforcers raided his home in Ipoh and confiscated his handwritten personal notes, in addition to screening his personal computer and mobile phone.
  On the same day, Wan Sulaiman was charged in the Ipoh Shariah High Court under Section 15 of the Perak Shariah Criminal Enactment 1992, with “mocking, ridiculing or insulting Quranic or hadith texts”.
  According to a copy of his charge sheet sighted by Malay Mail Online, the Perak religious enforcers claimed that Wan Sulaiman possessed notes, some of which were hung on his wall, that allegedly “ridicule” the hadith — the collections of Prophet Muhammad’s sayings and deeds.
  Wan Sulaiman, however, insisted that the notes were meant only for his personal use.
  The prosecution also accused him of disputing authentic hadith for failing to interpret the Quran, and of rejecting the shahadah as taught by Muhammad by allegedly only accepting the first part.
  He was also accused of translating the terms “fajar prayers” and “wusto prayers” by “using his own intellect without referring to the Prophet’s hadith”.
  His case was set to be heard on May 21, but it was postponed to July 2. If guilty, Wan Sulaiman can be fined not more than RM5,000, jailed not more than three years, or both….

  The park , even for $4.4 is cheap judging from how it is benefitting Kumasi in terms of tourist and revenue for KMA. There is too much backbiting and skin pain in KMA with all these NPP Assembly members. Today it is Antoa, tomorrow it is Rattary park, the next day it's demonstration at Kejetia, all because of enviness against Kojo Bonsu. The one that God has bless, no one can touch.

  Obviously, this is the work of some disgruntled KMA, who were sanctioned by Bonsu, looking for revenge. They are clandestinely plotting to discredit Bonsu after all the good works but will not succeed. The rot in KMA was cleared when Bonsu took over less than four years ago. The wanton dissipation of KMA funds and diversion of funds to private accounts have been curtailed, if not eliminated. Stolen monies used in fornication and committing adultery by some officers have stopped.
