Thank God he was never given that position,he would've failed woefully.Kwabena is not good leader look at his TV programme,anytime he not around.Eloeny Amande can easily groom someone to replace him when he's not around.

And you are sitting here boasting about it. I am sick of people like you.

Why don't you take a long walk on a short pier. Boast, boast, boast.

I've never met the guy but from what I've heard, listened to on his comments. I conclude that he is an idiot. What were kuffour and mills thinking asking him to be deputy sports minister? Just becos u are in media or speak on an issue. don't mean u have the brians to manage anything. He never criticizes persons he "likes". They could be sending us all to the bottomless pit and he will still cowher like a bitch and say good things. AA was a terrible tactical.coach and never did Yeboah evaluate and critical his flaws. Idiot. Hami Noko!

Opportunities come, but once and Yeboah had too many. Now he realizes, his numbers are down and wanting to create attention for himself.

If He cannot accept two Presidents offer to contribute to natinal development , then what is the use of all the experience gained throught out these years as an elderly experienced sports commentator and writer - Cowards die before their death. Shame Kwabena Yeboah.You are happy telling the world about these cowardice and hypocratic behaviour . You are not fit to even contribute to anymore sports .

Thats how some Ghanaians are ( Konongo kaya), we are the expertise but then we wil not help but rather sit to criticise.I know kwabena very well and think his presence as a Dep minister could have made an impact in the ministry , so what are we talking about ?? For Two consecutive President to call or invite him to serve was an honor for him to serve his nation Ghana. What is more beautiful than this ?

I do agree with you but then,one man´s meat is another one´s poison and some freelance profis prefer the private sector to government appointments b´cos they don´t want any partisan tag, not good for business.

I think Kwabena used his head. You may think that is shameful, but considering that in Ghana, political appointees are nothing more than pupets, I think Kwabena just refused to lie with dogs! A political appointee who speaks the truth is considered against the gov't... Most of these appointments are just ploys to silence people. Look at the records of the Minister of Education; a renowned educationist of proven competence.....

so if you criticize your pastor for certain wrong actions,does it mean you should have to take up his position?? at least ke knows his limits,acknowledges his weakness and knows where his strength can be put to good use. this country would be a better place if we can be very honest about our qualities,not everyone can be a leader. but some people,out of greed,would welcome the role of a minister just because of the perks that come with it. i respect you for such an honest and principled decision.

You are part of Ghana's problem. You don't need to be a minister or a president in order to make a difference. This is is why we have NPP and NDC at each others throat everyday. You can be an ordinary citizen and help build Ghana. You don't have to be a minister. This is why everybody want to hold political office simply because they think that's the only way they can help.

Who remembers this "Mirror' sports commentator in the 1970's. It's hard to recollect his name right now.

He was offered that same post by General [stripped of rank] Kutu Acheampong, then Head of State.

This man sounded so good on the back pages of the 'Mirror' those days and seemed to have all the solutions to our sports woes, especially soccer.

At the turn of the stint of this man, sports analysts who followed his tenure at the Sports Ministry only concluded that he was the worse Sports Minister Ghana ever had, those days.

On both occasions as Mr. Kwabena Yeboah wants us to know, they wanted him as a Deputy. Maybe that sounded so low for him. He wouldn't have refused a top-level ministerial appointment, I think!

Why should the Public know about this, anyway? How important is this story to our Sports Development? Or, to our Nation's quest for advancement?

What is the News-Worthiness in this story?

Can our Reporters focus on what is relevant to salvage our Economy, or mend our Social fabric that is being torn asunder by bigoted Politicians and fake potential political messiahs?

We need ideas to solve our 'Dumsor, Dumsor' and pervasive Corruption problems, for instance. We don't need to waste time and resources reading and listening to Official appointments that never were, or who turned down what position some years ago.

Long Live Ghana!!!
