Hallo,

I am anti - Anti Naana and I approve this message.

Barack Obama is a Professor in constitutional law and a Constitutional lawyer, but tsatsu?

A Criminal and Convicted element like Tsatsu Tsikata has no credibility in any court on the planet.

How can someone like tsatsu tsikata, who only has a bachelor`s degree in civil law be taken so serious to represent the p/NDC on constitutional law matters at the Supreme Court?

The p/NDC requires a better constitutional lawyer to advice them, and not that "people teacher" among civil law lecturers and a bachelor`s degree holder like tsatsu tsikata.

You people make heroes out of nothing.

Among the lecturers, tsatsu tsikata is just a mere "people teacher", if you don`t even know!

Do you know what a "people teacher" is?

A lawyer should be an all-rounded personality

Did Oxford Teach Tsatsu Tsikata to Steal?

On completion of his 5 year course at Mfantsipim School, tsatsu tsikata gained admission into the University of Ghana, Legon at the age of 16, where he obtained an LL.B First Class degree at the age of 18 years. Only one other 18 year old had completed a degree programme at that time. His lecturers included Professor Ofosu Amaah and Dr. Obed Asamoah, a former foreign minister and Attorney General of Ghana. He then won a scholarship from the University of Ghana to Oxford University where he again obtained first class honours in Bachelor of Civil Law .

On his return to Ghana in 1974, he was appointed a lecturer at the law faculty of the University of Ghana. Some of his students included Kwamena Ahwoi, Alban Bagbin, former majority leader in the Parliament of Ghana and Freddie Blay, former first deputy speaker in the Parliament of Ghana, a former first deputy speaker in parliament.

Tsikata has served as counsel to a number of notable personalities over the years. These include Captain Kojo Tsikata, his cousin and Kofi Awoonor. During the era of the National Redemption Council/Supreme Military Council military regimes of Acheampong, he defended Samuel Okudjeto and William Ofori Atta who stood trial for political reasons.

After the May 15 uprising in 1979, he was counsel for Jerry Rawlings during the treason trial that came to an abrupt end when the SMC military government led by Fred Akuffo was overthrown on 4 June 1979

tsatsu tsikata only have bachelor`s degree in civil law, if you don`t know!

Trial, jail , and pardon:

Tsikata was tried for causing financial loss of GH¢230,000 to the state after a trial through the Accra Fast Track Tribunal, one of many set up by the Kufuor government to try such cases. The trial lasted for six years. He was pronounced guilty on 18 June 2008 by Mrs. Justice Hernrietta Abban

The length of the trial is reputed to be the longest ever involving a former government official in the history of the country. Those loyal to President Kufuor's New Patriotic Party government hailed this as a triumph for the judicial system while tsikata's sympathisers and National Democratic Congress supporters saw the trial as politically motivated.

This led to the formation of the 'Free Tsatsu Movement'. He was granted an unconditional pardon by the then President John Kufuor on his last day of office after his party, the New Patriotic Party lost the Ghanaian presidential election, 2008. At the time, he was on admission at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital under prison guard following a severe bout of asthma. Tsatsu Tsikata rejected the presidential pardon and announced at a forum later that he felt the pardon was not in good faith and that he would fight through the court system to clear his name.

Has tsatsu tsikata since then been able to fight and cleared his name, after he had recklessly caused such a great loss to the state?

Like Okudzeto Ablakwa and Wayome atta mills and jphn dramani mahama, all the p/NDC criminals and "Thieves" are the same.

§ 6 Abs.11

The Deputy Minister’s Missing ¢250 Million Booty

There are many Ghanaians out there who would want to forget about the Christmas festivities in a hurry. There were many homes throughout the country, where the heads of households could not afford chicken for the family’s Christmas celebration.

With the miserable Christmas and New Year holidays over, many heads of households are now scratching their heads over the ability to raise money to pay the children’s school fees. In spite of the roof-top advertisement of building a ‘Better Ghana,’ the large mass of the people are unable to eke out any meaningful living.

To compound the situation, prices of goods and services are going through the roof. Life in Ghana is threatening to b e brutish and short. Unfortunately, there appears to be no solution in sight with President John Dramani Mahama promising more of the failed policies of the National Democratic Congress.

The so-called Better Ghana agenda was dead at birth. With a number of young men and women thrown on the scrap heap of unemployment, life promises to be more difficult for the mass of under-privileged Ghanaians.

For the attention of the President-elect, life in Ghana is getting harder and harder. The roof-top advertisement of building a ‘Better Ghana’ would no more wash against the naked rape of the economy by those who have perfected the art of shouting slogans in place of the implementation of well-thought out policies.

At a time most Ghanaians could not afford basics needs at the Yuletide, it is depressing to note that a deputy minister in this moribund administration, has had GH¢25,000 stolen from his car.

The circumstances under which this huge money, translating into ¢250 million of the old currency got missing, should inform this administration that a lot is basically wrong.

We are told that the loss was discovered only when the car, belonging to the Deputy Minister of Information, Mr. Samuel Okudzeto-Ablakwa was sent to the washing bay at Nima, a suburb of Accra, to be cleaned.

The Chronicle would like to know from the Deputy Minister whether or not the taxman was aware of the huge money in his car? In societies built on equity and concern for the state, the equivalent of $13,000 getting lost from the car of a political appointee, would be of much interest to the taxman.

Did Oxford Teach Tsatsu Tsikata to Steal?

The practice of law involves a great deal of responsibility. Individuals planning careers in law should like to work with people and be able to win the respect and confidence of their clients, associates, and the public.

Perseverance, creativity, and reasoning ability also are essential to lawyers, who often analyze complex cases and handle new and unique legal problems.

tsatsu tsikata is not just inferior in the law field, but also a "Convicted Criminal" and does not have the public trust to even hold any public office, or represent any client in any country, except atta mills and the p/NDC Ghana where criminals have legal rights to be in public office..

In civilized countries , convicted criminals don`t even have the right to be "licensed" or qualified to have a License and practise law.

To practice law in the courts of any country or other jurisdiction, a person must be licensed, or admitted to its bar, under rules established by the jurisdiction's highest court.

All nations require that applicants for admission to the bar pass a written bar examination; most countries also require applicants to pass a separate written ethics examination.

In most cases, however, lawyers must pass the bar examination in each country in which they plan to practice. Courts and agencies set their own qualifications for those practicing before or in them.

Formal requirements to become a lawyer usually include a 4-year college degree, 3 years of law school, and passing a written bar examination; however, some requirements may vary countries. Competition for admission to most law schools is intense. Courts and agencies set their own qualifications for those practicing before or in them.

Education and training. Becoming a lawyer usually takes 7 years of full-time study after high school-4 years of undergraduate study, followed by 3 years of law school and receipt of a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree.

Law school applicants must have a bachelor's degree to qualify for admission. To meet the needs of students who can attend only part time, a number of law schools have night or part-time divisions.

Although there is no recommended "prelaw" undergraduate major, prospective lawyers should develop proficiency in writing and speaking, reading, researching, analyzing, and thinking logically-skills needed to succeed both in law school and in the law.

Regardless of major, a multidisciplinary background is recommended. Courses in English, foreign languages, public speaking, government, philosophy, history, economics, mathematics, and computer science, among others, are useful.

Students interested in a particular aspect of law may find related courses helpful. For example, prospective patent lawyers need a strong background in engineering or science, and future tax lawyers must have extensive knowledge of accounting.

Acceptance by most law schools depends on the applicant's ability to demonstrate an aptitude for the study of law, usually through undergraduate grades, the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), the quality of the applicant's undergraduate school, any prior work experience, and sometimes, a personal interview. However, law schools vary in the weight they place on each of these and other factors.

During the first year or year and a half of law school, students usually study core courses, such as constitutional law, contracts, property law, torts, civil procedure, and legal writing. In the remaining time, they may choose specialized courses in fields such as tax, labor, or corporate law. Law students often gain practical experience by participating in school-sponsored legal clinics; in the school's moot court competitions, in which students conduct appellate arguments; in practice trials under the supervision of experienced lawyers and judges; and through research and writing on legal issues for the school's law journals.

A number of law schools have clinical programs in which students gain legal experience through practice trials and projects under the supervision of lawyers and law school faculty.

Law school clinical programs might include work in legal aid offices, for example, or on legislative committees. Law firms, government agencies, and corporate legal departments also provide valuable experience. Such training can lead directly to a job after graduation and can help students decide what kind of practice best suits them. Law school graduates receive the degree of Juris Doctor (J.D.).

Advanced law degrees may be desirable for those planning to specialize, research, or teach. Some law students pursue joint degree programs, which usually require an additional semester or year of study. Joint degree programs are offered in a number of areas, including business administration or public administration.

After graduation, lawyers must keep informed about legal and nonlegal developments that affect their practices.

To qualify for the bar examination in most countries, an applicant must earn a college degree and graduate from a law school accredited by the Bar Association or the proper authorities. The accreditation signifies that the law school, particularly its library and faculty, meets certain standards. With certain exceptions, graduates of schools not approved by the Bar Association are restricted to taking the bar examination and practicing in the country or other jurisdiction in which the school is located.

Many countries also require International Performance Testing to test the practical skills of beginning lawyers. Requirements vary by Nations, although the test usually is taken at the same time as the bar exam and is a one-time requirement.

Law school graduates are required to pass the Professional Responsibility Examination (PRE), which tests their knowledge of the Bar Association codes on professional responsibility and judicial conduct.

In some countries, the PRE may be taken during law school, usually after completing a course on legal ethics.

Other qualifications. The practice of law involves a great deal of responsibility. Individuals planning careers in law should like to work with people and be able to win the respect and confidence of their clients, associates, and the public.

Advancement:

Most beginning lawyers start in salaried positions. Newly hired attorneys usually start as associates and work with more experienced lawyers or judges. After several years, some lawyers are admitted to partnership in their firm, which means they are partial owners of the firm, or go into practice for themselves.

Some experienced lawyers are nominated or elected to judgeships.

Others become full-time law school faculty or administrators; a growing number of these lawyers have advanced degrees in other fields as well.

Did Oxford Teach Tsatsu Tsikata to Steal?

I don't know that the circumstances under which Nana Akufo-Addo left Oxford University has any more relevance to the well-meaning Ghanaian voter than the fact that Mr. Alfred Agbesi Woyome continues to illegally keep the GH? 52 million taken from the Ghanaian taxpayer under false pretences, with the complicity of highly placed cabinet members of the Mahama government. Or the still unrevealed circumstances under which the University of London-educated President John Evans Atta-Mills perished at the Osu castle on July 24, 2012 (See “Akufo-Addo Left Oxford Under Strange Circumstances – Tsatsu Tsikata” Ghanaweb.com 11/22/12).

Rather, what the NDC pressure group, the so-called Research and Advocacy Platform (RAP) ought to be doing is to be informing Ghanaian voters about the great damage that Mr. Tsatsu Tsikata has done to our beloved country's economy with his much-vaunted Oxford University graduate education, besides stealing huge sums of taxpayer money while he “served” as Managing-Director of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), under the stewardship of President Jeremiah John Rawlings, the self-righteous apostle of “probity, accountability and justice.”

I mean, it is really only in Ghana that a convicted criminal like Mr. Tsikata can presume to impugn the credibility and integrity of his moral superiors and be granted an on-air prime-time audience. What is rather amusing here, though, is the fact that the RAP operative who has been relentlessly leading this charge against the New Patriotic Party presidential candidate is a hustler who has been effectively disowned and ostracized by his church-owning and running family, and has even been summarily prohibited from using his own family's name. Instead, you guessed right, the damn urchin has flagrantly chosen to impersonate my tragically immortalized granduncle, Barima Ohemeng – aka Nana Akyea-Mensah – of Akyem-Apedwa, brother of Nana Yaa Amponsaa, the eponymous inspiration of modern Ghanaian highlife music. Are we still talking about “credibility” and “integrity,” folks?!

Anyway, the question of whether Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo was expelled from Oxford University or not is clearly beside the point. What is significantly worth knowing about the man is the fact that as a trial lawyer, Nana Akufo-Addo has distinguished himself far more and better than the criminally convicted Mr. Tsikata, whose record as a law lecturer at the University of Ghana has been known to clearly lack the path-breaking leverage and imprimatur of Nana Akufo-Addo's, on both the national and international scene.

Needless to say, if, indeed, Mr. Tsikata – who also once claimed that Dr. J. B. Danquah owed his fame to his imprisonment and assassination by President Kwame Nkrumah – has any forensic evidence incriminating or grievously blighting the integrity and reputation of Ghana's former Attorney-General and Justice Minister, while Nana Akufo-Addo was a student at Oxford University, let him boldly and forthwith reveal the same and stop his vacuous bluster.

At any rate, what is doubtlessly clear is that absolutely nobody is claiming that Nana Akufo-Addo wasted any Government or public funds by being academically disengaged from the University of Oxford, assuming that, in fact, he was. And so what is the palaver here, if I may so cast the same, other than sheer and raw envy on the part of his inveterate political opponents and ideological detractors?

It also goes without saying that the profile of voters in staunch support of the presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party is hugely different from that of the supporters of the judicial assassins of the Mahama-led so called National Democratic Congress. In brief, if I were Mr. Tsikata (Twereduampong-Totrobonsu forbid!) and his fellow criminal convicts of the NDC, I would be more worried about “Scandal Woyome” and the morally tainted and emotionally troubled Mr. John Dramani Mahama, the largely absentee former Vice-President who, according to Attorney-General Martin Amidu, was being financially investigated by the mysteriously demised President Mills for grand larceny, involving the purchasing of some five, or so, military aircraft, at the time of my dear Uncle Tarkwa-Atta's death.

Needless to say, if, indeed, it turns out that he had suspected that staying at Oxford for as long as Mr. Tsikata did could turn him into a thief and a criminal convict like the latter, then, of course, Nana Akufo-Addo was the wiser for leaving!

"Tsikata should be honoured, not imprisoned"

~ - Prof. Atta Mills

Professor John Evans Atta Mills, Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has expressed misgivings about the imprisonment of Mr. Tsatsu Tsikata, the former Chief Executive of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) for causing financial loss to the state.

Prof. Atta Mills said Mr Tsikata and his colleagues at the GNPC sacrificed so much to lay the foundation for the country's oil and gas exploration and he should have been honoured for his services to the country.

He said many people are been presented with national awards for contributing nothing towards the country's development but Mr Tsikata, who deserved an award has been imprisoned.

Prof. Atta Mills said an NDC government under his leadership would put funds accruing from the country's oil and gas industry to good use instead of using it to enrich relations and members of government.

Prof. Atta Mills said the country has not fittingly honoured its first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah despite the sacrifices he made to gain independence for the country.

Rejoinder: Is Nana Akufo-Addo Fit To Be President?

I have read with surprise and sadness a feature that appeared on the ever popular Ghanaweb on the 31st March 2009 under the caption "Is Akufo-Addo fit to be President"? It is my style not to respond to features on Ghanaweb since many people have their reservations to some features I also write to the same site, but the many allegations and fallacies concocted by S. L. Oklu should not pass without any reaction especially since they were targeted at no mean a person than Nana Akufo-Addo. The invectives and innuendos of Oklu hurled at Nana Akufo-Addo in a reckless abandon, without decorum and deference to the 2008 flag bearer of a great party like NPP demands a reaction.

Oklu said in paragraph two; "Now, to my question: Is Nana Akufo Addo Fit to be President? In my opinion he is not qualified to assume the highest office of the land. The reason being that he lacks the qualities of a good leader". What is Oklu talking about? Does he know what constitute leadership?

Leadership is about people- how to lead people to achieve desired outcomes. It is about carrying people along; it is about vision; a leader organises, motivates and leads people to achieve beneficial results. A leader must have charisma-essential to motivate and inspire people to support his course. Which of these does Nana Akufo-Addo lack?

He was born a leader and this is manifested in his many leadership roles even before becoming flag bearer of NPP. He is one of the few lawyers with economist brains and as such has a good appreciation of the needs of our dear Nation. Whether Oklu like it yes or not, Nana Akufo-Addo has a Presidential mien and solid track record of credentials and achievements that can be equalled if not surpassing all the leadership of his party including the President John Evans Atta Mills.

Oklu do not want to know the performance of then Vice-President Atta Mills as Chairman of the Economic Management Team of the first NDC government between 1997 to 2007. Even now how good is President Atta Mills performing ever since Ghanaians mistakenly gave him their mandate to steer the affairs of this country.

I would for now not bother myself with all facts I have on the performance of this government but will do so at a later time.

I also find it difficult to understand the basis of Oklu's assertion that "Nana Akuffo Addo was one individual among the lot that was given the best opportunity to prove, assert and to distinguish himself but failed woefully. First, he was appointed the Attorney General and Minister for Justice. What happened? With arrogance and nasty pride, he was just in a rush to jail Tsatsu Tsikata but only to realize he was dealing with the wrong man". What an ignoramus?

I know many people have passed similar comments in the past, but I believe it was out of ignorance or sheer mischief. How can this little mishap over the Tsatsu Tsikata case when Nana Akufo-Addo was the Minister of Justice and Attorney General is a yardstick to judge his performance. It is true a straight comparison between Ministers and Ministries was used by my own party members who were interested in becoming Presidential Candidate to make their case. In fact some easily pin-pointed tangible developmental projects from their ministries to buttress their achievements. That was unfair because some ministries deal more with co-ordination issues rather than landmarks of achievements.

What about the Repeal of the Criminal Libel Law and the setting up of the National Reconciliation Commission. The Reforms of the Legal System at the Ministry of Justice, prominent amongst them being the establishment of the New Commercial Court and the Business Law Division of the Justice Ministry.

Oklu wrote "Nana Akufo-Addo was removed from the Ministry of Justice to the Ministry of foreign Affairs. At the Foreign Affairs, what can he be remembered for? The only thing that comes to mind is the withdrawal of courtesies due ex-President Rawlings for the mere reason that he (Rawlings) was criticizing the then government".

This is an unfortunate statement. Anyway I will not begrudge him for talking about courtesies to former President Rawlings because that issue is inconsequential to me. However I think Oklu should be educated on what Nana Akufo-Addo can be remembered for at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

During his tenure as Foreign Affairs Minister, Ghana became a Member of the UN Security Council through his instrumentality. Oklu must be told Kufour became ECOWAS and then AU Chairman under Akufo-Addo.

May be Oklu is also unaware that Nana Akufo-Addo worked so hard to strengthen the economic Relations between Ghana and the rest of the World. He won new friends for Ghana resulting in the country gaining access to financial facilities such as Debt Relief and Increase in Aid.

The projection and enhancement of the image of Ghana as stable functioning democracy governed by the rule of law and as an attraction investment destination with a market driven economy of sound fundamentals and a firm determination to achieve a middle income status, a situation the NDC government is benefiting from now would be attributed to the good works of Nana Akufo-Addo.

Oklu naively went on, "It is about time we told those who want rule us that arrogance and pettiness cannot be tolerated. In other words, characters and traits that are inimical to democracy will not be allowed".

Is this a fairer assessment of a man who was given this arrogance tag by Oklu's party, the NDC? If Oklu had the chance of meeting Nana Addo one- on- one, he would revise his notes on this arrogance perception'. In fact Nana Addo is one of the simplest contemporary politicians one could come across despite his privileged upbringing.

Even Kofi Coomson who once said he would not be able to sleep if Nana Addo becomes President rejected the 'arrogance tag' on him during the interview he passed that unfortunate comment. It is my considered opinion that many people substitute "self confidence" for "arrogance". Nana Akufo-Addo is able to mix maximally with different kinds of people-youth, women, the old, privileged and under-privileged.

In fact my first direct contact with Nana Akufo-Addo was at the Sunyani Congress of NPP in 1998 when as a very young politician, was one of those who strongly supported him to become the party's flag bearer. At a meeting with delegates he clearly outlined his vision and also interacted with all those at meeting without an iota of arrogance. Ever since I have always kicked against this unfounded perception.

I was a member of his Communication Committee for the 2007 Presidential Primaries from March 2007 to July 2007 and used to admire the way he conducted himself at our meetings. He allowed each and every one of us to make our points without imposing his ideas on us. He is a good listener and would never reject the contribution of any of us but will always say 'let’s modify your point to such and such way'.

Oklu was at his hypocritical best when he said, "Those who are of the view that ex-President Kufour did not offer much help to Nana Akufo-Addo to win the Presidential seat have got it all wrong. I do not know if they expected the ex-President to hold his hand and put him on the seat". What a childish statement?

No one expected Kufour to hold Akufo-Addo's hands like a baby and put him on the seat. In any case I wonder why an NDC man should meddle in the affairs of NPP by playing one leader against the other forgetting that the leaders of his party NDC are at the moment clutching at each other’s throats to show who is who in their government. Oklu should address the tantrums of NDC's "Co-President Jerry John Rawlings". Those who want to remove the mots in the eyes of others must first remove the logs in their own eyes.

I should have ignored Oklu on this issue but since he once again exhibited crass ignorance on why some NPP members are genuinely peeved with Kufour over our defeat, I am tempted to tell him this;

At a time Kufour was needed by the party to campaign from Region to Region, Constituency to Constituency and hamlet to hamlet, he chose to gambol round the world receiving accolades and awards including one at Liberia. He also failed to either campaign with the flag bearer or alone but went round commissioning 'Old Projects'.

The Senegalese President, Macky Sall, for example, was visibly distraught after descending the dais to congratulate President Mahama and Vice President Amissah-Arthur.

What was intended to be a swearing in ceremony, according to them, turned out to be forceful acknowledgement of the Mahama presidency, which organizers intended as a ruse to ‘legitimize’ the presidency of John Mahama.

“All the presidents who attended this ceremony know the election results are being disputed. They know President Mahama has been dragged to court to answer charges of fraud and irregularities that characterized his being declared president,” a commentator told the New Statesman.

Total nonsense. If you did not believe in his presidency, you would not have been there in the first place. Those who did not want to come did not come.

It is absolutely incredible to imagine what matter the brain cells of people bred in the Ashanti region are made of. The man Kuffuor sounds far more ignorant than Nkomea and the rest of the NPP idiots. How on earth can you determine with such bold assertion that the EC under Dr Afari Djan, actually rigged the elections in favor of John Mahama. Indeed the characteristics of a typical human being can be deceptive. These people do not understand simple logic, that you cannot win an election in a 10 region country, where most things are cut straight down ethnic lines. Secondly even in the NPP stronghold of the Ashanti Region, the non-Ashantis could very well out-number the actual indigenes, who without a shadow of doubt vote massively along tribal lines, the same tendency exists in the Northern and Volta Regions. Third but not least is that the other Akan groups of the various regions are not in full alliance with the Ashanti/Akyem Akan group. They should live and die smart about the true composition of Ghana!

If in your view statesman is a shamed newspaper how do you describe the LENS, Al Hajj and Stations like Radio Gold. You see, you people are intolerant to other people's views. Have you been reading some of the rubbish published by the so - called Alhaji Bature's newspaper "al hajj"?

Don't you see that Mahama is shaking and the least chance he gets he tries to create the impression that his Presidency is legitimate? Well, NPP as true democrats have gone to court. I am happy they did so instead of resorting to other illegal means. I think the NPP should be commended for the action taken other than you and I will not even have the peace to comment of this site. It is unfortunate my party CPP could not go to court though we have evidence of rigging because we dont have the resources NPP has. I am solidly behind the NPP in this court matter.

She continued, “Leading these ministers up those stairs to congratulate Mahama and give him a semblance of legitimacy is indeed laughable. The Supreme Court will decide who really emerged as winner of the 2012 presidential election and if Nana Akufo-Addo is said to have won, we all hope that President Mahama will gracefully bow down his head in shame.”

If they knew the election was being contested and they were in doubt; why did they accept the invitation to attend the event. Greeting is not the same as homage. In homage you present presents to signify your loyalty to the one you are paying homage to. Asking the Heads of State to take turns to congratulate the President is not paying homage. Did they have to bow? No they did not.

Why a departure from the normal protocol at this time. Some one must answer for that. What one may not also understand is that, there is no injunction on the declaration nor the swearing-in of Mahamah as the president, so that is a secondary matter for someone to make reference to. Moreover, the supremem court of Ghana, like any other one in any country, is not a trial court, but it deals with the interpretation of the constitution. This is a landmark case, and a great test for the court, so we cross our hands to see the outcome. I don't see a possible reversal and therefore the stepping down of the incumbent in the very near future. If it happens, then perhaps, our constitution might be amended to take care of where there is a dispute on the results, and pending at court, andl what must be done in the meantime. Except that there may be an error, the INEC,has a commissioner, deputies, regional directors, district directors, and these several returning officers, and has the constitutional duty to announce a winner in a time frame, and he did his job according to the figures that he had at that time.

These Akyems wouln't let Kwame Nkrumah Ghana have a bit of rest; they show themselves up in shapes and forms

- firstly, Akyems of a very weak tribe of Akyem don't see themselves as Akyems at all; they see themselves as cloned or hybrid Asantes; thus, together with powerful Asantes, make up this fantasy "AKAN" tribe; there to slaughter any other wayward established tribes; particularly the Fantes, the Gas and Ewes should they misbehave themselves against "Akan" Akufo Ado; have a look at Ayem NPP idiot Akufo Ado's "all die be die" foolishness

- it was Akyem terrorist J B Danquah who terrorised Kwame Nkrumah until he killed him; to leave Ghana in a hole from where Ghana is still digging

- Akyems have their "Danquah Institute of Akyem buffoons who sell stupidities and claim self importance; they say they are a 'think tank' which is a laugh; they say there is such a thing as the "Big Six" which ofcouse they say was headed by their Akyem terrorist J B Danquah

- the Akyems say there is such a thing as "Danquah/Busia" tradition; what sort of tradition one may ask?

- the Akyems, at the moment have their nitwit and idiot NPP Akyem Akufo Ado, with a pipe dream that, he has drunken Supreme Court Judges who are going to tell him that the Declaration of the EC did not matter; but, the say so of NPP hooligans that matter; and for him to go to the Castle as President of Kwame Nkrumah Ghana

- this Akyem "New Statesman" is just a toilet roll which happens to be printed
