Danquah Institute should be fair in their journalism or whatever on such revelations as they have absolutely kept quiet on Kronfuor Kuffuor's corrupt dealings in the Switzerland of his share from the EO's Oil Fraud.
Where are the Kwaku Bankus et al who went to Switzerland and the Norway on the ticket of the Mafia himself (Kufuor) to investigate Rawlings but after finding nothing to do with Rawlings ended up eating rotten chicken and chips?
Danquah institute must also come clear and explain to Ghanaians what Business has the Uncle, Kuffuor the Kronfuor who also doubles as the Darkest Tall John and resembles last Night has to do in the Switzerland??

Thank you Queen, exactly two wrongs don't make a right but I can tell you sometimes, someday two wrongs make a right.
To right the wrongs here, it is incumbent upon the hypocrites to delve deep into what is causing all these wrongs and Kronfuor Kuffuor comes into this equation to correct the wrongs.If you eliminate Kuffuor Kronfuor from this equation, you get an imbalance.

GH IS ONE OF THE WORLDS TOP GOLD PRODUCERS. YET 25PERCENT OF ITS POPULATION LIVE UNDER 1 DOLLAR A DAY
Today's gold price = 1658.22 US
12 Troy Ounces in a pound x 3000? lbs.= 36,000 oz
1.5 tons of gold is worth 36,000 oz x 1658.22 = 59,695,920 USD.
MAHAMA, WHERE IS THE MONEY? MAHAMA IS INDIRECTLY HELPING IRAN DODGE ITS UN SANCTIONS. THE UN WONT BE HAPPY WITH GHANA OR MAHAMA
IF GH HASNT ALREADY BEEN PAID FOR THIS. THEN DONT EXPECT THE UN TO GET INVOLVED IN THIS MATTER
THAT MEANS, GH HAS LOST OUT ON ALL THIS MONEY....DUE TO OUR THE GARGANTUAN STUPIDITY OF OUR LEADERS, AGAIN....
FOR THE RECORD, IRAN CONDUCTS A LOT OF BUSINESS WIH TURKEY IN THE FORM OF OIL AND GAS.
SO WE NOW UNDERSTAND WHY TURKEY HAS POSITIONED THEMSELVES IN THIS GOLD SEIZURE ISSUE.
NEARLLY $2 BILLION WORTH OF GOLD WAS SENT TO DUBAI BY IRAN. SUCH TRADES HELP IRAN ESCAPE UN/WESTERN SANCTIONS AGAINST
IRAN. THESE SANCTIONS WERE IMPOSED BY THE UN OVER IRAN'S NUCLEAR PROGRAM. BY USING GOLD, IRAN CAN DODGE THESE SANCTIONS...
SO WHY IS GH HELPING THEM. MAHAMA, WAT DO U HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURELF ABOUT THIS? YOU DEY TORCH?

The Danquah Institute has raised very important questions regarding this gold seizure in Turkey. It is sad that since the case was reported no state official or parliamentarian has raised the matter in the interest of Ghana. Is it because Ghana is trying to avoid publicity on evading US sanctions against Iran?
It is very interesting that President Mahama's first trip outside Africa was to Turkey. Was it possible that he went there to sort out the gold seizure problem? Where is the gold now?
This is a matter that MPs should have raised in parliaments and asked the relevant Acting Minister to come to parliament to answer questions on the matter. Are they all quiet because they might end up embarrassing themselves because Ghana will offend one of its major allies, the US?
Whatever the situation, the government should make a public statement to clarify this matter because it is damaging Ghana's image, especially the fact that the gold was destined for Iran. The earlier the better.

Turkey lifts ban on Iranian gold cargo plane
TEHRAN, Jan. 19 (MNA) – Turkey has reportedly lifted ban on a Turkish cargo plane carrying Ghana’s commitments to Iran in gold, which had been locked up for lacking proper documents.
Reports said that Turkish authorities fined the plane $ 1910 for stopping at Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport on the ground of missing documents. It was carrying Ghana’s 1.5 tons of gold to Iran as Ghana’s financial commitments to Iran.
Anatolia News Agency, Turkish official news agency had it that ULS, the cargo owner would pay $ 67 for missing documents and $ 1910 for stopping at Ata Turk Airport.
The cargo was bound for Iran to deliver the gold to Iran. It was to stop at Dubai airport.
US and EU sanctions on Iranian banking sector have limited bank payments of countries monetary commitments to Iran and they barter gold for Iranian oil and gas.
Erdogan government’s behavior reveals that Turkey’s claim to independently make decisions is no longer credible, and it prefers western interests to friendship with neighboring countries.
Iran supplies 45 percent of Turkish oil and gas demands, and it pays its commitments in gold barter.
17 days ago, Turkey locked up the Cargo plane for missing documents. It is not clear why Turkey has fined it instead of paying compensation for stopping the cargo for 17 days.
