    That's why Rawlings chose him. Kofi Blakey is a clean man

  • Joe/TX 9 years ago

    Ask him about the number of policemen he sent to Haiti in 2004 and how much he got from them. He is also corrupt. Be cool.

  • JOE 9 years ago

    Blame the editor of Ghanaweb.

  • KOO DWOMO 9 years ago

    DCOP Boakye is talking too much. The New Patriotic Party did not interdict him because of Chairman Rawlings. It was because of his own under dealings with drug barons for money. Kofi tell the truth, and stop the blame game, o ...

  • MANYA 9 years ago

    His poise alone suggests he could be a dedicated patriot.

    Rawlings chose him, even though he is Ashanti, because he saw this trait in this good cop.

    Rawlings IS a true Ghanaian, a nationalist, a super patriot, and he ha ...

    Thank you JJ for enhancing our human capital. DCOP Kofi Boakyi is worth more a billion of the police trained under Kufuor.

    What has the wife's involvement in drugs got to do with his police duties here in GHana to prevent the police service from promoting him for good work done.
