Is Mahama turning into Idi Amin Dada? Wearing military fatigues getting to election times. Idi Amin did that to put fear in the people that he was now a machine gun totting military cum civilian leader.

Why is it that all of a sudden, Mahama has become enamored with militaristic gears?

It is the devil who runs away without been pursued.

It all reminds us of Field Marshall Idi Amin, except that, General Amin was a military person by profession. What a JOKE, and whoever promoted the idea to the President, without doubt, had done him a great disservice, and more so, at this heated Political rancor.
Lastly, if the occasion wasn't a comedy, it is an INSULT to our service men and women to whom, the uniform is meant for.

What the hell does Mahama think his ass is doing by "wearing military uniforms?" It's completely off-line for him to do that and I think the sycophants he has surrounded himself with are damn clueless for this unorthodox behavior for him to continue with this impersonation.

Fact: Mahama is NOT a military leader like Idi Amin or Rawlings or the many generals who ruled Nigeria, through military coups, as well as other coup makers in some third world countries. This defies protocol and it co-mingles "civilian vs. military roles." Don’t draw our attention once again to military rule!!

As an elected civilian leader, don't go to military grounds and wear military gear or clothes. So, Kofi Moshie (Mahama) is dead wrong by doing that and must be reminded of the Biblical cliché or saying that: "Give unto Caeser what's Caesar’s and unto God, what's God's." So, which part of this doesn't Kofi Moshie and his handlers don’t understand? You're not a military leader—BUT A CIVILIAN!!

John Mahama has just began his dictatorship campaign. This may explain the reason behind all the financial scams and corruption in his government. He may want to stay in power, by hook or crook. How can a civilian president behave like this? Ever seen U.S. President Obama in military fatigues? George Bush was spotted in a military overall, but at least he served in the U.S. Army. What about John Mahama? Has he ever been train as a police officer, or a military man in Ghana? "The beginning of a dictator". A sign on the walls!

BDCs Debt Payment Plan With Govt In Limbo?
September 16, 2016
Seth Terkper, Finance Minister
Fears of a likely collapse of a number of banks in the country have been reinforced following new revelations that government may not abide by the agreed payment plan to clear debts owed banks by Bulk Oil Distribution Companies (BDCs).

Government is currently indebted to about 17 Bulk Distribution Companies (BDC)s in excess of 500 million dollars.

Majority of the BDCs contracted loans from commercial banks in the country to facilitate their operations but have failed to pay up the loans due to government’s indebtedness.

The development has been attributed as one of the cause of the significant rise of bad loans on the books of banks recently.

Botched agreement
In a bid to clear the debt, a payment plan was agreed by all parties – BDCSs, the Ghana Association of Bankers and the Finance Ministry in which payment of the debt will be made through a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to be known as the legacy bond limited and shared fairly among the debt holding banks.

The creation of the special purpose vehicle was also to ensuretransparency and fairness in the payment of all the banks involved.

But documents sighted by Citi Business News reveal that the parties involved have begun raising concerns following moves by the Finance Ministry to rather pay the BDCs through their own private accounts and ditch the agreed plan.

Letters sighted by Citi Business News to authorities cautioned that any move by government not to go by the agreement will have dire consequences on the transparency and equitable allocation of funds to the banks and also derail the restructuring objectives and the significant efforts made so far by all parties involved.

Citi Business News has learnt the Finance Ministry is expected to disburse 400 million cedis this month [September] to clear a large chunk of the debt, but sources familiar with the development say the cash may not go through the SPV as agreed by stakeholders.
According to sources within the Ministry of Finance, Hon. Cassiel Ato Forson, the deputy minister in charge of the ministry was tasked to ensure the agreed processes between the parties and government is carried through.

Implications on banking industry

Some of the stakeholders who spoke to Citi Business News said the move if carried out by the Finance Ministry will have dire consequence on the banking industry.

According to them if the money is not paid transparently, some banks will just go under.

One person with knowledge of the matter told Citi Business News “2011, 2013, payments were made but some banks didn’t get their fair share. However they financed the bulk payment of this. So with that we should learn something out of it and structure this well.

Our poor mothers and fathers have their savings with all these banks and no bank is exempted here. Huge banks are involved and they can all just be terribly affected, so it is important the protocols, the ministry of finance, the Bank of Ghana, the Ghana Association of Bankers, even the Chamber of Bulk distributors follow what they came up with to the latter. No one’s person’s interest should be looked at against the common interest of all these parties because we have been doing an 18 month work on this there were meetings with the President , the Vice President and all that. It’s gone to that level so as a country we must make sure we follow through this process and ensure that the right thing is done’.

Running Mate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) who was once a formor deputy governor of the Bank of Ghana Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia earlier warned the banking industry will be hit with a crisis if government fails to settle debts owed bulk oil distribution companies soon.

“The BDC debt is a real threat to the banking system. Our banking system will suffer a crisis if we do not take care. The banks are exposed to the BDCs some of the banks if the BDCs don’t pay will collapse”, he said.

The Bank of Ghana, in its first financial stability report for 2016 revealed that bad loans on the books of commercial banks in the country increased by 14.9 percent to 4.52 billion cedis in 2015 against the 2.72 billion cedis recorded in 2014.

seriously, there is a very thin line between sanity and insanity. why this craze over military uniforms? so powerdrunk. But matter-of-factly, it's only one who is still crude/coarse who will do something like this; Barack Obama is the Commander-in-chief of the most powerful armies in the world, he does not sport military uniforms, because he knows he is a civilian. Our dear mahama unfortunately miscontrues that title/job description!! so so crude!
