The mahama govt is so incompetent the cannot even provide passports for their citizens.
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 ...

theives vote for ndc so we dont go to jail Nana beba theives running the country
It appears the NPP running mate knows a bit more than the govt when it comes to the debt issue. Mahama has made Bawumiah the boffin in financial matters when the finance minister has no clue to what is happening!
By governmment figures, every Ghanaian (children, old aged, middle age) owes 3,700,000 cedis. meanwhile most of the borrowed money is in the pockets of Mahama's family and Friends. Why should all pay?
Can someone please break it down so that Ghanaians will know which regime borrowed much n has put Ghana in this mess?
YES ACCEPTED. BUT THE QUESTION IS, ARE DEVELOPMENT GOING ON? ROADS, HOSPITALS GOOD DRINKING WATER BEING PROVIDED,GAS PIPELINES AT ATUABO AND OTHERS? LETS GET THESE STRUCTURES DOWN FIRST AND THEN WE CAN THINK OF HOW WE GONNA F ...

We could have had 3 times the projects that mahama has done with the money he borrowed and the oil money. Instead his brother rlg etc have stolen it all.
Let's all come together n vote out NDC for the benefit of dear Ghana. Much of these monies goes in the pockets party big guys to the neglect of the poorer majority. To curb this, we have to show j.m n his NDC the exit come No ...

We also need to know how much others owe us by way of cocoa, oil, gold etc etc etc exports not yet paid for? Let's also value what infrastructure the money was used for and then strike the difference.
Idiot, before you find out your balance after trade, you take into account what others owe you.
As a matter of fact, all your oil income and some of your cocoa income have been used to secure these loans so nobody owes you ...

Did you actually have the mouth to speak here?
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
Mahama and his thieving gangs took a loan of $40m from the Chinese government to purchase 200 buses. That is to say i bus cost $200000. Therefore we are expecting 200 buses. So far only 116 buses have been delivered. Where a ...

bawumia said Ghc 111 bn so he lied. check out your records I AGREE that ghc 99.9 bn is high
The difference is that your thieving ndc government did not add the gnpc $7 billion loan but that is a loan of the government since gnpc is a government agency.

Mahama, has recently made statements about
Ghana’s public debt stock, the most recent

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.
So just within a year
AMERI - temporary power deal over priced $150 million
METKA- could have saved $750 million over 10 years
UBA - $250 million loss of interest X 8%
And who knows what else is happening what happene ...

Ei Dr Alhaji Bawumia,you are a prophet.Do visit Jerusalem to crown your spiritual efficiency and maturity.You know nkontabook well well
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

The future generation of Ghana will visit the graves of current politician sometime in the distant future when they are dead and gone to ask them why they put Ghana in so much debt.

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 ?
v soon Ghanaians will b taken into slavery cos the huge debt Mahama is bringing.

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.
