Let me start by emphatically stating that I think President Dr.Hilla Limann was a good and decent man.However he suffered from an extreme form of naivete which went into the realms of recklessness and absurdity.A president that allows a lowly leautenant who is a known aggitator to cease power from him shows that he was not quite ready to protect our national security.If a Flight Leutenant could that easily cease power from him what would he have done if any of our neighbours had marched troops into Accra to dissolve our soverignty.If you think that is highly unlikely just look at what the destruction and death Boko Haram has caused the Nigerians.And what about the Ivorians's raiding our border towns on several occasions.I will gladly suffer a government of car thieves any day over a government of led by a weak leader.

You devoted more than a decade of your life writing about tribalism and Akan supremacy in this forum since your beloved NPP was in opposition, you got fed up and left the rest of the hate preaching to Okoampa and he did an excellent job in your absence. In a nut shell your must be smiling with all teeth gleaming now since your beloved NPP and the supposedly Akan majority is in power. All we hope for and want is a better Ghana.

Welcome back Akadu the Akan warrior aka the supremacist.

Compare the average child to one from abroad, U can see that ours is deprived. The money for his development is spent on cars and other luxuries.
The colonial masters only cared about themselves and not the future(children) The kings took over and treated us worse and now the politicians have joined the kings to spend our money on themselves.
We have been slaves for so long and that is why we accept this treatment as normal. How can the land belong to one man? Look what they have done to the environment with its rivers, vegetation and animals. Wake up my people, we must fight for our freedom.

NPP’S UNPRECEDENTED CORRUPTION RECORDS

Read more at: https://www.modernghana.com/news/434498/npps-unprecedented-corruption-records.html

A leopard may get wet falling into water, but its spots are eternal – a Ghanaian adage.

This proverb confirms the assertion that apart from the name change of the leadership of the New Patriotic Party from President John Agyekum Kufuor, to now Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the flagbearer of the party, the value of corruption, mismanagement, and incompetence remains the same.

Nana Akuffo-Addo was a key member of former President Kufuor's administration; in fact he was more or less a de facto president during the NPP's term in office that presided over the unprecedented corrupt dealings and practices in the history of Ghana, yet he did very little if not worse to erode the canker.

Without much ado, The Al-Hajj serializes to its cherishing readers some socio-economic and political crimes that the NPP during its eight years in office committed.

The Al-Hajj does so by asking this question; does the NPP have the moral right to accuse functionaries of the National Democratic Congress of corruption? Or is it the case of the pot calling the kettle black? Wonders they say will never end!

1. Hotel Kufuor
The Ghana Palaver news paper provided a vivid explanation on circumstances that could not have supported the claim that the Ex-President Kufuor had no knowledge of what would have been a brazing act of public corruption involving John Addo Kufuor, the 41-year old Chartered Accountant son of President John Agyekum Kufuor.

The Hotel was situated two doors away from the residence of Chief Kufuor's father, John Agyekum Kufuor.

The cost of US$3.5 million was funded by Prudential Bank, a Bank part-owned by SSNIT, a state-owned enterprise, and by the National Investment Bank, another state-owned Bank, and by the ECOWAS Regional Investment Bank, which advanced US$1 million to the Hotel.

At that time, President Kufuor was the Chairman of ECOWAS and Mr. J. S. Addo, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Prudential Bank, was President Kufuor's representative on the ERIB and the Chairman of the Board of Directors of ERIB. Yet, the President was found to be clean.

2. 'Epistle' According to Esseku
In 2005, the Chairman of the NPP, Mr. Harruna Esseku was caught on tape telling NPP supporters that President Kufour was the chief recipient of kickbacks from contractors at the castle.

He lamented that unlike in the past when he could go to the castle and have his car boot stashed with kickback funds, President Kufour was at the time withholding those funds and this had affected his ability to provide resources for the running of the NPP.

For this revelation Mr. Esseku was held hostage in a hotel and prevented from attending the NPP delegates' conference at Legon.

3. Diversion of 6o billion cedis of tax payer's money to fund NPP propaganda machine

A 2009 audit report revealed that up to 60 billion Cedis of the tax payer's money taken from the TOR debt recovery levy, the HIPC etc. was used to fund a so called communication strategy which was only a euphemism for a conduit used to siphon state funds into the NPP campaign.

The auditors could not find details of this strategy or how it was executed, except dubious payments to amorphous groups such as BLOW, PRIM, and FIRST RESPONDERS.

4. Minister Deposits 2b Billion Cedis in Bank Account

Under President Kufour, a minister of state at the Castle, Charles Bintim was able to deposit 2billion cedis cash into his account at a Bank in Accra. There was no explanation how the Minister came by that amount of money.

5. E.O Group Shares in Jubilee Field
While 25 million Ghanaians had to make do with only 13.6% stake in the Jubilee field. Two NPP top shots, George Owusu and Ambassador Edusei, both pals of President Kufuor, were given 3% shares which amounts to a colossal US$300 million.

It is instructive to note that in one of the Wikileaks cables President Kufour was quoted as having told a US senator that his interests in Ghana's oil are being coordinated by Mr. Kwabena Darko of Darko Farms.

When investigations were carried out into the EO group's affairs by Ghanaian authorities, it emerged that their company address was the same as the address of Darko Farms

The explanations given for how EO group came to own such a significant stake in the Jubilee field do not wash. We are told that they found Kosmos and brought them in to discover oil for Ghana.

It is strange that GNPC which was formed in 1983 and which has all the expertise one can think of in the oil industry could not find a partner to discover oil but it took a two-man company with no experience or track record in the oil industry to find a partner for us.

Even strange is the fact that the EO group was allowed to be part of the joint operating agreement signed among the partners in the jubilee field when they do not meet the basic requirements to be part of such a venture.

First they have no track record of having being part of such a venture in the past neither did they possess the financial capacity to make good their part of the cash calls which are necessary for the operation of the jubilee field.

As it turned out they were carried by Kosmos and seeing as Kosmos is no father Christmas, the conclusion that can be drawn was that the EO group shares was made a conditionality for giving Kosmos the exploration license.

6. GHANA @ 50
After spending a US$ 75 million dollars on Ghana's 50th birthday celebration, it emerged that Dr Wireko Brobey, Chief executive of the Ghana @50 secretariat made cash payments to supposed contractors and service providers in polythene bags without any supporting documentation

7. Macmillan Textbook Printing Saga
Mr. Yaw Osafo Marfo, then Education Minister was embroiled in a dubious scandal involving the printing of some textbooks for Ghanaian schools leading to his sack by President Kufuor.

8. Sale Of Lands To NPP Ministers And Cronies

A recount of the sale of government bungalows and public lands to Jake Obetsebi Lamptey, President Kufour, Kwadwo Mpiani and other NPP Ministers and cronies points to evidence of corruption.

9. Bamba Gate
Alhaji Moctar Musah Bamba, former MP and former Deputy Minister for Presidential Affairs co-floated a company called 'Emirates Investments Limited' that used Presidential letterheads to guarantee private loans.

The company attempted defrauding a bank with a letterhead from the 'Office of the President' with a forged signature of the Minister for Private Sector Development purporting to give a Government of Ghana guarantee.

Emirates Investments Limited presented a fraudulent Canadian Bank draft for $93,000 out of which it enchased $30,875.35 but the draft bounced upon presentation. He was involved in a junk bond visa scam, which further exposed an incredible abuse of the Presidency.

He sponsored six NPP activists to an NPP function in Austria using fraudulently obtained Austrian visas and also attempted to obtain visas for another squad of 19 young people on a so-called business trip to Austria

10. Sekyi Hughes Loots his Bungalow
Former speaker of Parliament under the NPP, Ebenezer Begyina Sekyi Hughes when leaving his official bungalow looted it empty. He carried along all the curtains, furniture and fixtures in the house. Some media reports had it that Mr. Sekyi Hughes even took away flower pots.

11. Dr Agambilla Slams NPP for Engaging in Procurement Politics

Former deputy finance minister under the NPP, Dr Gheysika Agambilla described the NPP's approach to politics and governance as procurement politics in a widely circulated book he wrote after he left office.
Dr Agambilla also told American officials that there was widespread corruption in the Kufour regime especially in the forestry sector. This was contained in the leaked US diplomatic cables.

12. Thomas Broni Gate
The Deputy Minister of lands and forestry in the Kufour regime, Thomas Broni, seduced the wife of a financier of his own party-NPP, Martha Nkrumah, and setting her up in business with ¢500 million in kind of public money from the state-owned GNPA, an allegation made by no less a person than the henpecked husband of the lady, Tony Osei Tutu.

13. Kufour's House Renovation
In 2001, President Kufuor's private residence was renovated at a cost of 40 million cedis. It was claimed later by NPP government officials that the renovation was financed by a farmer named Mr. Marfo.

It is instructive to note that the same Mr. Marfo was flown abroad for medical treatment at the expense of the tax payer. How is it that a farmer who was rich enough to pay for the renovation of the residence of the President needed the tax payer's money to seek medical treatment or was it a case of one good turn deserves another?

14. International Students hostel Appropriation

The former International Students Hostel at the Airport City, which was initially allocated to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was re-zoned for residential development by the government in 2007, and sold to functionaries and cronies of the NPP for GH¢2O,OOO or GH¢15,000 per plot.

15. Phantom VRA Plant
Dr. Charles Yves Wereko Brobby, as Chief Executive of the Volta River Authority, got the VRA to lease a national electricity back-up power plant called the "Strategic Reserve Plant" at Tema, at a cost of US$6 million.

He paid a monthly rent for it until the cost of the plant came to US$30 million, but the Plant never worked until all the 5 units were secretly returned to their owners; ¢14 billion (US$ 1.7 million) penalties was paid by the VRA for not lifting crude oil on schedule when the VRA had not been invoiced for payment.

He spent a whopping US$700,000 on publicity and advertisements alone within a one-year period; He paid a local Public Relations firm up to ¢300 million just to produce VRA's in-house newsletter which over the years had been produced by regular Public Relations staff of the VRA. He willfully and inexplicably changed a VRA contract award to a Company from ¢51 million to US$51 thousand
16. Professor Kassim Kassanga Harmattan Project

Professor Kassim Kassanga, former Minister of Lands and Forestry secretly re-awarded 42 Timber Utilisation Contracts from the NDC era that the NPP Government had cancelled to cronies and favorites of the NPP in gross violation of the principles of transparency, among which beneficiaries was Mrs. Comfort Wereko-Brobbey, President Kufuor's sister whose husband was a member of the Forestry Commission Board and who was given 89 square kilometres of the Asukese Forest Reserve.

He took ¢3 billion belonging to the Forest Plantation Development Fund without the knowledge of the Board of Directors of the Fund, used it to import mango seedlings from Burkina Faso for planting to create forests, which seedlings arrived during the harmattan season resulting in the wilting away of all of them and therefore rendering the ¢3 billion a total financial loss to the state.

17. Visa Fraud
Peter Kwaku Amoabeng, former NPP MP for Lower West Akim fraudulently attempted to obtain an Austrian visa for a woman and two children who he falsely represented as his wife and children respectively, and in the process committed the offences of fraud by false pretences, forgery, perjury, impersonation and deceit of public officer

18. Conflict of Interest
Mr. Wilson, former DCE for Mfantesman awarded an Assembly contract to himself. In the course of execution of the contract, the building on which the workmen were working collapsed.

As a result of the collapse, three persons died and seven were seriously injured. He was merely removed from office.

19. Anane's Bed Warming Saga
The Minister of Health under President Kufuor's presidency, Dr. Richard Anane attending an international AIDS Conference, had raw sex with a foreign lady, had a baby with the lady, and transferring as much as US$100, 000 to the said lady in the USA, an allegation made by no less a person than the very same lady concubine, Alexandra O'Brien, herself.

20. Popular Cocaine Trade:
Even more disturbing was the linkage of government and public officials to cocaine trading and smuggling. A significant amounts of 77 parcels of cocaine, vanished from police surveillance

An NPP parliamentarian, Eric Amoateng, went to jail, and is now serving a prison sentence in the US for heroin trafficking. Amoateng was arrested in 2005 for smuggling 136lbs of heroin into Newark airport. He was jailed in 2007 by a US court after resigning his seat but enjoyed significant support from fellow NPP MPs.

21. Atta Akyea's Court Case Against EC

The NPP MP for Abuakwa South, Samuel Atta Kyea went to court; with the aid of the Chief Justice, Theodora Woode trying to restrain the Electoral Commission from conducting the Tain Election

In the wake of this, he planed arranging to export dead bodies to the Volta Region with the intention of providing the evidential support to impugn the integrity of the election of the good people of the Volta Region.

22. The Infamous Dzorwulu Women.

Under Nana Akufo-Addo's watch as the Attorney General, three NPP women from Dzorwulu, were caught trying to smuggle narcotics out of the country. The dockets of the three narcotic women got lost under mysterious circumstances.

23. Raymond Amankwah's Diplomatic Passport

Raymond Kwame Amankwah, who is well known in the International Community as a hard core drug baron was arrested and sentenced to a 14-year prison term at the Provisional Detention Centre at Caucaia in Brazil for drug trafficking.

But according to the Daily Graphic's front page lead story of Monday February 13, 2012, when Amankwah was arrested by the Brazilian authorities he was holding a Ghanaian Diplomatic Passport which was issued to him at the time that Akufo-Addo was Ghana's Foreign Minister.

With the above unprecedented corrupt practices of the NPP, it is however not surprising that former President Kufuor made that infamous declaration that corruption “was as old as Adam” and that on a daily basis he and his officials are tempted with all manner of things including the proverbial apple of the Garden of Eden

On the issue of which party has the political will to fight corruption and uproot its root cause, Ghanaians will be the better judges on Decemb er 7th.

5A 5000 YEARS OLD SECRET JINNI FORMULA THAT UNLOCKS THE MYSTERIES OF WEALTH AND SUCCES “THE HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING” A SECRET FORMULA unwritten until now, Remember the KINGS and their fabulous wealth? Even today the tomb of the KINGS yields spectacular quantities of GOLD, SILVER, and DIAMONDS AND OTHER PRECIOUS STONES. How did they ever amass these incredible riches? The ANSWER is given in this strongly HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING. The wearer of this RING gets AUTOMATICALLY anything wants he in his life, for e.g. MONEY, FAME, SUCCESS, HAPPINESS, LOVE, POWER, LUCK and so on, they are all yours 17 you are wearing the HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING. If you cannot see the light from where you stand perhaps you has been standing behind a pillar all this time. The appropriate time has now come for you to knock off aside the pillar which has been obstructing your success all these days and if you cannot knock off this pillar at least move out from behind it and see what all awaits you in this universe. Through the Gracious help of great GURU (SAGE) this hidden RING is brought out with a bold assert that no man has upon this world to pass away unannounced. Nobody is to bear a perpetual burden of privation and to court death as the ultimate resort beyond also suffering. This word of happiness is equally desired to be shared by all, but here are many who ping for it and in the long run fall a victim to relentless time not even able to make both the ends meet the other flourish happily in the lap of luxury and pleasure and roll on the bed of wealth. On the hold this GREAT RING after the performance of necessary ceremonies does not fall a prey to any serious malady, his life may be extended to one hundred years, fire, water and air cannot tarnish or destroy this person. He will never in any danger of calamity. Spirits, Demons, Evil of bad Luck, Evil spirits, Black magic will submit to him and never dare do any always pass their time in safety. The nine planets always smile upon them and even KINGs bear submission. This mysterious Ring is the best filler of all desire fear, Grief’s miseries etc. cannot appreciate to the door of the wearer: A person accounted with the RING may turn the council to see his opposes turn dump and loose the power of speech. It is the desire of the great GURU (SAGE) rather my behest that every person of means should hold this great RING which is permanent in stopping premature death. It is a river of vast wealth and reputation apenerial sources of fame and prosperity and the great amulet and charm of the world. Hold this Ring and make your life Glorious and great. Highly Efficacious. Life long and Durable. The cost of this power is too great but because on the special request of the world, I am charging all the devotees only a little amount of GH¢300.84.0547122212

Voters are not interested in tv, radio station debates between Npp and NDC. Ghanaians simply want their cars and money. Ghanaians want results. NPP must understand that Ghanaians can't be taken for granted. If they fail to right the wrong, we the voters will advise ourselves.

I just can't think far. How many staff did the NDC have at the presidency? How many cars were allocated to one person? Where were they parking all these vehicles? 678 vehicles bought under one regime? Oh God have mercy on us, no wonder Ghana is broke. The questions can go on, on, on & on. Nobody understands this. How many vehicles does one need to do effective work? I just don't understand the Ghanaian's mentality, everything is about car, car, car, why? Somebody help me find answers to some of these questions. NHIS collapsed, school feeding programme disorganized, trained nurses unemployed, newly-trained teachers not paid, bad roads not fixed, etc. and govt buying as many as 678 vehicles, not ordinary vehicles but 'proper' vehicles, and Kwesi Pray jnr doesn't see anything wrong with it and is defending his paymasters, l just can't think madness

What I get from this is the Era of Ghana buying cars to be looted is something that needs to be addressed and thank goodness, it is now a germane topic as to what has happened to the one year, two year, three year old vehicles that have vanished out of sight, and the new govt is being stampeded towards the very things we are all against buying of cars when those funds could be used to improve our healthcare system and the NHIS so our elderly folks can get the health they need.
The consensus is quite clear. The degeneracy ends under this govt. We will not spend huge sums to purchase brand new cars when they are being stolen and sold with impunity. That is not a forward looking approach to the ills confronting our society which are crying for solutions.
Brilliant piece by all standards.

Just wondering why politicians cannot go for loans to buy their own cars. When is government going to use monies on our hospitals and stop buying cars for the so called " honorables".

All drug addicts are patapaa, voilent, proud and full of hooliganism. What patapaa akuffo addo at 73 and his NPPigs know best is nkontompo, apoobo, akakabens3m, awudie, naadaa, ahunahuna, kronoo, ns3mhunu keka etc to intimidate their opponent and cajole Ghanaians for power. But now that they have got the power they dont know what to do; they are confused. Ghanaians should wise up! Because nobody can be considered as corrupt than a drug baron. ln China a drug peddling is considered as one of the highest crime and is punishable by firing squad. If this patapaa criminal drug peddler is in China he would have been executed let alone contesting to lead a country. So is a drug peddler like patapaa akuffo addo responsible man worthy of electing as a leader of a country? If Mahama is corrupt then akuffo addo is extra corrupt criminal. And l am sure Ghanaians will soon realise.

Limann never had any Presidential Gratia reward for leaving office, noR EvEn a car but JJ who knows everything in corruption had bred MP's who are now looting state assets. What is he saying to this after the treatment he gave Limann?
