  Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia made these comments while addressing students of the Jasikan College of Education on Tuesday.
  
  “What is most shocking (and also a clear manifestation of a problem in economic management) is that His Excellency President Mahama clearly does not know the value of exactly how much this NDC government has borrowed in the last eight years. It is so sad that this has even become an issue for debate. Sadly, the two public comments President Mahama has recently made on Ghana’s public debt are patently false and I am sure if His Excellency was properly briefed, he would not subject himself to such embarrassment,” he added.

  “I will provide a simple example to explain this point. Assume that the exchange rate of the cedi to the dollar today is 1:1 (i.e.,. One cedi equals one dollar). If the government of Ghana borrows GhC 100 today, then the dollar equivalent of the additional debt stock would be $100. Therefore, if the government wants to undertake projects with the loan, it can do $100 worth of projects.
  
  Assume that four years down the road the exchange rate depreciates to 4 cedis to one dollar. This will mean that the GHC 100 that was on the books will now be valued as $25 dollars. This will be the book value of the debt in dollar terms. Notwithstanding the impact of depreciation of the cedi on the dollar value of the debt, it does not mean that four years ago the government did not borrow the equivalent of $100,” he indicated.

  Rawlings spent 19 good years destroying Ghana when other nations were educating their children in science and technology, the result, a Ghanaian government that can't even produce a common brochure for events.

  Most Ghanaians can only help their family. You need extremely deep pockets to do something in Ghana. Take care of your family first and set up a kiosk for the niece or nephew who shows promise. End of story.

  Okay, we will work hard in the snow and bring our resources to be stolen by thieves parading as government officials! The days when people thought Ghana was home is over. Home is where one finds peace and opportunities to develop. Why are people in government stealing to acquire property overseas if they thought there was any hope for the country? We are not idiots. All my children are Americans and they are not coming to Ghana. Why should they if even their parents who grew up over there could not stay there?

  Please madam Ambassador, tell your lazy government to stop the naked stealing and massive corruption. Do you think those in the diaspora are stupid? People bust their as** to earn a living and accumulate capital. You want them to invest in a corrupt system that is only interested in reaping where they haven't sown? STOP KIDDING YOURSELF! Charity begins at home. Let these clowns clean up their act, put in place a system that will encourage those in diaspora to invest. Until then, HOME IS WHERE YOU HAVE YOUR PEACE!

  The government is only interested in using skills, contributions of diaspora but not our rights to vote.
  Why our franchise has been denied. When is the ROPA LAW coming into effect to allow the diaspora to vote?

  How do you lure people to come to Ghana whilst some teachers are not paid for four years of service in the education sector? It is madness.

  Oh mother Ghana, I wise I can be of good use to you but our politician has let you down it's all about them. Madam ambass. I do not know if you are living on the next human plane to say such a thing for diaspora to bring their skills while we at the diaspora can't even get a common passport renewal. I guess you should know what's going on before making statements or if you know about this then you are buffoon.

  Please for God sake never hear from these evil people. I am secure in USA with the best education, mind and money. All my brothers and sisters died. First, Rawlings and the with killed them. We are educated Aliens who monitor Ghana and Africa. Please don't go to Ghana. Go and visit and see their stupidity. It will be only 2weeks at most 4weeks. I bet you will come back to the world of security and a peace of being.
