PROF. ADEI FIRES SALVOS!!!!! COURTESY: CLASSFMONLINE.COM ----- The various corruption allegations surfacing are proof that the Mahama administration was far more corrupt than previously thought, former Rector of the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA), Prof Stephen Adei has said at a Business Roundtable organised by Yamson and Associates in Accra on Wednesday, 31 May. “Do you know why many people want to be politicians? It’s because that is the quickest way to get rich in this country,” Prof Adei said, adding: “We are yet to know the facts because we are not the investigators but the types of things that are being revealed about the amount of corruption [are mind-boggling].” National Communication Authority graft So far three appointees of former President John Mahama are being investigated by the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) for allegedly diverting some $4million belonging to the National Communications Authority (NCA). The three appointees, according to Information Minister Mustapha Hamid, conspired with a private citizen to commit the act. The former Mahama appointees being investigated, as named by Mr Hamid in an interview with Joy FM’s Kojo Yankson on Wednesday, 24 May, include Mr Eugene Baffoe-Bonney, former Board Chairman of the NCA; Mr William Tevie, former Chief Executive Officer of the NCA; and Alhaji Osman, former Deputy National Security Coordinator. Their conspirator, according to Mr Hamid is one George Oppong. Mr Hamid said they engaged in the graft in connection with a contract between the Mahama administration and an Israeli company, NSO Group Technology Limited, in which the latter was to supply eavesdropping gadgets worth $6 million. The equipment were meant to help the government of Ghana monitor the calls of suspected terrorists. In the course of the transaction, Mr Hamid said a local agent – Infraloks Development Limited – charged $2million as facilitation fee, bringing the total amount to $8million. According to Mr Hamid, National Security, which did not have the funds for the equipment, allowed the NCA, which supervises the use of such equipment, to fund the project. The NCA top officials, he revealed, withdrew $4 million from the NCA’s kitty but gave only $1million to the Israeli firm. The surplus, according to Mr Hamid, was deposited into the personal accounts of Mr George Oppong, who fronted as an agent of Infraloks Development Ltd. He said Alhaji Osman orchestrated the entire deal. According to Mr Hamid, demands by the Israeli firm to be paid the $5 million balance after the Mahama administration lost power in the December 2016 elections prompted the new Akufo-Addo government to probe the transaction after which the graft was detected. Mr Hamid said: “They took $4 million from NCA accounts and paid $1 million to the Israeli company and then deposited $3 million in the accounts of the local agent, one Mr George Oppong, and proceeded to share the $3million among themselves.”

Anybody knows you hear the name Mahama and you know some sophisticated fishy business or crime is being committed using various institutions as their camouflage cover . You listen to the various videos and you may even hear the gunshots of the captain shooting at the people but no where was he shouting as required to identify himself. Because the people are Fantis or Akans its easier to blame them instead of finding out the truth. The story doesnt add up , anyone who has taken the time to travel around most pats of the Central region will observe even in the middle of the night even white girls , tourists Europeans and other foreigners walking alone or roaming around unaccompanied and nothing ever happens to them . But then again every once in a while we hear of some white-man being killed because of some gold deal. Lynching is wrong but this has elements of self defense and over reactions to it, remember he fired his gun at the people before with courage they disarmed him . It would have been better if they had handed him over to the police but we all know he would have paid a bribe and those who had apprehended him would have been languishing in jail . There can be no peace without the assurance of justice. On this forum we notice all the lying hypocrites who have come out to condemn the town but fail to notice the crimes committed like corruption , nepotism , incompetence etc. A sin is a sin and a crime a crime , why turn a blind eye to corruption and yet talk shit about one lynch. Police stations are being burned to the ground and now most security agency personnel are scared and shitting in their pants because soon the people will arise. Npp , Ndc and most of the media are in a hype propaganda mode to blame the innocent people of the town rather than properly look at the suspicious activities of the captain . First he was jogging alone with a gun in plain sight . Rather than identify himself chose to engage in shooting at the residents , a sign of substandard training or criminal intent . He was on duty and an officer but had no other lower ranking soldiers accompanying him , was he deployed there to be on holiday so could go jogging around ? Never trust these security forces especially the army as they are involved in all kinds of criminal activity and always have sophisticated propaganda lies to make it appear they did nothing wrong. A wise man once said its stupidity to know the truth but chose to believe the lie.

Yes, psychologically it will help shift the mind-set of us akans from resorting to violence without thinking of the consequences because we think the sun rises from us. As long as the televised trial ends in the death penalty we will be all right, anything less and it will be life as usual for the lynchers.

NDC and NPP have both played a major part in this LAWLESS society we live in today. The blame game never stops!

GHANAIANS WAKE UP!!!! THEY ARE EVEN POLITICIZING IT NOW! Even, certain media houses are doing same. Asiedu Nketia, Nitiwul, Sefa Kayi and other politicians from both divide are all POLITICIZING it! Even at a time when it has come to this......watch this space, the gutter politics of these two USELESS parties will continue and further lawlessness will go on. They are busy pointing fingers at their own doing and ignoring the real problem....which is the NDC and NPP GUTTER POLITICS!!!!

Both parties have over the years cultivated the culture of impunity, disrespect, social disorder and LAWLESSNESS!!!!!

The level of lawlessness and disorder is unbelievable. When you politicize law and order in any society, what then prevails is, mob justice.

The politicizing of Mahama's death is nothing new between the two USELESS parties. They are always at it and are still doing so, as we speak.

The truth of the matter is when you allow hoodlums who insult and physically attack our judiciary without any punishment, mob justice prevails.

Same as when you allow corruption and thieves with 'pens' rob our nation of its taxpayers money and justice is not seen to be done, mob justice prevails.....

All we continue to hear is that we have a president who believes in law and order and yet, under his watch our society is getting from bad to worse. When will he effect law and order to secure our nation??? The talking is over, do something now!!!

NDC and NPP have nothing to offer GHANAIANS so, GHANAIANS should stop voting for them, PERIOD!!!

GOD BLESS GHANA!

You know what massacre all the inhabitants and declare the place no man's land.
Finally, I'll be fully support the military to take the necessary action. This is because the number of fools / idiots in the Ghana is increasing rapidly. From political and judicial arenas through all ages, now the fools populations have reached 98.9% in Ghana.
We need national cleansing, this time not house cleansing. Foolish people called themselves Land Guards wil be the first among the fools to be eliminated.

I beg to differ Mr deputy minister, no need to televise the trial of killer's of late Cpt Mahama. Disband your party delta and invincible forces, again do not set them free through political manoeuvres at the law courts by finding them the lofty non existent jobs you arrogantly promised them for votes. Curtail the arrogant regional B/A youth organizer and lawyer obiri boahen or your party will crumble before 2020 general elections.

Since when has a trial in Ghana been televised? Families of the former Abuakwa State MP are yet to have a closure to their lost. Oppong Nkrumah who called for a televised proceedings on the MP's death? Peoplw in publuc office should be circumspect as to what you say. Do not inflame passions. When you do not know all the facts you should not jump to closure and be making noise. Lets get to facts. Which mines are the soldiers guarding? Who owns them? Is it one of the Hansol sponsored mines? Oman Ghana, should it take the death of a junior officer in the GAF for us to realize that the Chinese have overstayed their welcome in Africa and Ghana in particular? Time to put our national interest above petty politics and stop giving protection to Chinese illegal miners. Wake up Ghana. Illegal mining if not stopped will turn this country into choas. Let go these Chinese illegal miners. They don't understand stop and we must flush them out from Ghana. Either these Chinese, the Indians do not respect our laws or they do not respect us as a nation. Nana Akuffo Addo exercise the powers given to you by the constitution and implement the needed immigration reforms. Lets get a head count to get to know the exact number of these folks in town. Stop inflaming passion in the public Amanfou.
