    The false veil of honesty surrounding the president is unravelling rapidly. And all it took was a car, a car he definitely did not need. God is great.

    Ghanaians are not confused, they believe and trust J.M and not Nana Addo or the NPP. Under Nana Akufo-Addo's watch as the Attorney General, three NPP women from Dzorwulu, were caught trying to smuggle narcotics out of the cou ...

    The journalist is not credible! I think conspiracy in this whole nonsense issue. I do think the contractor is part of the scheme. ANAS will not do such bias, unethical work. JM should be praised.

    What more shameful than Maham's conduct. Agbenyo must rather wear his proper conscience and stop selling it to satisfy his stomach. He must know that the whole world is following this "Fordgate" scandal to check how developed ...

    Bribe is not taken in the open. JM has shown leadership by making the gift a public asset. What about you who accepted it in secret?

    Nothing wrong with JM meeting the contractor. Presidents meet woos in investors, contractors, etc to develop the country.
