THE VVIP LOUNGE, GATEWAY OF CO***NE BARONS UNDER JOHN MAHAMA

The VVIP Lounge at the Kotoka International Airport is now officially the Gateway of Co***ne Barons. NDC co***ne barons.

It appears that the NDC has found a honeypot in drug-dealing. It seems it's become a source of revenue generation to satisfy a frightening level of greed by NDC bigwigs.

British Anti-Narcotic officials are pushing for severe diplomatic sanctions as their investigations confirm, once again, that the Presidential VVIP Lounge was used by a well-connected member of Ghana's ruling NDC Government, to traffic co***ne into the United Kingdom.

Investigations into how the Ayawaso East Constituency Organiser of the NDC, Ismalia Ali Horoya, was able to circumvent NACOB operatives at KIA established that the same modus operandi in the case of Ruby Nayeli Ametepe was used in this case. In fact, it was an almost a perfect copycat operation as Horoya was whisked through checks, escorted by senior security officials at the airport.

Ali Horoya, according to the Daily Guide, is a notorious drug baron known to every one within his constituency and therefore his arrest was not a surprise at all.

It will be recalled that, NDC's Nayele Ametefe, who is currently serving a jail term in the UK, was also arrested with co***ne which was trafficked through the VVIP Lounge.

Intelligence from global anti-narcotic circles indicates that Ghana's VVIP Lounge is now referred to in dispatches as GOCB, for Gateway of Co***ne Barons, used purposely in facilitating drug dealing by operatives of the current ruling NDC party in Ghana.

According to a highly placed immigration source at Kotoka International Airport, "the way and manner our VVIP Lounge has become a new gateway for co***ne trafficking by these NDC operatives is very shocking. This goes beyond the arrest of Horoya and Nayele: they are small fries. You will be shocked what else goes on through that lounge, and who else is involved. The only people going through there with drugs are those connected with the Flagstaff House, my brother".

SENATORS SEEK FOREIGN AID CUT IF EX-GITMO INMATES ESCAPE HOST COUNTRY.


Four Republican senators are calling for cutting foreign aid to Ghana if two former Guantanamo Bay prisoners who were transferred to the African nation escape or return to terrorism.

The move marks a renewed effort by security-minded lawmakers to use the power of the purse to effectively pressure other countries considering taking Guantanamo detainees.

In the case of Ghana, the country earlier this month accepted two detainees from Guantanamo Bay, part of the Obama administration’s latest wave of transfers out of the prison camp. But the senators, in a letter Wednesday to key committee leaders, warned that Ghana may be ill-equipped to handle the prisoners.

“The [Ghana] prison system is plagued by decay and mismanagement,” Sens. Mark Kirk, R-Ill.; Roy Blunt, R-Mo.; James Lankford, R-Okla.; and Steve Daines, R-Mont., wrote in the letter.

They said they’re concerned about the government’s “capacity to hold, monitor and ensure these terrorist detainees do not reengage in terrorism against the United States and our allies.”

In the letter to Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Thad Cochran, R-Miss., and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., the senators asked that an upcoming appropriations bill include language cutting aid to Ghana by $10 million per detainee “in the event either of these detainees escapes from confinement or reengages in terrorism” while in their custody.

The request could pose yet another complication as President Obama seeks to bring down the number of detainees at Guantanamo and ultimately shutter the camp, a goal many in Congress oppose. In the process, the administration has had to deal with countries that don’t typically take terror detainees, like Ghana.

The inmates in question, Yemeni detainees Mahmoud Omar Mohammed Bin Atef and Khalid Mohammed Salih al Dhuby, were transferred on Jan. 6.

Bin Atef is an admitted member of the Taliban and fought for Usama bin Laden, while al Dhuby trained with Al Qaeda in Afghanistan.

The two inmates were the first of a group of 17 detainees expected to be transferred out of Guantanamo Bay

JOHN MAHAMA, THE FATHER OF CORRUPTION HAS DONE IT AGAIN.

Once again the father and 'god' of corruption, John Mahama has shown that corruption is him and he is corruption. It will be recalled that few weeks ago, Selassie lbrahim, a very close friend of Mahama was awarded a ghc 3.6 million branding of buses contract through sole sourcing by Mahama himself.

This blatant stealing of money from the public by Mahma through her long time friend, Selassie Ibrahim generated a public outcry in this country. In his usual attempt to pretend that he is clean, Mahama ordered a probe through his corrupt chief of staff, who asked the AG to lead that probe.

The report of the AG was never made public but we were told by the chief of staff, that Selassie lbrahim ought to refund Ghc 1.9 million, the basis of this recommendation was not told to us. But in a leaked report which has just emerged, we are learning that

Mahama was strongly advised by his own AG to prosecute the people behind this wicked stealing of public money but he has refused. He has refused because he cannot prosecute himself and his long time friend.

Mahama is indeed the father and 'god' of corruption.

STUDENTS CANNOT TRUST A HYPOCRITIC AND INSENSITIVE GOVERNMENT: GNUPS CHARGES OVER UTILITY LEVIES ON POLYTECHNIC STUDENTS AND THE RECENT "UNSYMPATHETIC" INCREASE IN UTILITY PRICES, DECLARES SUPPORT FOR ORGANIZED LABOUR DEMONSTRATION

The Ghana National Union of Polytechnic Students (GNUPS) is in a state of tremor and total bemusement about the introduction of utility levies on Polytechnic Students and the recent price hikes in utility tariffs by government.

Our surprise at the government is anchored on the political ideology of a government that prides itself as a social democrat whose political ideologies should ideally be the introduction of social intervention programmes and policies to ease the burden on its citizenry. Government by its recent posture has with shenanigans gone ultra vires to what it professes to be its political ideology. We are calling on government to sit up and innovate ideas that will arrest the ever increasing economic hardships that is being visited on this country especially we the vulnerable ones.

UTILITY LLEVIES ON POLYTECHNIC STUDENTS

Tertiary Education in Ghana has finally become a preserve for the rich due to lack of government support for the running of our schools. Many students in recent years have had to make a difficult choice of deferring their programmes due to the inability to pay their fees. Students in tertiary institutions currently pay directly for everything in connection with our training except the salaries of our lecturers (which we do through payment of our taxes) and the government doesn't seem to be bothered about this.

Ghanaians may recall that the government after an unsuccessful attempt to push a cost sharing policy on utilities down the throats of Tertiary Students at the UPSA FORUM, came out categorically to affirm the status quo of subventing the utilities consumed by Tertiary Institutions. GNUPS has since been suspecting that statement as another government propaganda since Management of our institutions, the electricity company of Ghana and the Ministry of Education kept singing a discord on whose responsibility it is to pay for the utilities consumed by tertiary institutions.

Our suspicion of a deceit on the part of government on the matter went further when Vice Chancellors Ghana and CORP attempted to negotiate with students on a charge for utilities this academic year. In a response to threats of unrests from students, a deceitful government acting through Mr. Okudzeto Ablakwa came to refute reports of government passing on the cost to students.

It has become abundantly clear that the government for want of cheap political points is playing a head-knocking advocacy by telling ECG to go after our schools for their cash, asking management of our institutions to charge students towards settlement of the debts and revert to wash hands before students on its involvement in any arrangement to charge us the cost of utilities.

Perhaps GNUPS may restore little of its trust for the government if the under listed questions are answered:

Is the government now telling students it now lacks needed powers to enforce its policies in our institutions especially that on payment of utilities which has been in operation since establishment of the first tertiary institution in Ghana?

Is it not a bare face deceit to pronounce innocence on yourself when your appointees acting in this matter supports the contrary to your supposed position?

Why has the Ministry of Education failed to take action since petitions were sent to them on the ongoing imposition of utility charges on students in our Polytechnics?

As before cautioned, GNUPS shall resist with all our might, this cruelty of passing cost of utilities onto students of Ghana. Tertiary Students have endured enough.

INCREASE IN UTILITY TARIFFS AND TAXES

How justified is government in the astronomical increment of utility tariffs in the face of DUMSOR? Government should pay the huge debt it owes the utility companies if government is sincere about its commitment to resuscitate the companies. This is the height of irresponsibility and insensitivity; that government plays oblivion to its own mess and then pours the ravaging consequences on the feeble citizenry.

How justified is government in the astronomical increment of petroleum products in the face of the sharp decline in global prices and the relative stability of the Cedi in recent times? In any case why is government egregiously running away from its own baby, the automatic price adjustment formula?

What we find striking and unconscionable is when government fails to retrieve substantial amounts of money that have been siphoned from state purse by some officials and yet come to impose UNSYMPATHETIC policies on citizenry. Most of those kleptomaniacs have gotten away with those monies which could otherwise be used in the interest of the state to relief the humongous hardships which we are suffering now. Those monies must be retrieved and culprits prosecuted before we can entrust government with additional resources!

As students trained to be technocrats and as good citizens, we cannot downplay the relevance of taxes in progressive societies, however, the problem arises when the government fails to be innovative in resource mobilization and tends to lazily end its spleen on citizenry by way of enforcing UNSYMPATHETIC taxes. GNUPS is of the conviction as is the case always, that such UNSYMPATHETIC taxes serve as basis for tax evasion whose cascading effect would be government's inability to meet its revenue targets. Such taxes are also slow poisons that kill businesses and impinges their growth leading to high rates of unemployment. Government must sit up!

The president in his press interaction on the12th of January, 2016 asserted his preparedness to listen to Ghanaians. We believe in this statement by the president and proceed to hold him to it. Mr. President we are suffering and gradually being impoverished by the policies mentioned above. Kindly listen to your people.

GNUPS is by this release calming down the over 45,000 polytechnic students across the country and lending full support to organized labour in their combat to reverse the "UNSYMPATHETIC" increment.

We assure government that, we shall not fail to remove our foot off the breaks if it fails to apply its breaks first. We are prepared to mount a relentless ALUTA that will ensure reversals take place especially with the imposition of utility levies on students.

Long Live GNUPS
Long Live Ghana

Ex-Gitmo detainee reportedly a suspect in killing of Ugandan prosecutor

BY THOMAS JOSCELYN | April 7, 2015 | [email protected] |

An ex-Guantanamo detainee named Jamal Kiyemba has been arrested as a suspect in the assassination of Joan Kagezi, a senior counterterrorism prosecutor in Uganda. At the time of her death late last month, Kagezi was playing a lead role in the trial of 12 men who are accused of taking part in bombings in the capital of Kampala on July 11, 2010. More than 70 people were killed in the dual su***de attacks, which were carried out by a Shabaab unit named after a deceased al Qaeda operative.

Kiyemba’s arrest was first reported by NTV in Uganda. Several suspects were arrested in an “operation” that “was carried out by the Uganda Police Force with the support of US government personnel,” NTV reported. The news agency also released a short biography for Kiyemba that can be viewed on YouTube.

In a pair of tweets, NTV investigative journalist Solomon Serwanjja reported that the US Embassy in Uganda has confirmed the Americans’ involvement in Kiyemba’s arrest. “The US gov’t supported police operations that led to the arrest of several suspects involved in Joan Kagezi’s murder,” Serwanjja wrote in one tweet earlier today. “We can confirm that former Guantanamo Bay detainee Jamal Kiyemba was detained in connection with the Joan Kagezi murder,” Serwanjja cited the US Embassy as saying in another.

Kagezi was gunned down on Mar. 30 “after she left her car – in which she was traveling with two of her children on the way home from work – to buy groceries in a Kampala suburb,” the Associated Press (AP) reported. “After shooting her in the head and neck, the gunmen fled on a motorcycle during heavy vehicular traffic, according to local police.”

The US Embassy released a statement the following day, denouncing the terrorists responsible and praising Kagezi as “heroine in the forefront of the fight against crime and terrorism.”

Detained at Guantanamo for several years

Jamal Kiyemba was first detained sometime after the 9/11 terrorist attacks by Pakistani authorities, who suspected that he was traveling to Afghanistan to wage jihad on behalf of the Taliban and al Qaeda. He was transferred to US custody and detained at Guantanamo until Feb. 7, 2006, when he was transferred to his home country of Uganda.

US officials at Joint Task Force – Guantanamo (JTF-GTMO) described Kiyemba as a “medium” threat, as opposed to “low” or “high,” in a leaked threat assessment memo dated Nov. 3, 2004. JTF-GTMO recommended that Kiyemba be transferred “to the control of another country for continued detention.”

Kiyemba “is an admitted jihadist who attempted travel to Afghanistan following the 9/11 attacks,” JTF-GTMO concluded. Kiyemba “is committed to defending Islamic nations against aggression” and he justified waging jihad against “any system like democracy [that] tries to end Islamic law.”

“I had no problem engaging the US in combat for purposes of jihad,” JTF-GTMO quoted Kiyemba as saying in the threat assessment.

Kiyemba’s journey to South Asia allegedly began in England, where he “obtained a false student identification card…using the false name Jamal Abdullah, and the country of origin as Kenya.” He received assistance from Jama’at Tablighi (JT), a missionary organization that al Qaeda regularly used as a cover for its operations, and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), a Pakistani jihadist group tied to al Qaeda.

While in Peshawar, Kiyemba “received military training in the use of the AK-47…from support members belonging to the” LeT, JTF-GTMO found. He was detained in Peshawar alongside two Sudanese jihadists, both suspected of being al Qaeda operatives, and a Mauritanian described as a “low level jihadist” by JTF-GTMO. The trio were also detained at Guantanamo before being transferred to their respective home countries in 2007 and 2008.

In press reports published after his release from Guantanamo, Kiyemba admitted that he had joined the Taliban in order to fight against American forces. Through his lawyer, Kiyemba also claimed that he was tortured at Guantanamo.

Prior to his reported arrest in Uganda earlier today, Kiyemba was probably best known for being the named party on habeas corpus challenges filed on behalf of Guantanamo detainees.

It is not known what role Kiyemba is suspected of playing in Kagezi’s assassination.
