Ghana is broke and messy - KT Hammond

By Festus A Anim -


A former Deputy Energy Minister, Kobina Tahir Hammond says government is broke and will not be able to settle debts owed gas supplier Nigeria Gas.

According to him, government's failure to settle its debts to power producers in Ghana accounts for their inability to clear up debts owed Nigeria gas.

"Ghana owes VRA, ECG and other power producers and so how will they be able to pay off debts to Nigeria. Dumsor will indeed continue till government settles its people" he stressed.

Nigeria has threatened to reduce the volume of gas it supplies through the 678-kilometre stretch of pipeline to Ghana if it does not get information on how Ghana plans to pay the money.

This means that Ghana's power rationing could get worse after Wednesday if government does not deal with a $180-million debt owed gas supplier Nigeria Gas.

A former Chief Executive Officer of the national power generator, Volta River Authority, Dr Charles Wereko-Brobby who confirmed the issue said Nigerian authorities have given a tomorrow deadline to "hear something satisfactory" from the Ghana government.

But the Adansi Asokwa legislator on Asempa FM's Ekosi Sen Tuesday indicated that since the Aboadze thermal plant is bedeviled with fundamental difficulties, settling Nigeria Gas will not happen anytime soon.

"There are so many challenges in our power supply system and so even if government has to settle the Nigeria gas, it has to fix the mess in our power supply before. But I'm not seeing it anytime soon because the country is broke" he asserted.

The Minority spokesperson on Energy indicated he has no sympathies for the Mahama-led government and charged them to deal with the situation because former president John Agyekum Kufuor's government did it when there was gas shortage in the country.

It is an inevitable fact that Daddy Lumba doesn't mind anybody when it comes to the manner of songs he sings. Many a time, he's criticized for the profanity of his songs. But as usual, he doesn't give a fuck about what others say. Nonetheless, Yaa Pono is another replica of Daddy Lumba. Moreover, their mentality and approach to issues are similar to how Shatta Wale also see things. So we can conclude that, to some extent that Shatta Wale, Daddy Lumba and Yaa Pono are like-minded. Prior to Shatta Wale's realisation of this, he sent out a heart warming shoutout declaring his love for Daddy Lumba and Yaa Pono.

Who is a MAN?

By Festus A Anim -

A man is a beautiful part of God's creation who starts compromising at a very tender age. He sacrifices his chocolates for his sister. He sacrifices his dreams for just a smile on his parents face. He spends his entire pocket money on buying gifts for the lady he loves just to see her smiling. He sacrifices his full youth for his wife & children by working late at night without any complain. He builds their future by taking loans from banks & repaying them for lifetime. He struggles a lot & still has to bear scolding from his mother, wife & boss. His life finally ends up only by compromising for others' happiness. If he goes out, then he's careless If he stays at home, then he's a lazy If he scolds children, then he's a monster If he doesn't scold, then he's a irresponsible guy If he stops wife from working, then he's an insecure guy If he doesn't stops wife from working, then he's somebody who lives on...
