  So which is which? The cirrent Managing Director of the Ghana Publishing Company, Nana Kwasi Boatey, recently disclosed that before the current administration took over, the company had a bank balance of only GH¢400,000 and had to rely on a bank overdraft to pay January 2025 salaries and that
  through operational reforms, the company's financial situation has improved significantly and making them have a fixed deposit of 18 million ghana cedis as of now. So who is telling the truth?

  The cash balance revealed by the new CEO could be correct. However, using the cash balance as the only benchmark for performance may be incorrect. Building good structures in operations is paramount to future success. If the current CEO is boasting of hefty cash balance during his tenure, he has every reason to apportion part of the credit to the previous CEO who built the structures for the current performance. We are too quick to blame others for failures; but very reluctant to give credit when it’s due

  YOU BORROWED AND STOLE IT ALL. YOU BORROWED OVER $50 BILLION US DOLLARAHAVE THE NPP FORGOTTEN THE ECONOMIC HARDSHIPS THE NPP VISITED ON GHANAIAN PEOPLE? STEALING OF THE PENSIONERS MONEY, BAWUMIA FAILED ECONOMIC MESSIAH, AKUFFO ADDO REFUSING TO REMOVE HIS COUSIN-KEN OFORI ATTA-DESPITE CAUSING FINANCIAL LOSS TO THE STATE. NPP ARE DREAMERS-GHANA VOTERS ARE NOT FOOLS. REMOVE ALL THE NPP FAILED AND CORRUPT EXECUTIVES WHO ALLOWED TANI AKUFFO ADDO AND HIS FAMILY TO STEAL AND STEAL
  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.
  
  Factors that contributed to NPP's election loss are:
  1. Bad, cruel and reckless policies
  2. The inability of the NPP leadership to restrain the ' ka a nka bi syndrome of Akuffo Addo
  3. Ken Ofori Atta's OVER SIZED FINANCE MINISTRY WITH OVER REACHING POWERS TO STOP ANY VALUE FOR MONEY PROJECT EXCEPT-CREATE AND LOOT policies-
  4. The unrepentant branding of disgruntled members as traitors like ALAN KYEREMATEN
  5. The creation and the continuous existence of the Akyem/Kyebi mafia
  5. NPP was a galamseyers party and government
  6. Reckless borrowing
  7. The implementation of the DDEP-STEALING OF POOR GHANA PENSIONERS SAVINGS-VERY DISTATEFUL
  8. Divide and rule tactics by Akuffo Addo
  9. Christians ganged against a Muslim candidate
  10. NNP's betrayal of its grassroots people
  11. The " mass stealing syndrome" of the selected and protected elites
  12. The neglect of the Ashanti region for the Eastern region-NO PROJECT WAS COMPLETED BY TANI AKUFFO ADDO IN THE ASHANTI REGION-WHO VOTED SKIRT AND BLOUSE TO MAKE HIM PRESIDENT.
  13. The pomposity of Akuffo Addo RIDING IN EXPENSIVE PRIVATE JETS and his chosen and protected elites GOING TO EUROPE FOR SHOPPING IN THE PRESIDENTIAL JET
  14. Unassertive, weak and chop chop NPP leadership-THE STEALING BRIDGADE
  15. The Wontumi factor-ILLITERATE WONTUMI-HE IS NOT A STRATEGIC THINKER-like displaying GOLD BARS ON TV-Womtumi is an IDIOT-Ashantis REMOVE HIM.
  16. The imposition and protection of non performing MPs by Akuffo Addo and the elites of the party
  17. The " mentumi ne oyi ny3 adwuma mentality of Akuffo Addo
  18. The non existence of a fair internal grievance procedure or the hijacking of this machinery by Akuffo Addo
  19. The hijacking and the infiltration of non entities and square pegs in round holes in the economic management team of Akuffo Addo and his Akyem mafia
  20. The " merengue obiara na merete me ka" posture of Akufo Addo
  21. The money na talk syndrome of the party ( moneycracy)
  22. ÑPP use communicators who had fallen in favor with its grassroots
  23. Communicators could not defend the badly crafted and wickedly intended policies like the DDEP, E-Levy, Agyapa, etc
  24. The attempt to use of Covid and Russian- Ukraine war as a cover up for bad and wicked policies- KEN OFORI ATTA BUDGETS-DID NOT HAVE ANY CONTINGENCY MONEY, NO RISK ASSESSMENT WAS CARRIED OUT.
  25. Mass fraud and corruption by government people- e.g. EUGENE ARHIN, SIR JOHN, KWABENA ADU BOAHENE
  26.Dupping, fraudulent and stealing from proposed but non existed development projects
  27. Non performing oversized government, creating job for the boys.
  28. No value for money mentality
  29. The dollar which was allowed to break the bank. The Ghana cedi lost its value in 2022 under Ken Ofori Atta and the President refused to remove him despite 98 NPP MPs went to see him and he refused to meet them-DICTATORSHIP.
  30. Stagflation- high inflation matching stagnant economic growth and unemployment
  31. Breakdown of respect for traditional authorities and their people where TANI Akuffo Addo ordered Chiefs to stand when greeting him. What on earth is this liliput, short and ugly Akyem Abuakwa TANI come from?
  32. Loose talk by Akuffo Addo- eg, I will not develop the Kwabre community and that no one has lost his thumb and should vote against the party if he or she is dissatisfied. It is only a drug addict who will talk like this and expect his party to win election. He was let loose to speak irresponsibly by the party hierarchy
  26. Etc,etc, etc and ect
  
  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

  The last person in this list of Akufo-Addo appointees whose wealth have courted public conversations is the former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau, Kwabena Adu-Boahene.
  
  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:

  Former NAFCO CEO, Abdul-Wahab Hanan is at the centre of fresh corruption related matters
  The Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, has disclosed that the former Chief Executive Officer of the National Food and Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO), Abdul-Wahab Hanan, is at the centre of a major corruption investigation involving the alleged acquisition of high-value assets with state funds.
  
  LIVESTREAMED: Attorney General provides new updates on ORAL cases
  
  Speaking at the Government Accountability Series in Accra on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, Dr Ayine said investigators from the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) have traced several luxury properties and suspicious bank transactions linked to Abdul-Wahab, believed to have been financed with proceeds of crime.
  
  “Investigators from the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) have traced several properties and bank transactions linked to Abdul-Wahab, which they believe were funded through illicit means,” he said.
  
  The former NAFCO boss was arrested with his wife on June 25, 2025, and detained by EOCO for two weeks before being granted bail in the sum of GH¢60 million with two sureties.
  
  His wife was released earlier on a GH¢30 million bail.
  
  While the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has criticised the bail conditions as excessively harsh and politically motivated, Dr Ayine maintained that the government remains committed to enforcing accountability and the rule of law.
  
  He disclosed that assets allegedly acquired with misappropriated funds include a five-bedroom house at Chain Homes, valued at $1.625 million; a three-bedroom residence at Cantonments purchased for $600,000; plots of land at Airport Development Area worth $750,000; a 17-bedroom boutique hotel in Gumani, Tamale valued at $250,000; a four-bedroom bungalow at Dzorwulu valued at GH¢4.14 million; and a 0.32-acre parcel of government land purchased for GH¢307,200.
  
  Dr Ayine assured that all assets proven to have been purchased with stolen funds will be confiscated in line with the law.

  1. Bad, cruel and reckless policies
  2. The inability of the NPP leadership to restrain the ' ka a nka bi syndrome of Akuffo Addo
  3. Ken Ofori Atta's OVER SIZED FINANCE MINISTRY WITH OVER REACHING POWERS TO STOP ANY VALUE FOR MONEY PROJECT EXCEPT-CREATE AND LOOT policies-
  4. The unrepentant branding of disgruntled members as traitors like ALAN KYEREMATEN
  5. The creation and the continuous existence of the Akyem/Kyebi mafia
  5. NPP was a galamseyers party and government
  6. Reckless borrowing
  7. The implementation of the DDEP-STEALING OF POOR GHANA PENSIONERS SAVINGS-VERY DISTATEFUL
  8. Divide and rule tactics by Akuffo Addo
  9. Christians ganged against a Muslim candidate
  10. NNP's betrayal of its grassroots people
  11. The " mass stealing syndrome" of the selected and protected elites
  12. The neglect of the Ashanti region for the Eastern region-NO PROJECT WAS COMPLETED BY TANI AKUFFO ADDO IN THE ASHANTI REGION-WHO VOTED SKIRT AND BLOUSE TO MAKE HIM PRESIDENT.
  13. The pomposity of Akuffo Addo RIDING IN EXPENSIVE PRIVATE JETS and his chosen and protected elites GOING TO EUROPE FOR SHOPPING IN THE PRESIDENTIAL JET
  14. Unassertive, weak and chop chop NPP leadership-THE STEALING BRIDGADE
  15. The Wontumi factor-ILLITERATE WONTUMI-HE IS NOT A STRATEGIC THINKER-like displaying GOLD BARS ON TV-Womtumi is an IDIOT-Ashantis REMOVE HIM.
  16. The imposition and protection of non performing MPs by Akuffo Addo and the elites of the party
  17. The " mentumi ne oyi ny3 adwuma mentality of Akuffo Addo
  18. The non existence of a fair internal grievance procedure or the hijacking of this machinery by Akuffo Addo
  19. The hijacking and the infiltration of non entities and square pegs in round holes in the economic management team of Akuffo Addo and his Akyem mafia
  20. The " merengue obiara na merete me ka" posture of Akufo Addo
  21. The money na talk syndrome of the party ( moneycracy)
  22. ÑPP use communicators who had fallen in favor with its grassroots
  23. Communicators could not defend the badly crafted and wickedly intended policies like the DDEP, E-Levy, Agyapa, etc
  24. The attempt to use of Covid and Russian- Ukraine war as a cover up for bad and wicked policies- KEN OFORI ATTA BUDGETS-DID NOT HAVE ANY CONTINGENCY MONEY, NO RISK ASSESSMENT WAS CARRIED OUT.
  25. Mass fraud and corruption by government people- e.g. EUGENE ARHIN, SIR JOHN, KWABENA ADU BOAHENE
  26.Dupping, fraudulent and stealing from proposed but non existed development projects
  27. Non performing oversized government, creating job for the boys.
  28. No value for money mentality
  29. The dollar which was allowed to break the bank. The Ghana cedi lost its value in 2022 under Ken Ofori Atta and the President refused to remove him despite 98 NPP MPs went to see him and he refused to meet them-DICTATORSHIP.
  30. Stagflation- high inflation matching stagnant economic growth and unemployment
  31. Breakdown of respect for traditional authorities and their people where TANI Akuffo Addo ordered Chiefs to stand when greeting him. What on earth is this liliput, short and ugly Akyem Abuakwa TANI come from?
  32. Loose talk by Akuffo Addo- eg, I will not develop the Kwabre community and that no one has lost his thumb and should vote against the party if he or she is dissatisfied. It is only a drug addict who will talk like this and expect his party to win election. He was let loose to speak irresponsibly by the party hierarchy
  26. Etc,etc, etc and ect
  
  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

  Former NAFCO CEO, Abdul-Wahab Hanan is at the centre of fresh corruption related matters
  The Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, has disclosed that the former Chief Executive Officer of the National Food and Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO), Abdul-Wahab Hanan, is at the centre of a major corruption investigation involving the alleged acquisition of high-value assets with state funds.
  
  LIVESTREAMED: Attorney General provides new updates on ORAL cases
  
  Speaking at the Government Accountability Series in Accra on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, Dr Ayine said investigators from the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) have traced several luxury properties and suspicious bank transactions linked to Abdul-Wahab, believed to have been financed with proceeds of crime.
  
  “Investigators from the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) have traced several properties and bank transactions linked to Abdul-Wahab, which they believe were funded through illicit means,” he said.
  
  The former NAFCO boss was arrested with his wife on June 25, 2025, and detained by EOCO for two weeks before being granted bail in the sum of GH¢60 million with two sureties.
  
  His wife was released earlier on a GH¢30 million bail.
  
  While the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has criticised the bail conditions as excessively harsh and politically motivated, Dr Ayine maintained that the government remains committed to enforcing accountability and the rule of law.
  
  He disclosed that assets allegedly acquired with misappropriated funds include a five-bedroom house at Chain Homes, valued at $1.625 million; a three-bedroom residence at Cantonments purchased for $600,000; plots of land at Airport Development Area worth $750,000; a 17-bedroom boutique hotel in Gumani, Tamale valued at $250,000; a four-bedroom bungalow at Dzorwulu valued at GH¢4.14 million; and a 0.32-acre parcel of government land purchased for GH¢307,200.
  
  Dr Ayine assured that all assets proven to have been purchased with stolen funds will be confiscated in line with the law.

  Very surprised Franklin Cudjoe is now echoing what he read on social media of the gallant display of an precedence turn around of this previously moribund State Enterprise. If you you went there before his tenure , the place was so wretched filled with analogue and absolute conditions written off. He needs an award. The best award is to see it move to the next level. If he had not come to blow his own horn his effort was going to be trodden down just like that. The other officer is Hon Akomea. He descended from a Minister of Communications to take up the job as MD of STC and succeeded in turning the state transport long distance travel company around. Kudos. You slugged it out with private operators who had dominated the Circle terminal for years and you stood your grounds. STC now enjoys a portion of the lucrative operations at the circle terminal. MD's, CEO's should strive to do same. Ghana is grateful to all staff members in the two institutions who contributed to your successes.

  My friend, have you ever seen a cobra lay a chicken egg before? For once, Franklin, I will not buy this. Akufo-addo is a high caliber cobra. Who wisens, schemes, steals and stings as a poisonous snake. Period!
