  Ghana’s President Hurls Insults At Obasanjo At African Forum In London - bloomberg
  
  There was near pandemonium and confusion at the Annual Global African Investment Forum held in Westminster, Central London after a heated exchange between Ghana’s President John Mahama and former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo degenerated into open insults.This was due to General Obasanjo openly accusing the Ghanaian president and his government of blackmailing and collecting bribes from Nigerian businessmen in Ghana, buying numerous properties in Nigeria and South Africa and financially contributing 12 million dollars to Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign last year. This infuriated

  The middlemen are planted in the process as conduits via which dubious commissions and fees could be milked off the Loan into private pockets, ostensibly, associated with the Government. Period!
  
  Most of these middlemen in these financial processes did not even already exist as viable business entities. If they did even exist as financial companies or consultants way ahead of such loan acquisitions, one might have reason to give them the benefit of doubt as just performing their duties in the larger realm of the system.
  
  But many of these middlemen just pop up out of the blue. That is not to say we should expect the trend to change with the use or any other such existing financial businesses to act as middlemen in the Nation's attempt to acquire Loans. Ghana does not need and should not use any such entities for that role. Period!
  
  Long Live Ghana!!!

  I AM ASHAMED AT THE LOW LEVEL AND CALIBER OF THE MINISTERS ( NOT ALL THOUGH BUT MAJORITY) WE HAVE UNDER MAHAMA GOVT. THEY DO NOT SEEM TO CARRY THE CLOUT THAT MINISTERS OF GHANA MUST HAVE.I AGREE WITH KB THAT WE DO NOT NEED MIDDLEMEN FOR GOVT BUSINESS. BUT THIS HAPPENS BCOS GOVT AND OFFICIALS WANT KICK BACKS, INDEED THE CIVIL SERVANTS ARE NOW WORSE THAN THE MINISTERS BECAUSE THEY GIVE THE MINISTERS WAYS AND MEANS TO PUSH IN AND APPROVE THESE KICK BACKS, OTHERWISE WHY SHOULD A DIRECTOR OF A MINISTRY ALLOW 51MILLION CEDIS VOUCHER TO BE SIGNED AND PASSED ON FOR PAYMENT TO ONE INDIVIDUAL WHEN THE WHOLE TRANSACTION IS SO WRONG AND
  SO DUBIOUS. THE WHOLE MINISTRY TOP STAFF INVOLED MUST BE SACKED!

  Dr Asante, you are right. The is no reason why government should continue to use middlemen to obtain loans. this practice should be discouraged and abolished. Governmen know where to get loans from, so naturaly, the govt should use middlemen at all. Dr ASANTE, where is your former colleague Ms Erica Powell ? She was secretary to Dr Kwame Nkrumah.

  All the loans Mahama has contracted has 'arranger's fees; ie for middlemen. KB Asante must be bold to condemn Mahama government for these kickback- prone things. He must stop the gveneraslisations. Woyome attempted to pull a fast one on Kufuor and it did not work. That why the arrangement was curtailed since Woyome could not fulfil the conditions precedent.
  Let Mahama /Mills carry their stinking burdens alone KB Asante. KB are yu a coward?>

  Your mind and level of experience is Mahama, the only one you see in your mind because of political and tribal bigotry that drives you. Nii Okai's piece could help you to know of the other side too

  The NPP guys namely Kufour, Kwadjo Mpiani, O. B. Amoah, Osafo Marfo and others were aware that it was not good to bring individuals in for loans for government. They brought Woyome in for all the mess we are going through but because the foolishness of Ghanaians is too much and they are primitive in politics so nobody is talking about the mess the NPP used Woyome to creat for all of us today. Today the NPP behave like they know nothing about this mess they created
  
  It also happened in the early years of the same Kufour NPP government that they recruited Asntehene to go for a loan for Ghana. A policy which is not the best for a nation. All this primitivity came into the system because of the primitive way Ashantes see national issues. They see national matters like village matters hence they have caused confusion in Ghana in every thing they involve themselves in.
  
  The saddest thing about the Ashantes is that they even do not know their faults when they create one thus they have become an embarassement to Ghana in both outside the nation and within. This is a real fact but the question is could they study to know or they would easily choose to argue yet they continue with the same behaviour daily.
