Only full of inaccuracies Ghana lost the No 1 cocoa producer position because of Aliens compliance order . Just as the Egyptians lost we lost the cheap labor on the farms .Scientific socialism is different from communism .Nkrumah was not a communist . But capitalism which is greed is what has destroyed our lives . Why has capitalism not developed the economy? Stealing is not restricted to SOEs but also in the private sector.I had a business and the workers regularly stole

Some of us are beginning to think that the Ghanaian type of democracy is synonymous with corruption. People engaged in open THIEVERY and when others complain they say where is the evidence, produce the evidence, let's go to court where they they can bribe their way through. The NSS case is a sad commentary abt us as Ghanaians. Sadly, we are not seeing relentless attack on stealing by LEADERSHIP ! In Ghana, everything is NDC/NPP politics. No consensus on serious issue like STEALING GALORE. What is this ?

Philip Kobina Baidoo,wake up ! You wrote "Ghanaians did not invent CORRUPTION.It is as old as when the first Homo Sapiens coveted the property of another." Then you turned round to write "The history of corruption can be traced to the doorsteps of Nkrumah and his CPP."The implication is that there was no corruption in the colonial days. Do you know how many people were jailed for corruption and embezzlement of funds during the colonial days? Kwame Nkrumah left the political scene 48 years ago after ruling for only nine years.Why have Ghanaians failed to eradicate corruption within the past 48 years ? Your reference to Nkrumah and his CPP clearly indicates how misinformed,disinformed and biased you are.

Don't truncate my statement to make your point. I further added that we have perfected it. What I wanted my readers to grasp is that corruption is everywhere. I live in England and there is corruption in the UK society. The way they deal with it is what makes the difference. If what I said about Nkrumah is false I take it back, but it's not; it is the truth.The best you can do is to disproof what I have written, which you cannot. Thanks

If you can write such beautiful English, do I have to spell it out for you? You should know that I was making reference to modern Ghana. If this is the way you want I will simplify it for you. The history of corruption in modern Ghana can be trace to the doorsteps of Nkrumah and his CPP. It was during his time that the 10% kick back had its baptism.
l hope this clears your mind.

I don't deny the fact that Ghanaian politicians are rotten to the bone. And if you care to know I have written about this very scandal you are referring to in an earlier article entitled: The question of leadership should be put out of its misery once and for all. You can access it on my article history. Busia's debacle was after Nkrumah legalised his 10% kick back. If you doubt me go and read a genuine history of the country after independence. Thank you

Are you one of the anti-Nkrumah non-factual writers? Come on,Nkrumah legalised 10 % kickbacks? What a preposterous statement! Are you normal or you are still confused.

If I say he legalised, it doesn't mean it went through parliamentary motions to become a law. It is a figure of speech. Please!
