  PROF. ADEI FIRES SALVOS!!!!! COURTESY: CLASSFMONLINE.COM ----- The various corruption allegations surfacing are proof that the Mahama administration was far more corrupt than previously thought, former Rector of the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA), Prof Stephen Adei has said at a Business Roundtable organised by Yamson and Associates in Accra on Wednesday, 31 May. “Do you know why many people want to be politicians? It’s because that is the quickest way to get rich in this country,” Prof Adei said, adding: “We are yet to know the facts because we are not the investigators but the types of things that are being revealed about the amount of corruption [are mind-boggling].” ---- So far three appointees of former President John Mahama are being investigated by the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) for allegedly diverting some $4million belonging to the National Communications Authority (NCA). The three appointees, according to Information Minister Mustapha Hamid, conspired with a private citizen to commit the act. The former Mahama appointees being investigated, as named by Mr Hamid in an interview with Joy FM’s Kojo Yankson on Wednesday, 24 May, include Mr Eugene Baffoe-Bonney, former Board Chairman of the NCA; Mr William Tevie, former Chief Executive Officer of the NCA; and Alhaji Osman, former Deputy National Security Coordinator. Their conspirator, according to Mr Hamid is one George Oppong. Mr Hamid said they engaged in the graft in connection with a contract between the Mahama administration and an Israeli company, NSO Group Technology Limited, in which the latter was to supply eavesdropping gadgets worth $6 million. The equipment were meant to help the government of Ghana monitor the calls of suspected terrorists. In the course of the transaction, Mr Hamid said a local agent – Infraloks Development Limited – charged $2million as facilitation fee, bringing the total amount to $8million. According to Mr Hamid, National Security, which did not have the funds for the equipment, allowed the NCA, which supervises the use of such equipment, to fund the project. The NCA top officials, he revealed, withdrew $4 million from the NCA’s kitty but gave only $1million to the Israeli firm. The surplus, according to Mr Hamid, was deposited into the personal accounts of Mr George Oppong, who fronted as an agent of Infraloks Development Ltd. He said Alhaji Osman orchestrated the entire deal. According to Mr Hamid, demands by the Israeli firm to be paid the $5 million balance after the Mahama administration lost power in the December 2016 elections prompted the new Akufo-Addo government to probe the transaction after which the graft was detected. Mr Hamid said: “They took $4 million from NCA accounts and paid $1 million to the Israeli company and then deposited $3 million in the accounts of the local agent, one Mr George Oppong, and proceeded to share the $3million among themselves.”

  Mahana should go to illegal mining areas and he will see how he has allowed his Chinese call girls, the NDC Chinese prostitutes done to our forest environment.Trump stood by his principle. Does thief Mahama has principles. His principles are stealing, looting and having sex with women who come his way. Don't listen to this corrupt man called slick John Mahama.

  Trump appeared so naive in his way of thinking. Not a quality you would expect of a leader.

  Does that prevent him from stating his opinion about a public matter on his Twitter page or Facebook? Even u, an obvious non-entity, believe you can have and state ur opinion - no?.

  Where from this one too, is it the fault of J.M when your current president is incompetent to the extend he doesn't know what is happening around him globally and even locally. All that he knows is One district One factory, one this one that. If they should ask him why captain maxwell Adam mahama was lynched, his answer will be free SHS. leave J.M alone, people are talking sense and you are here talking rubish like your current commander-in-chief of the invincible forces.

  Do you and Mahama understand the issues? If you do then you cannot think or do not have critical thinking skills. Trump campaigned on pulling out of the deal. We voted for him to do so as we want to tap out energy resources ti make life better for middle America. He unlike your Mahama has the guts to fulfill his promise. End of story, we are not ready to support your CORRUPTION and entitlements at the expense of Americans. You can go and burn the sea as throwing tantrums will not do.

  Please President Maham please. This is why we have Ghanaian peacekeepers in Lebanon,Congo, South Sudan, Gambia and elsewhere when we don't peace in our country.
  
  What do you want to learn from this? The US, and the Europeans are always doing it the same way but after they have gotten what they want, they turn around and everybody on board to clean their mess.
  
  When China was developing, they never signed any global pact on climate or curbing anything which will not favor their development. Now having become who they are today, are talking of global leadership? President Mahama please. African leaders have proven they are not thinkers or study how others do it.
  
  Next time I will discuss the IGNORANCE of African leadership with you.

  Trump is doing what he said he would do. Amercans knew his position on this, they liked it & voted for him. Here in Ghana the politicians,like Mahama, promise to get to the moon. When they come to power, their main aim is to fill their pockets. Trump is fulfilling his campaign promise just as Akuffo Addo is fulfilling his by implementing the free SHS policy. Leave Trump alone. Americans support him on this

  Donald Trump is for the interest of Americans unlike you Mahama. There is no way he will sit over decisions that will destroy America's nterest. Unlike you Mahama who will bring Chinese galamsey to destroy your country and poison your people with aqua regia and mercury. Donald is interested in creating more jobs not redistributing America's wealth. Leadership is earmed through economic growth and innovation not just showimg up and talking. You spent 8 years running your country down. Looting and pilfering to the detriment of POOR Ghanaians. You have no moral right to talk about America and what Americans want. We do not want the agreement, it is against our intetest. Foolish man how do you expect America to reduce emissions by 20% while CHINA the number one polluter reduces by zero and not to talk about the trillions of dollars to pay for caps. We are not interested in the deal, if it works for you go ahead and work with it. But first, deal with the galamsey mess that has killed your nephew. Criminally minded "odwanfunu" Mahama.
