They are always complaining about money. You never hear them talk about anything that will benefit all Ghanaians. It's always about the money, money, money.....

For the hypocritical ears of NPP and nana akuffo Addo

1. KUFOUR ADMITS TO CORRUPTION IN HIS GOVERNMENT AND SAYS HE WONT EXPOSE IT Unlike President Mahama who has taken action on allegations of corruption ,the NPP government under Kufour refused to either expose or punish corruption. At a 2003 NPP delegates conference held in Cape Coast, President Kufour in his address made excuses for corruption in his government. Among other justifications he said corruption "was as old as Adam" and that on a daily basis he and his officials are tempted with all manner of things including the proverbial apple of the Garden of Eden. He admitted that people come with all manner of inducements but he only tells them to go and come next time. He also stated that he was not going to expose corruption in his government lest his government collapses and what he did when instances of corruption came to his notice was to call the offending Minister or appointee and caution him not to repeat the corrupt act.

2. ESSEKU GATE In 2005, then National Chairman of the NPP, Mr Haruna Esseku was caught on tape telling NPP supporters that President Kufour was the chief recipient of kickbacks from contractors at the castle. He lamented that unlike in the past when he could go to the castle and have his car boot stashed with kickback funds, President Kufour was at the time withholding those funds and this affected his ability to provide resources for the running of the NPP. For this revelation Mr Esseku was held hostage and prevented from attending the NPP delegates conference at Legon that year.

3. HOTEL WAAWAA In the first term of President Kufour and his NPP government, Gizzelle Yadzi revealed that she had been asked by Kufour to negotiate the purchase of an US $ 8 million Hotel for him. Of course later we were told that it was Chief Kufour and not President Kufour who bought the hotel. Chief Kufour had no business track record prior to his father becoming President and had also not demonstrated any capacity to raise US $ 8 million dollars to buy such a hotel.

4. LOOTING OF STATE LANDS The looting and sharing of state lands is still fresh on our minds. A recount of the sale of government bungalows and public lands to Jake Obetsebi Lamptey, President Kufour, Kwodwo Mpiani and other NPP Ministers and cronies points to evidence of corruption. Jake Obetsebi Lamptey bought his official bungalow which sat on over an Acre of prime Land at Ridge for a paltry GHC 390, 000 when the property is valued at USD 2,000,000. Documents available from the lands commission show clearly that from President Kufour, his Ministers, party functionaries and cronies all bought state lands at ridiculously low prices. The former international students hostel land was carved out and shared among more NPP Ministers, party functionaries, and cronies.

5. DIVERSION OF 6O BILLION CEDIS OF TAX PAYERS MONEY TO FUND NPP PROPAGANDA MACHINE A 2009 audit report revealed that up to 60 billion cedis of the tax payer's money taken from the TOR debt recovery levy, the HIPC etc. was used fund a so called communication strategy which was only a euphemism for a conduit used to siphon state funds into the NPP campaign. The auditors could not find details of this strategy or how it was executed except dubious payments to shady groups such as BLOW, PRIM, and FIRST RESPONDERS. Most of the people who make the loudest noise about corruption these days (Anthony Karbo, John Boadu and Samuel Abu Jinapor) are on a list submitted to National Security under the NPP for these payments to be made. This looting of the TOR coffers contributed in no small measure towards the difficulties it currently faces.

6. E.O GROUP SHARES IN JUBILEE FIELD While 25 million Ghanaians had to make do with only 13.6% stake in the Jubilee field. Two NPP top shots, George Owusu and Ambassador Edusei were given 3% shares which amounts to a colossal US$300 million. It is instructive to note that in one of the Wikileaks cables President Kufour was quoted as having told a US senator that his interests in Ghana's oil are being coordinated by Mr Kwabena Darko of Darko Farms. When investigations were carried out into the EO group's affairs by Ghanaian authorities, it emerged that their company address was the same as the address of Darko Farms! The explanations given for how EO group came to own such a significant stake in the Jubilee field do not wash. We are told that they found Kosmos and brought them in to discover oil for Ghana. It is strange that GNPC which was formed in 1983 and which has all the expertise one can think of in the oil industry could not find a partner to discover oil but it took a two-man company with no experience or track record in the oil industry to find a partner for us. Even stranger is the fact that the EO group was allowed to be part of the joint operating agreement signed among the partners in the jubilee field when they did not meet the basic requirements to be part of such a venture. First they have no track record of having being part of such a venture in the past neither did they possess the financial capacity to make good their part of the cash calls which are necessary for the operation of the jubilee field. As it turned out they were carried by Kosmos and seeing as Kosmos is no father Christmas, the conclusion that can be drawn is that the EO group shares was made a conditionality for giving Kosmos the exploration license. We recall that Franklyn Cudjoe and his so-called think tank were loud in their defence of this unconscionable action when public outcry greeted the exposure of this deal.

7. DAN BOTWE QUESTIONS SOURCE OF FUNDS FOR LAVISH NPP FLAGBEARERSHIP CONTEST In 2007 Mr. Dan Botwe, former General secretary of the NPP and Former Information Minister expressed worry about the ostentatious nature of the campaigns that were being waged by seventeen aspirants who contested for the 2007 flag bearer slot of the NPP. In an interview with Citi FM in 2007, he lamented how the NPP in opposition could not afford to purchase even flags and T shirts and yet in power it was possible for 17 people to spend so much money on a flag bearer race. Some aspirants could even afford to charter aircrafts for campaign tours and hire aircrafts to fly their banners in the air. Hackman Owusu Agyeman himself an aspirant in that contest also bitterly complained about the extravagance that was displayed in that campaign. Where did the NPP get all that money from if not through corrupt kickback collection?

8. GHANA @ 50 After spending a whopping US$ 75 million dollars on Ghana's 50th birthday celebration, it emerged that Dr Wireko Brobey, Chief executive of the Ghana @50 secretariat made cash payments to supposed contractors and service providers in polythene bags without any supporting documentation.

9. AMOATENG HEROIN SCANDAL NPP MP for Nkoranza North was arrested in the United States of America for trafficking large quantities of heroin and is currently languishing in in jail in the US. Amoateng was a key NPP financier and received his party's full support in the wake of his arrest.

10. SEKYI HUGHES LOOTS HIS BUNGALOW Former speaker of Parliament under the NPP Ebenezer Begyina Sekyi Hughes when leaving his official bungalow looted it empty. He carried along all the curtains, furniture and fixtures in the house. Some media reports had it that Mr Sekyi Hughes even took away flower pots.

It could be better of for this scientist to use his knowledge and wisdom to help JDM and NDC government to rule properly in Ghana.

You see, all these things will not help Ghana to move ahead. NPP is the opposition party and they are not ruling Ghana now.

I would be very happy if this man would have been talking about Ghana's economy rather than NPP matters.

We have too much educated fools in Ghana and what they think about all the time is money and their belly but no one cares about Ghana as a nation. I'm done. Have a lovely day sensible men who will understand me.

You can't get it. NDC is in power and if you don't see anything good in their governance that's the way you think. NPP want to snatch power from them, how can a fragmented party in opposition rule a troubled country. I'm not sure you really love Ghana. All you want to see or hear is NPP is in power. Very sad, is Ghana going to be moved forward with a depleted party in government ? Certainly not. You are living in England, please wise up.

What then is Amakye's reason(s) for the low turn out in Ho during Ndc's launch of their green book. Seats were empty & those occupied were by students who were forced to be there because the event took place on their school compound. Amakye, don't you think it's the fire outbreaks? People were busily putting up their structures to restart their businesses, it could also be possible most of them attended other engagements on the Saturday. Amakye,don't give this flimsy excuse afterall all the tickets were sold out.

I always find it hard and bizarre,how many people with titles contribute to debates or express opinions on some matters.
This so called political scientist ought to know that suspensions are to instill discipline for persons suspected of wrong doings therefore his explanation and assessment of the action taken by the NPP against some supposed members for their perceived acts to undermine the party is too child and stupid.What's wrong with showing good and decisive leadership?
One of the many reasons hindering Ghana's progress and development is lack of discipline and dedication and whoever find fault with the party's action/discision and for that matter won't join in the party's course,must be seen as a pretender who is no genuine member or sympathiser of the elephant family.They deserve no attention.
No any sound person witnessing the direction and appalling conditions coupled with excessive debt being piled on this country,will ignore that and instead concentrate on peddling falsehood about an opposition party's brave and neccessary efforts to ensure discipline and unity in their organisation.
Ghana has been ruled longer by the people and parties with the same ideology and values of Kwame Nkrumah after fifty eight years of independence and if there is no change for the good in progress and development,why is it so hard to elect visionary,vibrant people or party that can make real difference?
Please professor,talk about real issues affecting our limping and ailing country.

But then dnt also forget that abt 70% of electorates who vote during elections lack self-motivation and are therefore induced by political parties n candidates in one form or the other. the general citizenry have lost trust n confidence in all politicians n political parties but not only de NPP. The general economic hardship is also a key contributing factor.

Nana Addo hates people who tower above him. When stands side by side with tall and stout people he is reduced to unimportant figure or personality. He stood in between Afoko and agyapong and was reduced to a comedian awardee, Afoko looked presidential whilst agyapong looked like the vice president. Naturally Nana Addo was not created with the natural physical disposition that can make him a president.
