    Much Ado About Nothing. The Elephants still have independent intelligent friends.

  • Benji 2 months ago

    Where's Ken Ashigbe? He told us Mahama cannot name any chief justice while Torkonoo is in court.

  • Benji 2 months ago

    Or was it Kofi Bentil? In any case the new chief justice was the one in line to be CJ but Akuffo Addo jumped him to pick Torkonoo so she can do NPP's bidding.

  • NepotisticPantangParty-NPP 2 months ago

    akufo addo was best at jumping & castigating to eliminate. With instruments like OppongNkrumah and ambitious, yet unfit pawns in uniforms, they blew lies on radio, to mess-up careers of worthier colleagues.
