  BOY KOFI,
  We are thinking that camp calls it "Strategic Forfeit"!
  
  They prefer to first tear down Kwame Nkrumah's legacy, than build up Ghana and their own party!

  Rawlings was and is still a crook, but Ghanaians are still cowards for allowing the so-called transitional provisions to become permanent.

  As regards my side winning elections, it will not be at the sacrifice of the truth about Nkrumah. Indeed, I would rather NPP lost than that we concealed the truth about Nkrumah's arrant dictatorship and won upon chicanery worked on the people.
  A truly Ghana-centered approach will begin to uncover where we went wrong, so that we can discover where we can get it right. Such an approach will never engage in revisionism, rationalizations and dissembling of the historical record for political convenience. And if it is the purpose of you Nkrumaists to blackmail us into accepting Nkrumah's infallibility and immortality before voting for our national salvation, you may keep your votes for the NDC every time. Or better still, stay home on election day. And then we shall see who will suffer under bad governance.

  Praising Nkrumah will be done when appropriate but we will continue to criticize his PDA, One party state and President for life policies and if Npp has to stay in opposition for eternity, so be it.

  Why do you waste your precious time bashing the greatest anti colonialist fighter of Africa instead of selling the ideals of your prophets,Danquah and Busia?That will earn you a great deal of respect.Now listen,what you are doing is counter productive,you are rather sinking the chances of NPP winning the 2016 general elections.Promise me,you will not cry foul if you are down.You will not scream to the roof if you are defeated.You will not fabricate any stolen verdict stories.That you will not go to court with any stupid elections petition.Then you will remember how you have wasted precious time on bashing Nkrumah for nothing.The fact still remains that Nkrumah is the father of Ghana, regardless his weakness.No man is perfect.Tell us how long Busia was able to govern Ghana if indeed he had the leadership qualities.Thank you.

  Spitting out half-truths,untruths and contaminated truths just to redeem and rehabilitate the inglorious past of Danquah and other terrorists will not wash.
  
  How come Mate Meho folks don't say anything about the murder of Krobo Edusei's sister in Kumasi by NLM terrorists? Or the assassination attempts on Nkrumah's life;the bombings and killing of hundreds of innocent men,women and children;and the broken lives left behind by those bombings? There's an old lady still living in Acrra without legs - as a result of the bombings. This "Dokita" should take along Grandpa Akufo-Addo to visit and apologize to her,when in Ghana.
  
  Oh yes,Nkrumah was an "an Evil Incarnate","Satan","Hitler","Stalin","and a "dictator".And Danquah,Busia, Obetsebi-Lamptey,Baffuor Osei Akoto, Mallam Tula and Kludze - were all ANGELS.See how a warped and mentally - challenged mind is ?
  
  One thing patently clear - an incotrovertible fact - is that "Dokita" Sarfo is where he is today because of Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and his CPP government.The Founder of Ghana took the small naked boy from his parents'farm and sent him to a primary school; taught him how to use cutlery at a GET school(set up by Nkrumah to educate the children at the bottom - sons and daughters of illiterate farmers, fishermen,laborers,carpenters,market women and others);then to the University of Cape Coast(UCC)and Legon.After all this education,the SOB ran away to AMERICA (talk about brain drain),instead of contributing to the development of Ghana(he claims he shipped some junk - used cars to Ghana to help his village).
  
  Now,this "great" lawyer in America - a repository of all wisdom,tells NPP folks to stay home on election day in 2016.Because he alone has a monopoly on the truth;that since Nkrumah and CPP were "devils" for instituting the PDA - all their achievements in the Gold Coast/Ghana should be discounted.
  
  My people,ain't he nuts?
  
  PEACE

  Comment to: Prof. Justice Kludze’s Take on Nkrumah’s Dicta
  
  
  Hindsight is 20/20!
  
  But fairness in public discourse should be automatic, before we get to "hind".
  
  Adikanfo/Pacesetters walk where others have never walked! Most of them never have to wrestle with formidable external enemies with more resources enough to buy the services of your own people who will then secretly plot to harm the new State. Enough to control the entire world!
  
  And if today, we had the resources to educate the people and conduct a survey of all the people and positioned 2 paths:
  - the Lee Kuan Yew Singapore model (equality for the average man)
  - the current 2-party "virtual" revolving door (equality for the party man).
  
  Then let's ask the people to look forward and tell us which one they will select/choose, freely.
  
  ITEM: We have a whole series of articles from a book from a so-called lawyer about a "Kludze", another lawyer, and the most important caveats were purposely left out - a sorry attempt to make fools of readers, we believe!
  
  Funny - We've discovered through the New York Times the "Kludze" Senior is the same Kludze imprisoned by the Nkrumah regime for subversive activities against Ghana - facts Attorney Adjei Sarfo has conveniently neglected to provide so every ready can fairly assess the value of the entire "Kludze" testimony, as reproduced in 4 parts, this far.
  
  Then son Kludze writes about the Akosombo Dam in 2002. The section titled "FORESIGHT" begins with Kufour's presidency!
  
  So, what credibility should folks allow to that Kludze senior's book.
  Little, we imagine!

  P. KESSLER,
  
  Greetings!
  
  We imagine your comment is in response to that childish Kludze Snr. supposition and question:
  
  READ: If the C.I.A. was powerful enough to do this in faraway Africa, one wonders why it could not overthrow the communist regime only 90 miles off the American shores in Cuba.
  
  
  WE WILL ADD TO YOURS: Also, at that time, during the "Cold War", the western powers did not want a Union of African States, and Nkrumah's Ghana was leading that project.
  
  Besides, the US had already tried - the Bay of Pigs Invasion, and had failed.
  
  READ: C.I.A. Bares Its Bungling in Report on Bay of Pigs Invasion ...
  www.nytimes.com/.../cia-bares-its-bungling-in-rep...
  The New York Times
  Feb 22, 1998 - The Bay of Pigs invasion, carried out in April 1961, was organized by the C.I.A. ... of commandos that caused the deaths of nearly 1,500 raiders....
  
  NYT: "...The C.I.A.'s leaders believed that it was President John F. Kennedy's failure to approve an attack on Cuba's air force to coincide with the landing of commandos that caused the deaths of nearly 1,500 raiders. And in their rebuttals to the report by Mr. Kirkpatrick, they wrote that his depiction of ''unmitigated and almost willful bumbling and disaster'' -- in the words of Gen. Charles P. Cabell, then Deputy Director of Central Intelligence -- was motivated by personal malice. Mr. Kirkpatrick had wanted to be the agency's spymaster, but his career advancement stalled when he contracted polio in the early 1950's...//
  
  ...//...The report said the operation, whose planning began in April 1960, started as a classic covert action ''in which the hand of the United States would not appear.'' The plan called for a group of exiled Cuban leaders, supported by a C.I.A. cadre, to build political momentum slowly toward toppling Mr. Castro, who had taken power 16 months earlier..."
  
  OUR COMMENT: A classic case applicable to Ghana!
  
  The CIA and the western powers simply found some cheap-ass military and civilian persons in Ghana to do their bidding - so their hands will not be exposed. On this one, no one should take our word for it.
  
  This is precisely what Dr. Kwame Okoampa Ahoofe meant....
  
  When Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe said......:
  
  "....It is...instructive...that none of the...coup d'états have been staged by any other than bona fide members of the Ghanaian military. Granted, some rascal civilians...staunchly backed regressively Darwinian means of political access, including a world-renowned...former prime minister (Busia)..."
  
  $25K could have been good enough for Busia- as he'd already asked for that much before!
  
  
  WRT KLUDZE SRS' "...It is difficult to understand why the C.I.A. would be given the credit for liberating us..."
  
  WE SAY: This is another childish and pedestrian question for someone who was a lawyer and ostensibly worked as a member of a groups to achieve objectives/goals.
  
  Did it ever occur to Kludze Snr., the Danquah-Busia-Confederate justice that credit comes in 100 parts? That, in many cases, "credit" is not a "Zero-Sum" construct?
  
  Mighty waste of out time on this one!
