  That's African leadership for you. They will always find a way to steal and plunder the nations scarce resource. Seth, you should be ashamed of yourself.

  Ndc voters and leadership think support for a political party simply means DO-ME-I-DO-YOU...But this is sheer stupidity of the highest level bcos its Ghana that ends up the loser and our kids who even end up the worst losers bcos we are totally destroying their future.......after failing to prove alleged npp malfeasance since ndc assumed power, all ndc has been doing is to use these allegation as basis to embark on serious thievery upon thievery with cronies and family members duping the state and destroying our economy the present state where one dollar which used to be 1.12 ghc in 2008 is now miserably one dollar to 4.0 ghc.....and all this while ndc has managed to throw dust into people’s eyes by claiming the ghc is weak bcos of imports exceeding exports.....such a preposterous reason, very very very preposterous indeed.......and the situation is worsened by their voters in the north and volta who are so so so poor and yet so so so gullible who continue to trust in ndc despite clear cases of thievery and plundering of state resource thro avenues like SADA SUBAH, GYEEDA AZUNTABA, RLG-NDC-ZOOMLION-COLLUSION to destroy our economy just to line their pockets with the stolen cash and live good abroad with their families.....it will only take a people with very evil minds to dole out over one billion dollars in dubious jdgt detbs to friends and cronies in order to share the loot EVEN THO THE VERY STRONGHOLDS OF NDC CONTINUE TO BE SO EXCRUCIATINGLY POOR ..........SO POOR THAT THEY ENGAGE IN VIRTUAL SLAVERY RIGHT HERE IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY AS KAYAYES AND TROKOSIS and we are shown daily videos of their kids lying on their tummies in poor dilapidated schools to learn and write simply bcos of lack of furniture........ndc govt overspent state budget by 8.7 bn ghc in 2012 just for mahama to win elections, and this was the last straw which broke the camel’s back as our ghc declined and has kept on declining ever since then...........bloated contract budgets and sole contracts awards have now become a channel to pay out outrageous amounts to cronies just for ndc to later share the loot...........huge monies dubiously paid to rlg, zoomlion, for no work done etc are yet to be retrieved without interest despite the continued destruction and weakening of our economy......DESPITE ALL THESE, WE STILL HAVE NDC PROUDLY PREDICTING A ONE TOUCH WIN FOR NDC in the 2016 elections...........and their gullible miserable strongholds are seen daily endorsing this criminal gang of thieves who didn’t even have an office till they came to power in 2008 and built a 20 million dollars mansion for a headoffice after duping the state big time thro fake jdgt debts........THE SUFFERING CONTINUES TILL GHANA HAS LEARNT ITS BITTER LESSONS THAT SUPPORTING POLITICAL PARTIES ISNT LIKE SUPPORTING HEARTS OR KOTOKO OR OLYMPICS WHETHER THEY WIN OR LOSE......we support parties to build a nation and ensure security and improve living standards for us all BUT NOT TO COME AND STEAL AND STEAL AND STEAL LIKE NDC IS DOING NOW....NOW DUMSOR IS OUR PORTION BCOS OF NDC THIEVERY..........ide biiiiii kekekekekekekeeeee........

  Why must the IMF put a noose round our neck? As a developing country we need to borrow to develop and hopefully bridge the gap. Do you expect the government not to pay workers or stop all development? When the west are in financial trouble they engage in Quantitative Easing. That is to say they print money. We need flexibility to borrow and not Zero %.

  I'm not an economist but Most western countries are in a very different situation than Ghana. They go to 'quantitative easing' when the central bank can no longer reduce interest rates (i.e. they are close to zero) and inflation is very low. Ghana has a high borrowing and inflation rate. Adding more money into the economy will only exacerbate inflation and borrowing rates.
  
  The government needs money to buy the next election and they will are willing to throw away the future to win today.

  Whoever wrote this is a very dumb, I have heard several minority MPs with inclination in Economics & Finance argue against zero financing by BOG. Several neutrals are against it, don't pin this on the minister

  Where is the outwitting this article seems to portray?.Ghana has just broken an agreement with IMF and people think it is a smart move.Ghana is eventually going to pay for it.Even a layman could have seen that zero financing from Bank of Ghana as agreed during negotiations with the IMF was very stupid.It is rather sad that some people see this move by parliament as smart.The Germans realised long ago that the Ghanaian is not to trust even under oath.He can place his hand on the Bible or Koran and lye.
