  Are you seeing what we are seeing?
  
  Bole Bamboi Nebukat and his QNET govt are destroying all state institutions.
  
  These politically motivated persecution by Gonja mafia John Mahama and his northern-volta hegemony are badges of honour which these heroes are wearing with pride.
  
  Hopefully, no Mahama is into mining.
  
  Also Bole Bamboi Nebukat Nezer and his bunch of tribal bigots have to know that any future npp govt will over turn such rulings and the injustices melted out against hard working individuals bearing wrong names.
  
  Are you seeing what we are seeing?
  
  Is Gonja mafia John Mahama implementing P/NDC philosophy as presented by Kofi Awonor? To destroy the business of people of certain groups?
  
  These atrocities will never be forgotten.

  BREAKING NEWS !!!!!!!!!!!!!
  THE YOUTH WITHOUT PARTY COLORS
  'Comparative Analysis of the NPP Governments under John Agyekum Kufuor and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo
  
  In recent years, politically unaffiliated youth in Ghana have increasingly sought to critically examine the contrasting leadership orientations of the two New Patriotic Party (NPP) governments — those led by President John Agyekum Kufuor (2001–2009) and President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo (2017–2024). Although both administrations emerge from the same political tradition, they exhibit distinct approaches to governance, cabinet composition, and policy implementation.
  
  President Kufuor’s administration is widely recognized for its reliance on technocratic expertise, intellectual competence, and experience. His cabinet included professionals from diverse fields such as economics, law, education, and international relations, reflecting his belief in meritocratic governance and evidence-based policy design (Boafo-Arthur, 2007). Kufuor’s leadership philosophy emphasized institutional capacity-building, macroeconomic stability, and good governance. Notably, his government pursued policies such as the Highly Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) initiative and the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), which contributed to fiscal consolidation and social welfare expansion (Aryeetey & Kanbur, 2008).
  
  In contrast, President Akufo-Addo’s government is often characterized by its emphasis on trust, loyalty, and personal relationships. Several of his appointees are long-time allies, relatives, or individuals with deep political loyalty to the President and the NPP. This approach, while fostering internal cohesion and political loyalty, has been criticized for limiting technocratic diversity and promoting perceptions of nepotism (Ayee, 2021). Nonetheless, Akufo-Addo’s administration has also demonstrated strong political will in implementing ambitious flagship initiatives such as the Free Senior High School (Free SHS) policy and the One District, One Factory (1D1F) industrialization programme (Obeng-Odoom, 2020).
  
  However, any fair comparison between the two administrations must acknowledge their distinct historical and global contexts. Kufuor’s presidency coincided with a period of relative international stability and robust global economic growth, while Akufo-Addo’s tenure has been marked by severe external shocks, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia–Ukraine conflict, both of which significantly disrupted global supply chains and domestic fiscal balance (World Bank, 2023). These external crises have compounded Ghana’s macroeconomic challenges, leading to inflationary pressures, currency depreciation, and a resurgence of debt distress.
  
  In conclusion, while both leaders share the ideological foundation of the NPP — emphasizing liberal economic policies, private sector development, and democratic consolidation — their administrations diverge in leadership orientation and governance philosophy. Kufuor’s government can be described as technocratically driven and institutionally oriented, whereas Akufo-Addo’s administration appears loyalty-driven and relationship-oriented. A comprehensive assessment of their performances must therefore consider not only leadership style but also the broader domestic and global contexts that shaped their respective tenures.

  I like former CJ Gertrude Asaaba Sackey Torkornoo considering optics. She has got the personality (physical and outward appearance) but some of us are stunned and shocked by her misbehaviour and inconsistencies relationship to how she pushed in/ along her husband and daughter to benefit from public funds when they were not qualified to be part of it. Then her appointment letter which was supposed to be signed by the president at the time rather being signed by her subordinate in the supreme courts.Yet this was not only a lawyer but the Chief Justice of the whole country ( Republic of Ghana).
  This time trying to evade justice and the law. However, forgetting that the law is the law in principle.
  Nobody is perfect but when it comes to law, the law is the is the law. Sorry my sister. Take it cool go on your knees and ask the Almighty Lord for forgiveness then MOVE ON. “Let he who has no sins first cast the first stone”. This is depicted in the episode with JESUS CHRIST AND THE SAMARITAN WOMAN at the well.
  Once you profess to be a Christian there is nothing wrong with going to JESUS CHRIST and tell HIM sincerely your problems. He will be faithful and justice to forgive you.
