POKUASI2: absolute trash. Your slum capital get submerged every single time it rain for at least, 30 minutes. There's no single year that Accra has not been flooded. Every single year.
[/s]
You are frustrated.... Go and obey the laws and stop the noise.
You won't find peace in any country if you don't obey laws
POKUASI2: which12 hrs fool?! It only rain for 2hrs and your slum capital was submerged. Serwaa Broni, the Canada Ghanaian gay prostitute that your pumped balloon president spent all the borrowed money is a prostitute. She stated herself that she's a lesbian. What Normal country will have her citizens wake up, take excavators, driving into diplomatic premises and start bringing down diplomatic buildings. AMA should focus more on building toilets in ghana's capital. We're tired of seeing waste in black rubber bags that are ran over by cars in public roads. Tell AMA to build toilets and give gaynians a dignified place of convenience
Do you even know when it started raining? It started from 5pm all the way to the next morning.... The feature of all good cities are, flood waters vanish immediately it stop raining.. from Tokyo to Berlin to Miami to Austin and etc.
Learn to paragraph your lazy write up.
If you don't obey laws, you'll always come here ranting your frustrations. The situation you're in is of your own creation.
Laws are very easy to obey in order to have your own peace of mind... So many of your fellow country try men are obeying the laws and having a peaceful living.
Why are you not law abiding... You'll always suffer if you can't obey the legal regime
Just be lawful and you won't have any problems with the AMA.
Here is not the place to come and wail because of your own lawlessness...
Anyway, have you acquired your none citizenship Ghana Card? If you haven't, you have 2 months to acquire it.... Else between July and December, you might get deported.
There will be a ruthless crackdown... Your phone lines will be blocked and bank accounts closed if you don't have one.
Ghana already has an additional 250MW solar project ongoing in addition to the over 150Mw in operation.
The energy investment I'm talking about is 5 billion dollars 1000mw nuclear energy plant... and between 10 to 13 billion dollars additional thermal energy investment to drive Ghana energy production from the current almost 6,000MW to 10,000Mw by 2027 when Ghana electricity consumption will be 7000mw
NTSA: Laughable...Kenya also has projects across the entire country has actulized project across the entire country . Largest windfarm in Africa,Deepest sea port in Africa,Galana Kulalu Irrigation scheme, expansion of Mwea tebbere irrigation scheme,Thiba Dam,Karemenu Dam, One of the largest solar farms in the region. Dongo kundu special Economic zone,Naivasha inland port, Nairobi inland port , revival of the old Mgr ,Nairobi commuter rail,Brt project over 700km border fence,Roads , Fiber optic coverage across the entire country,extra submarine cables,One of the Largest data center being constructed at Konza , Northern water collector tunnel just to name a few.
Kenya project are just situated in Nairobi..
None explains where your govt spent those borrowed money. And most of these things will not be able to repay your debt.
Talking about irrigation dams, Ghana built over 120 of them in Northern Ghana over the last few years....
Now there's a massive one billion dollars irrigation dam construction going on.
NTSA: Most of what we have borrowed has gone to finance major infrastructural projects that will repay themselves in the long run over 300KM sgr , Lamu PORT,Expansion of Mombasa port , kipevu oil terminal,Damen shipyards ,Dams ,roads etc. What Ghana does with its debt is still a wonder to me considering you have 16 economic bailouts and you are headed to another economic crisis.
most of our borrowings has gone to finance major projects ... That cut across all of Ghana.
While your country is now getting a shipyard, we've had one for over 40 years.
Your president has borrowed over 50 billion dollars and 300km SGR is all you can talk about?
Mine is almost done with 1500km
Mine has spent 16 billion dollars building additional 20,000km of roads and about one billion dollars on interchanges.
We have spent 18 billion dollars securing over energy future. Now we have already gotten to the point of spending additional 10 to 15 billion dollars to extend our electricity generation capacity.
5 billion dollars will go to nuclear energy.
What has Kenya done with all it borrowed money? Because 300km of sgr and a few 100km of roads is not enough
NTSA: Maybe you should start by explaining how comes Ghana has a record 16 IMF bailouts and is still struggling with debt. After redominated your Cedi, why is it loosing its value so fast?
Soon after you explain how you've ended up borrowing so much money from the IMF and WB than Ghana will ever borrow.
The Cedi still remains more valuable than the kshs and it will remain so for years to come.
vankelvin: But all sentiments aside our Clueless President has done pretty well in the roads sector
Yeah... As much as I like to bash him, I give him credit for having to add 20,000km of paved roads to our paved roads network by the time is tenure is over.
I wait to see that same effort in the health sector. What I'm seeing is, they're are spending borrowed monies to acquire stakes in the oil sector and develop it for themselves.
20,000Km at 800,000 dollars per kilometer is 16 billion dollars spent on the road sector alone
rvp2018: Nobody is going to lend you anymore. Dont even think about it. Even debt vultures will not touch a skunk like Ghana.
If we want to borrow, we can borrow and everyone will want to lend to Ghana at lucrative coupons and they wouldn't have to worry because Ghana still have enough fiscal space with 45% debt servicing to revenue.
No one is willing to lend to your broke zoo Kenya.
Why do you think your govt was begging Ghana to negotiate debt relief for you, 2 years ago.
It was trying to avoid this desperate situation it is in currently
rvp2018: Study this graph keenly - and start to dollarize.
The graph means absolutely nothing ...
It just mean that is Ghana wants to borrow, it will be expensive.
Unfortunately Kenya so badly need debt and without it, the entire country will collapse and if it borrows too, the entire country will collapse because it won't be able to repay the loans.
You see how desperate things are for you, no wonder you guys are so desperate here.
rvp2018: We balance - we 50 percent domestic; 50 external; of the external; we avoid commercial loans like eurobond; we do 75 percent zero interest long maturity development loans from china/worldbank/and such...these are concessional loans...that you dont worry about.
Now move to Ghana almost 80 percent external debt; almost 80 percent of that external debt is commercial; CRAAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZY
One good thing - you're in good company in Ghana - everyone there seem to been mad !!
so now you don't have more domestic debt than external, you rather balance ?
When will you stop telling lies just to make a point ?
You do what 70% long interest what?
Your debt servicing cost is 14 billion dollars per annum... Tell me more about long servicing..... Stop lying and your country will developed properly.
Ghana has 48% 52% external and domestic debt, last I checked..
rvp2018: You respond with evidence - not diarhoea!
I've posted it several times here and everyone has seen.
Instead of running away from facts and pulling shit out your ass to make silly comments, you can start by telling the truth so Kenyan can come out of this mess.
When all Kenyans start doing this, your country will start getting things right so all Kenyans can become better.
rvp2018: What are you saying Niggah? Want to write in Twi? or this just beyond your paygrade??
Your country borrowed foolishly and spent on unprofitable ventures and now it is unable to pay it public and civil servants because debt servicing is 80% of revenue.
It is even not able to buy fuel..
Economics is not your thing humble yourself and be taught simple stuff
rvp2018: Dont gorge yourself on external debt. You need to develop domestic debt market. Nigeria has done it. Kenya has I think 2nd most advanced domestic debt market after South Africa.
Instead of flouting Eurobond - float domestic bonds.
You're exposed to exogenous or external risk like Ukraine with external debt - and it out of your control
only a fool will out borrowing the private sector in the domestic market .... No wonder Kenyan private sector is not able to create enough jobs for Kenyans because they can't really expand profitable businesses.
A govt duty is not to borrow in the domestic market when it needs funds. This is counter productive
Ghana's Debt 2022 According to its April 2022 Fiscal Monitor report, the country's total debt was estimated at 81.8 per cent of GDP in 2021, higher than the 80.1 per cent, approximately GH¢351.8 billion quoted by the Bank of Ghana.Apr 26, 202
In 2020, debt service alone (paying interest plus amortisation) consumed 70% of revenue. That's close to the level of 72% before the country subscribed to the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries initiative.Feb 20, 2022
first of... Get your facts right
Ghana debt to GDP is not 70%
Ghana debt to revenue is 45% as at April
Now what's your next desperate excuse for Kenya 80% debt servicing?
rvp2018: How will you understand when you're mad? Ghana and Zambia are cojoined twins for as long as I can remember. You always make the wrong choices. Kenya majority of debt is domestic debt. It impossible to default on domestic debt. Because gov can just mint money and pay off. Now we are very very careful with external debt.
Move to Ghana - you have almost very little domestic debt - and lots of external debt. External debt is paid in dollars. Your cedis depreciate by 20 percent - you need 20 percent more dollars to pay off.
This is why you're likely to default - EXTERNAL DEBT
typical Kenyan lunacy.
You do realize that things are far better in Zambia than in Kenya?
You do realize that you can't default on your domestic debt right? You do realize that you borrowed them in dollar denomination right? You do realize that if Kenya default on domestic debt with it has to pay in hard currency, a lot of Kenyans will have to sell their wives to European tourist right ?
The cascading effect will be so dangerous for your society.
At least 14 developing economies tracked in a Bloomberg gauge have debt yields at an excess of 1,000 basis points over US Treasuries, a threshold for bonds to be considered distressed.
The added pressures of rising food and energy prices has already started to bubble up in other countries, including Egypt, Tunisia and Peru. It risks turning into a broader debt debacle and yet another threat to the world economy’s fragile recovery from the pandemic. Pakistan, Ethiopia and Ghana are also in danger of following suit , Bloomberg Economics said last month.
The only country following Sri Lanka right now is Kenya with your current desperate food queues and fuel queues.
Next will be your current election getting messy because of the level of poverty on your streets
rvp2018: Ghana borrowed Eurobond that is not ringfenced to any project. It worst FORM of BORROWING. You just borrow and dump the money into the budget - if it stolen or misused then you get debt trap without anything to show for it.
Chinese loans are ring fenced to a project. For example - Kenya borrowed 5Billion dollars for SGR - we didnt get the money - we got the railway. We have borrowed another 3B dollars from China - we didnt get the money - we got roads, dams, and such.These are tangible projects that even if they are not profitable (they are not suppose to be) - we will have them for years - and the will produce multiplier effect/
But Eurobond is risky - it send Zambia to crisis - and Ghana is next.
Countries should borrow Eurobond as last resort...it better to borrow from China or Africa Dev Bank or World Bank or even French Dev or Japanase Dev Banks...who will RING FENCE the money into tangible projects.
African gov with their corruption should NOT be given money - just like that. We need China kind of loans where you barely get to hold the money - they give the loan - and pay the chinese contractor - you get what you want - a road or railway or dam or power project.
After few years - if anyone ask where 10B dollars Ghana gov has borrowed went into - there is nothing - just blank stares. If it was China loan - the chinese would take you and show you this is the money.
I wonder why you comment on things you have the least knowledge on.
Between Kenya and Ghana, there's only one country that the borrowing has affected negatively and that is Kenya.
The bread lines and fuel lines in your country show that the borrowing had no positive economic effect on your country as the monies went into unprofitable ventures and the rest looted.
