Ghana risks losing $40m land in Pakistan
Minister for Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey |
Ghana risks losing a parcel of land worth $40 million located in the capital of Pakistan, Islamabad.
The land which was allocated to the country for construction of its embassy has currently been encroached upon by Malaysia.
According to the 2016 auditor general report, both France and Canada have expressed interest in the land prompting the Pakistani authorities to urge Ghana to develop the land or lose it.
Appearing before the Public Accounts Committee, the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey said her Ministry has no money for construction of a fence wall to secure the land at a cost of $180,000.
“What will be the ideal thing is to wall it and secure the piece of land. Unfortunately, it will cost us about €160,000 which we do not have at the moment. So it is the issue of lack of resources. The limited resources that we have, we are having to apply it to the countries where we have missions,” she told the Committee.
Asked if Ghana was that poor it could not get €160,000 to secure the land which is valued $40 miilion, the Foreign Affairs minister assured that she would look for the money “someway, somehow” to secure the land.

Martin Amidu Must Investigate Corrupt Haruna Iddrisu By Fadi Dabbousi
Martin Alamisi Burnes Kaiser Amidu(Special Prosecutor) |
Haruna Iddrisu
cannot extricate himself from the corruption that had riddled the erstwhile NDC
governments of 2008 and 2012.
Recently, his calls
seemed to insinuate that he backed the candidacy of a more iconic character of
dubiousness in his umbrella party against John Dramani Mahama (eii, His
Excellency ooo, sorry).
It somehow smacked
of gross double entendre, albeit undecided on which stake to be impaled at.
And Martin Amidu
would spar with the nation as if he were toying with the job of special
prosecutor. Does he not know that Haruna Iddrisu began politics directly after
completing university?
What did he have at
all that he should be filthy rich now? Martin Amidu seems to be living in a
cloud shrouded by the fluff of power and prestige.
Tamale has recorded
a gross amassment of wealth by shoeless vagabonds turned politicians.
In the case of
Haruna Iddrisu, there are so many allegations of impropriety, some being
indicated by indiscriminate profligacy and mass acquisition of landed property.
The flats that it is
said he owns at Vitin and other places in Tamale speak a lot.
Just like Huudu
Yahya, who acquired the Tamale Guest House around Kalpohine along the Residency
Road, which he subsequently renamed TOAHZI after his grandfather.
Of course it was
said that he muscled it from many hungry and greedy bastards at the time
(during the PNDC era).
Besides, who cares
what his position is with regards to the obnoxious NDC party candidates.
The very candidates
who have reared their square heads cannot fit in the round holes of reason at
all.
Joshua Alabi, in
spite of his big mouth and half kilo lips cannot explain the tens of millions
of dollars that dissipated under his chairmanship at SSNIT.
Soon, he would be
implicated as the shamed cat gradually lets itself out of the bag. No matter
how long dust is kept under the carpet, when it is struck, the nose will
definitely sneeze.
Alban Bagbin is
really no less a sissy than a shamed makola sex worker! Chai, the man cannot
hold on to a woman long enough than someone hurtles along and leisurely
snatches her away. If you cannot control your secretary how do you expect to
have the wisdom to control a whole nation? This Alban Bagbin guy is not a funny
joke at all.
Spio Gabrah it is
said commands more sense than the rest. I beg to differ, he was an abysmal
failure as minister of trade and minister of communications.
When he was minister
of education, illiteracy skyrocketed to unprecedented levels. Under his watch,
biology students did not even know what a gynecologist was. It was said that
his greed was worrisome.
Rawlings even had
reservations about his dishonesty, allegedly. And Kwesi Botchwey cannot be
forgotten. His era saw the worst depreciation of the Cedi.
In fact, during his
time, the cedi depreciated 300% in less than one month. Many people lost their
financial muscle and many others committed suicide. How can this draconian
failure be President of Ghana? NDCfo) abr3 oooo 3ne amne3 hunu.
Martin Amidu knows
these people all too well. He should spare us the complaints and the whining,
and go for their heads. They must be brought to book for all the
mischievousness and malfeasance cum misfeasance that they brought to suffer
upon the poor Ghanaian all the years that they had assumed power.
Oh and Sylvester
Mensah! The dude, it was claimed, was a toothless thief. All the theft that
allegedly took place at NHIA under Sylvester Mensah must be investigated.
Martin Amidu,
however, seems to be comfortable in his swivel chair throwing a fit where it is
not needed and echoing tantrums instead of firing at the job on the ground.
But for Sylvester
Mensah to bamboozle Ghanaians, such is a farfetched unachievable ambition! He
wants to use the stolen booty to become president.
Herh, anka )b3te
kpe333. Last but not the least, there is the famous “American bogga latrician”.
His case is a bit serious. He just might electrocute the whole nation with his
dunderheadedness. Well, let them tickle themselves, NPP is in for a long time to
come. #Thieves!
