Where are those Ndc idiot supporters who xorships Ndc first before Mother Ghana? Those stupid chiefs and queens who hails Mahama in his foolish Accounting tours. Are ghanaians labelled beggars forever?Mahama is a kleptoman who steals every pesewa for himself and his Ndc. The indices are clear. Where did he promise to borrow to develope this country? Where do the production of our oil money go? Dr. Bawumia is right . Only fools have ears for lies from Mahama our curse, and NDC.

Putting president and ex-presidents pictures on buses for GH3.1 million cedis when children are learning under trees. Putting a Euro-bond contracted $250 million money with 10.57% interest to be paid by the government of Ghana in a private bank that will be used by the bank to buy Government treasury bills with a 24.5% interest that will again be paid by the government (the people of Ghana).

UBA is owned by the Federal Government of Nigeria and so if Tekper wishes to invest Ghana Government's money why did he choose UBA over GCB, ADB or NIB which are Ghana Government owned.
Is Tekper patriotic at all? Indeed, we have vagabonds in power. Mahama and the NDC are ready to sell Ghana to foreigners for their own gain. UBA was born out of patriotism. UBA used to be a British owned bank but the Federal Government of Nigeria nationalised it to become a fully owned bank of Nigeria because of patriotism. Tekper should have also been driven by patriotism to hand this juicy investment to Ghana Government owned banks, especially,when the motive is to invest in a Ghana Government treasury bills. In legal form, UBA is registered in Ghana but the substance of the Matter is that any profit made will be repatriated to Nigeria with lightening speed and Ghana will be back to square one notwithstanding the inflationary and exchange rate implications that will follow suit.
May God help mother Ghana.

First of all it has just been reported that Ghana's tap water contains algae toxins making it undrinkable. Secondly we are not getting value for money since a chunk of monies borrowed end up in individuals pockets. Thirdly the costs of the said projects are astronomically inflated so much so that i prefer calling them "gari" quotes. A case in kind is the Kumasi airport. Just a runway costing $23 million, whereas a similar amount built three new airports somewhere. Government is not just borrowing to put up infrastructure else every fool could rule a country but "kwasea bi nti" we have a government that is ignorant of governance. All it does best is creating, looting and sharing, thereby putting square pegs in round holes.

I am surprised by the sheer ignorance and lack of knowledge by most of those who contribute to the platform. How educated people will allow desperate politicians to hoodwink them into believing what he the politician knows to be a lie just for political expediency beats my mind. Bawumia is on record to have said that the government has borrowed $37 billion when the truth is that the total national debt is $26.3 using the prevailing exchange rate. What a liar, and some idiots believe him. On depositing of the $250 million GIIF in a foreign bank which some of you don't understand, let it be known to you that the NHIS fund is deposited Access Bank. This was done by the Kuffuor government. Go and ask whether Access Bank is Ghanaian owned. It is normal for government funds operated by various entities like the GETFUND, NHIS Fund, and lately the Ghana Infrastructural Investment Fund to be operated from viable privacy banks that have the capacity to pay reasonable interest on them. By the way, the total capitalization of UBA is bigger than those of all Ghanaian banks combined. Please try to educate yourselves and do adequate research before allowing yourselves to be deceived by knowingly lying and desperate politicians.

I bet that is not even near the figure when you add all the ministries and local government debt and wages
Fools we know already... Dr Bawumia said it long ago.... All the arms of government have decided to keep the masses in darkness... If NDC is not voted out... The ppl will not know the worst things they have done n doing
Proverbs 29:2 says: When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan. Mahama, you and your NDC are WICKED. God will punish you

bawumia said Ghc 111 bn so he lied. check out your records I AGREE that ghc 99.9 bn is high

Dr. Bawumia said the country was at $111 billion. So he did get wrong just as always.
This was as at Dec 2015. Bawumia quoted 2016 estimates and by the recent publications we are surely close to Ghc 111bn ( its cedis not dollars)
pls check ur facts well.Bawumia said as at the time he was delivering his speech meaning he was talking of 2016.pls go check well whether he didn't say by the end of 2015 our debt will hit 99 billion.

Prophet Bawumia, thank you. They say he is a liar, disgarce to his family, okro mouth. Now u see that is the truth. Shame to u ndc crooks. Dickheads.
Ghana is doomed, only God can save as now. I think a time will come where Ghana will be sold to pay foreign debt
This is shocking for a country striving to develop amidst corruption and rising debt.
Who ever wrote this article is the most incompetent,lazy writer/journalist.
shame on you lot.No wonder Ghanaians are what they are because you do not research and look for truths before you write.
Dr come for your stone oo we are waiting for the babies with sharp teeth to deny our current debt oo

Aliba and the 40 thievies
Kofi do you have brains or charcoal in your head to write what you spewed as your comments. You have no brain period.
It seems to me Dr.Bawumia is the finance minister, Terkper is missing in the picture and has no idea or clue on what is happening.
SO NOW THE CAT IS OUT AFTER ALL INSULTS THROWN ON DR BAWUMIA'S COMMENTS ABOUT GHANA'S PUBLIC DEBT, CALLING HIM A LIAR. MR BAWUMIA IS A GREAT ECONOMIST.
I think the chickens are now home to roast. So why now. This was vehemently denied in March.
Seth terkper must be careful with these criminals oh ! Atto ahwoe & kwamena ahwoe head the boards of UBA & GIIF respectively ! U see the trail of the 250m dollar loan ?

How much of the money in the public debt ended up in private pockets of public employees? Corruption can account for a substantive share of the public debt.
we are praying for the better ,may God save us from this incompetent governance.
