The question to you Okoampah is,would a presidential candidate in the U.S. with a fraudulent CV get closer to even becoming a candidate? .The answer is emphatic NO!. So you see your so-called intellectual hypocrisy?.

Forson, where is the hypocrisy here? Wasn't Akufo-Addo legally nominated thrice to run as NPP's presidential candidate? Who decides here, NPP stalwarts or desperate NDC robber-barons?

Okoampa-Ahoofe, so you've now admitted that Akufo-Addo doesn't have a law degree? If so, which law institution did he train to earn his law certificate that he claims is missing? Middle Temple in London, England? Akufo-Addo earned a 3rd Class economics degree from the University of Ghana. To qualify for admission to the Middle Temple to train as a lawyer, one must have obtained the minimum of a 2nd Class Upper Division bachelors degree. But Akufo-Addo had a 3rd Class. So, the question to you is, how did he gain admission to the Middle Temple or wherever he trained?

You're a professor and you don't see anything wrong with a presidential candidate's CV or resume that has gaps in it, simply because that candidate to you is 'a genius' and has secured 'a front-row seat among the company of first-rate Ghanaian trial lawyers even without an earned law degree?' You don't think it's necessary that the Ghanaian electorate have the right to know the entire backgrounds of all the candidates who are vying for the presidency of the country?

You think that Akufo-Addo is the best thing that has ever happened to Ghana and therefore he must become our president but that if he does not become president the country will never progress. I'm afraid, you're totally wrong. Akufo-Addo is unqualified to become president of Ghana, given his track record. In the first place, he has demonstrated in the past that he is a corrupt politician and if power comes into his hands again, he will repeat his corrupt activities, or do even worse; therefore every effort must be made to deny him the presidency.

If you pretend to be unaware of Akufo-Addo's corrupt activities in the past, I would remind you of some of them that I've already addressed to him and I would challenge you to address them, or help him to do so:

Among the most serious corruption allegations against you personally that you Nana Akufo-Addo must address satisfactorily are the following:

1. Like former President Kufuor, you claim to be a lawyer, but you've so far failed to tell Ghanaians where precisely you earned your law certificate. We do know that you were kicked out of the University of Oxford and that you returned home and entered the University of Ghana where you earned a mere 3rd class degree in economics. You said your law certificate is missing, but are there not legal ways and means of getting a replacement of your certificate if you did in fact earn it but lose the original?

2. As Attorney-General & Minister of Justice in the Kufuor administration, you oversaw the de-confiscation of your cousin Raymond Amankwah, a noted world cocaine baron's frozen assets and returned them to him. This Amankwah was arrested in Brazil for cocaine trafficking. By de-confiscating and returning his frozen properties to him, you Akufo-Addo enabled him to get away scott-free.

3. As Attorney-General, you in 2001 suddenly discontinued prosecuting one Frank Benneh for drug trafficking, a case that the then NDC's Deputy Attorney-General Mr. Martin Amidu, had started prosecuting vigorously.

4. As Attorney-General, you failed willfully to prosecute three NPP Dzorwulu branch drug queens who had been arrested in February 2002 at the Kotoka International Airport for attempting to export cocaine outside the country. Not only did the case vanish into thin air, but their dockets also mysteriously disappeared from your office.

5. Unlike any other NPP (or their antecedents of UP or Progress Party) leader or potential leader, you Akufo-addo alone have been accused of drug addiction. Why so?

6. As Minister of Foreign Affairs, you issued at least 12 diplomatic passports (which actually were alleged to be missing) to your cronies. In fact, one of those passports was found with a Ghanaian cocaine deader who was arrested in Singapore.

7. The GNPC drill ship saga also hangs around your neck. What happened to the rest of the money from the sale of the ship? Remember, this case was mentioned against you in the Auditor-General's report. You're accused of having caused financial loss to the state.

8. And when the history of the Fourth Republic is written, it will be indicated that it was the Kufuor's NPP administration that turned Ghana into a cocaine hub in the West African sub-region and that you Akufo-Addo were a key player in that administration.

9. Indeed, as a parliamentarian, you Akufo-Addo pushed hard for a law, dubbed "Amoateng Bill", to be promulgated to essentially permit Ghanaian drug offenders jailed in Thailand to be returned to Ghana to serve the rest of their terms. What was your motive?

10. As Foreign Minister during the Kufuor administration, your Ministry withdrew US$1,446,396.00 from its Special Collections Accounts of seven embassies without the prior knowledge and consent of the Controller and Account-General. Also, an amount of US$106,168.00 was misappropriated at the Ghana mission in Cote d'Ivoire

The above are among the pertinent corruption allegations against you Nana Akufo-Addo that you must address. You can't merely ignore them and pretend that you're uncorrupt and incorruptible and so ask us the electorate to vote for you to become president of this dear country of ours. Which country is out there whose citizenry you suppose are so stupid as to ignore that kind of your background and so vote to make you their president? You must not be allowed just to throw dust into our eyes. So, please address these allegations thoroughly and logically, then you may be able to convince us Ghanaians to vote for you and make you our president.

"Where did Akuffo Addo trained"?

You have no right to question anybody's credentials.

Who told you illiterate fool one has to obtain 2ND class in a Bachelor's degree to train at Middle Temple Inn?

Are you idiot saying Akuffo Addo was not at Middle Temple Inn?

You fools continue to talk about 3rd class in Economics as a crime when your President Mahama Didi worse obtaining 3rd class in History.

Third class in Economics is like first class honors in History. Mahama's "A" level grades were so bad only History department at Legon will admit him. You have to make really good grades to get admitted to the Economics program at Legon.

You fools should stop this degree nonsense.

President Reagan graduated from Eureka College in Illinois with 2.0 grade average but was a great and successful President.

President Truman, a war time President and one of the most successful US Presidents never attended a University and was a clothes salesman.

Your own Rawlings was an "O" level certificate holder and not even a good one to get him to sixth form.

Stop this nonsense.

Sarpong, your response is the typically uncivilised Asante response. Whenever you Asantes disagree with others, it is customary for you to curse, rave and rant, singing your national anthem which is punctuated with terms like "you illiterate", "you idiot", "you fools", "foolish comment" (as you've done here), or in the vernacular, "aboa", "kwasia", etc., no matter how highly educated you are. You hardly engage the substance of the issue at hand, as the civilised do. When you use such uncouth language against people you don't know, you only expose the kind of bush house you come from. That kind of language is not what the literate, really educated people use. It is the language from the bush. So, you contradict yourself when you use the word "illiterate" for others. After all, how can literate, civilised people spew such dirty language?

Please try to address the issue intelligently and wisely. Do critical analysis and don't exhibit only your unenlightened emotions simply because you wish your candidate to win a presidential election.

You know what? I saw my subject, "Where did Akuffo Addo trained?" only after I had come back to read your comments. It was a typographical error; I wasn't aware that that was what I had typed; therefore you're only wasting your time to make a big deal of it. Your English is not better than mine in any sense; your English is sub-standard, at any rate. You can only judge the standard of my English on the basis of my entire article and see if it is riddled with such grammatical errors.

Fool, with all these alleged crimes and corruption charges, why is the government not prosecuting him? Are we to chalk it as dereliction of duty by the useless and incompetent President Mahama?

Ghana degree is awarded not obtained like USA where Dr. Okuampah obtained his PhD. Can't you read from the writer's diction that he is very brilliant? Ghana First class, second Upper are fake. Lecturers are not monitored properly. Beutiful ladies are graded because of their beauty. Ewe lecturers are biased towards Akan Students. I know a lot of people who had third class from UCC but passed better than first class and second upper students in GRE, GMAT. Stop this nonsense Akufu Addo had third class. Yes, because he went to high school in London and did not understand his then ignorant lecturers in Ghana. You get 1ST CLASS in a third world country? It means you are a fool. University lecturers in Ghana don't teach. They are very proud. They fail students without explanations. They post grades, students don't see their question papers. Let Ghana introduces a standard exams like GRE like USA. You will know that many 3rd class graduates are better. I know many brilliant people who were given 3rd class because their lecturers envied them.

TUKPE-MAN, Okoampa-Ahoofe's wife is an Ewe -- can you believe that!--and she will tell him the meaning of "tukpe". I understand that his Ewe wife from Abutia in the Ho district of the Volta Region, who also holds a Ph.D., isn't aware of the rubbish her husband spews about Ewes on this social medium. Poor her!

One day, though, the Ewes have to educate Ahoofe, especially about his foolish application of the term "trokosi" to all Ewes. He has obstinately refused to learn the true meaning of the term, even when he has been taught time and again. Owing to his hatred of all Ewes he takes delight in applying the term to all of them. That has been his way of insulting the entire Ewe ethnic group. Therefore the Ewes must teach him a lesson to wake him up.

You think University supervision in Ghana is better than USA? You are a joke. Come to learn in USA. You will find out that your lecturers are polluting you in Africa. I learn more things in my two years associate degree in USA than my four years undergraduate studies in Ghana. No serious person will ever compare PhD in Ghana with USA programs. Legon, KNUST, and UCC have produced more PhD holders in science and engineering yet they cannot produce a roll of cigarette for us to enjoy. Your wife must be very ugly because you don't know the difference between simple good and bad. ignorant man.

Mr. or rather Dr. Kwame Okoampa Ahoofe if this is the way you reason, then permit me to say that your own Ph.D is questionable. However, my answer to your question at the end of your piece is that such things easily happen where corruption is rife. It has nothing to do with being a genius. And Nana Addo with his 3rd Class in Economics is far from being a genius. He is much closer to being a fraudster. This is why we need to question his c.v.
