We see in the Ukraine today how justice and freedom are obtained , if you are not ready to fight for it nobody will give it to you on a silver platter. no corrupt judiciary like atuguba or police can lie to these idealists and nationalists , no compromise or bribe of power sharing is good enough to make them sell out on the wishes of the people . npp should follow ken agyapong and 10,000,000 of us insights to the bone will come out and fight to the death in the streets to reverse the injustices to the Akans of the last 60 years. the abuse of the electoral processes by rigging did not pass there and should not pass here in Ghana. we dream like we have a democracy like the usa or any other normal country but in reality we have a system of governance with characters like we see in north Korea and Ukraine , criminals to the core are in charge, arise people of Akan and fear not the fight as we shall be victorious and triumph in this fight , yes its time for war . long live the republic of Akan

'Cashgate' trial begins in Malawi
President Joyce Banda ordered investigation of politicians and businessmen over millions of dollars in embezzlement.
A trial looking into the biggest financial scandal in Malawi's history has begun in the capital, Lilongwe.
At least 68 prominent figures stand accused of stealing funds in what has been dubbed "Cashgate" by the media. It is estimated that more than $100m over a 10-year period has been lost.
A senior Malawian civil servant and two executives on Wednesday became the first of dozens of defendants to go to trial.
"The cases have started and I pray that they'll go fast so that Malawians can finally know what happened," Information Minister Brown Mpinganjira told the AFP news agency. "We have been looking for answers and the answers can be found through the court proceedings."
We have been looking for answers and the answers can be found through the court proceedings.
Brown Mpinganjira, Information Minister
President Joyce Banda, who has appointed international investigators to probe the allegations, has said that about 30 percent of the country’s budget could have been looted.
So far authorities have tracked $20m in stolen state funds, Mpinganjira said, amid rumours the figure could exceed $100m.
Government officials allegedly used a central computer payment system to transfer money to non-existent firms for supposed services, then deleted the companies' information from the system.
Foreign aid withheld
Donor countries are withholding millions of dollars in financial aid pending the investigation. Western donors provide about 40 percent of the country's annual income.
"People are awaiting the outcome of this case with great intensity, knowing as they do that in the past cases such as this have simply disappeared," said Al Jazeera's Mike Hanna, reporting from Lilongwe.
"People want to know if this case will go through and whether people will be held responsible."
Allegations of the massive looting of government funds surfaced after the shooting of budget director Paul Mphwiyo in September.
Mphwiyo, who survived the attack, had reportedly planned to reveal a corruption ring.
Banda dissolved the cabinet in October and sacked the powerful ministers of justice and finance.
The president, who took office after the death of her predecessor in 2012, faces presidential, parliamentary and local government elections in May.
More arrests in the Cashgate saga are expected when a probe backed by Britain and the European Union is completed, according to Mpinganjira.

Every clown is desperately pulling the crowd to their circus!!. Very interesting to hear owusu afriyie saying no one should take Ken Agyepong(kill all Gas and Ewes) serious!. Who are the significant, credible and serious people in NPP? I hasten to ask. As the Ewe saying goes' when there are no credible and responsible persons to wear the crown, the monkey tends to take over and becomes the king'. Is this the end of NPP?. It would be sad to see NPP pushed further away from the frontline of Ghan politics.

It is sad that a potentially viable party like the NPP cannot figure out how to sort out its personality and succession problems. In the eyes of many decent Ghanaians, Genocidal Agyepong and all-die-be-die Akufo Addo are the 2 insurmountable impediments to NPP's every effort. Heaven knows who among them is going to wear the "monkey crown".
Akufo Addo's failure rate since 2008 together with his old age seem to suggest that he cannot even be the proper monkey. If the NPP still wants Akufo Addo to wear the crown, then the party is in deep trouble. Some may say that there is still time for the NPP to put its house in order. Let's hope so.

Kennedy agyapong was right to call all the top npp members as thieves, if akans npp party can support this man kennedy and even call him as their HEROES when he declared and call for AKANS to kill the GA'S and EWE'S ,He even go ahead that the AKANS must lynch any security personnel, whenever they dare to come to their aid. Why kennedy becomes a bad person now if he only said the truth and called the AKANS Npp party gurus as a thieves? kennedy must go to the Disciplinary committee to demand his $1.5million, is that how the npp treat their Heroes?

kennedy agyapong was absolutely correct to say the npp executives led by okanta jake the son of the bomber who killed and maimed a lot of innocent Ghanaians including school children in the days of Kwame Nkrumah, were thieves. his stealing habit is believed to be a curse on his late father. jake will steal anything that come his way until the day he dies. an average Ghanaian would not forget what he did to the donations meant for relatives of the victims of the 2002 stadium disaster. he used government money to renovate a government bungalow he stayed in as a state minister and bought the same bungalow at a cheap prize only for him to sell it out for millions of dollars. he gave out a government plush land at ring road estate to an American church and got scholarship for his daughter to study in America. just this morning, it was reveled that he cheated a fellow party man by stealing part of the funeral donation meant for his late mother. if this is not the curse on his bloody and wicked late father punishing him, then what is wrong with this obroni wawu!

Sir John is a joker. Who told him anybody expressing his/her intention to commit suicide will not do it? I believe he has no knowledge in psychology. I wish he comes to the US or ask any psychologist if what he is saying holds. Now they are calling Kennedy Agyapong names because he is against the executives. What goes round comes around so the saying goes. What happened to their chief financier and firebrand? Why have they forgotten Agyapong so soon? Oh! NPP, a party with short memory. Owusu Afriyie would be forgotten like every past officer despite his loose talks to project his political cause.

Sir John, his cousin Dr. OKoampa-Ahoofe of the USA and their kindred spirit in Dr. Akadu Mensema have engaged in what is nothing short moral bankruptcy of the Kyebi kind in modern day Ghana politics.
These three, along the brain dead Rockson Adofo in the UK have time on their hands to engage in posting articles of hatred brought on by their respective tribal shortcomings for all to read. Interestingly while consumed with hatred Sir John could not and did not know that Kennedy Agyapong was a joke. The brass at the NPP with support from outsiders like Dr. Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe, Dr. Akadu Mensema and Rockson Adofo wrote to cheer him on. Now this weasel, Sir John, had the gull to seek sympathy from decent Ghanaians because his once leader in crime Kennedy Agyapong has turned on the bunch of fools in the NPP who could not see Kennedy Agyapong for what he is.
