The Minister of Defence, Dominic Nitiwul says former Minister of Foreign Affairs in the erstwhile NDC administration did not keep a copy of the agreement Ghana signed with the United States of America in 2015.
“When I met the agreement; and they had made copious references to earlier agreement we have signed with them which are still in force…. Infact the base document that they used in preparing this agreement is the agreement Ghana signed with them in 2015 by Hanna Tetteh but unfortunately Ghana didn’t have a copy of that agreement. It was the Americans that actually gave us that agreement (copy)…so while we signed the agreement with the Americans and they kept a copy, Ghana did not keep any copy; because it was not in the handing over notes; and I wrote to the Foreign Minister and she checked her archives and she didn’t have it as well and the armed forces didn’t have it and so clearly we didn’t know this agreement has been signed…
Until they made reference to it I didn’t have any idea…it was when Ghana Armed Forces were meeting with the Americans over how to structure this agreement; a month ago…then Americans gave them a copy of the ‘Hannah Tetteh agreement’. That is how we messed up ourselves as a country,” he said.
Nitiwul who was contributing to a panel discussion on Joy FM’s newsfile programme, Saturday said he does not understand why the opposition NDC are complaining of the agreement when they signed it.
“The very things Ghanaians especially the NDC, are speaking against today, they signed it…”

Now Mahama understand why we said his government was incompetent, even a JSS graduate would have taken a copy. Reckless NDC leaders with no purpose and direction.
Now I know NDC guys are far wiser than NPP guys. Getmo 2 NDC signed a wrong deal NPP came and rectified it. Now US Army agreement again NDC signed a wrong agreement, NPP came and rectified it with even more additions. Are we that stupiddddddddd as a nation, we are indeed a best description of a shitholeeeeeeeeeeee.
So u didn't have a copy of that so called aggreement signed in 2015 and u boldly make reference to it??? A whole defence minister doesn't know that even if that so called 2015 aggreement is true, by the fact that it didn't go to parliament, it was null and void..??? Ghana is indeed in the wrong hands ✋. Change has come ampa.... Ghanaians better wise up. This minister knows nothing about defence and security.
A failed government indeed! so all the bad things done by tor he Mahama government can not be changed then what is the need of you coming into power? I have regretted voting for NPP. You called for a change and when given power, you are rather adding more debris "CHANGE MY YASS"I think the defense minister is not qualify to be the country's main protective man. NPP has disappointed us totally.Come 2020 Nana Addo's government will find it very tough wining the election because people are finding things difficult to bear with their mix-ups. That is why NDC believe they can come back to power which i don't think it will be possible.
u guysjust gave me another reason to believe that i wasted my time campaigning for u. we brought u in to help fix the mess ndc created and not to add more to it. we all know ndc will sign any document as in as much money as low as 1 pesewa is involved. they will burn d documents after signing it. nobody knows abt what they sign until it comes into reality. I am highly disappointed in u guys and i wont hide that. u cant tell me u could not do anything about. if so then why does it need to go to parliament for ratification? just tell us u did so bcos of the money involve which is very obvious. u needed that money very badly. where is our independence as a country if we can not stand against any request from these people? why wont we be referred to as sh%th0les? I am still using my tongue to count my teeth and by 2020 I will be able to count all and then we will see. this is a not not not
NPP government why the eug into signing this diabolically orchestrated agreement. What promises have they given you that we don’t know? Oh Nana Addo we have so soon regretted bringing you tonpower.
DONT MIX APPLES WITH ORANGES
WE DO NOT LIKE THIS DEAL. GET OUT OF IT.
Intellectuals will not blame Mahama Administration but the current government. I have only one question to ask, Why the current government rushed to pass this bill? Now we have see the difference between a group of people who can pledged heaven and earth to Ghanaian but cannot deliver on their pledges. Many of their pledges are now albatross on their neck, simply, No money for such Pledges . SHS students are suffering headmaster cannot talk, who dare them to talk that may be the end to their work. I remember the popular quote, WE WISH FOR WAR AND NOW WE HAVE"
Did you come to fix NDC's mess or to continue it?
