DEAR DR. KPESAH WHYTE AND READING PUBLIC OF GHANAWEB.COM,

IT IS MY RESPECTFUL SUBMISSION THAT EVEN IN LAW THERE IS A LEGAL PRINCIPLE WHICH PROVIDES THAT "THERE SHOULD BE FINALITY TO LITIGATION" AND THAT LITIGATION MUST HAVE A RESTING PLACE AND IT IS MY FIRM BELIEVED THAT THE SAME PRINCIPLE TO APPLY TO THE MATTER UNDER DISCUSSION AND TO PURPORT TO BE FINDING JUSTIFICATION TO WHAT EVER THE NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR HAS SAID WOULD ONLY DRIVE THE MATTER FOR LONG.
THAT HISTORY SHOULD BE OUR GUIDE AND THAT THIS MATTER SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO PRE_OCCUPIED GOVERNMENT AND PARTY OFFICIALS AND FUNCTIONARIES BECAUSE A SIMILAR ISSUE HAPPENED DURING THE THEN PROGRESS PARTY (PP) ERA LED BY THE LATE PRIME MINISTER PROFESSOR KOFI ABREFA BUSIA WHEN THE PROGRESS PARTY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY DISPENSATION OF CABINET OR PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT WHERE THE PARTY WITH MAJORITY SEATS IN PARLIAMENT LEADER BECOMES THE PRIME MINISTER AND ALSO THE CABINET MINISTERS APPOINTED FROM THE PARTY WITH MAJORITY SEATS IN PARLIAMENT.
THAT THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER WAS THAT THE THEN PROGRESS PARTY GOVERNMENT WAS DOMINATED BY AKANS SINCE THE MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT FROM THE VOLTA REGION AND PART OF THE OTHER REGIONS WERE IN THE MINORITY PARTY KNOWN AS THE "NATIONAL ALLIANCE OF LIBERALS" {NAL} LED BY THE LATE HON.KOMLA AGBELI GBEDEMAH OF SOME LEADING MEMBERS FROM THE VOLTA REGION WERE HON.DR.OBED ASAMOAH,HON. SAMUEL OKUDZETO KNOWN AS "SAM OKUDZETO" AND THE LATE DR.KPORTUFE AGAMAH.
THAT IT WAS ONE OF THE DEBATES AT PARLIAMENT WHEN THE OPPOSITION PARTY (NAL) ACCUSED THE PP GOVERNMENT OF BEING DOMINATED BY THE AKANS AND IN AN ANSWER TO THAT THE LATE THEN ATTORNEY GENERAL VICTOR OWUSU INTIMATED THAT "THE EWES ARE INWARD LOOKING PEOPLE" WHCIH THE PEOPLE OF THE VOLTA REGION TOOK SERIOUSLY AND THE REMARK WAS STRONGLY SUPPORTED BY THE PP GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND FUNCTIONAIRES WHILE THE OPPOSITION STRONGLY CONDEMNED IT.
HOWEVER, OVER A PERIOD OF TEN (10) YEARS TIME THAT REMARKED HAUNTED THE LATE HON.VICTOR OWUSU WHEN HE WAS THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE FOR THE POPULAR FRNT PARTY (PFP) DURING THE SECOND RUN-OFF ELECTIONS BETWEEN HIM AND THE LATE PRESIDENT HILLA LIMAN OF THE PEOPLE'S NATIONAL PARTY (PNP).
THAT EVEN THE LATE HON.KPMLA AGDEDI GBEDEMAH TOOK HON>VICTOR OWUSU TO CONSULT WITH THE VOLTA REGION HOUSE OF CHIEFS AND PRESENTED A COW AS AN APPEASEMENT HE WAS INFORMED TO RATHER COME BACK AFTER THE RUN-OFF ELECTIONS WHICH HE LOST BECAUSE OF SUCH REMARKS.
IT MAY SEEM THAT THERE WAS RECENT PUBLICATION THAT SOME PEOPLE WANTED TO RANSACK THE LATE PRIME MINISTER PROFESSOR KOFI ABREFA GRAVE.
THAT IT IS A HIGH TIME FOR ALL OF US TO LEARN THE HARD LESSON THAT "THOSE WHO LIVE IN A GLASS HOUSE NEVER THROW STONES". THIS IS BECAUSE THE REPURCURSION WOULD BE TOO COSTLY.
THAT "A STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE" THE PROVERB PROVIDES AND IT IS ALSO A WISE SAYING, THERETO.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.
GOD BLESS GHANA AND AMERICA.
VERY TRULY YOURS,

Tsatsu used only $40million dollars to establish GNPC, developed it, did feasibilities, found oil only for the thief, Kuffuor Kronfuor, the ex-president to steal 3% OF everything.

And as if it was not enough, sold our drill ship and then stole $3.5m dollars from the sale proceeds.

Now 3% of our oil which Atta Mills bought back made Kronfuor Kuffuor rich by £300,000,000 pounds sterling in hard currency so gargantuan that, $40m has become a 'CHANGE'.

Ghanaians must never forgive Kuffuor, alias Kofi Diawuo.

IT PAYS TO BE TRUTHFUL.SUCH UNTRUTHS AND INSULTS DO NOT PROFIT ANYBODY. TSATSU DID NOT FIND US OIL; OIL WAS FOUND DURING KUFUOR'S TIME.

AUTHOR: MARTIN A.B.K. AMIDU....

It would appear that those in control of the NDC, for the time being, were bent on excluding other bona fide members of the Party who may wish to lay democratic claims to who becomes the next flag bearer of the Party by excluding them even before the mortal remains of the demised President were interred. It is also symptomatic of how political party elites in Ghana and Africa worm their way into the confidences of persons perceived as likely to ascend to power positions for purposes of eventual personal economic gain at the expense of the generality of the mass of Party members and the Nation which every President swears to serve under the Constitution...

Illiterate idiot, who told you moron that that $40 million dollars was used to establish GNPC? You don't even understand what you dumb smelly filthy fool reads. Tsatsu hedge with GNPC funds and lost. Hedging is like gambling by forecasting of what a future price of a commodity will be which Tsatsu did by himself without any consultation with other Officials and lost.

Tsatsu should have been arrested and imprisoned for gambling with GNPC Money. Through Tsatsu's stupidity, we lost our drillship

How stupid you are. A Trokosi defending his kind. It was the syphoning of the nations hard earned cash by Tsatsu and his cohorts at GNPC that caused Kwesi Botchway, the then Finance Minister to resign from the Government at that time.
Tsatsu has always been a criminal and a nation wrecker. He found no oil. He was there setting up all kinds of businesses from cocoa farms, poultry farms, galamsey businesses, drill ship hiring, etc to the neglect of GNPCs core mandate.

When is this Kobby Acheampong, or what is his name, going to make matured contributions? Such idiot is still being given a position. This clearly depicts that the visionless NDC has not got men with leadership quality.

Did the former Attorney General take the documents with him?
Documents of this kind are not personal property. They belong to the country. I will order that those documents be placed in that office where they belong in the first place.
Then we can talk about inviting the former Attorney General to come answer some questions. It will be illegal for these documents to be in the possession of the former Attorney General.

Justice Appau is just in a hurry to impress Prez Mahama and the NDC by suggesting that the kuffour administration erred in selling the drill ship without consulting the board. He has even forgotten that the laws governing the establishment of GNPC equally empowers the minister to do business in the name of GNPC when there is no board in place. So why can't this so called judge invite the former ministers who did this transaction for questioning and clarification other than making those preemptive statements. Or he is also doing propaganda politics with this whole issue. Why has he wasted so much time on this particular ship like that. What about the woyomi's money which brought about all these issues. Hmmm.....time will tell.
