    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 ne ...

    Spio now belongs to the fools group, what a degrading! But I am strongly of the opinion he has come back with only one intention, just to steal like Mahama and any other NDC buffon.

  • ZoRRo 9 years ago

    The system in Ghana tolerates liars and second chance fraudsters, that is why we are in this mess

  • Stomach Politician 9 years ago

    so if Spio's head has failed him, hasn't he got any thinking relation to advise him? joining a degraded team!!

  • BlindMan 9 years ago

    Stop addressing him (Dr) - despite lost of worthiness wearing that garment, Spio's ownership SLIPS the honor to the lowest level.
    What goes around, comes around and he needs a much thicker SKIN to survive his offices. For no ...

    Without doubt that apart from Hon. Martin Amidu who joined the NDC by mistake, the rest of the NDC so-called politicians are allergy to the truth,
    transparency, probity, accountability and social justice.

    This man is truly, egocentric,opprtunist and greedy. He thought he was the best and indispensable to the Mills' gov't. But the latter demonstrated a high sense of discretion by ignoring him. He, like many in the P(NDC), neve ...

  • Kofi 9 years ago

    Are you surprised? Who else would be appointed from the NDC since they are all liars? Actually lying improves your CV for NDC appointment.

  • Benjamin Nyatanyahu 9 years ago

    This is because NPP also has a lot of certificateless people in their party,even the two time failed flagbearer.

  • K. MANU 9 years ago

    I wished Hon. Kyei Mensah Bonsu could have given us more information about Spio Garbrah's fake educational credentials. I hope he is not going to us his "Honorary doctorate" title henceforth.

  • Ronny 9 years ago

    His credentials are genuinely genuine.
    Akuffo Addo has no certificates & his CV is fraudulent. Why is Oxford missing on his CV.Even such a character like Akuffo Addo wants to be president!.

    Lawrence Addae or Addai...is not the issue here.When Acheampong first arrived on the scene his name was printed in the news papers as ''Kuti'' which prompted many Ghanaians to suggest he was a Nigerian

  • ATUONI ASIKANTWAA 9 years ago

    Look at Spio's picture now,you could tell he's very hungry which gave him an angry mouth against President Mills who wouldn't let him join the 'chop chop' bandwagon.

    You were the very person who applauded him during his vetting. Today, you're the same man saying he was evasive & not candid with his answers. So you & Spio, who is not candid? Mr Kyei, are you an angel?.Give us a break, joo!

    But if Kyei Mensah Bonsu didn't like the answers of Spio, he alone could not approve Spio's appointment. It seems the MP never voted for Spio's appointment but his only dissenting vote could not stop Spio being approved hence ...

    Justice Bronx, that's not the point.

    The point is, you interviewed a candidate.

  • IMPEACH? 9 years ago

    Gyeeda, pre-empting competition is just savvy, not foolishness.
    By the way, foolishness is not an impeachable offence.
