I enjoyed your piece. The thievery must stop and the rule of law must take hold. Sorry to hear that Sam Aboah passed away. Is he the same Aboah from Prempeh? He was brilliant. What a terrible loss.

At this point in my life there is no difference between the NDC and the NPP, they are all nothing but a bunch thieving bastards.

I feel sorry for the NDC though. They were given the opportunity to govern Ghana because a lot of people believed the NPP is too corrupt. But what do we see? A government either unwilling to govern or incapable of governing. I tend to believe the later.

The level of indiscipline in our today's society is out of this world. As the write correctly points out, we are a people without a locus. We do whatever comes to our mind anywhere and anytime.

I AM BEGINNING TO BELIEVE THAT ANIMALS BEHAVE BETTER THAN GHANAIANS.

I have said it a million times and will repeat it again. For now, with the level of education and black mans inability to for follow rules and regulation is clear to us that Western style democracy wont work in Africa.

eish, we need a serious revolution and any voice who disagrees must be counted among the bunch of thieves that are hellishly killing Ghana. all those rats and foolish idiots calling themselves honorables must exit this life in-order to give birth to the Ghana we aspire and hope for. i support any revolution that comes to overthrow and purify this wind of win and rob culture that is fastly eroding Ghana. is that what our national anthem and pledge say? no wonder most of us these days do not know the very letters of our national symbols.guys come out and speak on these issues. these stupid idiots are not serving our nations interest.

Instead what do we see? A leadership of a president that sees it fit and appropriate to appoint mainly tribesmen to powerful positions while at the same time giving out of college, inexperienced,(never done a job in any corporate life) boys with Cvs that have nothing to write home about, into ministerial positions.

What do we expect? Ministers who are so incompetent that they cannot even bother to go over their own notes before publicly speaking to the international press, only to admit that 'this is not my speech' how disgraceful and embarrassing can it get?

This is what the 'ghost voters' in connivance with Atuguba and company gave Ghanaians and we have accepted it so at this stage there is no point in moaning and distressing ourselves. This is what we asked for and we have got it.
The NPP are neither saints. Under their watch they were dishing out benefits like confetti to their proteges and cohorts; to be fair at least they left Ghanaians with something to remember; some tangible achievements.

The NDC however, have gone full blast with planning, looting and sharing, putting Ghana into extreme debt, yet nothing to show for. They even have to borrow to pay workers; They have produced nothing and achieved nothing except spend, spend, and spend for NDC ,their relatives, friends, and anyone who insults and makes most noise.

After 5 years in power they are still blaming NPP for their woes though they have been the majority in parliament. When they run out of excuses they blame the election petition. The Bitter Ghana Agenda is upon us. The better ghana agenda was a smokescreen.

GHANA AND GHANAIANS ARE MOST TO BE PITIED!!!

I share your pain and anguish in writing this piece. I feel the only solution to curb this rampant corruption and abuse is for we the people to rise up and revolt. Revolution style big time to get raid of the ROT. Not the Rawlings kind of revolution because his was just hatred for certain tribe and nothing else.

Egypt, Lybia, Tunisia, Brazil protests is what we need in Ghana. Go to parliament, get the politicians out; give them a good beating, put anyone of them who has stolen from Ghana on trial and when found guilty shoot the bastards.

Then the next time we have anyone in parliament they will think twice about stealing instead of doing their jobs.

NOTHING USEFUL CAN BE DONE IN GHANA WHERE THE PARTY IS CONSIDERED THE GOV'T AND VICE VERSA, WHERE THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL COLLUDES WITH AN INDIVIDUAL TO "STEAL" STATE FUNDS AND NOTHING IS SAID ABOUT IT; WHERE THE SUPREME COURT ORDERS WOYOME TO PAY THE "ILL-GOTTEN" MONEY BUT THE IGP AND OTHERS ALLOW HIM TO WALK FREE ON THE STREETS WITHOUT PAYING. WHY? THIS IS THE COUNTRY WHERE THE GYEEDA REPORT IS PRESENTED TO THE PRES. AND HE GAVE IT TO A PARTY GURU TO "DOCTOR" IT BEFORE MAKING IT PUBLIC AND NOTHING HAS BEEN HEARD ABOUT IT ANYMORE. WHY? MUCH MORE CAN OF THOSE CAN BE CITED BUT THE "GOVT" SIMPLY OVERLOOKS THEM. A "STUPID" MINISTER OF STATE DRIVES HIS VEHICLE DANGEROUSLY ON THE ROAD AND WHEN HE IS CONFRONTED BY A POLICE OFFICER, THE OFFICER IS RATHER ARRESTED. COME ON FOLKS, THIS IS A NATION OF LAWLESSNESS HEADED BY A BUNCH OF LAWLESS "THIEVES". JUST WAIT A WHILE AND READ SOME OF THE COMMENTS BY THE SUPPOSED SUPPORTERS OF THE THESE BUNCH OF CLUELESS THIEVES CALLED "NEFARIOUS DESTRUCTIVE CONGLOMERATE".(NDC)GHANA IS HEADING TO THE ABYSS BELIEVE YOU ME.

This time u said it so well, thievery cannot stop as long as long as society continues to glorify thieves and call them success stories.

WE ALWAYS SAY THIEVS ARE SMART. OUR PERCEPTION OF CORRUPTION IS WHAT IS FUELLING THE CANKER. WE TRY TO OUTSMART EACH OTHER. PASSENGERS WILL TELL THE DRIVER TO FIND SOMETHING FOR THE POLICEMAN BECAUSE THEY ARE IN A HURRY.

The NDC campaigned and was voted into power with the sole aim of working hard to make Ghana a better place to live, but so far, the party had encountered more problems than expected.As the disgruntled supporters and sympathizers of the vanquished NPP are doing all that they can to frustrate the NDC in its development efforts,there is also this perception that some people in government are not working hard enough.Their main focus is on how to amass wealth at the expense of the state.The state of affairs seemed a bit worrying with each passing day.

I want the NDC and mostly people who think the party's electoral victory is an opportunity for them to amass wealth rather than to serve the people to rethink.I want to caution everyone that when it comes to death,not all the people have died before,but if it is about sleep,whether dead or alive,we have all slept before.This is to simply remind those who are bent on using corrupt practices to amass wealth that if they do not know what death is,then they should critically observe sleep and perhaps that may give them a fair idea.

Those with wisdom should have realized by now that the constant accusation of 'chopping kafukafu fukafuka with both hands'(corruption) by the opposition, led by the All-Die-Be-Die Club is an indication of future things to come. Some people are being penciled down and would surely be in trouble should the pendulum of political power move to the All-Die-Be-Die Club. In the likely or unlikely event that power gets to them, their first priority would be to expand the Nsawam Prison. The expansion would start right from Nsawam to Kasoa. The expanded prison would be renamed The Nsawam-Kasoa Prison and those who would be deemed to have 'chopped kafukafu,fukafuka with both hands(corrupt)would end up there.

I hope you have not so soon forgotten the experience of Mr Ant,the tsatsu. He was picked when he got to the 'summit' of the communion glass and was about to feel the sweet taste of the communion wine Papa Osofo has just served his congregation. He was picked by the "Adjei Koti People"(the police)and was sent to court. He was asked,are you guilty? before he could say not guilty,he was already in the Nsawam Prison.Mr Ant,the tsatsu and others became political prisoners but Mr Victor Selormey became a political dead body.This happened because they have been penciled down to be sent to prison long before the Gentle-Giant Club came to power.If such a thing happened during the Gentle-Giant era,then you can well imagine what would happen if power gets to the All-Die-Be-Die Club.

If power gets to them,most of you would not be lucky like Mr Ant,the tsatsu for there would be a midnight raid when you are at the 'summit'of the game with your women.The painful thing is that you would be picked at the point when you are about to descend the New Jerusalem Hill. With All-Die-Be-Die in power,you would be picked by the 'Soya!Soya! Nkelenkelen!People(the military). On humanitarian grounds you would be sent to court but before you are asked,are you guilty? you are already in the Nsawam-Kasoa Prison! mind you,All-Die-Be-Die would be hotter than 'kpakpo shito'and severer than Gentle-Giant. There is likely to be more political dead bodies than prisoners.

Ms Hustler Opusu,the Jezebel of the All-Die-Be-Die Club is most likely to be appointed the Minister of 'Atorni' Affairs,the ministry with the responsibility of sending people to prison.As you all know,all Jezebels are wicked but this Jezebel is worst. A look at her boys-boys hair cut alone can tell you that there is something in the Dodowa Forest. Even without power at her finger tips,she had the audacity and all the cities in the world, including electricity to call the sitting president a THIEF.With her appointment,she would be shaking the head like a 'Political Dabodabo'while making sure that most of you are sent to the Nsawam-Kasoa Prison.Mind you,your pain would be her pleasure!

Nowadays,the deafening noise coming from the Camp of the All-Die-Be-Die Club seems to suggest that some people in government have now resorted to the use of 'sofi'(shovel),spoon's senior brother in the act of 'chopping kafukafu,
fukafuka with both hands(corruption)
Let us hope that is not the true picture.

When we say a little about sunshine,
let us also say a little about rainfall. The act of 'chopping kafukafu,fukafuka with both hands(corruption) is not limited to politicians and people in government alone.In fact, the act is alarmingly becoming part and parcel of the fabric of the Ghanaian society.In the
Ministries,Departments,Agencies,schools,chapels and even at homes, where a housewife would buy a koobi(a salted fish from the market at say Ghc1.00 only to return home to tell the husband that she bought the koobi at GHc5.00.At the end of the day,the difference of GHc4.00 would end up firmly tied at the corner of her kaba
Oh Ghana,'chopping kafukafu,fukafuka with both hands(corruption) kuu! everywhere.

Fellow Ghanaians,even if we are so hungry,let us start to be decent by eating with one hand instead of 'chopping with both hands.If we resolve to be decent in our eating habit,there would be enough for everyone and a left over for generations yet unborn.Are we listening? I hope so.Do you remember the story of the Three Wise Men? Where did they come from? The answer is a word to the wise is in the EAST!!

I am proud of you and any human-mind driven entity who share the same concern. is pathetic the way things. there is no joy in staying ghana where everyone is a thief except your close friends and cronies. Most of us are partakers indirectly because our dads, mums, friends etc are into this very act we are talking about but we refuse to mention them when we talk about it. we only look beyond the circle of friends and point fingers at others. is said, every1 has succumbed to this menace. shame to every1 who knows that his close relations are thieves.

Jonny brilliantly written. keep writing we don't often get our 'learned friends' showing any care for our dear nation. What stops some 'learned colleagues' teaming up to challenge some of this thievery in court- perhaps giving a little back to the community that has invested in them. there is too much wantom looting
