BUT ME KOFI AYIGBE, KNOWING THAT 80% - 90% OF OUR CITIZENS HAVE ONLY WATER FILLED IN THEIR HEADS, WILL CONTINUE SPEAKING TO THE CHOSEN FEW: THE FREEING OF MONTIE 3 WAS THE BREWING POT OF LAWLESSNESS. NOW, THE POTION IS HEAVILY FERMENTED, INTOXICATING AND THE DRINK OF CHOICE FOR THE YOUTH IN THEIR HOPELESS, UNEMPLOYED AND ANXIETY-FILLED SITUATIONS. TO MAKE IT WORSE, NDC IS PLAYING POLITICS WITH SOMETHING THEY NURTURED, BLAMING EVERYTHING ON THE NEW GOVERNMENT.

Ghanaian Politicians are not there to help the vulnerable Ghanaians. Mahama was demanding to be given the house he occupied as the president of Ghana from Nana a young at hear guy a novice President. He was infact putting Nana in a tight corner to get what he wanted from him. Nana gave in because that was his most vulnerable period of his Presidency. Where Maham came from Bole are full of poverty stricken vulnerable children yet instead of forfeiting his wife birthday he spend money he had stolen whilst in power to take his entire family to Dubai again to show off . You got your words right here. great news you are vocal and not afraid to speak out. Good on you. do visit Ghana even after you are leave. see you soon.

My friend, stop your colonial mentality nonsense, okay? Much of African mineral resources which are still and spontaneously giving out their wonderful secrets from time to time in abundance long before the colonization of the continent had ended.

African is still a virgin continent, full of yet undiscovered natural resources and pitifully in the hands of fools and characterless inane calling themselves elites, hence our woes. Blame them and not Britain and her allies.

I hope this Ambassador knows and defines well how individuals and institutions are robbing Ghanaians including his outfit and his i institutions. How much is their visa fee? What happened to the money of those they refuse visa? Is he not sure they have predetermine number to offer visa a day, but allowed so many people with intention to rob them. If robbing and corruption is not good then should start from the embassy. It is our Nation Ghana that have dry our dirty clothes outside for all kind of people who equally corrupt to mock us.

This High Commissioner, is completely correct. Ghana's political establishment should be taking notice of Benjamin's observations, but because Ghanaians tend to lack depth of intellect, they will probably not learn the lessons. When the United Kingdom has donated millions in medical supplies to Ghana, and those supplies are burnt in an arson which was committed to cover up theft, the High Commissioner has an obligation to say something. Any ambassador's job include representing his government in the country to which they are assigned. Such representation includes head of state to head of state communication but the ambassador and his political attaché are tasked to provide information to their government on actual conditions in the countries to which they are posted. Two years or more ago, I wrote about Ghana being like a Mafia state - complete with godfathers, dons, capos and enforcers. I am sure ALL the ambassadors in Ghana know this, and have submitted such briefings to their governments. While John Dramani Mahama, was going around various parts of Ghana giving away V8 SUVs as bribes to various people, he and his Ministers were at the same time begging all the so called "Donor" countries, to send millions of dollars to his government to balance the Ghana budget! This gave the governments of the "Donor" countries to "meddle" in our internal affairs. I as a Ghanaian, fully support Benjamin's positions on these issues. Whenever Ghana stops begging for, and receiving largesse from the UK government, then I would say the UK ambassador should button out of our affairs. All the governments under the 1992 Ghana constitution, have been corrupt, but John Dramani Mahama's stewardship saw stealing and graft, on an unimaginable scale. Indeed on a scale which makes one long for the firing squads on Rawlings' revolutionary days. Jon Benjamin, I wish you well in your future assignments. God's speed!

Your excellency JB. YOU ARE ONE OF A KIND. This shows how well you have nursed true love for Ghana, perhaps more love for the Nation, surpassing the actual citizenry. You'll be blessed abundantly.
Sir, I humbly urge you to help Ghana more by conveying to your Kingdom to track down citizens of Ghana who have dubiously acqired properties in the UK with "stolen monies" from the State coffers. Please endeavor to link up with all your affiliated Nations to do same. Particularly the United States, Canada, Germany and all the other "hot spots" in Europe. You'll be amazed the quantum of siphoned monies stashed away in these Nations by some politicians, public directors and individual tasked to manage the Nations finances.
Im pretty certain Ghanaians cannot thank you enough, should take it upon yourself the execute this task. I'm sure you have a tall list of such individuals.

Not discounting places like UAE and some select few African Countrues, which of includes The Republic of South Africa and Nigerua. We ciunt on you, knowing very well you have what it takes to deliver. JB, you're the best that has ever happened to Ghana. The good people if Ghana salute you.
May your name be honoured by man and the Great Jehovah.

Jon, you have hammer the nail hard. The whole nation is greedy corrupted that's why nobody in the country ever prosecuted and jailed for practicing corruption. How can a nation fight corruption with corrupted judges, police , politicians, local leaders (Kings and Chiefs ), and private business. The Western world is watching the foolishness whiles the Chinese are taking the advantage of the foolishness to annihilate Ghana.

I need only one Minister, MP or any government official to look at Mr. Jon Benjamin in the face and tell him is a lie, NOBODY because he's telling the truth

Jon Benjamin was at school when I left Ghana.
Corruption started with his forefathers.
Happy he is leaving his post soon.
He should now join the police in fighting the IS Muslims who have just been casing trouble in London Bridge and BARKING in East London.
Enough said. Oh,There is election in the UK this week. UK is leaving the EU.No one knows how it is going to affect the future support for Overseas development funding.
My advice is that he should stop making fun of our country GHANA.

“I refer to highly padded single source contracts and unfairly awarded tenders. I refer to obvious conflict of interests by those using state positions to promote private business interest,” the diplomat decried.

He added: “I refer to numerous cases on which no action is taken such as the arson at the Central Medical Stores in early 2015 in which over four million Pounds worth of UK funded medical supplies were destroyed of which nobody, at least, yet has faced justice. Indeed, nobody and not a single person of any high standing has gone to jail for corruption in Ghana for more than a decade".
Jon Benjamin
Outgoing UK Ambassador to Ghana.

The Mahama NDC gov't's level and scale of corruption is like a category 9 earthquake if that is even possible, with the aftershocks still causing rippling catastrophic damage like a category 5 earthquake. That is the kind of corruption, stealing and thievery Ghana is confronted with, in the past decade and it is important, an absolute critical imperative in the interest of Ghana, as a functioning democratic state to bring down and crush to rubble those pillars and strongholds of complete and total corruption and crassness in this country.
We are on the wrong path with corruption hovering beyond the stratosphere like a satellite dictating the course and destiny of this country. That high level state of corruption, stealing and thievery must return back to earth and buried in this country. We repeat, corruption must be wrought from its high pedestal and buried in this country.
