Lets get facts and too bad if the former first lady was involved in illegal transactions then she will have to answer for it. This cannot be witch hunting since she will get the opportunity to clear her good name.
On the other hand if she abused her position as first lady then non of such publications should deter the govt from doing the needful in bringing all WRONG DOING to book irrespective of who was involved.

Nana, please, be fast. Go after these corrupt family of thieves and looters. Being a former first does not exempt from any legitimate investigations. We know what Ibrahim Mahama and Lordina Mahama were doing during slick John Mahama administration.

If you they have nothing to fear, why should they be afraid? The era of political looting and stealing of state assets with impunity is gone forever. Asiedu Nketia must be ready.

Our good government should allow these NDC thieves and looters to get away with their stolen assets. These people family has contributed nothing to Ghana's development. Why should Ghana allow them to live comfortable on the sweat of hardworking Ghanaians.?

Now, these NDC thieves and looters are trying to erase any footprints on their tracksof looting. Nana, be fast and go after these NDC thieves. They have raped Ghana financially. We don't have sit back and watch them to bluff of their stolen assets.

You have conscience to steal or not to steal. Another person to has conscience to prosecute you Whatever you do in this world, whether you are seen or not, remember that there is a consequence. If Ibrahim Mahama and Lordina Mahama have causes to be investigated, let the government do it. If they found to be looters of state assets, let them face the consequence, irrespective of her first ladyship. We must stamp out political stealing and looting from our political system.

God bless our president, Nana Akuffo Addo.!! God bless Ghana.!!!

Not a single NDC official has ever said Nana Addo's father stole money, you are the only one who is saying this to entertain your mind. Where is your evidence? Go to court if you have any evidence. You also allege he ended up in poor class. You are only making sweeping statement. In any case, if he ended up in bad class, why is he the president of Ghana and you be an excellent graduate who ended up in first class upper nobody knows you. You have not even been an assemblyman before. You are not qualified to supervise Nima or Ashaiman or Chorkor toilet and gutters of Osu. You wish Nana Addo was your father or uncle in your family. Shame on you.
Why do u call everything witch hunting? We are developing a nation and it matters not one's position or level in society once it is found out that former president's wife or his brother has misappropriated funds, they should be giving fair trial in court and if found guilted, be made to repay all moneys or serve time or do both. Is this witch hunting? If anybody is allowed to steal from Ghanaians, what can we get to develop society? And how can Ghana grow? Common sense has eluded you due to your political partisanship and tribal slurs. Go to any good bible based church and confess your sins to God and write your name in that church for God to save your perishing soul.

Nana did not say anywhere that he was going ignore the criminalities of any one. He is not going to leave Mahama untouched because he was a president. That will not make sense. The Dubai hotel case must be probed. Does anyone want NPP not investigate and punish NDC criminals? Silly publication! Mad Mahama should not stay untouched because he was a president. Look around the world, presidents are being tried and jailed. No favouritism. The indemnity clause must also be revoked.

Corruption must be routed out of this country. This bogus piece from Bature is just to stop the investigative organs of state from doing their job. Anybody who has stolen even GHS10,000 of state money must be hUnited and brought to justice. Anybody who has used their position to steal state lands and other properties must be ready to account for their stewardship. Why is it that nobody has mentioned the name of Peter Mahama who is also the brother of Prez Mahama? Those who have stolen money or been involved in corruption must be deeply investigated and prosecuted. All those who ordered SUV'S from Steling automotive, paid with gov't money and changed the ownership, including Fiati himself must be made to account for their actions. All those who got involved in inflating gov't project figures must be dealt with. American, Karpower, SADA, rLG, Asongtaba, Zoom Lion, Suba, Gyeeda, Zeera, Woryome, Waterville, CP, Isofoton, Ebo Barton Oduro, Betty Mould, Ablakwa, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, Ubrahim Mahama, Lordina Mahama, etc. Nana must do the job for which he was elected by Ghanaians....... investigate and prosecute all who have stolen Ghana's money.

Why would any patriotic Ghanaian complain if anyone, NDC,NPP,PNC... is being investigated for possible impropriety? We all keep complaining and claiming after 60 years of independence we have little to be proud about. The #1 reason is CORRUPTION in government. We need to tackle the issue of corruption by the horns. Please allow the process to work and don't politicize it.

Then u guys better start preparing bcus very soon it will get to Mahama himself, over his role in the stinking embraer plane deal he procured for Ghana when he was Veep. A small wall/hanger to house just 2 small planes cost Ghana over $18.5m. sound systems in each of the planes also cost the nation $6.5m. Prof mills was baffled when mahama told him about the deal. out of anger and shock, he instituted an immediate investigations into it to find out those "massacred" Ghana that way,sadly,prof died before anything could come out. when Mahama became prez, we were expecting him to finish the investigations but he had other plans. Thank God we have a new prez who willing to recover that huge cash for Ghana. I want to assure all NDC sympathizers here that, every penny stolen by ur Govt shall be paid back to Ghanaians. including the Billions and Billions of cedis paid in dubious judgment debts to ur people for no work done, and also, huge monies Ghana lost through NDCs scam policies like, gyeeda,saada,subah,isofoton,stl etc etc. every penny Ghana lost through create,loot,steal and share deals shall be recovered. better prepare, cus there's fire coming from above.. the coming months is gonna be very interesting in Gh rough. massa, if u have done an honest business, why should u fear,NDC?

Ndc will cry,weep do whatever nothing will change the mind of the president to bring to book all those who used their position to acquire wealth through the hard work of kayayei, traders,farmers, fisher folks and even beggers. Ghanaians voted massively for Nana to hunt all the witches and wizards,why are you complaining why are you crying? You ain't seen nothing yet.

No doubt this Ghanaweb, such a cheap journalism is Pro-Mahama, but it won’t halt myself and other readers reading their bias articles that occasionally pop-up. Be advise that, there’s nowhere in the Ghana’s constitution that exempt Mahama’s and his political armed robbers from investigations.

If Mahama & Co. think they have no wrong doing during their time in office, WHY WORRY? Even the most basic domestic law with policing allows STOP AND SEARCH. If the police have suspicion of any person on the street going about their own business, they have every right to stop and control the person, they can continue to do so until such time that the police are satisfy with their control. Would you say the police is witch hunting?

Talk about civil war in Ghana, it is such cheap journalism that Ghanaweb circulate will fuel war in the country. It does appear as if Ghanaweb will turn a blind eye to glaring facts for the sake of financial inducement to publish imprudent articles of this nature.

My advice to Ghanaweb is to think about reputation rather than under table brown envelops.

The Al-hajj news paper (NDC mouth piece) is just trying to play psychology on the mind of govt. to preempt any investigation that might come up to investigate state institutions. What is your problem Alhaji? If EOCO want to investigate me a thousand times let them come. Its is only those who have something in their "sleeves" to hide who fear intorigation. Ex prez Mills said he was not up for vindictiveness but later NDC was harassing Asamoah Boateng, Jake Obetsebi Lamptey n Co but because their "sleeves" were free of any concealment, they came out clean. Likewise Prez Kofour's NPP pursued Nana Kunadu Rawlings but at the End of the day, she was relieved of any impropriety. Why should you be bastardizing any perceived investigation?

STATEMENT ON THE 2017 BUDGET, READ BY HONOURABLE HARUNA IDDRISSU, MINORITY LEADER AT A PRESS CONFERENCE ON 3RD MARCH, 2017.
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen of the Press,
I wish to thank you on behalf of my colleagues on the Minority side of Parliament and in the National Democratic Congress for promptly responding to our invitation once again.
Just yesterday, Thursday, 2nd March, 2017, the Finance Minister, Hon. Ken Ofori Atta, presented the maiden budget of the Akufo Addo/Bawumia government.
The presentation of this year’s budget, “the 419 Budget”, has coincided with significant turbulence in a critical macro-economic indicator such as the exchange rate. Only days ago, the international financial news outlet, Bloomberg, reported that the Ghana Cedi was the worst performing currency in the world at the moment, having slumped by 6% in the first month of the Akufo Addo/Bawumia government.
As you may be aware, H. E. President Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo in his State of the Nation Address delivered barely a fortnight ago, promised that details of the many promises contained in the NPP manifesto of 2016 and those he personally made on the campaign trail will be presented in the Budget and Financial estimates by the Finance Minister.
Pursuant to the above, we on the Minority side and we believe all Ghanaians, adjusted our minds to hearing in very specific terms, details of how the exceptionally weak Ghana cedi will be strengthened and how the following key promises and commitments made by the President will be implemented and or most importantly financed:
1. Absolutely free Senior High School education for ALL SHS graduates starting from September this year;
2. Payment of all contractors owed within the first 100 days of this government (ending 17th April, 2017);
3. One Dam in each of the over 6,000 villages in the Northern, Upper East and Upper West Regions if we are to accept their later rendition of the scope of this promise which was initially proposed for every village in Ghana;
4. The restoration and payment of nursing and teacher trainee allowances (an estimated GHC 637.2 million per annum) for the 2017 fiscal year without compromising gains made in increasing enrolment since 2013.
5. Provision of a total of US$275 million (GHC 1,292,000,000) for disbursement to all 275 constituencies for the 2017 fiscal year not as a deduction from the already existing District Assembly Common Fund.;
6. Establishing a factory in each of the 216 Districts of Ghana;
7. Payment of all customers of DKM, ‘God is love’ and other victims of micro-finance swindles;
8. Providing jobs for the teeming unemployed youth of Ghana;
9. Significant reduction of electricity tariffs and transport fares through the removal of the Energy Sector Levy, reduction of Corporate tax from 25% to 20%, 3% Special import levy, removing import duties on raw materials and machinery for production, reducing drivers insurance levies and cost of licence and reducing taxes on companies which employ graduates to reduce graduate unemployment among others; and
10. Doing these without borrowing since ‘all the money needed for these programmes’ according to the tone and manner of their campaign could be realised in the country.
A key expectation of this budget in light of the confusion that arose in the Akufo-Addo government in the wake of the Heritage Fund debacle, was that, very specific sources of funding for the implementation of the promises made by the party on the campaign trail especially on the issue of Free SHS. Ladies and gentlemen of the media,
We note that the Finance Minister refrained from the unfortunate propaganda that other leaders of the NPP use to do, especially Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia, when it comes to discussing the economy even though his references to his family was needless. He rightly acknowledged the significant contributions made in the management of the economy by the previous NDC government.
He also provided more accurate information to the market. This was however not sufficiently consolidated to maximise the gains on the economy.
MACRO-ECONOMIC STABILITY
A review of the macro-economic outturn for 2016 reveals significant gains made by the previous NDC government under President Mahama.
Inflation has been on a downward trend, falling from 19.2percent in March, 2016 to 15.4 percent in December, 2016. It was 13.3 percent in January 2017.
The declining trend in inflation over the period to a rate of 13.3% in January 2017 is wholly attributble to the base drift effect.
To this end, we want to state emphatically that the rate of 13.3% recorded in January 2017 is technical and has nothing to do with any policy initiative of the NPP government. For instance, in January 2016 prices of key components of the weighted basket name; electricity, water and petrol increased by 67%, 59% and 28% respectively. However, in January 2017 only the prices of petrol went up by 11.1%. Against this background, the month- on-month food prices went up by 5.8% in January 2016 but down nosed in January 2017 to only 3.3%.
The Treasury bill rate fell considerably from 24.5 percent in December, 2015 to 16.4 percent in December, 2016.
A Balance of Payments (BOP) surplus of US$247 million was recorded representing a vast improvement on a deficit of US$129 million in 2015.
A major improvement was also witnessed in the country’s trade balance from a deficit of US$1.7bn in 2016 compared to a deficit of US$3.1.bn in 2015.This was the result of an increase of 7.2 percent in exports receipts as well as a decline of 5.3 percent in imports.
The NDC government bequeathed gross foreign reserves of US$6,161.80 million, as at the end of December; up from US$5,884.70 million at the end of December 2015. This means that an additional US$277.07 million was added to our external assets. This provided an import cover of three and a half months.
The exchange rate of the Ghana cedi remained relatively stable. Overall, the Ghana cedi depreciated by 9.6 percent against the US dollar and 5.3 percent against the euro. It in fact appreciated by 10.0 percent against the pound sterling in the interbank market in 2016.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Press,
This relatively strong performance has virtually been eroded as the Ghana cedi has lost about 6% of its value against major currencies since the Akufo Addo/Bawumia Government took office just over a month ago. Today the rapid fall of the Ghana cedi is the most pressing concern for many small scale and large scale businesses.
Their profits are being eroded away with each passing day and Ghanaians are also bearing the repercussions of this state of affairs.
The Finance Minister, failed to outline clear policies to address this important issue afflicting the Ghanaian economy today i.e. -the near-uncontrollable fall of the Ghana Cedi which is now considered the worst-performing currency in the world. This is especially regrettable in view of the stability the Ghana cedi enjoyed in the 2016 fiscal year under the NDC’s agenda for transformation. Again this is regrettable because this budget stifles exports and stimulates imports. A situation which will impact negatively on the manufacturing sector, industries as a whole, accelerated job creation and a stable currency.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
We call on the Akufo Addo/Bawumia government to as a matter of urgency and in the national interest take immediate steps to halt this worrying decline in the value of the Ghana cedi.
We note that most of the macro-economic targets set by his government are in tandem with and represent a continuation of the work began by the immediate-past NDC administration.
The Finance Minister pegged GDP growth projections for 2017 at 6.3% which is significantly lower than the 7% projected by leading international finance organizations like the World Bank and IMF.
The projection however validates the gains made by the NDC administration in taking corrective measures against the fiscal slippages in 2012 and setting the country on a path of economic stability through massive investments in critical sectors of the economy including the oil and gas sector.
With regards to the budget deficit recorded in 2016, the Finance Minister’s explanation or causes namely- lower than expected oil and gas production, absolves the NDC of claims of “mismanagement” and “reckless expenditure” by President Akufo Addo in his State Of The Nation Address.

BROKEN PROMISES
Ladies and Gentlemen of the press,
Despite the departure of the Finance Minister, Hon Ken Ofori Atta, from the usual propaganda of the NPP on the economy led by Vice President Bawumia, his presentation fell short of what was required to demonstrate that the NPP will meet the promises made in their 2016 manifesto and on the campaign trail.
Contrary to assurances by President Akufo Addo in his maiden SONA that the Budget statement will flesh out in substantial detail, the many promises he made in 2016, many of these promises have been broken or are being programmed to be broken.
President Akufo Addo promised to:
• Pay all arrears owed contractors in the first 100 days of his administration. This was not captured in the budget;
• Pay all customers of DKM, God is love, Jasper Motors among others who lost monies as a result of the microfinance scams in the Brong Ahafo region in particular but no mention was made of it in the budget;
• Reduce corporate tax from 25% to 20% but this was not captured in the budget;
• Remove import duties on raw materials and machinery for production, reduce drivers’ insurance levies and cost of licence; and
• Immediately reduce electricity tariffs and transportation fares but this was missing in the budget.
This can only mean a betrayal of the trust of significant sections of the Ghanaian people who may have been affected by these issues and may have taken a chance to bank their hopes on this government. These Ghanaians are fast losing hope in the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government.
In addition to this, a number of promises that the government sought to fulfil do not appear to have been adequately budgeted for. Neither was information on the sources of the required funds for their implementation revealed. Notable examples are the “Frees SHS”, “One District one factory”,” One Dam One Village”, “One Constituency, one million dollars” mantra.

FREE SHS DECEPTION
Ladies and gentlemen of the press,
There was clear deception in the budget statement read by the Finance Minister yesterday regarding the much-trumpeted Free SHS programme. President Akufo Addo insisted during the election campaign that he would make SHS education instantly free for ALL JHS graduates once elected.
What this simply meant was that at least an amount of GHc3.6 billion would be provided for in the budget to cater for the needs of an estimated 840,000 SHS students due to be in school in the 2016/2017 Academic year.
Paragraph 575 of the Budget Statement however paints a completely different picture and tells a tale of total deception. The paragraph in question states that ONLY first year students in the 2017/2018 academic year, whose number is given as 467,692 at page 102 of the budget will benefit from the programme.
The budget is also completely silent on the President’s promise in his speech at the Okuapeman Senior High School in the Eastern Region, a couple of weeks ago that All Day Students will be fed once a day. The Day students and their parents were expectant and have been disappointed by this twist of events.
Even as this clearly amounts to a monumental deception, it completely vindicates the position of the NDC administration at the time that the most viable option towards the implementation of Free SHS is the gradualist approach under the Progressively Free SHS programme introduced in the 2015/2016 academic year. What the NPP has proposed in the budget is Progressively Free SHS under a different name.
In fact, SHS students especially continuing students were better off under the NDC’s Progressively Free SHS as opposed to the Akufo Addo/Bawumia version. Under the NDC, a total of 320,000 day students from first to third year benefitted from Progressively Free Education. In the 2016/2017 academic year another 120,000 targeted boarding students from deprived communities were roped into the programme. This meant that all year groups were fairly represented as against the decision by the Akufo Addo/Bawumia government to leave out hundreds of thousands of continuing students in their second and third years of study in all Senior High Schools in Ghana.
We note even more worryingly that neither a cost nor a source of funding was put to this programme save for a vague mention of the limited Annual Budget Funding Amount (ABFA) from our petroleum receipts and “other domestic revenue sources”.
We are however aware of a figure of GHc 400 million being bandied around by some members of the NPP’s communication team as the total cost of the programme. If this proves to be true, it would be inadequate to cater for even one term of Free SHS. This is a serious issue and we demand immediate clarity on the subject in order to avoid confusion, frustration and anxiety for students and their parents come September this year.
In lieu of this, let President Akufo-Addo admit that his promises on Free SHS were not properly thought-through and make the necessary arrangements to explain why a different approach to what was promised is being adopted.

CAPPING OF STATUTORY FUNDS
Ladies and gentlemen,
It was patently clear in the budget statement that the Akufo Addo/Bawumia government has no magic wand to conjure the sort of creativity required to generate additional resources to finance the many promises they made to Ghanaians.
To mask this glaring deficiency, the Finance Minister in his budget statement hid behind so-called “rigidities” to launch an aggressive raid on statutory funds. The Minister proposed in the budget statement to cap statutory fund payments at just 25% of revenue in order to remove ‘rigidities’ in their allocation.
This is only an euphemism for the diversion of badly needed money from the District Assembly Common Fund (DACF), GETFund, NHIS, GIIF etc. to finance the ‘One this! One that!! campaign’ mantra of the NPP. This goes contrary to their campaign promises which cemented the view and raised hopes that these promises were to attract new and additional funding.
Such diversions will have disastrous consequences for vital sectors of the economy like Education, Health, and provision of social infrastructure. Funds like GETFund, NHIS and DACF have become the lifeblood of respectively Education, Health, Sanitation and other sectors of our national life. These funds even at the current rate of receipts from government are constrained by severe financing gaps leading to difficulties in meeting their obligations. We note that unlike previous governments, The Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government for “Families, Friends and Financiers” being property owning democrats and rigidly pursuing their interest, is having minimal regard for the social sector which immensely affects the poor and downtrodden the most. But this should not continue.
The GETFund since its inception by the NDC administration has become the mainstay of infrastructure provision as well as meeting commitments at all levels of education. Reducing the amount of funds allocated to it as is envisaged under the so-called capping arrangement by the Finance Minister will compromise access and quality of education at all levels.
The Akufo Addo/Bawumia government must be reminded that education in Ghana goes beyond just the second cycle level and all levels require adequate funding in order to have a robust and comprehensive education system which is relevant and responsive to the country’s human resource needs.
We hasten to add that even the Free SHS programme in its current hazy state would not survive if adequate provision is not made to accommodate the massive increase in enrolment expected in view of the decision to merge SHS education with basic education.
This is more so when no clear provision has been made in the budget for the continuation of the Community Day SHS started by the President Mahama administration.
Available evidence shows for instance that even with the release of all budgeted funds to the NHIS, only about half of the cost of healthcare is met leaving a major financing gap which needs to be made up for through additional financing options. This shortfall has often led to delays in payments to service providers. Any further cuts to the NHIS will sound the death knell for this important intervention and must not see the light of day.
The District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF) is the primary source of funding for the activities of Districts in the country. People with disability derive their share of the DACF and they deserve it. These funds are also critical for the provision of badly needed amenities in various communities as well as the management of sanitation. It is obvious that the attempt to cut the fund is a backdoor channel aimed at raising resources from the DACF to finance President Akufo Addo’s “one million per constituency” and “one District, one factory” promises made in 2016. Why must the districts be short-changed, why must people living with disability suffer cuts in their share of the DACF to suit the NPP’s deceptive campaign promises?
The NPP is clearly attempting to engage in a bizarre manoeuvre under which it will cut funds meant for development in communities from a statutory fund and channel same into poorly-conceived programmes also meant to provide communities with amenities. It is a vivid example of the famous expression; “robbing Peter to pay Paul”.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The NPP is just robbing Peter to pay Paul. In the end nothing new would have been done save the diversion of monies from one fund into another to achieve the same purpose.
Furthermore, the one million dollars per constituency promise treats all constituencies as having equal landmass and population hence assumes that they have the same needs.
This is a clear manifestation of policy confusion and contradiction. More importantly, it shows that the NPP’s deliberately evasive posture towards demands for them to indicate the sources of funding for their many lavish campaign promises has caught up with them. They are clearly at their wits end in terms of finding money to deliver on their lofty promises and have resorted to this elaborate gambit.

This proposal is bewildering in view of the fact that delays in statutory payments was a major criticism that the NPP levelled at the then NDC administration. This proposal to cap statutory fund payments will completely lead to a collapse of many sectors of national life.
This must be a major source of concern for all Ghanaians and we all need to demand that the Akufo Addo government leaves our statutory funds alone and look for alternative funding sources just like they were forced by sensible public outcry not to touch the heritage fund.
IMINENT SALE OF NATIONAL ASSETS
The finance minister hinted ominously in the budget statement at the continuation of an NPP tradition of carving out state assets and selling them whenever they are cash-strapped. Just as they did in the case of Ghana Airways Co. Ltd., Ghana Telecom etc. He indicated that GHC 1.8 billion is to be realised from the divestiture of some state assets.
Though specific details of the assets in question were not disclosed, coming on the heels of statements by first, the President and subsequently the Finance Minister that VRA and GRIDCO are to be listed on the stock exchange, we are inclined to believe that this government covets these major state utilities and is bent on selling them off to private interests.
In the interest of transparency and accountability the Akufo Addo/Bawumia government must provide more information on which state assets they intend to sell to raise the said GHC1.8million. The resort to selling of state asset itself is further proof of a lack of innovation on the part of the current managers of the economy and at variance with their suppositions and claims in opposition. For this is a cheaper and lazy route to innovative governance.
POWER OUTAGES
Ladies and gentlemen of the press,
The country has recently witnessed prolonged power cuts popular known as Dumsor. This is in spite of adequate measures put in place by the estwhile NDC government to address the problem.The NDC government undertook the largest and quickest mobilization of power generation capacity in Ghanaian history thereby affording the nation enough generation capacity.Far reaching measures were also put in place to guarantee fuel security. We have noted that the NPP government which is clearly smarting under public discontent over the power cuts has sought to blame the previous government.We wish to make it clear to the NPP that the recent power cuts are entirely their doing and responsibility especially when viewed against the backdrop of boastful claims by then Vice Presidential candidate Bawumia that Dumsor was a financial problem and not a technical problem.
Expected increase in crude production from TEN and Sankofa with upstream Petroleum expected to grow by 39.6%. It is surprising that notwithstanding the huge reduction in the development cost SGN, the budget still quotes $9.80/months. Since gas price is dependent on development cost, we urge government to go and renegotiate as per the Petroleum Agreement to ensure a competitive power sector.
The reduction of Public lighting levy from 5% to 2% is a red hearing. This and National Electrification Scheme levy do not exist in Law. These levies were repealed by the Energy Sector Levies Act (Act 899). It is surprising that the Budget intends reducing a levy that does not exist.
The budget statement offered no clear cut measures to guarantee to deal with the recent setback in power generation and this is most worrying.
SECTORAL PERFORMANCE
A review of the performance of important sectors of the economy as contained in the budget statement re-affirms the vision of the immediate-past NDC government under President Mahama.
Virtually all gains made in the various sectors stem from unprecedented investments made by the NDC government. These investments in water provision, housing, roads, communications, health, education, agriculture, transportation among others represent the largest such investments and have eased life considerably for our people.
Furthermore, almost all the projects mentioned in the budget which are set to begin were either initiated by the NDC government or funding for them were sourced under the same government.
Examples of these include (and the source of these projects and programmes is the budget statement itself):
• Phase one of the Anomabo Fisheries College to enhance research and knowledge-base in fisheries technology for all operators;
• The Ghana Commodities Exchange (GCX) project; and
• the Marine Drive Tourism Investment Project covering the over 240 acres of land from Osu Christiansborg Castle to the Arts Centre.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Also:
• Having increased the total installed generation capacity by 880MW in 2016, the total of 1227MW of installed capacity due to be added in 2017 were all started under the NDC. These include: 370MW AKSA project, 107MW GPGC project, 350MW CenPower Project and 400MW Early Power Project among others.
• Having completed the Sekondi to Takoradi via Kojokrom section of the Western Rail Line and ensured completion of Feasibility Studies and Front End Engineering Design (FEED); for commencement of work on The Western Line; which starts from Takoradi and terminates at Kumasi with two branch lines namely; Dunkwa to Awaso and Kojokrom to Sekondi, covering a distance of 340km, the verdict is clear about who did what.
• The Greater Accra Metropolitan Area (GAMA), Kumasi and Cape Coast water extension projects . The Kpong, Akim Oda and Ho water expansion projects, Tono Water Treatment project, the Yendi Damongo and the Wa project, preparatory works for the Sunyani and Techiman as well as the Sekondi-Takoradi water supply projects had also started.
• In 2016, routine maintenance activities were undertaken on 10,723.49km (90 percent of the approved work plan) of the trunk road network; 16,183km (72 percent of the approved work plan) on the feeder road network; and 9,384km (94 percent of the approved work plan) on the urban road network.
In addition to this the following projects had either commenced or funds had been found and Parliamentary approval obtained by the NDC government:
• Construction of a bridge on the Volta River at Volivo
• Nsawam - Apedwa Road(Kwafokrom – Apedwa Road)
• Tamale – Yendi Road
• Bolgatanga – Bawku - Polmakom
• Nkwanta - Oti Damanko Road
• Oti Damanko - Nakpanduri Road
• Berekum – Seikwa Road
• Enchi - Dadieso Road
• Kasoa Interchange and Ancillary Works
• Dualisation of Ho Main Roads
• Construction of Ho Bypass
• Construction of Obetsebi Lamptey Interchange
• Construction of Pokuase Interchange
• Kumasi Roads and Drainage Extension Project

TAX RELIEF MEASURES VIS A VIS REVENUE MEASURES
Ladies and Gentlemen,
We acknowledge the effort by government to remove a number of taxes to create space for the private sector. These measures could however have the opposite effect on the economy in view of the lack of corresponding revenue measures to compensate for the loss of revenue that will occur.
The only notable revenue measure is the policy on scrapping some tax exemptions granted to some firms undertaking projects in Ghana. It must be noted that the amounts of tax exemptions for projects especially those undertaken through borrowing are deducted from the cost of the loans so removing the exemptions will only lead to an increase in the cost of loans and ultimately lead to an increase in the public debt.
For us the most important test of the effectiveness of these measures will be determined by a significant reduction in electricity and fuel prices as promised by President Akufo Addo, a significant reduction in price of spare parts for drivers and vehicle owners and subsequent reduction in transportation fares and a general reduction in the cost of living for every Ghanaian. Finally it must translate into employment creation for the teeming youth of our country.
ANTI CORRUPTION
It is instructive to note that the government’s anti-corruption efforts as outlined in the budget hinges on the National Anti-Corruption Action Plan (NACAP) which was developed by the NDC government. This is an attestation that the previous government took the right steps which the NPP government finds necessary to continue. We welcome their implicit praise and validation of our stewardship. But we wish to condemn their decision to review their entrenched position taken on sole sourced contracts in the past. The NPP condemned sole sourcing. The NPP must stick to their promise of near-zero sole sourcing and not a threshold approach which allows for sole sourcing up to GHC50 million. Let’s face it, how many single government contracts in Ministries, Departments and Agencies are equal to or above GHC50 million? This is a back door approach to saying, ‘we were wrong, let it continue because we have seen the light, that sole sourcing in and of itself is not wrong’.
In conclusion ladies and gentlemen of the media,
The “419 Budget” presented yesterday by the Finance Minister failed in many ways to prove that the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government has a well-thought out plan to move our country forward. The mere repetition of campaign slogans and mantra without corresponding action plans backed by unambiguous cost measurements and financing plans does little to convince the people of Ghana that this is a government that can be relied upon to redeem its legion of promises.
It is still early days yet and it remains to be seen what direction the ship of state will be steered in. The anchor is not holding. The Captain of the ship must wake up and re-design the funding sources for the many promises they made.
The initial direction is tentative and dogged by policy confusion and contradictions.
? This is a government that in one breath laments the lack of fiscal space yet seeks to narrow the space further through borrowing.

? This is a government that in one breath seeks to provide free SHS for all yet is clearly targeting only first year students in September this year.
? This is a government that in breath promised Day Students at the SHS level one free meal a day and yet has patently refused to comment on it in its budget.

? This is a government that in one breath promised to reduce tariffs to alleviate hardships and has so far not taken bold steps to achieve this.

? This is a government that in one breath promised to reduce Drivers Insurance levies and cost of vehicle license yet has so far remained mute on these.

? This is a government that in one breath promised to create jobs and as yet has ensured that:

• 205 employees of the National Service Scheme have been dismissed;

• 8,634 Nurses who had received financial clearance and had been employed in various public health institutions have been thrown out of their jobs;

• 265 Police recruits who had reached advanced stages of training including weapon handling have had their dreams of entering the police service crushed by an unreasonable decision to dismiss them;

• 525 National Security personnel have also been shown the exit and asked to go home; and

• Have displaced many workers and immediately replaced them with NPP apparatchiks without due process, with several others still sitting on tenterhooks not for any wrongdoing, but just because the worst fears of Ghanaian workers akin to Apolo 568 has resurrected and revisited them.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Yesterday, the august house of Parliament was subjected to another rendition of the “Family, Friends and Financiers” government of President Akufo-Addo. It was as unnecessary, irrelevant and misplaced as it not only gave an inkling into the mind-set of the current NPP government, but also reflected the Akyem “Family, Friends and Financiers” hegemony that Akufo-Addo government seeks to establish. But that will be left for another day.
Ladies gentlemen,
These contradictions account for the policy confusion alluded to earlier and we will be watching closely from the vantage point of a responsible party that has had the experience of managing this country in order to hold the feet of this government to the fire of accountability to ensure that the mandate given to them by the good people of Ghana is not squandered.
The debate on the budget next week will offer greater opportunity for us to highlight our views on many other aspects of the budget.

Thank you for coming.

If the former first family and its associates,did business within the laws of the land,they have absolutely nothing to fear,because there are laws in this Country.
But I hope the laws will deal with anybody who has fleeced this Country,no matter the person's status in this Country.

Let every person or business be investigated if they are under any suspicion; every one of them. Let the law take its course and justice done for Mother Ghana if they are found guilty. There should be fairness to all and nobody should feel intimidated. If you have done nothing wrong and thus have nothing to hide, you should have nothing to fear. Those who crying wolf know why they are trembling in their boots.

Think about it if you lost your family member as a result of fire outbreak because he/she switched on candle to sleep, yet you pay taxes and John Jinapor, others were enjoying sirins with no solution to dumsor? Think about it if you lost your mother to a simple surgery as a result of nonavailability of drugs/equipment, yet those friends of Mahama took your taxes to buy them but they were never bought?

I said it before that the elephants are not interested in rulling but to be chasing former government appointees. By the time they realise the 4years given them would have been over and they would also have succeeded in pushing a lot of Ghanaians to vote against them in future elections. As at today, they have dismissed a lot of Ghanaians some of whom voted for them from their work places. Are they learning sense? They are only repeating what their late fathers and uncles did after they booted Kwame Nkrumah out of power. Time will tell!

Newspapers and news reporters, are notoriously propagandistic. NDC sympathetic papers do it. NPP sympathetic newspapers, also do it. Forget journalistic objectivity! Of course, NDC appointees will be investigated. If you have a small iota of brain matter, you will know that a new administration should conduct a thorough investigation as the where matters stand when they assume office. John Dramani Mahama's time in office, had a particularly disturbing stench of corruption which pervaded the whole country. Members of his political party stole with abandon. Everybody knew it. IF it turns out that the suspicions were misplaced, the new government can let it go. But if the investigations verify what everybody suspects, then those people belong in jail. These children of Rawlings' revolution were so bad, that the founder of their revolution could see their betrayal. Akuffo Addo promised no witch hunt. He did not promise stupidity, or complicity in the wholesale rape of SADA, or COCOBOD, or GYEEDA, or the other assorted alphabet soup of government institutions. We have to break the cycle of criminality in the way we do things. It's going to be hard to do that. Rawlings came on the political scene, and killed people for little infractions. One wonders what it's going to take to get Ghanaians to be good to Ghana. The political class is hopelessly corrupt. They steal state resources wantonly and with abandon. smh! !

MAHAMA IS BARAWO BANZA
Mahama is so heartless, wicked and corrupt that he wouldn’t blink stealing from a helpless orphan. Please read the following:
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 President Mahama who lost his temper and pointing his finger, called General Obasanjo an ” idiot” and a “silly buffoon”.It took other ministers present as well as Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni to calm tempers and usher President Mahama to a nearby room. The forum, which takes place from 1st to 3rd December is attended by African Heads of States, Ministers, Private equity firms and investors to discuss opportunities for investment and development in African Economies.

Dear Communications Director, The Office of the President, Mr. Arhin,
this is an open letter to your good office to make this cult worshopper whose name does not rhyme the northern names in Ghana and fanticizes that half of Ghanaians came from Nigeria, so lives on the falsehood to deeply involve im all matters Ghana. Arhin, ensure that batule does not, repeat does not have contact with any "leakages" from either the office of the President or his Vice. Stop him from peddling falsehold about the Akuffo Addo government. Nana's administration is a government of the people, for the people and by the people. It believes in the rule of law, which is the bedrock of democracy. Nana Akuffo Addo does not have power to arrest any Ghanaian, although in high profile cses, he as President of the Republic of Ghana gets to be informed through his Ministers for Attorney General and Justice or the Interior and the National Security Ministry. Its the authorized duty of the police, the EOCO and BNI to do due deligience to justice and persons who have come under the wrong side of the law to be investigated, charged or freed or sent to the law courts for legal actions. Akuffo Addo has not ordered or asked anyone like the Sierra Leonean, excuse me, the man called baba kamara, mahama's former NSA, did to a fellow Ghanaian. Batule you are a liar and you should be lockecd up for stirring treasaon or inciting choas in Ghana. You are a Nigerian and if you do not like what the goverment is doing, you are free to exit our shores or you better do what is right and correct. Stop inciting choas in Ghana, Batule or whatever your sounds like unGhanaian. Arhin stop the leaks from the Flagstaff House. Batule is a cult worshipper of their idol, the prophet Nostro Damus Mahama, who came to free his Gonja people from free education and ended short chaining them on the SADA, SUBA, the sale of ECG and many more to come; including the Cocoa Board scams. What has Akuffo Addo got to do with Lordina insetting herself in Former Naval Commodore Kyeremeh cocoa deals and fertizer smuggling to Burkina Faso? Leave the EOCO and the Police to do their jobs, Datulw the liar.

Ghana at 60 is got nothing to brag about in terms of modern infrastructure and people development. It is prudent then that at 60yrs we ask questions seek and demand answers. I don't like the tone of this article which seems to suggest that any question asked of anybody in a past government which amounts to demand for accountability spells of a witch hunt. This article is doing a disservice to the people of Ghana. The people that the masses put in office as custodians have consistently robbed and raped the people of their progress since the attainment of independence and it's time to seek real answers once and for all.

Every responsible Govt' must investigate reports or firm indications of crime, including corruption in high places. But it is the way it goes about doing so that matters most in political terms.

Ghanaians are anxious to see their looted assets returned. But it would be a political suicide for the Akufo-Addo Gov't to go about the retrieval effort in a highly politicized manner reflecting some vengeful agenda against the former President. Such approach would be wrong and unproductive with long-term repercussions on the NPP.

However, if Mahama was hamstrung to stop his aids from looting, the current Administration has every right and the People's mandate to try and retrieve any stolen assets. We should not fear the specter of deepening the divide between NPP and NDC to induce the Akufo-Addo Gov't to abandon that effort. All is needed is doing it the right way. And most Ghanaians would appreciate that more than just letting the looter's off.

Long Live Ghana!!!

"If you do what's right you have no need to fear" is a line from one of my favorite hymns. What do Mahama and his family need to fear if their hands are clean? The investigations will prove their innocence or guilt so why is the NDC mouthpiece panicking and crying foul? This is the only way we can eliminate entirely or limit to the barest minimum the massive corruption in government and public administration. Scratch my back and I will scratch yours should be a thing of the past if we want to see accountability in public office and the progress of the nation. The old order must give way to a new and refreshing system of doing things.
Sole sourcing in the award of government contracts is no longer a secret. If we really yearn for change from the old order and wish to see the judicious use of our financial resources then we must not fear to do the right thing. Crying foul means Mahama, his wife, brother and their collaborators have something to hide and that they would rather the investigations are never begun. It's a tough and rough road to travel but that's the only way we can rid the public purse of the havoc caused by unhallowed hands. When the rule of Akuffo Addo is over the next Administration can apply the same investigative process to find out if they did abuse their positions of trust and misappropriated the finances of the nation. This should be the new order of doing government business so that the people appointed by the people become accountable to the people. We can no longer tolerate, sustain and maintain the old system of doing things that stagnates progress.

Better they be investigated and cleared and or prosecuted than accusing the president of embarking on a mission to nail the former first family and his relatives and friends...are you sure of all that you are saying? Your article is an embarrassment to all of us who believe in democracy and the rule of law.. Our judiciary is independent, we have brilliant men and women in the bar to defend the defenceless including the former first family and their friends..Remember how the Ghana @50 trial of the former chief of staff and Tarzan ended?...

The Editor-in-chief, Alhadji Bature of this newspaper, al-haJJ is a known NDC sympathizer - he was seen on TV talking in favour the erstwhile John Mahama government.

...he normally appears on Adom TV's Badwater along side Kennedy Agya pong and in one of those days, Nature revealed he exaggerated the story when he said Kennedy's mother was owing him [Bature]!

Bature and his workers at al-haJJ are continuing what they started when NDC were in power.

Today, NDC are gone so, I think Bature should rest a bit!

He is only trying to make people think Akuffo - Addo is wicked as NDC tagged him [Nana Addo]

Bature is a stupid man and we those who have been close to politicians, know more about him!

Nana should not waste time at all in getting the facts and dealing with these fraudsters of yesterday. They are the cause of most death in Ghana. For every cedi taken illegally from the coffers or the purse of the nation caused the death of someone deprived of decent medical care somewhere in the hinterland. Ibrahim Mahamah did a lot of looting and sharing. For example at the funeral of Late Alhaji Rasheed, The Nigerian who married a Ghanaian and gave birth to Ali Tunde, Ibrahim's friend, there was dishing out from Ibrahim of C20,000.00 and 10,000.00 to the Tunde and the Chief Imam respectively and again 2,000.00 to those who read the coran. If Ibrahim had worked hardly for this money could he had given such money to a mere friend as funeral donation.

After freeing our selves from the bondage of colonialism in the hands of the white man , our own black rulling class has now taking over the mantle of governance and held as captives of Economic bondage.

Are some of you criminal politicians suggesting to Ghanains that those of you who happens to weild political power are not constitutionally accountable to the state and that you can do things with impunity ? Are you telling us that the state has no right to investigate suspected corrupt political appointees and their cronies after living the corridors of power? This is irresponsible journalism and i have no doupt that you are an accomplice to this loot and share: You ara a disloyal and unpatriotic journalist whose contribution to the society is to get yourself educated to exploit the vulnerable .
Ghanains have now become much aware that its some of the looted state monies that are often used to set up most of your media houses under the guise of press freedom to milk the resources of this country.
Enough is enough . Irrespective of NDC or NPP. This time round the society is just waiting with egle eyes to see if the New Government would lack the political will to combat this mannace of corruption .
should this happened we are going to witness the emergance of numerous vibrant anti corruption civil society groups unprecedented in the political history of this country to fight this canker.

What is your problem Alhaji? If EOCO want to investigate me a thousand times let them come. Its is only those who have something in their "sleeves" to hide who fear intorigation. Ex prez Mills said he was not up for vindictiveness but later NDC was harassing Asamoah Boateng, Jake Obetsebi Lamptey n Co but because their "sleeves" were free of any concealment, they came out clean. Likewise Prez Kofour's NPP pursued Nana Kunadu Rawlings but at the End of the day, she was relieved of any impropriety. Why should you be bastardizing any perceived investigation?

NDC and Mahama conducted about 6 different forensic audits on President Akufo Addo then Nana Akufo Addo as a former Cabinet member of the Kufuor administration. Nothing was found against him, absolutely zilch.
In line with accountability measures which saw Akufo Addo being subjected to about 6 forensic audits, it stands to reason and makes complete and absolute sense for Ghana to hold members of the Mahama administration, it's family and friends to the principles of accountability to determine cause or otherwise, on the issue of corruption and malfeasance with respect to the public purse.
Ghana demands the full force and authority of the State is employed to ascertain acts of misconduct or otherwise in the management of the public purse with responsibility towards the Ghanaian taxpayer and it is inherently expected President Akufo Addo would exercise this mandate fully, firmly and thoroughly in a right and proper manner to ensure prosecution of such inappropriate conduct by members of the Mahama NDC gov't, family and friends to deter such conduct in his own administration and in the future.
The thieves of Ghana must and should be dealt with severely in this country now!!!.

Al-hajj or whatever you call yourself, this is not witch haunting or disgrace of Mahama, family and friends as you claim. They have done most harm to this country than any other person and you want them to go scotfree? Even your foolish person license is going to be frozen and relieved off you as your owner is a thief and corrupt too. It has long bring overdue over their incrimination. I can't wait to see a thief and corrupt woman ever to marry a corrupt, wicked, thief and incompetent leader like Mahama. You think you own Ghana right? If not the useless Rawlingsian constitution and worst pass leaders who have all contributed in destroying this country and proper laws were put in place to incriminate, prosecute and jail corrupt, thieves and heartless people many years, do you think your ilks in NDC, the thieving and corrupt Mahama, his so-called family and friends and cronies would have ventured near seat of governance much more presidency and you spew your toothless spewing garbage and rubbrstamp of nincimpoopian stuff of this government wanting to disgrace your burglars and penned robbers who are powerdrunk but have no heads to rule much more lords over us authority? Let the law works and kill all the thieves and free this country for us. The axe has been laid and every tree which was, is and will be unproductive but destroy the field with space, soil fertility and struggle with the farm for space and anything that generates growth and development much be cut, uprooted and destroyed. Simple! For me, Nana Addo has even being too slow, timid and quite for my liking.

Nana Addo government is not looking to disgrace anybody but to stop corruption and stealing of State properties and treasury. Any Man with pure integrity and honest mind could not say Mahama and his brother acquire all their wealth in and honest way in this short amount of time. The same people who are criticizing Akufo-Addo government for going after people with dubious ways will be the same people who will say Nana Addo government was not able to fight corruption if he does not do what he is doing now.

If the President is requesting an information about something which all the citizens are not clear about what is the mistake there. What we need to do is to be happy, because our hard earned money has been used in ways most people don't no about.

Is Alhaji Bature trying to tell Ghanaians that if these so called Mahama's family and friends have duped this beloved country of ours the new government should sit and fold it's arms because they are untouchables, what a load of crass journalism is this?

Whenever the state is investigating somebody or any group of persons, we should throw our weight behind the state to carry the investigations thoroughly and perhaps see the persons under investigation guilty till they are proved not guilty. This is a way of making Ghana better. No body is above the law. What belongs to all should not be taken or see to have been taken by few and if they do, the logical consequence is investigations and prosecutions. This government is telling its own appointees to be very careful for they would also face the wrath of the law in future knowing they one day they would be out of power.

You seem to be sympathetic towards the previous JDM government. Since Ghana is a free society why don't you spill out the "source of your documents" What will the current president gain by spending his prcious time to witch hunting despicable Mahama? We have had murderers and looters outside the Dankwa-Busia-Dombo axis of political persuasion haunting this beautiful motherland by their atrocities to persons and the public purse. My fervent prayer and hope is that Ghanaians will surely learn from such dishourable individuals and periods in our political dispensation to never return such to power again. There are certain of these individuals, after murdering innocent Ghanaians still cannot lay down their evil ravaged hearts and foolish and egotistical pride and get out of the political limelight. There is going to be a day of reckoning when the LORD will demand their respective stewardship at the Heavenly Bar.
