There have been revealations that the Ministry of Health under former President Mahama’s administration, diverted part of a government loan facility for the construction of hospitals to fund the 2016 electioneering campaign of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC).
And least to be surprised by the act is the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, Mr. Bernard Anwti-Boasiako.
The NPP stalwart popularly known as Chairman Wontumi asserted that under the tenure of former President Mahama, he gained notoriety and held a bad record of diverting loans meant for the development of Ghana into his personal account.
According to him though $175 million is huge money to transform some part of Ghana’s health sector, "former President Mahama saw the money as chicken change to divert part of it for his personal use."
“Former President Mahama is corrupt. He didn’t come to enhance the fortunes of Ghana, he became President to deprieve Ghanaians of the best in life. His routine was clear and manifested in his mantra of to create, loot and share”, Mr. Antwi-Boasiako told Peacefmonline.com in an interview.
He continued that “if a president named Mahama can take a car (Ford Explorer) as bribe and award a massive contract, it should tell you that he was licking his lips when the $175 million loan came through. He diverted more than half into his personal account," Chairman Wontumi alleged.
Joy News’ investigations have revealed that the Ministry of Health under the Mahama administration diverted part of a government loan facility on research into the chances of the then governing National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The research was a sub-contract under a 175 million dollar project awarded to British infrastructure company NMS for the construction of seven district hospitals and an integrated IT system.
The research details a discreet work on political and health survey conducted by UK-based SCL Social, the mother company of Cambridge Analytica (CA).
CA, a data analytics firm used personal information harvested from more than 50 million Facebook profiles without permission to build a system that could target US voters with personalised political advertisements based on their psychological profile.
But in Ghana, its other company SCL Social was contracted by the Health Ministry under the Mahama administration to ‘test the attitudes and perceptions of the population towards contemporary issues faced in Ghana…’
SCL Social was paid six million dollars for the sub-contracted work under the 175 million dollar project awarded to NMS.

Patrick@KK, so you want the president to be fixing traffic lights? How can you belittle the presidency. How much money did PRESEC realized during the celebration of their alumni? If the traffic lights benefits the student the more why cant the school authorities fix that at least during the celebration. Everything should be done by the govt. All those booklong people who trooped to the alumni meeting none of them knows who is in charge of traffic lights in Ghana? MORON
My Brother KK, say that again. PRESEC Junction Traffic light has not been working for months, and now it is dangerous for the students to cross to school. In the past one month Nana Addo and Bawumia have been to PRESEC but nothing has been done about it. The Traffic lights at SDA, Adenta Police District Office, Dodowa Junction and Pantang Junction are either "dead" or partially functioning; and this has gone on for months but nobody cares to repair them. Yet they tell us Ghana will rise again.Gradually Ghana is dying, and those who are closer to NPP functionaries will tell you how corrupt this NPP government is. The difference between NPP and NDC is that, whilst the NPP knows how to cover up their thefts and evil doings, NDC is not at good at that, even if the money is GHc 1, NDC will be exposed. Look at how they are misusing Bawumia, and how usuless he has become. In the name of politics, a nice gentleman has become a lier and cooking figure just to lie and deceive people. The tagging of Mahama by Bawumia and his NPPians is a deliberate ploy to disgrace the former President. What didn't Bawumia do to Amissah Authur, yet he had the courage to attend his funeral and spew hypocrisy of the highest order. I was glad Auntie Matilda gave it to him right there. Hypocrites.
I sincerely think Wontumi needs free SHS than any other person in Ghana. Why? Bcos he needs some little education inorder to make meaningful contributions to our national discourse. Chaaiii Ghana don't suffer! What kind of propaganda is this?
So incompetent Mahama stole or diverted 6Million chopable dollars eiii After all the Suba ,Sada etc and alll?he still didn’t spare 6m h33333 but I ain’t surprised and ***barred word*** people say weting ,The guy they reek of corruption like an alcoholic reeks of Alcohol.His appetite for sika die bass basa can never be satiated.Motum banzai And you wanna come back finish from where you left off tseaaaaaaaaa greedy bastards on the sidelines.i will campaign against you p33 haba pls go and sleep somewhere wai the Ghana fo) aber3 was3m
Illiteracy is a disease.Power clouds the conscience of people who are already deficient in character building. Making noise does not make Mahama unpopular. If this is your assignment to derail him I am sorry. Those who feed you with these unsubstantiated facts do not love you. It will play back at you soon.
So hold you fire!
Only the truth in your dream will you think Mahama has a chance. You have nothing doing except to come here and spew ***barred word***, if mahama is something we like he would have been president by now, we don't like him and will vote against him 100×. Look into your ndc and see if everyone like him, if he is something better how on earth could his own appointees contest him? and their message is mahama is not fit to lead ndc, mahama is corrupt, etc and mahama will lose more than 2016, what research did you make in all the regions to come to that? we of those regions who voted for him know this government is suffering because of mahama's mess and we will vote against him at anytime. He is a rogue a conman who used Ghana as a casino and never again. We are waiting for the ndc delegates to go for their conference and see what will come out, so you who are not among those delegates tickle yourselves.He could have used that money for ndc research to build the Ashalley Botwe road, so ndc is a party only when they are in power, they don't have any means to get money to manage their party than relying on the national coffers. that's why when booted they make noise and concoct stories against the best ones. Us*less party with us*less people, Find work to do to manage your party if you are real mean and women and stop the Ghana has to fund your party. Nkwas*eafuo, is that how to manage a party and a country?
Govt fill the portholes at least if you can not construct or rehabilitate the old ones. Travel on the Ashaile Botwe Roard and see how Commuitors are suffering. Come to Osu and see what is happening. Part of the Road from OSU to the old Kingdom Shop has been blocked because it has curved in and nothing is been done and all you do is to talk rubbish.
this cheap politics will not be allow any more yes we know he is a de vil .you the angels u have started falling very soon mahama will be your king.and npp will be falling angels
NPP ! What is wrong with you?. Our roads are bad and people are dieing every but all that you think about is Mahamma ,what a shame!. All the traffic lights at Adenta and its environs are not working for weeks now and vehicles keeps knocking people at Adenta Sakora Junction and the government is not doing anything about these situation but rather wasting our ears with Mahamma who has at least done something. See the turned linking East Legon to Spintex has done little to ease the traffic conjunction and instead of the govt to think about what to do, either to open the old one or add another one , you are talking about the Ex President.
