We nee strong institutions not people Anyone can get corrupted .But who says the NPP is not more corrupt than the NDC .If Nana and his daughter both get away with vehicular manslaughter, what do you call that? That is why we need strong institutions .Ghana is a world of organized chaos" and the voter is the loser .It reminds me of what Cinna "the poet"said in Caesar about polticians "I darest not open my mouth for fear of inhaling the bad breadth" They all make noise

You should be ashamed of yourself.

You are a joke to say "Ghana is a world of organized chaos".... like you and your 'thieving god' Rawlings didn't play the biggest part in this organized chaos. Rawlings masterminded this chaotic state we are in on 'june 4th' in 1979.

Listen to yourself.... you and ethnocentric demi-god JJ are a disgrace to humanity.

The biggest noise maker is you now that Ghanaians have kicked you, your master and the corrupt NDC to the curb where you and your kind belong.

GOD BLESS GHANA!!!!

What about Nana himself who was deeply involved in the drill-ship corruption scandal? Nana' priority is to pay his huge local and international debts, and then replace the family properties he sold for politics over the years. He will also try to silence the family of Bawumia's aid by paying them a huge amount of money. But that will not save him when the boy strikes for justice.

How do you put the fox in charge of the henhouse and expect that you can come back and tally your stock wholly? See corruption is a killer that each one of us must fight or resist within ourselves with all our might. Corruption is a mind game, we all must be robust enough and resilient not to succumb to its temptations.

Corruption is simply corruption. The amount of money or exchange involved is irrelevant. Is Rawlings trying to say that reducing the said amount to $2 million makes his act less corrupt? What a bizarre analogy? Those who live a glass house don't throw stones they say.

The December 7 elections is a clarion call on Akufo-Addo and NPP for action on corruption and reforms and not a repeat of the opulence and ostentatious display of splendour as well wasteful luxury of Kufuor's era. Ghanaians must constantly hold Akufo-Addo's feet to the fire in order to remind him that he is there to serve Ghanaians and must therefore not swerve from his promises to better their lot.

I get it when Akufo-Addo says; Ghanaians are sitting treasures but we go hungry."

Here is the answer!

In the words of Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah; " Africa needs a new type of citizen, a dedicated, modest, honest, informed man. A man who submerges self in service to the nation and mankind. A man who abhors greed and detests vanity. A new type of man whose humility is his strength and whose integrity is his greatness."

I hope Akufo-Addo has got Nkrumah's message. God Bless Our Homeland Ghana. Long Live Maame Ghana!!!

JJ RAWLINGS is talking about corruption in notorious NDC. May be JJ Rawlings is a changed man, right? Does he has remorse for numerous killings of innocent Ghanaians?

JJ Rawlings and family has stolen Nsawam factory that belong to Ghana. Nobody knows how much Rawlings family paid for that factory and who did price evaluation for that factory.

I am for the unity of our country, for there won't be real meaningful development in our country if we continue the path of segmentation n ethnic lines JJ Rawlings left behind. I don't think JJ Rawlings is the right person to talk about corruption. Ghanaians knew what this guy has done to Ghanaians. There must be serious discussions and remedies about corruption in Ghana.Notorious NDC party officials came to power just to use dubiuos means to loot and steal Ghana. They have stolen and looted Ghana very well. Everybody in Ghana knows it. In what ways are we going to use to retrieve all stolen assets NDC officials have stolen.

General Mosquito Asiedu Nketia has a house in Calgary in Canada. The place Asiedu Nketia house is the most affluent in the whole of North America. How did he acquire it ?

Yes, we have serious problem with corruption in Ghana. However, JJ Rawlings should not be the one to direct us in fighting corruption. He has a whole lot of clouds hanging on his head with regard to corruption.

Wake up, fellow Ghanaians! Akufo-Addo himself is CORRUPT! It is time you guys stop your commentaries about what you think he is going to do!

Rather start to pay attention to guys like Ken Ofori-Atta and Gabriel Otchere-Darko. If you follow them and their activities closely, you will see the extent and depth of Akufo-Addo's games. Akufo-Addo and the Rawlings are BOTH CORRUPT.

The sentiments expressed in your piece about JJ Rawlings and his wife to me represents the real hypocrisy of this family ; I have always said that for those of us who know JJ Rawlings during our school days ; JJ Rawlings has never changed neither has his wife Nana Konadu ; mine take with this per is that they are just evil ;political liars; thiffs and greedy and why some Ghanaians of less persuasion tend to follow this JJ Rawling have always 'BAFFLED ME' to me some Ghanaians cannot read between the lines about this couple ; the per are always scheming to jump ahead of the pack and pretend to be this macho man ; JJ Rawlings has always tried to cover his tracks of all his evil acts always takes the initiative to pretend that he is this crusader against corruption whilst at the same time is the most corrupt bandit who ever lead Ghana ; the man has this aura of aggrandisement about him ; he believes he is very important but the reality is that ; the man is a thiff besides why on earth has he quickly run to Nana Addo advising him to look into acts of corruption 'BAFFLES'ME !!!!!! the trend he used with Kuffour when he came to power ;JJ Rawllings made every effort to convince Kuffour that he JJ Rawlings was the man whose advice should be taken but Kuffour was smart and told JJ Rawlings to go and masterbate with his nonsenses or go fuck himself !!!!!!! ; he did the same to Jon Mahama telling Jon Mahama how to govern and to deal with corrupt officers in the NPP party whilst he was himself smelling of faeces of corruption ; Jon Mahama came to power and this ayigbe/ewe rat did the same again but this time Jon Mahama ignored him ; this time he is offering the same bogus services to Nana Adddo but mine take is simple Nana Addo should not be fulled by JJ Rawlings because JJ Rawlings is a very vindictive man full of evil deeds and thoughts ; Nana Addo should stay well clear of this ewe/ayigbe stiller otherwise it will be I TOLD YOU SO !!!!!!!!!; Nana Addo is smart and knows who JJ Rawlings is A CON ARTIST ; this a man who set up an evil party called the NDc ; today we all know what the NDC stands for and what they came to do in governance coupled with thiffs ; incompetent leader Jon Mahama and a bunch of educated illiterates who could not perform but were only interested in STILLING !!!!!!!!

JJ should hang himself in shame for the killing of father, uncles, grandfathers , nursing mother the Judge etc. Today he Rawling is writing to Nana what on? Ghana no longer listens to Rawling any longer. He has lost the respect he once commanded. This is why he feels he owe the country by quickly writing to nana? Did anyone write to him to remind him of his role whilst in power? The truth really hurts when one least expects.

Rawlings benefitted from the Woyome judgment debt scam. According to Woyome, he paid a half million US dollars (US $500,000) to Rawlings. Rawlings only issued a feeble denial through Kofi Adams, his then secretary. Why didn't Rawlings sue Woyome for a false accusation and defamation in court, if Woyome was lieing?

If Akuffo-Addo is honest he should recover for the repubic :
1. the Ridge state-owned residence that Rawlings STOLE on leaving office as a military dictator,
2. The Nsawam Cannery and Cocoa Processing Factory illegally gifted to his wife, and
3. the Woyome loot that the court has ruled must be paid back.

Unfortunately, none of this will ever happen because the NPP = the NDC! No difference, same corruption! They have already made deals to protect each other's corruption receipts. Those expecting change are in fpr the shock of their lives!!!

Strong, direct, unequivocal!

MESSAGE: Talk is cheap.
Deal with the crooks at the top, if Akufo-Addo wants people to know he is serious.

So, Akufo-Addo can't prostrate at the feet of Rawlings and expect respect from the average Ghanaian simply because the average Ghanaian understands that Rawlings is part of the corruption machine that have sucked so much of the peoples' wealth into their own private pocket, and into the briefcases of foreign interests.

Imagine, after multiple invitations to Rawlings for him to take a stand on Ghana's oil contracts while the Mahama NDC has been in power, Mr. Rawlings never did.

Go figure!

Thanks, Mr. Bannerman!
