  today our country has the notorious reputation of being one of the most corrupt in the world thanks to pepeni and his band of thieves . we told everyone we knew he had no plan or program to develop the nation except pillage the little monies left and yet today the claim that they could not perform because of a petition . look at their ministers who anything more than 3 pages is a challenge to read talk less of projects whose summaries alone can be over 5000 pages , they are so lazy and selfish that nothing good can come from them . their chief ideologist of evil avenoor was killed and i had planned to go to his grave and urinate and relieve myself on him once every month but he cremated himself i guess i will do so instead on rawlings grave soon. workers are on strike because they know this azaa govt has no clue and in this day and age considering the wealth of the nation no one should work for less than 1000 cedis or 500$ but if free education was such a challenge how can they ever fathom such a reality . they are hopeless so we are preparing for our revolution and telling all righteous to sharpen their knives and bury their guns to wait for for the clarion call. they think they have fooled the Akans especially the fantis , a third of their votes came from the fantis but there is not a single substantiate minister who is a true fanti . they wage war against us Akans but when we come our and call foul they say we are liars . we are ready now so let them bring it on . long live the republic of Akan

  Mister, when will you every cease your nonsense. Which Akans are you fighting for? I don't believe you are an Akan because no Akan will ridicule himself the way you are doing. Please grow up and show some civility.

  Mahama in his sunglasses says it all. He is the problem as far as corruption is concerned. Ghana is slowly becoming like Nigeria, where, politician steal with impunity. We are in trouble.

  Can you please make your point without this "Pepeni" remark. It is infantile.

  The president has done nothing wrong perhaps, his only mistake is not questioning the integrity of the institutions responsible for going after the corrupt officials. The C.I.D. BNI and the police. My observation is that the good people in law enforcement are protecting their jobs because if in the process of performing their duties as is required chances are, they may step on a lot of big toes and this may lead to their dismissal. Until the branch in our so called quasi democracy is given a free hand to pursue the corrupt officials even to the door steps of the president nothing is going to change. You cannot see for yourselve all alone so look at the countries who have succeeded in bring corruption to the minimal levels. The U.S. and most of the western democracies. The president ought to pay attention if he wants to make a dent in the Ghanaian experience.

  any nation or individual that lives beyond his means is bound to be corrupt. everyone in this country is living beyond his means. how do we generate the additional income?
  
  let's be sincere. i have said time and again that many countries have been where we find ourselves today. what they did right was to as much as possible eliminate or reduce to the bearest minimum human contact with corruptible things.
  
  automated teller machines, cct cameras but to name a few are the state of the art technologies that have helped to reduce level of corruption and improve productivity.
  
  if you put hungry policemen on the road to check offenses, they will take bribe even if the president drives by. let us not kid ourselves. let's go for best practices. no need reinventing the wheel

  Please don't make a mockery of yourself. Did you just come out of coma? Mahama and his greedy bastards, in their quest to win elections spent in excess to buy votes. Every ministry, including the office of the president spent beyond their budget leaving a huge deficit. What is worse is that, there is nothing to show for the serious deficit. Please don't try to defend Mahama because he is the symbol of corruption.

  If Mahama can not stop the corruption, we will do it for him, but he will not like the outcome.

  its amazing that john mahama/attamills govt for d past five years have only indulged in serious looting and waste of public funds without thinking one minute about the repercurssions.....how cld this present ndc dubiously dole out gargantuan payments to cronies and criminals to the tune of one billion dollars without disturbing the economic foundation of ghana......and how cld this ndc criminally build six classroom blocks at around 350,000 ghc each as opposed to the npp building same at 80,000 previously.....then how could this ndc overspend the 2012 budget to the tune of 8.7 billion dollars just for john mahama to win elections and yet they expect the economy to remain resilient......then look at gyeeda, sada, rlg-zoolion-ndc collusion to drain the state of scarce hard cash and yet they expect the economy to remain resilient......and how on earth cld they allow small boys like okudzeto ablakwa to dubiously negotiate fake jdebts for cronies and to even demand 1.5 billion dollars for africa auto ltd.......listen to what eddie annan is demanding from AMA as if govt has not owed anybody before, like our numerous contractors who have not been paid for years now........JOHN MAHAMA DOES ALL THIS AND EXPECT THE ECONOMY TO REMAIN RESILIENT?........THIS IS VERY STRANGE AND EVEN A KID KNOWS SUCH PRACTICES WILL CERTAINLY DESTROY WHATEVER ECONOMIC FOUNDATIONS WE HAD...NOT EVEN THE GREAT USA CAN SURVIVE SUCH EXTREME MISUSE, THIEVERY, BROAD DAYLIGHT ROBBERIES. BUT NDC AND JOHN MAHAMA THINK GOVCE IS ONLY TO DO WITH ide biiiiii keke with mouth twisting slogans whilst deepening the poverty of fantis, ewes, northerners who are the poorest in ghana and expect the ndc govt to better their lot ....yes the very ndc govt which is so busy neglecting their strongholds of the ewes, fantis and northerners despite the huge vote ndc enjoyed from them........and worst of all this is the fact that john mahama is deeply involved in all of the crimes listed above so he has no authority to deal with anybody involved.....even woyome cld warn john mahama about who to appoint or not.........WE DESERVE PITY AND CONSIDERATION FROM JOHN MAHAMA BCOS HE IS THE VERY PERSON CAUSING OUR PROBLEMS NEEDLESSLY...ide biii keke...

  If Mr. Rawlings in his capacity as our Head of State, Head of Government and Commader in Chief of the Ghana Armed Forces, can change our destiny in Ghana, what excuse is President Dramani Mahama giving Ghanaians? The power of the presidency is the same. The difference is the person in charge.
  The President in the next four years is capable

  Who told you Mr. Rawlings changed our destiny in Ghana? Which way? Which misleading book did you read? You might not have experienced the rule of Rawlings.Let me tell you just one sad thing about that regime.A senior military officer was shot by firing squad for taking 50.000 cedis loan. Ask Rawlings,what was his worth while leaving office.
