Let's Reminisce about d following as GOOD CITIZENRY OF GHANA, not as stagnant political followers embracing political parties on tribal, family political faction, religious, survival exercise on inferiority and superiority complexes, stereotypical analysis, selfish luxurious beneficiary bases n other noisy propaganda.. It straps the nation naked n deprives it of gud leadership.. Let's look at d following 11 economic indicators of Ghana since HE Dr. John Dramani Mahama became president of the Republic of Ghana: *JDM met a public debt(PD) of GHC 35.5 billion... In 2015, it had moved to GHC 97 billion (Negative) *Debt to GDP(2012) was 54%..
In 2015, it had moved to 75% by IMF and 72.9% by Bank of Ghana.. Negative) *Debt servicing (2012) was GHC 3.9 billion.. In 2015, it had moved to GHC 9.5 billion (Negative)* Expenditure(Budget) in 2012 was GHC 20.5 billion.. In 2015, it had moved to GHC 41.2 billion (Negative) *Economic growth in 2012 was 8.7%. In 2015, it had decreased to 3.6% (Negative) *Inflation (2012) was 8.8%.. In 2015, it moved to 19.2%(Negative) *Exchange rate(2012) was GHC 1.88..In 2015, it moved to GHC 3.88(Negative) *Domestic Borrowing (2012) was GHC 7.7 billion.. In 2015, it moved to GHC 53.0 billion (Negative) *Business confidence (2012) was 110 bases +.. In 2015, it had reduced to 93.12 bases (Negative) *GDP (2012) in dollars was $ 48.0 billion.. In 2015, it had reduced to $36.7 billion (Negative). I don't
understand why the infrastructures didn't increase d GDP..
*Budget deficit (2012) was GHC12.1billion ...In 2015, it reduced to GHC 7.2 billion (Positive).. Note dat some workers have not been paid, NHIS, School feeding program, teachers.. If they r paid, it's possible d budget deficit will exceed dat of 2012.. U reminisce about some economic indicators like dis to make your vote expensive n put d politician to work harder.. Please stop following politicians blindly whilst u keep rejoicing in pain cos of "who be the best tribe, religion, region and who b d boss.?" We r killing ourselves..

Kufour was leading the NPP Looting brigade when this happened. Any explanation from Kufour himself or Akufo Addo?

NDC is made up of intellectuals and lawyers who understands and adhere to the laws of the country. It was not written in the Panama that gov't uses taxpayers money to hold shares in those alleged shell company. Ghana is worth leaving; within it are rich resources. NDC cares for the country will never use taxpayers name to hold shares in an unknown companies. What the NDC does is that is to use the taxpayers money to construct new community day SHS in the 10 regions of Ghana

Yes, the company was set up in 2006 by the government of that era and for what purpose if we are to go by the report? I personally don't believe in this latest story since it's a clear figment of somebody's imagination.

But what are Ghanaians doing about the Kufuors whose names are also mentioned by the Panama Papers. It's no secret that former President Kufuor was the most corrupt President in Ghana's history. It's therefore unfortunate that since the news broke out about his family's names being listed in the Panama Papers, including his own wife's, so far no one seems to be doing anything about it to totally expose the extent of their corruption. One should remember that the Panama Papers may be only one source that indicates where the Kufuors' stolen money is hidden. We Ghanaians must therefore do everything in our power to seriously legally challenge the former President and his family to expose them and bring them to book. We must learn from other countries' examples.

Anokwa or whatever you call yourself you have misfired. The investment was made in 2006 according to the story. In 2006 was Mahama the president of Ghana or was NDC in power? Check yourself and come again.
