Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe

He has been bitterly and desperately crying to be allowed back into Jubilee House, so that he can have another criminally undeserved chance to negotiate another sheaf of fraudulent bribery contracts with foreign companies and governments at the expense of the very Ghanaian citizen and taxpayer whose low-premium National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) he thoroughly bankrupted in less than two years, after assuming the democratic reins of governance in what has been widely rumored to have been a palace coup and an assassination of an incumbent President John Evans Atta-Mills. So, how could the Serial and the Dynastic Presidential Candidate of Ghana's main opposition party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), claim to have piloted the Ship of Our Beloved Sovereign Democratic Republic with any level of competence worthy of qualifying him for the awarding of a second, nonconsecutive, term of office by the same Ghana electorate that has twice roundly rejected him?

I had a vested interest in Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia rsquo;s selection of his Running-Mate for the 2024 Presidential Election because on August 2, 2018, when I paid a visit to President Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in his capacious and well-appointed office suite at Jubilee House, I underscored the overriding significance of his need to gun for a second presidential term, if the former Attorney-General and Minister of Justice was really serious about having Vice-President Bawumia succeed him, in

I have followed the protracted attempt by the National Democratic Congress rsquo; Member of Parliament for North-Tongu Constituency, in the Akufo-Addo-trimmed Volta Region, Mr. Samuel Okudzeto-Ablakwa, to both seriously undermine the integrity of the twice-elected Akufo-Addo-led government of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), as well as effectively scuttle the apparently stalled construction of the National Cathedral, and can only conclude without any qualms that the Mahama and the Atta-Mills goon

For those of our readers who may not know the man, Dr. Anthony Nsiah-Asare is the bulwark behind much of the comprehensive phenomenon that is the National Healthcare Policy Program and Agenda of the Akufo-Addo-led social-intervention oriented government of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). He was also the well-respected and academically “untouchable” senior of this author at Okwawu-Nkwatia's St. Peter's Secondary School, then popularly known all over the country and abroad as PERSCO.

The real story, as usual, was very likely not told by the characteristically parochially minded Ghanaian print journalist who retailed the same, presumably on deadline, to the general reading public. I am talking about the Ghana News Agency (GNA)-generated piece captioned “UG Lecturer, Students Busted Over GH₡106,800 Bed and Room Allocation Scandal” Modernghana.com 6/26/24). Very likely, the rank and rancid culture of fraudulent pretenses regarding the illegal sale of rooms and beds to students desperate for the same at the apparently overpopulated and overenrolled Ghana's premier and flagship academy, the University of Ghana, Legon, has been going on for quite a considerably while.

Any forward-looking adult-Ghanaian citizen earnest about the quality of the health of themselves and their family members, relatives, friends and neighbors would not attempt to gamble with the practically vacuous and bankrupt promises contained in the 2024 General Election Manifesto of the intellectually and the morally insulting key operatives of the Cash-and-Carry institutional establishment of the country's main opposition party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC). All that the health-conscious adult-Ghanaian citizen needs to do is simply examine the healthcare policy achievements of the latter self-styled Social-Democratic Party and come to the grim and the inescapable realization of the fact that but for the two consecutive electoral seasons that the Akufo-Addo-led government of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) seismically routed the State-Capturing Mahama Posse, that is, over the past 8 years, Ghana would have become a virtual mortuary and a graveyard even in the relatively settled and tranquil Post-COVID Era.

As the 2024 General Election draws fast and steadily close, in particular the 2024 Presidential Election, it appears as if the leaders of such statutorily mandated institutions as the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), among dozens of others, as well as the leaders of profit-making one-man/one-person churches, are finally beginning to regain their moral compass or authority and with the latter, the voices which they had deliberately and conveniently muted for most of

The recent sharp rises in the prices of various bags of cement brands – I hope “Lt-Col.” Johnson “The Bui Dam Woyome” Asiedu-Nketia is not smack in the details, as it were – is primarily due to what in High School Economics is called the Law of Supply and Demand, in American English, or Demand and Supply, in the erstwhile British colonized and still heavily dominated world, presently euphemistically designated as The Commonwealth of Nations or simply The Commonwealth or The Commonwealth Area of Politically Independent and Semi-Dependent Nations.

We have already discussed this matter umpteen times before, however, for the sake of the record books and posterity, we have decided to examine some strategically important aspects of the double-edged sword that is/was the selection of Dr. Matthew Yaw Opoku-Prempeh, a Manhyia Palace scion, as the 2024 Presidential-Election Running-Mate of Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia (See “
