ABRONYE DC SPEAKS ----- “I think some politicians especially the NDC members are witches and should immediately be sent to the Gambaga witch camp because they are no different from them. “So the NDC members expect the NPP government to laugh because of Ibrahim’s conduct. Just imagine the huge money involved, even the person in the middle of this issue has said he will pay the money and so I don’t understand why those around him are fighting for him. “A person who does not have the nation at heart has issued dud cheques to an institution which is against the laws of the country. “Our party is in power now and we have the majority hand in parliament and so if the NDC are not comfortable when people are punished for squandering states money then the majority should make a law that will see to it that all those who are against such act and are always talking about political witch hunting are transferred to the Gambaga witch camp because they are all witches and don’t want the country to move forward” he said.

Ibrahim Mahama is a crook. He knew what he was doing He wasn't prepare to pay his workers contribution to Social Security Trust fund. He thought his brother, slick John Mahama will be president of Ghana forever. He thought he could hide behind his corrupt brother presidency and do whatever hw wanted.
That is mentality of notorious NDC party official. Whatever wrong or sin they committed, they did it with impunity. They considered Ghana as the business entity of NDC party. They did not think of Ghana as a nation.
Where did stupid Asiedu Nketia and his NDC officers get bags of Ghana money to influence and buy the election. They just took any money they wanted from the treasury. Even in the primitive society, one could not take communal assets and spent they way he wanted.
Ghanaians will be shocked and they will come to know real notorious NDC as their crimes are uncovered everyday. NDC party has no love for Ghana. They don't think of Ghana. All what these unpatriotic NDC thieves and looters think is what they can steal and loot from Ghana. They have their stolen money and assets hidden in foreign banks. They show no remorse for their unholy activities they committed when they were in power.
Knowing what we know now about this notorious NDC party, one must ask; what happened that Ghanaians voted for these thieves to govern Ghana? What we have to do is that, it is not too late to take our country and build a prosperous Ghana for all. We should never vote NDC member to parliament again. Now, the message is sinking into Ewes. I know that with time, they will know that their NDC party does not have Ghana at heart. NDC did not do anything in Volta Region to help them. Why would Ewes have to continue voting for group of NDC tugs who can not perform and bring development projects in their region?
Let us all help to kill and bury notorious NDC party forever. They don't deserve to be our leaders. No moral person in NDC party. That is my message to all patriotic Ghanaians.
God bless our Republic.
God bless our President, Nana Akuffo Addo.
God bless patriotic Ghanaians.

Teachers, when they have not received their Salaries for years still pay when they go to the Hospital. Pay for Water and Electricity and Pay Taxes on consumables they borrow to buy.
Why would a President give his Brother Contracts that no money had been set aside for? Because they wanted to CIRCUMVENT the spending CAP imposed by the IMF. If the contracts had gone to TENDER there would be a SET ASIDE for it in the Budget.

Ibrahim Mahama is trying to twist the whole situation to his advantage by playing a victim here but literally this is a real graft. You deducted the amount involved from your employees paychecks and held on to the said amount without paying the workers any interest for holding on to their money. He is also fleecing the SSNIT for refusing to pay the contributions on time even though he has already deducted the money from the employees paycheck. So he is ostensibly taking advantage of both the workers and the SSNIT simultaneously. What a criminal intent.

How can the people envy thieves and crooks who have done damage to their country?

No one invests and walk about with money in his pockets. He expected some payments and the payments delayed.

They have been hard at work, especially on WhatsApp and in private briefings, doing all they can to discredit IMANI’s campaign to persuade the public to view the deal as the “greatest swindle of the Ghanaian state in at least two decades”.
Since our responses have been fragmented across different posts, discussion threads, and ripostes across multiple platforms, we have been advised to assemble them all in one place in order to vindicate our campaign. We now have the pleasure and duty to proceed to do so.
Let us take just the main arguments that are being canvassed by pro-AMERI activists.
They have said that IMANI’s analysis of the financial terms of the deal is shallow because it assumes that such a deal can only be assessed in one way, when in fact different methods can show that it is a very fair deal.
IMANI is underestimating the cost of installing the turbines and exaggerating the profits made by the middle-men (brokers) because it does not understand IRR, NPV, and Discount Rate analysis, they insist.
How do we plead to this charge? Firstly, no one, at least, disputes the cost of the TM2500+ mobile aeroderivative gas turbines that were bought (in actual fact, the TM2500+ is the composite ‘power plant in the box’; the turbine itself in that box is the LM2500 aeroderivative engine).
And that is because no one can. Right there in Annex A to the agreement, its supplier and specifications are fully provided. The machine was acquired from APR, a recommended supplier of GE, by the brokers. APR openly lists the price of these machines. There is thus no dispute that the machines together cost $220 Million, and most likely less if bought in bulk.
As to why Ghana had to go to AMERI for AMERI to go to METKA for METKA to go to APR in order to acquire GE equipment, let’s leave that aside for now. Anybody with the most basic training knows that if something costs $22 million each and you want to acquire ten of them you would normally be entitled to a discount.
You can prove the point by walking to Kingdom Stationery and ordering 10 workstations at a go. I assure you a 15% discount off the catalogue price would be yours, but let’s even assume that the original procurers were obtuse enough to pay $220 million.
(Indeed in the World Energy Outlook database, per MW capital cost for gas turbine power is $500,000, so the $900,000 implied by the catalog price is precisely what you expect to see at catalogue price level, but let’s not over-flog the point.)
The $220 million is the engineering cost. Everyone knows that even if a machine, such as this one, has been designed as turnkey (literally, buy today, turn the key, and voila it starts working) one still need specialists to install, test and then commission it.
One also needs to plug it into whatever network is supposed to receive the output the machine generates. Also if somebody buys something on your behalf they deserve to be paid what in Ghana is called T&T.
Note however that in this case, unlike the case in a normal power plant, all that was needed was to integrate the turbines with the national grid equipment.
In fact, GE offers to install the machines for you in eleven days or even three days if as a user you don’t need a test run! You don’t have to have more than a JHS education to understand that what we are talking about here is not the building of Akosombo dam and township.
It is literally assembling a bunch of gizmos for cooling, firing up, and transmission of the generated power into the national grid.
As far as the transformers, civil works, utilities and sewers/tubing/tunnelling are concerned, Government of Ghana was responsible for bearing that cost. Supposing you bought a generator plant for installing in your factory for $22,000.
How much will you pay to install it? In Ghana’s case, continuing this analogy, we paid $14,000 because somehow we felt that even that part of the project should be handled by someone else and be billed as additional. But that is not even the main quarrel here.
Many anti-AMERI activists are not even taking the deal makers to task for paying $140 million on top of the $220 million to install a plant that from our analysis of several deals involving a EPC contractor cost of procurement, installation and commissioning almost never cross 10% of the total cost.
We are tearing our hair out because the government then went ahead and paid AN ADDITIONAL $150 million on top of things, citing something called ‘NPV analysis’ and ‘Balance of Plant’.
Yet, all one has to do is take a look at Annex E of the agreement and it is clear that the main core of this ‘balance’ that needs to be added to the turbines for the system to be complete and operational comprises merely of the exhaust module, the air intake nozzles and the data logging platform in the control room, all of these being assembly units clearly stated as standard and pre-packaged with the turbines!
All that is required, external to the weatherproof package and its trailer mounts, and in lieu of a complex structure, is the piping for coolant and fuel filtration and transmission.
So the “balance of plant” essentially refers to the fuel and coolant (‘demineralised water’) storage and dispensing system/controls that can be acquired for a few hundreds of thousands of dollars; and the earthing and electrical cabling works.
We are not talking here about giant buildings; or treatment systems; fire control was provided; ventilation is integrated, as is instrumentation; and security and fuel logistics handling is minimal because the plant is housed at the existing Takoradi Thermal Power station and shares its facilities.
And at any rate, the government of Ghana was billed separately for civil works, drainage and sewerage etc! So what serious ‘balance of plant’ are we talking about here exactly?
For a project that the manufacturer of the system says can take between 3 and eleven days from start to finish, we decided that for the work done in acquiring the plants and installing them (EPC), we will pay the brokers 65% of the total equipment cost due to our unwillingness to procure our own financing and then hire any EPC contractor for a few hundreds of thousands of dollars to commission the plants.
Anti-AMERI activists are willing to accept this $140 million dollar charge as pure financing costs (since the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning activities in this project are hardly of serious note).
And had we left things there, the NPV analysis using an 8% discounting rate would have netted a decent aggregate profit of $72 million cool profit for the dealmakers, showing a 32% return in 5 years. Indeed, readers are welcome to take a look at how reasonable this rate of return is in a period of serious constraint in the energy plant financing industry. It is important to bear in mind when reviewing these calculations that cashflow from the investment is assured on a monthly basis; a graduated interest rate structure is required to fully appreciate the fixed cashflow; AMERI sought and secured exemptions from ALL domestic taxes in relation to the project; we are in a period of unprecedented low global interest rates; and there is a standby letter of credit to cover any defaults under every conceivable scenario in the one-sided agreement that was foisted on the Government of Ghana. AMERI enjoyed all of this PLUS a Performance Bond too (yes).
In fact, under the agreement, AMERI gets paid whether or not fuel from the government to produce electricity is forthcoming, and regardless of faults in the national grid.
It is easy to see how generous the deal at this level would have been when one benchmark against reference data globally.
The discount rate in Turkey itself is 5.25%. But the Ghanaian dealmakers felt that such prudence would not earn them any applause for being spectacular. So they upped the ante, and agreed to an additional $150 million on top of this for AMERI.
The party that did not procure the equipment, install a pipe, or turn even a valve on, but rode on the back of METKA and APR to secure the equipment and on PPL and Engineers & Planners to install and turn it on, gets a cool $122 million in NPV terms just for having swag! Frankly, that is where NPV analysis leads us.
And it sure as night follows day exonerates no one. In fact if we use as the discounting rate the cost of borrowing in the local USD credit market and compute the NPV of the margin for AMERI on the deal (relying on our generous EPC project value of $250 million), we get exactly $150 million! That is precisely the amount we overpaid if we measure against the alternative of borrowing from a consortium of local banks to buy the plant outright and getting the authorised supplier, APR, to install and commission. Any which way pro-AMERI analysts dice this, a $150 million loss cannot be argued away. For further clarity, see below a table providing comparative lending rates for various projects in the energy sector. But pro-AMERI analysts seem to believe that they have one ace up their sleeves. In some of the briefings, we have seen the argument appears to be that AMERI is producing cheap power and that cannot be the case if the capital cost of the plant is bloated (though as you can see from the other table attached, the capital cost is indeed the highest in Ghana). Fair point: how can an exorbitantly priced machine produce cheap trinkets? When some of us first heard this argument, frankly, we thought it was a joke. On top of selling the machines to Ghana at an exorbitant price and compelling us to provide fuel to power it, AMERI then went ahead and inserted a cool 0.5 US cents per kilowatt hour charge for the power that we shall be producing from equipment that we are paying for using fuel that we are supplying, netting them a neat $16.6 million a year! And though the agreement says that the plant gets handed over to the Government of Ghana if we keep up with all our payments, they still managed lock the power tariffs in the post-transfer period in an obvious ploy to ensure that even after handing the plant over to us they can still run the show (hence the efforts to get another plant at the Takoradi Power Station handed over to them). The combined tariff of 62 pesewas per kilowatt-hour that AMERI itself discloses in the agreement may be compared with the 2016 August Bulk Generation Charge that PURC has allowed other power plants in Ghana to charge on average: 35.97 pesewas! AMERI is thus, in fact, nearly 75% more expensive than the average power plant in Ghana. And we haven’t even factored in the cost of fuel. Consider that without a revision of the agreement, AMERI will be operating what is, in essence, a separate price-gouging regime in the country, in defiance of the PURC, that shall see Ghanaians paying almost twice for its power if we don’t act soon to shave off some of the $102 million a year it has managed to squeeze out of our diffident State. In view of all the foregoing analysis, IMANI’s simple view is that the Government of Ghana should not relent until it has managed to shave off two million dollars from each monthly payment. Duty calls on every Ghanaian to join this campaign

So, this wannabe businessman expect Ghanaians to believe him?
What a sham and what a sorry excuse for businessman.
Unless I am missing something here, but this payment is to satisfy a company's statutory obligation owed.
And it's not just to the Ghana government but also to the people who worked for him -
his employees.
I just pray that he has a great succession plan in place for when the Gov't is done with him he may have to sell his company for pennies on the dollar.
And, that would be his own fault- a self inflicted wound, if you ask me.
Let pray , however, for the government's institutions to be stedfast in it's dealings with all manner of persons and businesses , and that's regardless of which party is in power.
And, that's spelt, good governance.

Does Ibrahim have competent lawyers and financial advisers? SSNIT deductions are not the employers money so why should the employer use it? Mahama and his cronies were bent to steal big from the state and poor workers. This money belongs to the workers. By not paying to SSNIT the employees are denied their contributions which is going to affect them adversely in the future. Let us set example once in this country.

THE QUESTION IS: IS IBRAHIM THE ONLY GUY RUNNING A COMPANY IN GHANA. HE SEEM TO BE DIABOLICAL AND NOT TRUTHFUL IN ALL HIS DEALINGS - FROM MERCHANT BANK SAGA, IMPORT DUTIES TO NON PAYMENT OF SSNIT CONTRIBUTION. SO ESHUN THINK ...

Eshun, the printer. Why insult the NPP?
Ibrahim knows what to do so leave it as is it.
John Dramani Mahama has disgraced the Rawlings NDC Party a very big-time! Why! ...because, his aim of becoming a president after he cleared Mills out of his way was to be rich over-night through fair and foul means.

For starters I don't think you are C.Y. ANDY-K(Andy Kwawukume), so lets get that out of the way. Secondly the Rawlings-led NDC became corrupt, birthed the babies with sharp teeth and had underlings who continued the bad gover ...

You're right on point. Mahama has let the course of ndc down. He disgraced all northerners. Ndc needs new faces to deal with this mess.
IF THEY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO LOOT GHANA BLIND AND APPARENTLY DIDN'T DO IT UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE I KNOW, THE ARE CLEAN!
If this guy was looting Ghana, then they will have money to pay these debts hands down. Stop molesting this young man
Another fool.
Not until witches stop bewitching people, they will always be hunted.
Ibrahim Mahama is trying to twist the whole situation to his advantage by playing a victim here but literally this is a real graft. You deducted the amount involved from your employees paychecks and held on to the said amount ...

CRIMINAL MAHAMAS - THIEVES
Of course, if he (NDC) had won elections 2016, none of this would have come to light. Just last December he was prepared to spend anything, including bribing bugri naabu with ghs500,000 plus a Mitsubishi pajero to win electio ...

He is ready to bribe Nabu instead of paying SSNIT and duties
Only a fool like the npp goons will believe the phoney story of lies from bugri naabu, the arse-licker
How can he give money to that bush man? Brainless talk! You are very stupid say yes
LIKE BROTHER ......
You know the amazing thing about these unscrupulous elements,they have excuse for every dubious thing that they do,it is unbelievable.
Why must we allow a stupid fool like Ibrahim Mahama to fool the people of Ghana?
You are not prof. lungu
An idiot like this to take advantage of us! Is insane....My God!
So we're you waiting to sue before you pay and seems when did you received that your so Called expected delay of money on contract ? All this stealing of the nation is what you call richest?
What does Ibrahim Mahama take us for? Was he not paying his workers?
Fact is, he is required by law to pay the SSNIT contributions concurrently as he pays his workers.
The SSNIT payments are deductions from the workers' ...

Listen to another Magyatu!!! Coconut head. Ekow , low-minded craeture.

Default is default, nothing else. And he defaulted because his equally corrupt brother was the president.

SSNIT is only concerned with contributions so they can invest, benefit thereof and pay small pensions. The man
has huge receivables from the government but SSNIT is not interested in that; they dont care about it. Not fair
Rich people in Ghana get rich at the expense of the poor
Ne
But base on the documents it shows clearly the man is not owing SSNIT. Cheque the paper attached with the payment schedule. The outstanding balance is 0.038 and amount paid is GHC 2.7m. it's unfair to him.
SSNIT and Nana Akufo Addo must come again. The NPP ,after they were sworn into office made it seems there were no initial agreement as to how Ibrahim's company is going to pay some of these debts owed by his company.Shameles ...

Ibrahim must be employing a lot of people to be paying this amount of ssnit, I hope he doesn't end up down sizing. This will create a problem for government as they are still trying to create jobs for the citizens.
