Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe is a fake

Dr. Arthur Kennedy, Dr. Charles Wireko Brobbey and Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe have some great things in common. They are all great men of letters, very experienced in their fields and politically savvy. Moreover, they are all deemed to be leading members of the NPP. Interestingly, they have all made great names as men of conviction and independence of mind in all subjects especially in politics.

Since the NPP lost the Presidential elections in 2008 and 2012 especially, they seem to have found their main voices only in criticizing the doings and internal actions of the minority NPP generally, the party's leadership and of course Akufo Ado, the Presidential candidate. I grant them their constitutional rights. Observers, however wonder how they seem to be very aggressive and scathing in their constant remarks against NPP, their own party to the extent that their real intentions and motives become questionable and puzzling. These have resulted in several brushes with the leadership of NPP and the rank and file with the swords of 'Possible dismissal or suspension' from the party hanging on their necks and heads.
But I have to give Dr Arthur Kennedy and Dr. Wireko Brobbey some marks. At least there are some instances that they have lambasted the Mahama NDC administration for their gross recklessness, ineptitude and tomfoolery. The two must be commended for showing traces of reality and objectivity in the body- politic some times; as much as they are seen to criticize the acts of the Mahama government side by side with their stone-throwing and boulder-throwing acts against the NPP. What has thrilled me is the recent vehement denunciation by Dr. Arthur Kennedy, of the NDC administration and the AG gross dereliction of duty with regard to the illegal and undeserved pay out of the Gh? 51m to embattled Alfred Woyome and the resultant court case, in a report ; .http://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/artikel.php?ID=351083 , under the headline -''Woyome saga: Gov't, A-G blinded to 'conflict of interest'.

In the report, Dr Arthur Kennedy, expressed agreement with Mr Martin Amidu's position, and opined that the A-G Mrs Marietta Brew Oppong was acting "defiant in response to Mr Martin Amidu and thus depicting her and the ruling government as blinded "to the conflict of interest' issue rightly raised by Mr Martin Amidu. Dr Kennedy asserted that:- "the truth is that given her previous role as an attorney and/or that of her law firm, she was never in a position to vigorously represent Ghana, in this case.

Dr Kennedy continued to hammer on the irregularities and conflict of interest concerning President John Mahama role in the sale of Merchant Bank to his brother Ibrahim Mahama and some Ministers roles in the purchase of aircraft planes and TULLOW oil company shares. Dr Kennedy shows clearly that he is not a one-way critisiser of political issues. Thumbs up to him. He has a record of also criticising the ruling party NDC.

But what about Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, another NPP leading member in the triumvirate under reference? I have a lot of questions for him to answer.
Why does he always rather only see wrong things about NPP and Akufo Ado in his public remarks? Why is he only 'yabeyabeyabe' when it comes to NPP condemnations? Does he see something wrong with the Woyome illegal pay-out?

Has he ever raised an issue against NDC? Has he ever criticized President Mahama recklessness and waywardness resulting in wanton and arrogant dissipation of the peoples monies in GYEEDA, CP, Woyome, Isofoton, SADA, SUBA ATTL etc toomfolery. Has he ever criticised the costly mediocrity and flip flop governance style Of Mahama? I charge that Dr Nyaho Tamakloe is a despicable hypocrite. I charge that Dr. Nyaho Tamakloe is a fake. I charge that he is dishonest and insincere. He is a good for nothing and disappointing. In whose interest is Dr Nyaho Tamakloe serving or working? Is Dr Nyaho one of the tribal jingoist after all? Is he doing nepotism because of some linkages we are not aware of? Dr Nyaho has spoiled his otherwise fine image. Dr Nyaho Tamaloe should never be trusted and his a place is in the ignominious stinking dustbin of history
