President John Agyekum Kufuor gets New Adviser?

Another whole new brouhaha is brewing over and around the American lady who is putting together the GHANA EXPO in the USA this month, one Erieka Bennet, who is referred to in the US media as "Event Adviser" to Ghana's President John Agyekum Kufuor", with wild rumours circulating that she is more than an "Event Adviser" and that if care is not taken.

We may be having another "Alexandria O'Brien" on our hands, that the rumours in the USA are that back here in Ghana, she is housed in a posh Ghana Government bungalow in Accra at state expense, chauffeur-driven with bodyguards and all, even though the GHANA EXPO event is supposed to be a purely private sector event, and that the way things are going.

There is likely to be a showdown soon between one of the private sector organisers of the event who is believed to be more than a business partner to Ms. Erieka Bennet, and the President's men who are determined to ensure that as President, Kufuor gets what he wants?
