USD 7 million is peanuts for the USA but they won't let this go. This is accountability. This is how people learn and develop. We can't sweep everything under the carpet.

Maybe now that the ambassador have made comments, they might start something. Leadership paralysis is 95% of Ghana's problem.

Mr. President,
THis is a National Embarrassment. The US Ambassador is standing up for Tax payers of the USA, and Ghana is doing a cover up, promoting criminals indited in a crimnal case. What a shame, yet we talk & refer to Ghana as a trailblazer. This is really sad, & frustrating. We have million excuses for lack of action. Even if there is none, it is invented.

GHANNI, what are you talking about. The Ambassador is talking about tax payers monies. You Ghanains are criminals. You want free Everything. Come and see how people work hard in the states before making a decent living? If you guys don't want the Ambassador to interfere in your affairs, then better stop asking the Americans for Aids. Foolish people.

You r wrong. We go cup in arms begging for grants from these countries. Guess what they use their tax payers money to fund these grants and contribute to the WHO etc which buys drugs for us then people turn around steal the drugs sell the drugs pocket the money and burn the store house to cover their tracks. The state now has to find the money to replace these items for the benefit of the citizens. We investigate find culprits and do nothing for 2 years ebeiiiii. It a shame. And u say the ambassador should not complain about the junction of the AG. We should bow down our heads in shame.

ABEIKU, IS IT NOT SHAMEFUL THAT A FOREIGN NATIONAL HAS TO BRING ISSUE BACK TO THE FORE? THAT IS PATRIOTISM THAT IS LACKING IN THE GHANAIAN. THIS IS NOT INTERFERENCE BUT COMPLETE SHAMEFUL ACT. IT TELLS THE WORLD HOW A GHANAIAN BEHAVES. PEOPLE HAVE DELIBERATELY SET FIRE TO DESTROY GOVERNMENT PROPERTY AND NOTHING IS DONE. WAYOME CONS THE GOVERNMENT WITH ACTIVE PARTICIPATION OF GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, HER DEPUTY, PEOPLE SELLING STATE PROPERTIES TO THEMSELVES AND YOU DO NOT SEE ANYTHING WRONG BUTALL THAT AS A FOLL YOU ARE SAYING IS THAT THE AMBASSADOR SHOULD MIND HIS OWN BUSINESS. GOD SHOULD FORGIVE YOU ALL THAT YOU HAVE SAID.

Ghanani,I know where you are coming from,business as usual.Not anymore.The US didn't complain about this issue because they know the previous government was a dead goat. The money in question came from the USA and they want to know what happened to their tax payers money, so you Ghanani sitting in Ghana telling them to mind their business don't know what you are talking about.I am not even sure you read the whole story to get the import of what is being discussed.Educate yourself on issues before rubbishing them and I am very sure with this explanation from me and others,you will go after the thieves now unless you're one of them.Good day bro.Shalom

This is a big shame,Ndc and their actions beats ones imagination on issues like this,the crimes they committed was far less than the property commodities they destroyed.We can't sweep such a case under the carpet,it's a disgrace on our country the level of institutional corruption this country witnessed under Ndc,what ll make anybody shield this criminals in this case?what benefit ll this offense bring to any political party?the US ambassador is right about the reminder and I think npp government must follow up on the case for justice to be done.

I was in Ghana when it occurred.similar thing occurred in d north, I believe Tamale or so within a week or two of each other.for these crooks to be promoted to higher positions tells u how skewed d priorities of d government is. It happened in Nigeria too about 40 years ago the communication tower was burnt down in ikoi Lagos under similar circumstances. We have a long way to go on d continent of Africa.Thanks Mr ambassador for shinning d light on these cockroaches.we need more pi's in d country and Africa.Those who are incorruptible, who will expose these criminals. It is only in Ghana ,where people indicted on arson of such proportion are promoted to a higher position rather than being promoted to nsawam.it clearly smells a cover up from d top. once again thanks Mr ,for putting d officials feet to d fire.

*check out tax due by gold companies agreement that pay less tax if 30% paid into individual "personal" accounts .......
*look at Korle bu....there should be a book and a tax man there to collect tax on all the corrupt revenue ...how to get a bed by paying staff, how to deliver empty boxes of drugs and get paid, how to "break" equipment in the hospital & refer the patient to their own practice & charge fees for a service that should have been free.......

Laziness and lack of will power is ditching the committed and dedicated citizens and now criminals have taken in charge, Ghanaians are too obliviours,later part in 70's every 2 to3 months there would a factory or office would raise down by fire, you can refer it from the fire service, and people were escort go free, and today 21st century we still refer to such behaviour, and today ambassador of US is asking for probity and accountability which is very partetic and shameful.

Yes the judiciary is corrupt, and the judges are there to handle people of low positions in a very rough way of which the stupid and village ignorant population do support foolishly.

Looking at the Lebanese case, all over the nation one hears noises of what a Lebanese Ghanaian had done, the case had been hyped and thus people calling for the man's head while medication meant for all had been smartly stolen and covered up with arson, and everybody is quiet over it, and never wanted to know about it.

You are real primitive Ghanaians who even do not know what belong to you and even meant for your good interest. None of you is making noises over the arson case at the Tema Medical Warehouse.

Shame unto you with all your primitive village style of only interested in political and tribal stupidity of litigation and abuses that takes you nowhere.

When Kennedy Agyepong who holds a high position as a parliamentarian and of the NPP made utterances of death and tribal war by asking Ashantis to kill Gas and Ewes he was treated by the judges like what he said is nothing evil.

On the contrary when the so called MONTIE 3 made less grievious or similar utterances that affects the lives of the corrupt judges the whole village oriented population of Ghana were foolishly convinced the montie 3 had done what had been done before in Ghana and were thus treated badly nationally while the mad parliamentarian of the NPP was left to go free.

Where is the village and self styled extra intelligent lawyer Samuel Okudzeto, who came out and said much against the montie 3? Is this not the same thing we all see today with the Tema Medical store arson issues.

The suspected culprits of the Tema Meducal Store arson issue are free like Kennedy Agyapong was freed. Come on Okudzeto of the NPP. In my opinion if the U S Ambassador is not coming in to remind the nation who will care to know? Shame unto you especially Okudzeto now member of the council of state. Lovers of positions and govt salaries !!!!
