    why only kenkey,he should have taken Banku ,fufu and konkontey along.HYPOCRITES......

  • Pumpuni 11 years ago

    Another Kwaku Baah is born.

  • Serious talk 11 years ago

    Kwaku Baah did it not for comic relief. Don't forget after that the Asante's tried to get his minority leaders position because at that time he was the leader of the UP tradition and as a Kwahu man that's unacceptable

    I agree. It is really stupid to think that when people are eating Kenkey they are poor. Is kenkey not part of our normal Ghanaian meal? Excuse me!

    IF you have any idea bring it. Not using old old politics. Tired of that. this is Akan and NPP mind. cheap and childish idea.

  • Baaffour 11 years ago

    Kwaku Baah, then Okwahu MP staged the same comical show [SANKOFA]. History repeats itself. It appears some of our MPs are still thinking like in the yester years.

  • Sani 11 years ago

    It was only last two years that Nana Akomea told Ghanaians that the same kenkey was costing GHC1.00; it turned out that no where can you find kenkey at that price. It was rather at 40 pesewas and 50 pesewas. Today we are told ...

  • TEO 11 years ago

    This is no news. Even in 1969 or so when our population was less than 10 million, Kwaku Baah from Kwawu took kenkey to Parliament. We are 25 million now. Cheap politics! .This does not inform any serious mind, it rather amuse ...

  • speak Out 11 years ago

    why did he not refuse the GHC50,000 when it was given to him for accomodation? He should have been a committed Ghanaian and refuse it so that they can use the cash to support farmers and address the growing budget deficits.
