Something fishy seems to be going on here. This is not a political party at all. About NPP is now serious. Ghanaians have to now do something about this group of criminals. The way things are going on in this group of gangs, if not they are banned it will be a problem for all Ghanaians. I wish future generation will not live to see them coming to mpower.

With the reasons that have been given, was there any sense for the Military to accompany him to threaten civilians? This stupid businessman should know that Ghanaians are now alert. They will take anybody#s money and then vote according to their conscience. Why did he not give me some of the money?

Are there election laws/regulations that in Ghana that prohibit the use of money or other illegal means to obtain votes? If yes, then this man should be arrested, charged and prosecuted for breaching electoral laws. That will send a clear message to other candidates in the future.

The armed soldiers he used or misused should be identified, arrested and dismissed from the military. They abused their positions and used arms to threaten Ghanaian citizens. In any case, this should be a civil matter and the military has nothing to do with it. Unless the rich and powerful in Ghana are compelled to refrain from misusing the soldiers to abuse citizens, such incidents will continue as if Ghana is still under military rule.

Kofi Atta, thanks for your comment, but note there is nowhere votes should be bought including Ghanaian Laws.
It will be right to set things straight, uit inducement, corruption or how you may call it. The candidate Alhaji Toyiba Mohammed should be arrested and charged.

This is one of the roots of Corruption.

You lose election and hire military personal to do your dirty job. He should refund tax payers money. Only in Ghana where by such foolish things goes on. No wonder, what kind of backward behavior is this.

I agree with you but when government that is centralized fails, it fails because they lose the traditional close proximity contact we had with each other when we used to have in .. College Debating Society and UNSA and Red Cross or other Clubs where if Kofi Mensah chopped money anybody in the room could hold his shirt collar. I recall a case around 1964 when in one of our meetings of a Club one man, a heavy duty man called “Commodore” could not account for moneys entrusted in his care and there was what we called “commotion”.
Eeeei!! It wasn’t easy ooo!
Look, Boys Boarding school or Primary B class fighting was better. One guy held Commodore’s shirt and next you find there were on the floor under the chairs and everybody trying to separate them. Look, in those days young men were men, and Kenkey was cheap and hence this man Commodore was not a small person.
POINT I am making is that these men who are managing the Electricity and Water and so forth are in Accra and hiding behind dark-tinted glass window SUVS and we don’t even know them. When growing up we knew the license plate number of every car in town and hence the chances of you stealing our money and not delivering services were very slim! No matter what you do we will meet at ayie-ase, at the next funeral ceremony.
Ted, we have taken Government too far away from the people!
That is all I am saying!

This underscores the hopelessness our institutions have gotten. In Ghana, you can probably have a police officer or a military man to guard you while you rob.

It is only in our part of the world where you get armed military men to accompany you to collect money that you have willingly given out in a circumstance that in itself should be considered a crime.

What can I say - Jake, our party chairman has fully supported the act of buying votes.

Mr. Toyiba, Jake said it was OK to use your money to buy votes but he did not say you can go and retrieve the money when you loose. Maybe, he will give that directive during his second term.

This innocent guy should take it cooooool. That is what the NPP stands for. Even their useless illiterate drunkard, Jake, has support the use of money. He should just take it easy. Folks, are these people qualified to rule over us, when even at the party level they are behaving like this! Ghana would be completely destroyed if these criminals come to power. Ghanaians should be very careful! For the NPP, it is not a matter of competency. It is a matter of how much money you can bribe people to make you a leader. What a shame!

during the pre and pro independence era, use of money in Ghanaian politics was not known until the npp led by the thief of Bagdad and his forty thieves came on the scene. they stampeded the political landscape with money and destroyed the quality of politics in the country. now these thieves have opened the floodgate for all kinds of questionable characters including drug barons to hijack political positions in the country. with this dangerous trend, Ghana stands seriously the risk of getting a drug addict as a president one day if we seat aloof and allow them hold the country to ransom.

Kofi Atta but the Chairman of the party just only few days ago said that it was alright to use money as a bait to lure the voters. This is the protocol and the trend in the party so what is your problem?. Do you think NPP would cooperate with the law the law enforcement agencies to bring the culprits to justice especially, in front of Dr Afari Gyan and his Lordship, Justice Atuguba? The answer is absolute NO. It has always being an everyday practice UP-(MA TE ME HO), PP and now NPP. History is indicator of current event. Our voters must elect people with integrity and principle than corrupt money grabbing fools who have nothing credible to offer our generations

Two couples were playing cards. Jeff accidentally dropped some cards on the floor. When he bent down under the table to pick them up, he noticed that Dave's wife, Sandy, was not wearing any underwear! Shocked by this, Jeff hit his head on the table and emerged red-faced.
Later when Jeff went to the kitchen to get some refreshments Sandy followed him and asked, "Did you see anything under the table that you liked?" Jeff admitted, "Well, yes I did." She said "you can have it, but it will cost you $100."
After a minute or two, Jeff indicates that he is interested. She tells him that since Dave works Friday afternoons and Jeff doesn't, that Jeff should come to their house around 2:00 PM on Friday.
Friday came and Jeff went to her house at 2:00 PM. After paying her the $100, they went to the bedroom, had sex for a few hours and then Jeff left.
Dave came home about 6:00 PM and asked his wife, "Did Jeff come by this afternoon?" Totally shocked, Sandy replied, "Yes, he did stop by for a few minutes." Next Dave asked, "Did Jeff give you $100?" Sandy thought, 'Oh hell, he knows!' Reluctantly she said, "Yes, he did give me $100."
"Good," Dave says. "Jeff came by the office this morning and borrowed the $100 from me and said that he'd stop by our house on his way home and pay me back. It's so good to have a friend you can trust."

Money, money in NPP everywhere. You don't need any scientific experiment to understand what this bush elephant party folks are gearing for. Sincerely, Toyiba's action is perfectly right. This will help the people centered NDC party to eliminate corrupt practices sanctioned by the erstwhile Kofour's NPP. This behaviour of deceit is alien to true religious and Northern societies. Do not accept anything from anybody you know in your heart you don't like. I encourage him to chase them day and night for whatever he has given the executives. A precedence like this will end political promiscuity at the branch elections and national elections for that matter. Chase them wherever they go.

This is what a boy of 12 years asked me about the NPP, infact it took me quite a long time answer this boy.

Is it not a pity for NPP to behave this way, look at what a small boy is learning about them.

Since this bribery and corruption started surfacing, thanks to" Jake, the master of bribery and corruption in the country" many of us thought this is just a slip of his tongue.
