Parliament has also gone ahead to ratify 2 petroleum agreements with one taking less than 6 hours all on the blind side of the citizenry. There's no transparency, no openness, in these deals, with Ghana's oil and gas resources, being plundered indiscriminately, under the NDC Mahama led gov't. The country is under siege by ineffective governance and Ghanaians should be very worried, very, very worried, under the recklessness of the NDC gov't.

OKATAKYIE SARPONG, this disclosure should raise questions about some of the country's oil deals. Sadly, the handling of the country's oil deals; regarding contracts, explorations rights and agreements, supposed to be signed with the approval of Parliament have been marked by secrecy and lack of transparency. Given the rampant corruption, fraud and criminality of this NDC Government, Ghanaians should know what is going on with the country's oil, and its wealth. We need public disclosure of such oil contracts to ensure transparency and accountability.

What did EO do Ghana? Nobody hates the president!!! He is corrupt as hell and the whole country knows it. You are definitely behind the curve in your assessment of your President's electoral fortunes in this country. His popularity has sank without trace and it is only you the die hards who will step up for him. JDM is clueless, vision less, corrupt, condenscending and above all incompetent. We dont hate hate him, we just think that he has absolutely noting to contribute to the fortunes of this country. dealing with the substantive article now, I can assure categorically that what has been reported is factual not lies and many more deals will emerge soon. In defense of your president, I suggest that you personally arrange a visit to GNPC and the flagstaff house to clarify the information. In the event that you are refused access, you can go to the Petroleum Comission /NPA for details.

I have said on this forum many times that Ghana needs a Coup d'etat now before things get from bad to worse!! People talk about democracy and elections in 2016. You are emboldening these idiots in power to sell Ghana to the Chinese and themselves before then. Mr. J.J.Rawlings, their godfather, overthrew a constitutionally elected government of Dr. Hilla Liman? The people from the East of the big river saw nothing wrong with that!! This government now is 1000 times worse than during the days of Dr. Hilla Liman!! One or Two years of House Cleaning in Ghana is long overdue!! And the elections will still be conducted in 2016...? Where are the brave soldiers we used to have in Ghana?? Rise up! Rise up!! the brave sons ans daughters of Ghana and Africa! The time is now! Our people are crying and yearning for your bravery and patriotism to shine now!!
Your people are dying everyday through bad roads, bad hospitals, bad schools (under trees) bad sanitation and water!! Those pigs don't care! They are just milking you day by day!!

Kosmos, EO Group and Tullow Oil, how did they come to Ghana? How did these foreign entities cumulatively get a whopping 85% share of our oil blocks, leaving us with only 13%? How was the award of oil exploratory blocks done by Kufour? The official collusion, underhand dealings that was later revealed to have taking place then was scandalous. By inference, this article lacks objectivity because its one-sided and blindly partisan .
