  You suspend all contracts and still pay them their salaries? So they do nothing and gets payed. And this is how you tackle corruption? This president fool pass. He needs better advisors.

  From increases in salaries immediately after elections to the many scandals which are still unfolding some with thumprints of the president himself makes it difficult for Ghanaians to trust him. Take for instance the ADB MD for instance who was interdicted at the merchant bank and appointed by Mahamah as MD of ADB later.

  Maxwell Kofi Jumah who claims to have "concrete evidence" to support his allegation says, President Mahama is the architect behind the huge monies given to RLG and Zoomlion, both service providers to the Ghana Youth Employment and Entrepreneurial Agency (GYEEDA).
  CORRUPTION IS SIPHONING WANTED REVENUE AWAY FROM THE COFFERS OF THE STATE. MONIES NEEDED TO PAY NURSES, DOCTORS, TEACHERS, INCREASE POLICE SALARIES, BUILD MORE SCHS, HOSPITALS, ROADS, RAILWAYS ETC ARE ALL BEEN CHANNELED ILLEGITIMATELY INTO THE POCKETS OF UNDESERVING PPL. THIS HARMING THE GROWTH OF THE NATION.
  FOLKS, HOW CAN Salaries Of Ghanaian MPs BE THE 3rd Highest In The World? HIPC, 3RD WORLD NATION GHANA?...NO WAY!
  REDUCE THE SALARIES OF THESE USELESS , OVERINFLATED EGOS N USE THE CASH TO DEVELOP OUR RAILWAYS, HIGHWAYS, MARKETS, STADIUMS, POLICE FORCE, SECURITY AGENCIES.
  OH GH. TOO MUCH STRIFE, HUNGER. PPL ARE DISILLUSIONED. THEY DONT EVEN USE THEIR THINKING CAPS ANYMORE. THEY ACT AND BEHAVE LIKE ZOMBIES. ALL BECAUSE OF
  CORRUPTION N GREED FROM OUR SO CALLED POT BELLIED LEADERS.
  MOVIE: APOCALYPTO....."A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within."
  This is a great quote, but extremely problematic for the movie that follows.
  Durant's quote talks about corruption within being followed by external conquest, what we usually associate with the
  decadence that preceded the fall of Rome, but that does not apply to what happened to the Maya.
  Besides, even those Mesoamerican cultures that did not engage in human sacrifice were going to be immune to the myriad
  diseases that Europeans brought to the Americas and which decimates entire peoples.
  BILL GATES USING GMO FOODS, GENERIC DRUGS, CONDOMS, FLU AND TB SHOTS ON AFRICANS UNER THE GUISE OF HELPING THEM.
  IN ACTUALITY, HE IS ENGINEERING AND FOSTERING A REDUCTION AND A SLOW REMOVAL OF OUR POPULATIONS, SLOWLY. COMPOUND INTEREST!
  WE NEED A SYMPOSIUM TO ADDRESS WHY BRIBERY N CIRRUPTION STILL PERSISTS IN GH.
  WHY DO PPL ENGAGE IN BRIBERY N CORRUPTION?
  IS THE SALARY NOT ENUFF? FIX IT, PAY THESE WORKERS WELL
  IS IT GREED? IF YOU FEEL YOUR SALARY IS NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU, GO N GET 2ND JOB. DONT HARASS PPL FOR BRIBES.
  THIS IS UNLAWFUL AND A CRIME IN ITSELF. YOU DONT COME INTO PUBLIC OFFICE TO STEAL.
  YOU MUST COME THERE TO PROTECT GH'S INTERESTS, NOT YOUR PERSONAL INTEREST.
  WEN U BRING IN PPL ARE ARE NOT QUALIFIED FOR THESE CABINET JOBS, HAVE NO TRACK RECOD OR REPUTABLE PREVIOUS OCCUPATIONS. THEY WILL ROB THE STATE.
  THOSE IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR WHO EMBEZZLE FUNDS MUST BE CHARGED WITH CORRUPTION BY THE POLICE/STATE AND SHOULD BE PROSECUTED IN THE COURTS.
  MALAYSIA HAS A SIMILAR CONCEPT AND IT IS REAPING REWARDS. LOOK AT MALAYSIA'S POSITION ON THE GLOBAL CORRUPTION INDEX?
  IF GH STARTS PROSECUTING CORRUPT PUBLIC SECTOR WORKERS. MORE FOREIGN INVESTORS WILL COME IN BCOS THEY CAN COUNT ON THE RULE OF LAW TO WORK N BE FAIR.
  OUR PPL WILL HVE JOBS, TAXES WILL BE PAID, MORE DEVELOPMNT IN GH. ALL WILL BE HAPPY. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY THESE STUPID ANIMALS WILL EVER LEARN.
  ARREST THESE FOOLS, JAIL THEM UNTIL A HEAVY BOND/BAIL IS PAID. GATHER THE EVIDENCE AND TAKE THEM TO COURT. THE CHIEF JUSTICE MUST PUT THEIR FUCKING FOOT DOWN!
  CONFISCATE THEIR ASSETS AND PAY OFF THESE MISMANAGED PROJECTS WITH THEIR PROCEEDS FROM THE PUBLIC AUCTION.
  THEN JAIL AND PUBLISH THEIR NAMES IN THE MEDIA. NAME AND SHAME THEM. NKWASIAFOUR! NOT UNDER MY WATCH! AHA NA WO B3 DA!
  the pressing immediate problems confronting the countRY GHANA ARE - GALAMSAY EVERYWHERE, no electricity, no water, rife in corruption, high incompetence levels, etc.
  At the moment JOHN MAHAMA has NOT articulated any vision for the country and his governance. Ghanaians don't know what he stands for except his mere promises and lies.
  For sustainable socio-economic development Ghana needs ACCOUNTABLE GOVERNANCE not mere promises without action as characterised BY MAHAMA'S "leadership".
  Argentina’s president has announced increases of as much as 35 percent in cash handouts to the poor, students, pregnant women and retirees.
  President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner said the programs also will reach nearly 700,000 more children, expanding the social safety net and encouraging consumer spending this election year. She said the total cost of the subsidies would grow $7.8 billion a year.
  GH MUST FIND A SOLUTION TO THESE PRESSING ISSUES: high level corruption, CITIZEN IDENTIFICATION, insecurity, unemployment, LACK OF INFRASTRUCTURE and infrastructure decay as the major problems confronting africa's development.
  LOOK, YOU CAN BROADEN THE TAX BASE AS MUCH AS YOU WANT...UNREALIZED CAPITAL GAINS, GIFTS TO FAMILY/PERSONAL CHARITIES, TAXING THE RICH, ETC...YOU CAN CLOSE ALL THE LOOPHOLES ALL YOU WANT, BUT IF YOU DONT FIND A WAY TO DEAL WITH PUBLIC SECTOR CORRUPTION. U END UP PREACHING TO THE CHOIR.
  REDUCE GOVT SPENDING. LOWER PUBLIC SECTOR SALARIES. MORE MANUFACTURING. CORRUPTION COURTS. MORE PRIVATE SECTOR ROBUST BUSINESSES. LOWER IMPORTS AND FREE TRADE.
  WE NEED AN ATTITUDINAL CHANGE TO MAKE THE ECONOMY WORK IN GH.
  PROGRESS IS A MODEL OF PRODUCTIVE DESTRUCTION. U NEED TO MAKE MISTAKES BEFORE YOU SUCCEED. THE GOVT SHOULD PULL BACK AND ALLOW THE ECONOMY TO PROGRESS. TOO MUCH GOVT INTERVENTION STIFLES PROGRESS.
  06/17/2013: Just this morning, Montreal Mayor Michael Applebaum was arrested at his home by the city's anti-corruption police.
  "Tens of thousands" were paid in bribes in return for permit approvals police say.
  06/28/2013: A Brazilian congressman sentenced to 13 years in jail for corruption has given himself up after two days on the run. Natan Donadon is the first serving congressman to be jailed in Brazil since military rule came to an end in the 1980s.
  Mr Donadon was convicted three years ago of siphoning off nearly $4m (£2.6m) from the State Assembly in Rondonia, in Brazil's Amazon region.
  THE GH GOVT MUST CONTACT RAMON ANG, PRESIDENT OF SAN MIGUEL CORP IN THE PHILLIPINES. WE ARE SLEEPING IN GH, JOKER$!
  HE CAN ADVICE AND HELP GH WITH AIRPORT INFRASTRUCTURE, OIL EXPLORATION, ROAD, RAIL PROJECTS. VERY INTELLIGENT MAN

  ARE WE GOING TO LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES AND FIX THEM OR ARE WE GOING TO BLINDLY LOOK AWAY N CONTINUE TO WALLOW IN MEDIOCRITY?
  Most of the over $541 million revenue received from oil in 2012 was drained by Government due to poor planning and spending decisions rendering most of the projects incomplete.
  Compared to its African neighbors like Malawi, Tanzania and the DRC, Ghana’s cost overruns are at least 18 percent higher.

  The fight against corruption is a serious task that must be accomplished by all means necessary. How can we prosper as a nation and also continue to build upon our democracy and allow corruption to be institutionalised in our collective psyche and national institutions?

  Mr. President, this is directive, controlling and preventive measures but what happened to punitive measures. these measures are typical example of spare the rod and spoil the child or let me put it this way "let sleeping dogs lie" how can you fight corruption with measures that do not punish the culprits. one it was a mistake to assign such issues to committees why me have constitutionally mandated offices to deal with such issues. add punitive measures and put those involved behind bars if found guilty then we will hail you as fighting corruption. people of higher position should not put their hands where it does not belong, set the tone and go after everyone irrespective of which regime and political party.
