AUTHOR: PUSIGA NAABA ------ Dotse Malor, you were in bed with the NDC thieves. You were part of the inner circle of thieves. 122B debt left in 8 yrs. left by Mahama. What did you tell him Mahama. And this guy wants to be president again. Mahama, do you have a conscience or you take Ghanaians for stupid. Oh yes he takes Ghanaians for stupid. He said in his own words it takes a short while for Ghanaians to forget.

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. 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.”

The greatest threat of fighting corruption in our society is the hypocrisy of some Ghanaians. I know that our current president Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo-Addo, is known by many as a man of principle; one who keeps his words, and walks the talk. Recently when some people were cited by the BNI for investigation of various issues of financial malfeasance, people started criticizing the government of a witch hunting: They branded the investigation process as selective and directed mainly against the previous NDC appointees and supporters. Others described it as ethnocentric driven vendetta: but the same people forget what happened in Ghana during the revolutionary era. The reality is that crimes and criminal minded individuals have no party colors and could be from any of the two major political aisles. So if we draw a political picture in our fight against corruption, how are we going to fight the canker, which is so prevalent in our Socio Political dispensation: and the greatest threat to our survival as a nation and a society of equal rights and freedom of Justice which was the basis of our fight against colonialism by the founding fathers of our beloved nation? Nevertheless every right minded Ghanaian citizen believes that fighting corruption is our collective responsibility and needs to be tackled with a Pragmatic approach. Recently the president proposed that some of the best and effective tools for fighting corruption is to name and shame the culprits and to effectively prosecute the prospective and the would be criminals. In my opinion this might not be enough, why? Most of the corrupt government officials and other people who engage in malfeasance, do it as a result of societal and peer pressure; most of these people are morally weak that, they would try to appease their families and friends and therefore engage in every means possible to meet their demands to raise their status in their various communities and societies. As a result, it would be effective to shame these people in their various communities and in presence of their town folks than to totally incarcerate them to serve their full sentence. The best way to do this is for the legislature to pass a sweeping reforms of how people who are found culpable of financial malfeasance and economic sabotage against our nation should be sentenced. I am therefore suggesting that these convicts should be sentenced to serving a three-quarters of their total sentence in incarceration and the remaining one-quarter in Communal or Community Labor. The authorities must make sure that, these convicts perform the community labor in their home towns or in their neighborhood of residence; and also see to it that they dress in their prison jumpsuits to make a point of deterrence that " This Person is a Thief and a Bad Citizen and Therefore should be seen as the Bad nuts in the Society. I think considering our culture and the prestige that people want to maintain in their various communities, nobody will want to be in this dilemma. Do you think there can be any way of deterrence than this?

You! What is it that you don't understand about looting $1.2bn from the country?
It is not about party or who did what. It is CORRUPTION! Anyone caught should be severely punished. The country is suffering because of greedy, selfish and hopeless individuals who do not deserve any compassion.

why should EOCO waited until somebody like a Radio Host captain smart petitioned them before reading the Auditors general report?
or they have copies red it but are not interested ?
To me this need no more investigation it need actions, because the auditor general dont just compile these reports with their own statements
all the people involveed were called to account for the money Ghana government had given them.

to me this government should institute disciplines and sanities in our public institutions .
1.2b dollars in peoples pocket while going for 900m dollars IMF bail out is insanity

Capt Smart claims he has included the names of the "looters" in the documents. That's fine, but he should be prepared to substantiate his accusation with evidence and not mere hearsay and tell-tale stories. He should also be prepared to face the law as any person so named falsely and defamed should sue for heavy damages. Playing to the gallery in the midst of the euphoria and rhetoric of fighting corruption by Nana Addo, should not be a justification to lie and defame others. We wait to see.
