Steve Kaye London, any reason why Ghana is among the eight nations in the world with lowest IQ. Does it surprise you how some people are clamoring to Mahama as if he just descended from another planet. Our nation has a long and an unpredictable journey to go due to our mindset.

I read the audit report that came after the banking crisis and trust me, NDC and Mahama pushed Ghana into an endless canyon. If Mahama won the 2016 election, the banking sector would have collapsed under his very nose.

My question to Mahama's supporters is this, why he did not clean the banking sector as mandated by the IMF before leaving office?

HUNG HIM HIGH-HUNG OFORI ATTA HIGH LIKE SADAM HUSSEIN OF IRAQ.
Arrest ALL THE NPP THIEVES OF THE GHANA ELECTRICITY CONTAINERS-AT THE TEMA HARBOUR. These people are NATION WRECKERS-The NPP Leadership hate Ghana. The Masses are suffering but the few are enjoying massively at the expense of the masses-VERY SAD AND UNFORTUNATE-SEE BELOW THE NPP ARMED ROBBERS-JUST A FEW-NOW WHAT ABOUT GABBY OCTHERE DARKO AND EDWARD AKUFFO ADDO?
ALL DIE BE DIE AKUFFO ADDO MUST INDEED FACE ONE OF THE RAWLINGS FIRING SQUADS FOR BETRAYING US ASHANTIS. Look at this idiot, black monkey. Ashantis voted skirt and blouse for you TANI Akyem Abuakwa tiny population of Eastern region, made up of Krobos, Akuapims and Akyems-the two former always vote for the NDC. But you bloody ungrateful nation wreckers-TRAITORS did nothing for the Ashanti Region.
This IDIOT-needs to face one of the Rawlings FIRING SQUAD.
Bloody IDIOT- For 8 YEARS Ashantis VOTEd SKIRT AND BLOUSE WITHOUT THINKING for the TINY Akyem Abuakwa TANI Akuffo Addo- but he rewarded the Ashanti Region with no project completed for the people who voted massively for him. Change the NPP delegates voting system for the NPP Leader to reflect the AVERAGE total number of VOTES RECEIVED FOR EACH REGION as a percentage of the TOTAL NPP VOTES RECEIVEd. Because how can you allocate the same delegates voting power for the Ashanti Region compared to the Eastern Region, Volta Region, Northern Ghana Regions?
SEE BELOW-THE LOOTING OF NPP APPOINTEES-THEY STOLE Poor Ghana pensioners money.
Former Akufo-Addo appointees whose wealth have courted national conversations
Akufo-Addo with the three appointees from left Eugene Arhin, Sir John, and Kwabena Adu-Boahene
The reign of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo may have long been over since January 7, 2025, but the very people who helped him during his 8 years in office may not all been enjoying their ‘retirements’ so well, or so quietly.

And this is for reasons aligned to promises and what appears to be a robust aim by the John Dramani Mahama government, which took over from the past one, to prosecute any forms of corruption that arose during the former administration.

These formed part of campaign promises by John Mahama and his National Democratic Congress (NDC), coming into the 2024 Election, and so far, they have been determined on achieving that.

Caught up in that, have been a number of appointees of Akufo-Addo who have ended up several investigations, or, in simple terms, whose names have been linked to controversial wealth that people believe may be, somehow, corruption related.

In this GhanaWeb article, let us take a look at some of the appointees under Akufo-Addo whose wealth came into question, generating national conversations.

In each of these cases, something happened that brought their cases into the public light, prompting national discussions and great interest.

Eugene Arhin

Eugene Arhin was the Director of Communications at the Presidency under Nana Akufo-Addo for the 8 years he was in office.

In 2021, a divorce case with his wife made it into the public, where his wife was demanding for certain reliefs in the separation process.

As part of the things she listed, she made mention of some of the properties owned by Eugene Arhin and these revelations, in the eyes of the public, generated a lot of conversations.

For many, did the Director of Communications at the Presidency, Eugene Arhin, amass all that in a space of four years, or during his time in public office?

Gloria Assan Arhin, his wife at the time, prayed the Accra High Court to grant her divorce request and also give her a number of properties, including a five-bedroom residential property (which was intended to be the matrimonial home of the parties) situated on a two-plot of land lying at East Legon in Accra; a four-storey building comprising 16 separate flats/apartments situated on a parcel of land at Bubiashie in Accra which land was acquired from a family friend of the petitioner.

She also asked for a storey building being constructed which comprised of 16 separate flats/apartments situated at Tuba-Weija in Accra.

These were but just three of the over twenty properties she sought after as part of the divorce.

Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie (Sir John)

Sir John, a former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), became the Chief Executive Officer of the Forestry Commission of Ghana until his death.

After his death, his will became public, generating another widespread conversation among Ghanaians. It involved a tall list of 75 properties, including houses, parcels of land, bank accounts, investments, businesses, guns and clothes.

His will also raised public concerns following the discovery that he owned lands at the Achimota Forest. This was also because President Akufo-Addo had, at the time, signed an Executive Instrument that said part of the Achimota Forest was no longer a forest reserve.

Critics said the move was a ploy to get the land into the hands of the ruling elite, an accusation the government vehemently denied.

Sir John’s ownership of parcels of lands at the Achimota Forest appeared to have heightened the deep-seated mistrust of the government and its actions.

Below are the properties as listed in the will of the late Sir John:

House on plot number GA54480 located in Ogbojo, East Legon, and acquired on February 12, 2018

House on plot number GA 55329 located at Oyarifa No. 2, acquired on May 11, 2018

Kwabena Adu-Boahene

The last person in this list of Akufo-Addo appointees whose wealth have courted public conversations is the former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau, Kwabena Adu-Boahene.

He and his wife, Angela Adjei-Boateng, were recently detained by the Attorney General’s office following his arrest at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA).

Following his detention, Attorney General Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine revealed at a press conference on Monday, March 24, 2025, a list of properties acquired by both suspects since 2018.

This, he said, was established through painstaking investigations by the EOCO and the AG’s office, indicating that the properties acquired were bought using embezzled state funds.

Below is a breakdown of the properties and their estimated values under the couple’s names below:

1. No. 2 stream part drive, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra which is estimated at $1,000,000 (valued at GH¢15,000,000)

2. No. 6 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra

3. No. 7 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra estimated at a value of $200,000

4. No. 8 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates LA, Accra estimated at a value of $97,815

5. No. 9 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates LA, Accra also valued at $270,000

6. No. 10 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates LA, Accra at $150,000, Additionally, another initial cash deposit of $500,000 was made to purchase 5 houses.

7. Vertex properties at Oyarifa Gated Estate Development. This consists of 27 houses each valued at an estimated cost of $295,000 (GH¢127,000,000).

8. Two properties in London

The AG further disclosed that an amount of up to GH¢39 million was allegedly diverted and embezzled by the suspects from the agency.

"GH¢39,462,480 went into Adu-Boahene and his wife's pockets from one transaction," the Attorney General said.

This Agongo man is talking like somebody who is high on weed or alcohol. Are you the only person whose trial was truncated by the new administration? There are more decent men whose trials were stopped and they are wisely keeping quiet. Look at Dr. Forson. He has not commented publicly on any controversial issue. There are many wise men whose cases were quashed by the new administration. Why are you alone talking a lot of nonsense? Learn from wise and decent men like Dr. Opuni and shut your stinking mouth. And why is it that only the two Pepe people among the lot behaving foolishly? Is it part of your culture? Behave like a civilized man . Nonsense
