In Prof. John Evans Atta Mills’ so-called ‘Better Ghana’ where an orange sells at Gp50 in Accra, it is next to impossible to pay for any goods or services of any substance with less than two Ghana cedis. Yet, the Government of the Republic of Ghana has pegged the cost of treating a patient in hospitals and clinics throughout the country at GH¢1.75.

The Chronicle is disappointed that President John Evans Atta Mills has not found it compelling enough to make a full disclosure on the GH¢58 million dole-out to his friend and NDC bankroller, Alfred Agbesi Woyome. By this piece, The Chronicle is serving notice that we would not rest until the truth has been established in [...]
