The controversies surrounding the $2.25 billion bond by government seems to linger on as the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) is set to hold a press conference to reveal more facts.
This was made known by the Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudjeto Ablakwah during a panel discussion on Radio Gold’s Alhaji and Alhaji, Saturday.
According to him, ‘a clear message ought to be sent to the NPP government that insults cannot win’. It is clear to us that the finance minister and the government of president Nana Addo Danquah Akufo Addo is hiding a lot from the people. This is not good governance. This transaction has been shrouded in so much secrecy and the continuous attempt of the finance minister to deny the good people of this country of information is so unacceptable…We will be holding a press conference to put out more revealing facts about the way the Parliament of Ghana has been treated by the finance minister. This whole transaction stinks and we will continue to wage this war until justice is found in this matter.
Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta in an address to Parliament maintained that the $2.25 billion bond issued in April was done transparently without any “breaches of integrity.”
According to him, the Minority’s insistence on finding fault with the bond was borne out of ignorance.
“It may be tempting to say that the apparent attempt to manufacture some form of integrity deficit in the process is generally borne out of a lack of understanding of the actual process on the part of the Minority,” he stated

What do you know about the issuance of bonds?
Massa the only people that will understand this C0KE and Bull stories from this corrupt Ndc group are themselves pathological 1airs and thie,ves .
Ablakwa's constituents are still drinking dirty pond water with cattle yet that doesn't concern him. He is chasing after the wind with his teeth like that of a grasscutter.
Is that the reason why the President is in the US? IT WON'T WASH. You can't bribe the US SEC. Watch out Akuffo Addo.
God bless you with courage Ablakwa as you pursue this deal that is so tainted with insider trading, half truths and cover ups. Ghanaians need to know the full facts. Let Ofori Atta be reminded that this is our country Ghana and not one of his get rich quick schemes of one of his companies. We need him to disclose the full facts not what suits him. Ken Ofori Atta can't ***barred word*** us with his smooth talk anymore.
When i heard pathological liar Ablaka was leading or headlining tje bond saga i laugh saa enter my washroom.you remember the 'parliament bribe' scandal and how it ended?thats how this will end.they know there is nothing hiding there but they want to stretch their lies aaah.Its like lets soeak a lie continuosly and it may turn into the truth.liars.***barred word***.creat loot and share is their stock in trade.a former Msg MCE recently said they were feeling the heat in opposition.tweaa pls continue your comfortable lead in opposition.
These people think we don't know their real intentions.They are fully aware that if they allow the government space to implement their agenda on zongo development, a reliable railway system, one district one factory, free ShS, educational reforms they might as well say bye,bye to power for ever. This is the genesis of all that we are hearingSabotage is the real motive behind all this n0ns3nse.People ,you must by now know who your enemies are.Those whose only aim is to st3al and rob the nation or those who come with pro-poor interventions. Choose now. Help Nana Addo to make life a little easier for all of us. It is doable.
Massa; Why are these kleptomaniac kriminal gang call the NDC wailing about the $2.5 billion ; did they listen to the arguments submitted on Newsfile and have they not submitted a petition to the CHARJ and the US securities Agency for te matter to be investigated ; why can't they wait for the response from these people ; if they want a bit of the secret in this matter it is simple ; the bonds were raised in cedis besides the difference between the official bond bid by the runners and the excess funds raised on sole sources was that the book runners were unable to convince investors to take all the debt by the government ; FT decided to take debt as the remaining debt was not taken by all the investors; it is simple as that ; the finance minister used his contacts and connections to convince FT to purchase the debt ;part of the debt the amount was added to our reserves to bolster the cedi today the cedi is marginally stable ; this Ablakwa guy should understand that it is CONTACTS AND CONNECTIONS that runs the world financial markets not the paper qualification you obtain at UNI ; who does Ablakwa; Ato Forson ; Seth Terpkor know in the debt financial market; the NDC were borrowing at very high rates and steeling the monies whilst this government got the lower rates for the debt and using the cash to manage our debt ; the trouble is had the NDC managed the economy well ; there would have bben no need top go and borrow again ; WHY ARE ND SO ***barred word*** !!!!
Are they NDC now complaining about insults? When Koku Anyidoho insulted Dr. Bawumia and called him names what did you guys do? Nothing. Go ahead and hold your use11ess press conference. It will not change anything. Send any evidence you have to the US securities and CHRAJ.... We are tired of you cr!m!nal NDC guys and your lies. Look at what you guys did to parliament? Lies lies lies..... Destroying the very own institution you belong. The speaker has been very lenient to you guys.
NDC, the create loot and share brigade doesn't want the country to progress.
