"What this means is that the Vetting Committee takes it(sic) work seriously, and is going about its duties with utmost care, making sure that any decisions arrived at are carefully reviewed to ensure that the highest level of fairness and justice is maintained."
1. The fact that the Committee's decision to disqualify the five has been revoked means that the Committee was a joke. Any court whose decision is so summarily reversed will be considered crassly incompetent.
2. The fact that Afoko's fate hangs in the balance shows that the NPP is still controlled by a cabal of egoistic extremists to whom democracy is a thing to be used and discarded.

I wish that the so called vetting commititee make available what disqualified the five candidates in the first place, and what made them changed their minds to allow them to contest after all. The tribal NPP can continue to fool themselves but not Ghanaians. They have forgotten or rather, they don´t know of the butterfly effect, ie very small changes in a very complex system/ situation can have big effects. No amount of what they have done so far can convience any reasonable Ghanaian of their haterd for other tribes in the party. Not even when Mr. Afoko has been cleared to contest.

Dr SAS, I am disappointed to read from the Prof as follows: "the preceding notwithstanding, I am quite impressed by the tact and professionalism with which the Vetting Committee appears to be going about its terms of reference". I am not sure if the Prof has been following development on this matter, especially, whether he has read the Afoko interview in the Daily Guide, sections of which I quoted in my article today on the same subject.
I agree with you that the decision by the Vetting Committee to reject the five only to be reinstated wholesale is a testimony of poor judgement and not tact and professionalism. It's even worst if what Afoko said in his interview is accurate. It smacks of incompetency or a deliberate ploy to disqualify the man. I hope the Prof is not becoming the proverbial ostrich.

2000 years of Akan glorious history can not be replaced by 50 just because ndc , nkrumah pepeni and ayigbe criminals say so or want it so. Today i listen to my psalms , hymns and war songs by bob marley and 2pac just like David who composed for the Israelis so remain inspired. i look out of my window and count myself blessed that i have not fallen prey to these fake prophets and priests whose only aim is to collect collection more than 10 times during a service but have the clarity of mind to meditate alone and offer thanks to God. What ever they say i know its the opposite , if they say look right you better quickly closely observe whats happening on the left. the say the economy is grown then you must know its a disaster , they say they are working on fixing the economy , know for sure they are only stealing , infighting now they have marginalized all influence of the Akans the pepeni and ayigbe crminals are now looking to eliminate each other , they say they have found new investors know they have discovered new ways to exploit and channel our money away. they say our women are short and ugly but look at the stinking rats and vulture they can women in their tribes and you you will know ours are the most beautiful in the world . they say they want cooperation but they are only looking to rubbish or steal good projects . they say they want the well-being of the ordinary man but in reality they only want to line their pockets with money and push the Akan further into poverty . they say they want an all inclusive govt but know they just want cement northern and ayigbe domination with their slave tribes like the Gas and some foolish brainwashed brongs , ashantis , fantis assisting them. they say they are evaluating ministers and other appointees but it is now a battle between the ayigbe and the pepeni to reduce the number of ayigbe since the Akans are all already irrelevant in their govt although we are the majority in this land . everywhere you go you find pepeni vultures looking over the carcass of Ghana and tearing out the flesh of wealth for their own greedy selfish selves . they are comfortable now as the critical mass of the people still think things will get better little do they know its beyond repair and can only be remedied with an organized uprising of the Akan. the npp seems to be cleaning house and thanks to ken agyapong most likely true fighters will emerge who will not throw in the towel like nana addo did just before the true battle starts due to cowardice. yes we are ready and will never surrender to these thieves and criminals , long live the republic of Akan

You left out the most important fact:
The fact that NPP is quintessentially an Akan party.
Until they change this fact they will never win a mandate to rule Ghana again.

Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe is wrong. He is unfair to Afoko to tag him as immature for clarifying some issues in the media. Okoampa was indiscreet in making that statement. The vetting of Afoko and others was in the media. The disqualification and the suspension of Afoko and others was in the Media by the Vetting Committee. The reaction of supporters of Afoko was in the media. The Comments of interested individuals were in the Media. So why Afoko should not go to the Media. The whole matter had travelled to this far because Afoko also went to media to make everybody interested to seek justice for a fellow citizen of the country.
