  How about the unceasingly corruption and dubious judgement debt in the public sector? The govt must fight corruption to the fullest and stop wearing it a party colour. What have we heard about Mr Abugah Pele and co's GYEEDA saga? What has happened to Elvis Afriyie and co's world cup goody? No wonder that Prof. Yankah described the Flagstaff house as a save haven for corrupt officials. Give workers what is due them and concentrate on fighting corruption. Remember you did not include IMF in your 2012 campaign message but why now? A word to the wise is enough.

  Yes you are right Ofosuhene........It so sad that Ghana allows such massive corruption like Wayoome case and GEEDA to prevail and then goes The IMF for such scant loan that would do no good for the country but rather worsen the situation.The IMF should rather force Mahama to preventor cut corruption but not wages or public sector employment that is presently nothing to write home about...interms of wages only import duties collected at the Tema Harbour only cuold pay government wage bill if honesty prevails . On a serious note , if Ghana and Africa really want to have any significant economic growth we must opt out of this neo-colonialist destructive system .Mahama must stand out boldly like Buhari to end corruption and is every other nation in Africa....just imagine Nigeria alone not able to account $20 billion oil rrvenue...... Africa must have her own AFRICAN MONETARY FUND and manufacturing and production of consumer goods must step up while we band importation of garbage used items such as used clothes ,electronics and some types of cars and trucks ,new and used furniture and so on.....Ghana needs economic thinkers and philosophers in order for us to go forward.........
