Action Movement of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has accused the former first lady, Lordina Mahama and the siblings of former President John Mahama of being the cause of NDC defeat in the 2016 elections. The spokesperson of the group, Kodzo Hamenya Keglo speaking at the Ghana International Press Centre said “while JM was preaching made in Ghana goods (such as shoes, batik and locally made clothes), the wife was doing the opposite by printing T Shirts from China which is a huge disappointment for Ghanaian printing companies.The 20 million pieces of T Shirts JM’s wife printed from China, could have been shared to party members to print them locally and would have created a lot of jobs for Ghanaians.”
JM’s brothers are the main reason why we lost the 2016 elections, collecting all contracts from Airport, Roads, Cocoa Board, GNPC, ECG , VRA, Ministry of Power and all major contracts in the country.“If you don’t see JM brothers, you cannot get a contract and if you see them, then you have to pay money before you get the contract, frustrating foreign contractors and companies by taking Ghanaian contractors for granted and creating enemies for the NDC party,”

###SOURCE: CLASSFMONLINE ------ The Government of Ghana is reviewing the debts incurred by the John Mahama administration to find out whether the loans were used for the purposes of which they were contracted, Senior Minister Yaw Osafo Marfo, has revealed. After the review of the debt situation, the findings will be made public to enable the Ghanaian people realise how their moneys were spent by the previous administration, Mr Marfo added. It is recalled that during the electioneering season the then main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) accused the Mahama government of excessive borrowing but with little to show for, an assertion the then governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) rubbished because they thought they had embarked on several infrastructural projects with those loans. ADVERTISEMENT Mr Marfo speaking during the National Policy Summit on Tuesday May 16 said revealed that the new government is investigating all the debts left behind by Mr Mahama. “We are working on the numbers, the ministry of finance gives us the bulk numbers. But they do not all emanate from one source, we have some sitting in energy, some sitting in SSNIT and we are examining all. As a government and we are doing it gradually and slowly because we must be accurate. “We want to be sure that whatever comes out finally is accurate. The government owes it as a duty to keep the nation informed about these debts and what it was used for.”

Well said, when people like you speak it makes sense. A looting brigade can also be legal, American call it lobbying..

Everything Nana Kweku Addo touches becomes a pig very fat. Look at face now just running and traveling to every country you can think of. Is that how to protect the public purse.

If you understand the word, "big" but cannot understand "fat", then I think something is wrong with your English language. You don't seem to know what synonyms and metaphors mean.

I think that by challenging Mr. Yamson for his sound observation about apparent government "inefficiency" clearly demonstrates your lack of understanding of a basic principle in administration. In every type of business, including government business, "doing more with less (resources)" is always beneficial than "doing less with more (resources). The former, is called "efficiency"; and the latter, "inefficiency". Obviously, the former is always the desirable option.

What Mr. Yamson is saying is that Ghana's government is visibly too top-heavy, too big, too fat, too expensive, and, therefore, "inefficient". And unless government outcomes ultimately prove otherwise, Mr. Yamson is absolutely right.
