  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.”

  So this agglomeration of thieves, murderers, buffoons, hoodlums, brigands, miscreants and green-eyed monsters don't get it that their cover has been blown, and that they are as extinct as the dodo bird. The NDC as a party, is dead and will never ever come to power again in the country called Ghana.
  
  What do you take Ghanaians for? A multitude of imbeciles, abi? Who in their right mind would give power to useless tricksters and snake oil salesmen like the overly corrupt and incompetent john mahama, asiedu nketia, the cone head and that despicable eyesore of a sub human, koku anyidoho? Get lost before we pounce on you at your infamous 'Lecture Venue' to knock some hard sense into your empty skulls. Pesky fools!

  What sort of "Revolutionary nonsense" is this INTELLECTUAL MORON and these Atuguba thieves talking about? Can this hollow "lawyer" show Ghanaians any single remnant system this so-called JJ RAWLINGS "revolution" left Ghanaians? Can those who killed Ghanaians on the pretext of PROBITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY give Ghanaians any single evidence of Probity and ACCOUNTABILITY system they implemented which is functional today in Ghana? RAWLINGS just lied to Ghanaians just to bulldoze his way to acquire wealth.

  Is Raymond Atubuga divulging the obvious NDC's weaknesses under duress or what? NDC has been dealt a big blow by their own stalwart Dr. Raymond Atubuga. For years, the whole NDC: and its fraternities have been singing their main campaign and policy song " Nana Akuffo is a fake lawyer ": why were they saying that ? It's all because Nana Akuffo Addo is one of the veteran lawyers who were trained by one of the most distinguished and renowned law faculties in the world, THE MIDDLE TEMPLE: one the four faculties which constitutes the INNS OF THE COURT of England. This is the faculties that trained many of the world leaders and law practitioners around the world. The system was introduced around the 15 $ 14 centuries to train lawyers in the British Isles, this was before the law schools were introduced. So according to the research, the Inns, trained lawyers and set up the curricula for law programs in Britain even up to today. This is what the NDC shallow minded goons never understood, or tried to research; but jumped on the band wagon to make those stupid name calling. Now their own prospective presidential aspirant is calling for that faculties to be introduce in Ghana to train our future lawyers. It's definitely a good idea, but it sounds as if he lost his guard to make that statement; or is it because the NDC as an organization which thrives on propaganda, lies and manipulation to win numerous elections in Ghana is breaking away from their decades old traditions?

  That is revolutionary and a strong positive one at that, to put Ghana on the path of progress and prosperity.
  The NDC thieves of Ghana will face it, very fair and square to inject, and restore excellent sanity, dignity and integrity in the development space of Ghana. Nothing can stop or curtail or thwart that action. It is key, and it is happening.
