    Should every response be an insult? I don't think the regime under which this criminal was appointed is important. Just bring him to justice. A criminal is a criminal and his party colour should not be relevant.

  • P Djamgbe 6 months ago

    There's no person in the NPP who is not corrupt and a thief, from Akufo Addo all the way down to the last footsoldier - nation wreckers!

    Kofi Tonto says Kwartrng was around the embassy since 2015 but was regularized in 2017. Why, is the Ghana Embassy some kind of chop bar or 3rd division football club, where one can just be around without having been officiall ...

    Just as our Northern brothers feature prominently in crime and robbery cases, so do our Akan speaking people indulge heavily in official criminal activities and defrauding innocent people.
