Funny article. When did corruption start in Ghana? Ask Nkrumah and his semi literate appointees? Who told you there was no corruption during AFRC and NDC at the time of Rawlings? The writer himself was corrupt. Probably he has been sidelined by Mahama.
The overthrow of Nkrumah was a necessary evil. Ghanaians had no freedom. Is that what Ghana wanted. The writer could have done a better job instead of being one sided.

Papa Sangparee

I think your write-up brings along some serious fallacies.

I do not recollect that the CIA in the wikilieaks and even before that; mentioned their link with Colonel Kwasi Kotoka.

As we all know, Col Kotoka was in Congo. CIA was busy doing business behind him, with Ghana and had established firm bonds with JWK Harlley of the Police and also Major Akwasi Afrifa.

Kotoka was disenchanted with the way Nkrumah ill-equipped the forces as they were in Congo (when compared with the Presidential Guards Regiment stationed in now Michel Camp-Shai Hills). It was no doubt therefore that Afrifa discussed with JWK Harlley if he Harlley could work out the NYE-BRO Kotoka.

Harlley successfully lobbied Kotoka (who was already 'pissed off' with Nkrumah).

This was the CIA connection.

What you wrote here "....Col. Kotoka and Major Afrifa were cowards who could not have overthrown Dr. Nkrumah by themselves, however, they managed to SELL GHANA OVER A DINNER TABLE TO THE BLUE EYED LONG NOSES OF BRITAIN AND THE UNITED STATES ..." isn't vey accurate, so I personally see it.

Long live Ghana.

BLACKMAN CAN'T THINK!
REMEMBER THE MOVIE: WHITE MEN CAN;T JUMP STARRING WESLEY SNIPES?
He said Africa has all the natural resources anyone could think of however, the citizens wallow in abject poverty because the leaders that are supposed to effectively utilise them for their
welfare are selfish and greedy....The Omanhen of Essikadu, Nana Kobina Nketsiah V says one major challenge dragging the development efforts of Africa is lack of leadership.
ALL THESE CORRUPT, USELESS SO CALLED LEADERS MUST BE SET ON FIRE AND BURNED ALIVE. BURN THEM ALL ALIVE OOOOOOOO TOM!
WICKED LEADERS! HOW CAN U SIT THERE AND ALLOW FOREIGNERS TO COME N OWN YOUR OWN SHIT. CAN YOU GO TO CHINA AND OWN CHINESE, INDIAN, LEBANESE PROPERTY, LAND JUST LIKE THAT?

Who told you there was no corruption under Nkrumah? You talk as if Ghana came out of your pocket. You are lucky to be staying in Obuasi else, the best you could have done is to follow goats into the bush. Ofui.

I will throw a challenge to you to investigate the background of all the ministers who served under Nkrumah and you will notice that they are rich and where did they get the money? Corruption started the day we weaned ourselves off the British.

Have you asked JJ what happened to the money paid into PNDC accounts no.48 and who were the signatories? Did JJ render accounts to anyone and who are those Ghanaians?

JJ is corrupt and so are all the leader before and after him.

No corruption under the Nkrumah regime? Are you kidding me? Though you may be right in stating that Nkrumah himself was not corrupt, all those who served in his government (maybe, and just maybe, with the exception of Kofi Baako and N A Welbeck) were corrupt to the core. I guess you were indoctrinated at the Young Pioneer Movement to re-write the history. Please don't forget that victims of the many atrocities of that regime are still alive.

Thanks, Willie, for your very polite comment. I however think that the statement "they managed TO SELL GHANA OVER A DINNER TABLE TO THE BLUE EYED LONG NOSES OF BRITAIN AND THE UNITED STATES AND GHANA'S OFFICIAL CORRUPTION STARTED FROM THERE..." under the Heading 'THE VIOLENT OVER THROW OF DR KWAME NKRUMAH' implied that there was no corruption in that regime prior to its overthrow.
