Why is the NPP crying more than the bereaved? Why are they being more Catholic than the pope? Is Get-rude Torkonoo the women's organizer of the NPP? Why can't they leave her to drink her own cup of tea?

A so-called FAIR, JUST & SINCERE Chief Justice some few months back could sit down unperturbed for FOUR (4) GOOD YEARS and look on as the people of Santrokofi, Akpafu, Likpe and Lolobi (SALL) to go about their daily lives without any elected Parliamentarian for them, and there was no act or comment signifying concern from this wicked woman - Gertrude Araba Torkonoo! But immediately an NPP Member of Parliament was declared a "persona-non-grata" in Parliament for her constituency, this HIGHLY CORRUPT, SHAMELESS, UNPRINCIPLED & DEVILISH Chief Justice - Gertrude Araba Torkonoo - sprang up like a wounded tiger to protest that the people of Cynthia Morrison's constituency *CANNOT* be denied their legal and constitutional representation. If that act she committed was not PLAIN WITCHCRAFT, then it must have been some SATANIC PLOT OF CRUEL INJUSTICE..!!!!! SO PLEASE, HURRY UP AND THROW THAT WOMAN DOWN THE VALLEY OF DISGRACE. That is where she belongs! Foolish woman like that..!!!!! When you NPP idiots were criminally twisting justice and dancing provocatively with Akuffo Addo, we kept crying quietly within ourselves, and all you filthy demons could do was to ask us "TO GO TO HELL...!!!!" Now, we have valiantly snatched the power from you, and you say we should spare you to continue with all your buffoonery..???? You must be suffering from Mad Cow Disease...!!!!!

In the UK, if a Political Party in POWER or GOVERNMENT loses an election, The Leadership RESIGN ENMASSE AND TAKE THE BLAME FOR THEIR PARTY LOSS, BUT NOT IN BUSH MAN GHANA OR AFRICA. ALL NPP EXECUTIVES INCLUDING BAWUMIA MUST RESIGN IMMEDIATELY.
NPP This your looting spree in 8 YEARS of the ASHANTIS voting for the Akyem Ungrateful people of the Eastern region of Ghana. TANI Akuffo Addo from Eastern Region WAS VOTED INTO POWER BY US ASHANTIS AND HE STOLE £900 million pounds sterling belonging to Ghana. TANI Akuffo Addo used the stolen MONEY TO BRIBE people to challenge as well as deselect the MPs he did not like or who spoke against him and thief Ken Ofori Atta his cousin. The Flagbearer of NPP should have been Alan Kyerematen. But TANI Akuffo Addo used the Ghana money he stole to put LIAR Bawumia there. What Owusu Bempah is SAYING IS THE TRUTH. THE TRUTH HURTS. NPP A WORD TO THE WISE IS ENOUGH. CHANGE BAWUMIA NOW BEFORE 2028.

TANI Akuffo Addo Stole Ghana's borrowed money= £900 million

Ken Ofori Atta stole £400 million

Gabby Otchere Dark Stole £200 million

Edward Akuffo Addio stole £350 million

NAPO Stole-Because his mother is from Akyem £150 million

Remove Akyem Abuakwa STOOGE Liar Bawumia, The Loser. There should NOT be another Northerner as President because President Mahama has taken that SLOT. We should NOT be afraid of the Northerners-CALL A SPADE A SPADE. The Northerners are OVER PAMPERED-NPP gets few votes from the North of Ghana and even Bawumia-who is a Northerner could NOT change it.
The LIES that brought the LOSER DRIVERS MATE-BAWUMIA TO THE NPP FLAGBEARERSHIP WAS THAT-BECAUSE HE IS A NORTHERNER-IF HE STANDS WITH PRESIDENT MAHAMA- THE NORTHERN REGIONS OF GHANA WOULD BE DIVIDED BETWEEN BAWUMIA AND PRESIDENT MAHAMA. BUT THE NORTHERN REGIONS OF GHANA VOTED OVERWHELMINGLY FOR PRESIDENT MAHAMA. SO THE DOCTRINE OF BREAKING THE 8 YEARS WAS AN AKYEM ABUAKWA LIES AND TRICKS-THE ILLITERATE CHAIRMAN WONTUMI DID NOT SEE. ASHANTI REGION SHOULD REPLACE BCHAIRMAN WONTUMI BECAUSE YHE IS NOT A STRATEGIC THINKER. ASHANTI REGION SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE KINGMAKER OF THE NPP LEADER BECAUSE OF THE VOLUME OR NUMBER OF VOTES NPP RECEIVES IN THE ASHANTI REGION. NO REGION IN GHANA, GIVE THE NPP THE SAME NUMBER OF VOTES AS THE ASHANTI REGION DOES. SO THERE SHOULD BE WEIGHTED AVERAGE OF VOTES FOR EACH REGION AS PER THE TOTAL NUMBER OF VOTES NPP RECEIVES NATIONALLY.
The reign of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo may have long been over since January 7, 2025, but the very people who helped him during his 8 years in office may not all been enjoying their ‘retirements’ so well, or so quietly.

And this is for reasons aligned to promises and what appears to be a robust aim by the John Dramani Mahama government, which took over from the past one, to prosecute any forms of corruption that arose during the former administration.

These formed part of campaign promises by John Mahama and his National Democratic Congress (NDC), coming into the 2024 Election, and so far, they have been determined on achieving that.

Caught up in that, have been a number of appointees of Akufo-Addo who have ended up several investigations, or, in simple terms, whose names have been linked to controversial wealth that people believe may be, somehow, corruption related.

In this GhanaWeb article, let us take a look at some of the appointees under Akufo-Addo whose wealth came into question, generating national conversations.

In each of these cases, something happened that brought their cases into the public light, prompting national discussions and great interest.

Eugene Arhin

Eugene Arhin was the Director of Communications at the Presidency under Nana Akufo-Addo for the 8 years he was in office.

In 2021, a divorce case with his wife made it into the public, where his wife was demanding for certain reliefs in the separation process.

As part of the things she listed, she made mention of some of the properties owned by Eugene Arhin and these revelations, in the eyes of the public, generated a lot of conversations.

For many, did the Director of Communications at the Presidency, Eugene Arhin, amass all that in a space of four years, or during his time in public office?

Gloria Assan Arhin, his wife at the time, prayed the Accra High Court to grant her divorce request and also give her a number of properties, including a five-bedroom residential property (which was intended to be the matrimonial home of the parties) situated on a two-plot of land lying at East Legon in Accra; a four-storey building comprising 16 separate flats/apartments situated on a parcel of land at Bubiashie in Accra which land was acquired from a family friend of the petitioner.

She also asked for a storey building being constructed which comprised of 16 separate flats/apartments situated at Tuba-Weija in Accra.

These were but just three of the over twenty properties she sought after as part of the divorce.

Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie (Sir John)

Sir John, a former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), became the Chief Executive Officer of the Forestry Commission of Ghana until his death.

After his death, his will became public, generating another widespread conversation among Ghanaians. It involved a tall list of 75 properties, including houses, parcels of land, bank accounts, investments, businesses, guns and clothes.

His will also raised public concerns following the discovery that he owned lands at the Achimota Forest. This was also because President Akufo-Addo had, at the time, signed an Executive Instrument that said part of the Achimota Forest was no longer a forest reserve.

Critics said the move was a ploy to get the land into the hands of the ruling elite, an accusation the government vehemently denied.

Sir John’s ownership of parcels of lands at the Achimota Forest appeared to have heightened the deep-seated mistrust of the government and its actions.

Below are the properties as listed in the will of the late Sir John:

House on plot number GA54480 located in Ogbojo, East Legon, and acquired on February 12, 2018

House on plot number GA 55329 located at Oyarifa No. 2, acquired on May 11, 2018

He and his wife, Angela Adjei-Boateng, were recently detained by the Attorney General’s office following his arrest at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA).

Following his detention, Attorney General Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine revealed at a press conference on Monday, March 24, 2025, a list of properties acquired by both suspects since 2018.

This, he said, was established through painstaking investigations by the EOCO and the AG’s office, indicating that the properties acquired were bought using embezzled state funds.

Below is a breakdown of the properties and their estimated values under the couple’s names below:

1. No. 2 stream part drive, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra which is estimated at $1,000,000 (valued at GH¢15,000,000)

2. No. 6 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra

3. No. 7 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra estimated at a value of $200,000

4. No. 8 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates LA, Accra estimated at a value of $97,815

5. No. 9 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates LA, Accra also valued at $270,000

6. No. 10 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates LA, Accra at $150,000, Additionally, another initial cash deposit of $500,000 was made to purchase 5 houses.

7. Vertex properties at Oyarifa Gated Estate Development. This consists of 27 houses each valued at an estimated cost of $295,000 (GH¢127,000,000).

8. Two properties in London

The AG further disclosed that an amount of up to GH¢39 million was allegedly diverted and embezzled by the suspects from the agency.

"GH¢39,462,480 went into Adu-Boahene and his wife's pockets from one transaction," the Attorney General said

If minority really wants these matters to be a-political, they should not be the ones making noise and fighting in court. What they are virtually telling Ghanaians is that the CJ is indeed an NPP sympathizer, no wonder the entire public feels so and support the removal. Please stop discussing these and pursue the ECG corruption and other looted and shared state property.

No evidence supports the removal of the suspended CJ stronger than the manner the minority is making her look like she is their key member. What is more partisan than this? Clearly, she will be working with the minority to frustrate the government just as she did in the past when the minority now was then the majority in government. Her removal is therefore an imperative.
