PAULO, SOMETIMES I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS BLAME GAME. FORGET POLITICS, DO YOU KNOW WHY AMBASSADORS ARE ADDRESSED SAME AS PRESIDENTS/ BECAUSE THEY ARE HEADS OF THE COUNTRIES THEY REPRESENT DIRECTLY AS THE PRESIDENT. DOES ANY PRESIDENT SEND REPRESENTATIVES TO OTHER COUNTRIES TO STEAL? THE PRESIDENT IS THE HEAD, OTHER PERSONS ARE DELEGATED TO WORK ON BEHALF OF THE PRESIDENT AND THE COUNTRY, AND THEY STEAL AND YOU BLAME THE HEAD, THAT IS WHY THEY GO ON STEALING, BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY WILL NOT BE BLAME! THEY THE THE THIEVES OUGHT TO BE PROSECUTED? LET US CALL ALL PERSONS GIVEN RESPONSIBLITIES TO ORDER.

This has been happening in our missions over the years. It's good that these things are comoing out now. This means that something good is happening now so that we can take a holistic view of happenings in our foreign missions and deal with the loop holes that enable personnel in these missions to acquire undeserved wealth. Check and see the lifestyles and assets acquired by such people and you would know that this is an age-old problem that we pretended not to see over so many decades. These people must be dealt with severely. Remember the embassy renovation issue under the foreign ministry during the Kuffuor administration? Opana was directly incharge and nothing nothing was done about it. This is the time to act, and I am happy the ministry has decided to deal with it. Cheers folks!!!!!!

Who promised you that Mahama is going to do something about this? Is this the first time you're hearing about thievery in this Mahama NDC administration? Mahama and NDC Party are obese with Corruption so don't deceive yourself that something is going to happen just because this thievery has been reported.This man could be transferred to another mission to continue his thievery operations.

MAHAMAH WILL AGAIN TRY HIS BEST TO SET THESE THIEVES FREE. HE IS ALWAYS AFRAID TO PUNISH HIS APPOITEES WHO STILL, BECAUSE HE HIMSELF IS A BIG THIEF, AND HE IS AFRAID HE MAY BE MENTIONED IN MANY OF THE CREAT LOOT AND SHARE THAT IS GOING ON. THIS WAY NDC MEMBERS DESCRIBE HIM AS BEING A NICE PERSON. MILKING YOUR COUNTRY DRY WITH YOUR COHORTS MAKES YOU A NICE PERSON IN THE EYES OF THOSE WHO BENEFIT FROM THE LOOT. THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE.

Mahama found it convenient to order the posting of trainee nurses from his native Gonja tribe to newly constructed health posts dotted across his native Gonjaland whilst neglecting those from other parts of Ghana. He even sidelined the Lobis(Brefos) within the same region and Gonja districts. All these Mahama is doing to carve out a separate region from the present Northern Region for Gonjas. With this wicked agenda by Mahama, how can Ghana develop under his presidency.
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.

One would naturally be concerned if this was something new to have to worry about, this is normal, happens all the time in most of the Foreign Affairs missions abroad. What happens in most of our foreign embassies dotted around the world bear similar end results. Now, such administration becomes even much more complex if you leave the charge to those NDC politicians - we know what they're capable of when it comes to demand of accountability of public assets.
