  Even thought the second republic constitution required government officials to declear their asserts, the hypocrites(Asante/Akyems) and their Cokrocaites(Progress Party) THIEFS never did. Corruption is the "soul" of the National Pesky Party(NPP). Their brothers from the Nepotism People's Party(aka Asante/Akyem yen Akan) are a cancer to the socioeconomic future of Ghana. Ghanaians really had enough of your New Patapaa Party(NPP). Please for your own state then the Asantehene will be a monarch and invite nana Addo to be prime minister. Funding of you new state can be generated by turning Kumasi airport into #1 transit for drugs and taxing prositution(as suggested by MP from Obuasi)
  ENOUGH OF UR STUPID OBSTRUCTIONISM

  Frankly speaking, looking at the current crop of leaders especially those who have been embroiled in these allegations, the best and most logical approach would be for them to let go the reins of the offices they hold, and subject themselves to the needed and rigourous exercise of "frisking them" figuratively speaking, to put this matter to rest once and for all. The needless banter and accusations being hurled back and forth, is first and foremost grossly uncouth and undignified, most especially when it is occurring in the public domain, with nothing seemingly being done about it.
  Indeed, Ken Agyapong has raised issues about the lack of resourcefulness of the present executive, about the potency of their organizational ability, and effective resource distribution with respect to logistics etc, etc as some of the reasons for which the NPP needs to get rid of them because, they have failed, if one really goes deeper into what Ken is putting across. Do the facts and evidence on the ground support the assertions being made by Ken Agyapong, or as requested by Arthur K, this matter requires further in-depth investigation to really settle the allegations so far raised by Ken? It would be prudent in the light of the foregoing, and the trading of accusations uninhibited by those who should know better, for this issue to be addressed immediately, to bring this matter to a closure, so the party can move on with it's reorganization and re-strategizing with the capable and resourceful hands, who are committed, trustworthy, honest, dedicated, humble, and above all, willing to sacrifice and champion the cause of the party, in it's quest to clinch power to alleviate and ameliorate the needless suffering, hopelessness and despair which has become the lot of Ghanaians under this recklessly corrupt and ineffective NDC gov't.

  Mother and Son::: look back before you close that door
  
  My mom only had one eye. I hated her, she was such an embarrassment. My mom ran a small table at the village market. She collected little weeds and such to sell, anything for the money we needed she was such an embarrassment. There was this one day during elementary school. I remember that it was visiting day, and my mom came. I was so embarrassed. How could she do this to me? I threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school..."Your mom only has one eye?!" and they taunted me.
  I wished that my mom would just disappear from this world so I said to my mom, "Mom, why don't you have the other eye?! You're only going to make me a laughingstock. Why don't you just die?" My mom did not respond. I guess I felt a little bad, but at the same time, it felt good to think that I had said what I'd wanted to say all this time.
  Maybe it was because my mom hadn't punished me, but I didn't think that I had hurt her feelings very badly.
  That night...I woke up, and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. My mom was crying there, so quietly, as if she was afraid that she mTight wake me. I took a look at her, and then turned away. Because of the thing I had said to her earlier, there was something pinching at me in the corner of my heart. Even so, I hated my mother who was crying out of her one eye. So I told myself that I would grow up and become successful, because I hated my one-eyed mom and our desperate poverty.
  Then I studied really hard. I left my mother and came to the city and studied, and got accepted in the University with all the confidence I had. Then, I got married. I bought a house of my own. Then I had kids, too. Now I'm living happily as a successful man. I like it here because it's a place that doesn't remind me of my mom.
  and scare my daughter! Get out here now!" And to this, my mother quietly answered, "oh, I'm so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address," and she disappeared. Thank good ness... she doesn't recognize me. I was quite relieved. I told myself that I wasn't going to care, or think about this for the rest of my life.
  This happiness was getting bigger and bigger, when someone unexpected came to see me "What?! Who's this?!"... It was my mother...Still with her one eye. It felt as if the whole sky was falling apart on me. My little girl ran away, scared of my mom's eye.
  Then a wave of relief came upon me... one day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house. I lied to my wife saying that I was going on a business trip. After the reunion, I went down to the old shack, that I used to call a house...just out of curiosity there, I found my mother fallen on the cold ground. But I did not shed a single tear. She had a piece of paper in her hand.... it was a letter to me.
  My Son,
  I think my life has been long enough now. And... I won't visit the city anymore... but would it be too much to ask if I wanted you to come visit me once in a while? I miss you so much. And I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion. But I decided not to go to the school.... For you... I'm sorry that I only have one eye, and I was an embarrassment for you.
  You see, when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye. As a mother, I couldn't stand watching you having to grow up with only one eye... so I gave you mine... I was so proud of my son that was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye. I was never upset at you for anything you did. The couple times that you were angry with me. I thought to myself, 'it's because he loves me.' I miss the times when you were still young around me.
  I miss you so much. I love you. You mean the world to me. My world shattered! Then I cried for the person who lived for me.
  And I asked her, "Who are you? I don't know you!!!" as if I tried to make that real.
  I screamed at her "How dare you come to my house

  Thanks to your good article, for me it saddens my heart any time I hear such utterances from the very people those of us in the grassroot look up to. I humbly wish to plead with Ken that any time he sees something wrong with the party hierarchy,he must channel his observation to the appropriate channel rather than vouch his feelings to the media and the general public which tend to worsen the party,s image in the eyes of the people.I,m humbly appealing to the council of elders to immediately step in to resolve this hullabaloo of corruption in the current executives

  Doc, I personally do not believe that there is any political party in Ghana that can fight corruption. NPP is no different from NDC when it comes to corruption. The only difference is, perhaps, some within NPP are clever in covering up whilst some within NDC are careless.
  
  Corruption has become endemic in Ghana and in fact it has become the norm rather than the exception. I am not mistaken to assume that the canker is now part of Ghanaian culture. For that reason, NPP will be making another political mistake if their campaign message is on corruption. Just consider the reaction of Abuga Pele's constituents regarding the GYEEDA charges against him. They believe he has done nothing wrong. NPP should go to them and say "do not vote for him because of GYEEDA corruption"? Will they?

  Not all generalized, abstract allegations are worthy of investigations.....
  The man accused certain NPP leaders of misusing items that he donated to the party. The chairman came out to say," I never received anything from you."
  The next step is for Kennedy Agyapong to counter Obetsebi's denial by supplying solid evidence of his donations and how they were misused. Instead, he reverted to generalized accusations and name-calling. At this point, his allegations should be dismissed as baseless.....
  We cannot go about investigating every single accusation thrown into the public domain by undisciplined citizens. After all, if Kennedy Agyapong were serious, nothing prevented him from lodging a formal, written complaint through the appropriate channels. That is how proper investigations can commence.
