Ghanaians are hypocrites. When Thief Panama Kufuor bought the gold chains, they saw nothing wrong, when Kuffuor was requesting houses and billions of cedis as retirement package, they saw nothing wrong, when parliament was requesting for super monster ex gratia, nothing was wrong but if BOG asks for wrist watches, heaven breaks lose.

AUTHOR: CLOSE OBSERVER-------- Stupid people are dominating our leadership positions. NDC does not believe that Ghanaians are suffering. Ghanaians will therefore not see the end of their problems until the USELESS NDC government is voted out in 2016. JOHN MAHAMA DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING AT THE PRESIDENCY. HE IS JUST CELEBRATING HIS POSITION LIKE AN AFRICAN MOVIE ACTOR. VOTE HIM AND HIS MEDIOCRE NDC GOVERNMENT OUT IN 2016. NDC NOW WANT MONEY FOR THEIR DIRTY POLITICAL CAMPAIGN, HENCE THE PRICE HIKE

Thieves were caught this time. So much stealing is going on without our knowledge. How many more deals like this are going on? NDC are crazy.

I thought the BOG said they buy these watches 2 years in advance to save money? And that this is a long standing tradition they have been doing since 2012? I can't think far ...

IN GHANA, WHEN PEOPLE ARE CAUGHT WITH THEIR HANDS IN THE COOKIE JAR, THEY CLAIM IT IS EITHER JUST A PROPOSAL OR "JUST THINKING A LOUD." WHEN THE ECs NEW LOGO LEAKED OUT, THEY CLAIMED IT WAS ONLY A PROPOSAL, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS ALREADY ON ALL THEIR STATIONARY. LIAR, LIAR, YOUR PANTS ON FIRE!

This is not a stealing issue, the bank of Ghana is an autonomous institution, it was it executives that decided to show gratitude to their workers who have worked with them for like thirty years. This end of service benefit has existed in the 70's. Though the gold thing looks absurd. It has nothing to do with current government. Let's clear the air.

It's good that you've back off. To stop Purchase of those WATCHES can sum up as COMONSENSE. It's good for the position you've taken. No more WAR.

BOG. Why this flip flopping? You are either standing by your position or shut up. The more u talk in the public space the more u murky the waters. What is the crime for buying gold watches for deserving staff who have worked all their life's to bring the bank to this level. Don't government institutions award deserving retiring staff every time. We see it on TV. So why can't the bank defend it's actions? Is it because it is a gold watch or the amount involved? The banks PR is bogus . The retired governor made a lot of sense when he defended this issue than what the PR is doing. They should just shut up. If the order hasn't been made is it going to be withdrawn? Is it the case that the bank is accepting that it has done the wrong thing all these years?

Gifts like this, at retirement are not unusual. But I wonder what kind of idiot you have to be to think that this also normal and should be done in a developing country with a largely poor population and behave like it's normal. Under what stone or which closed community have you been living, how could you have driven home without seeing the world we live in?

What was the first reaction of the Bank when the news came out. You are doing a face saving.

Whether it's a proposal or not it's still wrong when the masses are suffering. AFRC military junta will kill all of you if they are in power today

Why is the BOG chickening out of the awards? They should ignore the ignorant rabble who are making noises about it and proceed with acquiring the gold watches for the deserving staff.
