  WONTUMI IS A TRAITOR- WONTUMI SOLD US THE ASHANTIS TO AKUFFO ADDO FOR HIS OWN SELFISH ENDS. WONTUMI WAS SITTING IN THE FRONT ROW WITH AKUFFO ADDO-AKUFFO ADDO AND BAWUMIA-ENJOY IMMUNITY FROM PROSECUTION. WONTUMI-AKUFFO ADDO AND BAWUMIA USED US ASHANTIS FREE OF CHARGE BUT DID NOT COMPLETE ONE PROJECT FOR US ASHANTIS. ALUTA CONTINUA
  Africa needs selfless Leaders like Dr Kwame Nkrumah. Dr Kwame Nkrumah, Julius Nyerere of Tanzania were PATRIOTS-Kwame Nkrumah NEVER BUILT ONE ROOM OR A HOUSE FOR HIMSELF. Julius Nyerere of Tanzania, lived on a FARM after he retired as President. Look at how COMMUNIST ADMIRER, FASCIST President Donald Trump treated the President of South Africa like an animal and a SLAVE. If Africa DO NOT UNITE-The White man or woman would ALWAYS PLAY US LIKE A FOOL AND IDIOTS. No more EASTERN REGION OF GHANA President like ARROGANT AND UNGRATEFUL Akuffo Addo. Bryan Acheampong WOULD BE WORSE. He wanted to buy SNIT HOTELS-No CHANCE for GHANA-HE WILL MORTGAGE Ghana IN TOTAL-COLLATERAL RISK. NEVER EVER.
  Kweaku Kwarteng-TELL THE TRUTH AND BE DAMNED. BE PATRIOTIC- SPILL THE BEANS ON THE STEALING AND LOOTING BY THE NPP.
  NPP is in a state of Mental Health Psychosis- a mental state where an individual's perception of reality is significantly altered, leading to difficulty distinguishing between what is real and what is not. This can manifest as hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that aren't there) or delusions (false beliefs that are not based on reality). It's a set of symptoms that can occur in various mental health conditions, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder. .
  YOU BLOODY TANI BAWUMIA. AKUFFO ADDO FAILURE TO PUT THE NATIONAL INTEREST BEFORE HIS FAMILY WAS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT FACTORS THAT LED TO THE NPP HISTORICAL LOSS IN THE 2024 ELECTIONS. STEALING OF POOR GHANA PENSIONERS MONEY-DDEP
  AKUFFO ADDO WAS ARROGANT. HE FORGOT THAT IT WAS THE ELECTORATE WHO VOTED TO GIVE HIM THE POWER.
  
  AKUFFO ADDO STOLE GHANA MONEY £900 MILLION
  
  KEN OFORI ATTA STOLE GHANA MONEY £400 MILLION
  
  EDWARD AKUFFO ADDO STOLE GHANA MONEY £350 MILLION
  
  GABBY OTCHERE DARKO STOLE GHANA MONEY £250 MILLION
  
  NAPO STOLE GHANA MONEY £150 MILLION
  
  BAWUMIA STOLE GHANA MONEY £450 MILLION
  
  
  
  YOU BORROWED AND STOLE IT ALL. YOU BORROWED OVER $50 BILLION US DOLLARAHAVE THE NPP FORGOTTEN THE ECONOMIC HARDSHIPS THE NPP VISITED ON GHANAIAN PEOPLE? STEALING OF THE PENSIONERS MONEY, BAWUMIA FAILED ECONOMIC MESSIAH, AKUFFO ADDO REFUSING TO REMOVE HIS COUSIN-KEN OFORI ATTA-DESPITE CAUSING FINANCIAL LOSS TO THE STATE. NPP ARE DREAMERS-GHANA VOTERS ARE NOT FOOLS. REMOVE ALL THE NPP FAILED AND CORRUPT EXECUTIVES WHO ALLOWED TANI AKUFFO ADDO AND HIS FAMILY TO STEAL AND STEAL
  Remove Akyem Abuakwa STOOGE Liar Bawumia, The Loser. There should NOT be another Northerner as President because President Mahama has taken that SLOT. We should NOT be afraid of the Northerners-CALL A SPADE, A SPADE. The Northerners are OVER PAMPERED-NPP gets few votes from the North of Ghana and even Bawumia-who is a Northerner could NOT change it.
  The LIES that brought the LOSER DRIVERS MATE-BAWUMIA TO THE NPP FLAGBEARERSHIP WAS THAT-BECAUSE HE IS A NORTHERNER-IF HE STANDS WITH PRESIDENT MAHAMA- THE NORTHERN REGIONS OF GHANA WOULD BE DIVIDED BETWEEN BAWUMIA AND PRESIDENT MAHAMA. BUT THE NORTHERN REGIONS OF GHANA VOTED OVERWHELMINGLY FOR PRESIDENT MAHAMA. SO THE DOCTRINE OF BREAKING THE 8 YEARS WAS AN AKYEM ABUAKWA LIES AND TRICKS-THE ILLITERATE CHAIRMAN WONTUMI DID NOT SEE. ASHANTI REGION SHOULD REPLACE BCHAIRMAN WONTUMI BECAUSE YHE IS NOT A STRATEGIC THINKER. ASHANTI REGION SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE KINGMAKER OF THE NPP LEADER BECAUSE OF THE VOLUME OR NUMBER OF VOTES NPP RECEIVES IN THE ASHANTI REGION. NO REGION IN GHANA, GIVE THE NPP THE SAME NUMBER OF VOTES AS THE ASHANTI REGION DOES. SO THERE SHOULD BE WEIGHTED AVERAGE OF VOTES FOR EACH REGION AS PER THE TOTAL NUMBER OF VOTES NPP RECEIVES NATIONALLY.
  
  Factors that contributed to NPP's election loss are:
  1. Bad, cruel and reckless policies
  2. The inability of the NPP leadership to restrain the ' ka a nka bi syndrome of Akuffo Addo
  3. Ken Ofori Atta's OVER SIZED FINANCE MINISTRY WITH OVER REACHING POWERS TO STOP ANY VALUE FOR MONEY PROJECT EXCEPT-CREATE AND LOOT policies-
  4. The unrepentant branding of disgruntled members as traitors like ALAN KYEREMATEN
  5. The creation and the continuous existence of the Akyem/Kyebi mafia
  5. NPP was a galamseyers party and government
  6. Reckless borrowing
  7. The implementation of the DDEP-STEALING OF POOR GHANA PENSIONERS SAVINGS-VERY DISTATEFUL
  8. Divide and rule tactics by Akuffo Addo
  9. Christians ganged against a Muslim candidate
  10. NNP's betrayal of its grassroots people
  11. The " mass stealing syndrome" of the selected and protected elites
  12. The neglect of the Ashanti region for the Eastern region-NO PROJECT WAS COMPLETED BY TANI AKUFFO ADDO IN THE ASHANTI REGION-WHO VOTED SKIRT AND BLOUSE TO MAKE HIM PRESIDENT.
  13. The pomposity of Akuffo Addo RIDING IN EXPENSIVE PRIVATE JETS and his chosen and protected elites GOING TO EUROPE FOR SHOPPING IN THE PRESIDENTIAL JET
  14. Unassertive, weak and chop chop NPP leadership-THE STEALING BRIDGADE
  15. The Wontumi factor-ILLITERATE WONTUMI-HE IS NOT A STRATEGIC THINKER-like displaying GOLD BARS ON TV-Womtumi is an IDIOT-Ashantis REMOVE HIM.
  16. The imposition and protection of non performing MPs by Akuffo Addo and the elites of the party
  17. The " mentumi ne oyi ny3 adwuma mentality of Akuffo Addo
  18. The non existence of a fair internal grievance procedure or the hijacking of this machinery by Akuffo Addo
  19. The hijacking and the infiltration of non entities and square pegs in round holes in the economic management team of Akuffo Addo and his Akyem mafia
  20. The " merengue obiara na merete me ka" posture of Akufo Addo
  21. The money na talk syndrome of the party ( moneycracy)
  22. ÑPP use communicators who had fallen in favor with its grassroots
  23. Communicators could not defend the badly crafted and wickedly intended policies like the DDEP, E-Levy, Agyapa, etc
  24. The attempt to use of Covid and Russian- Ukraine war as a cover up for bad and wicked policies- KEN OFORI ATTA BUDGETS-DID NOT HAVE ANY CONTINGENCY MONEY, NO RISK ASSESSMENT WAS CARRIED OUT.
  25. Mass fraud and corruption by government people- e.g. EUGENE ARHIN, SIR JOHN, KWABENA ADU BOAHENE
  26.Dupping, fraudulent and stealing from proposed but non existed development projects
  27. Non performing oversized government, creating job for the boys.
  28. No value for money mentality
  29. The dollar which was allowed to break the bank. The Ghana cedi lost its value in 2022 under Ken Ofori Atta and the President refused to remove him despite 98 NPP MPs went to see him and he refused to meet them-DICTATORSHIP.
  30. Stagflation- high inflation matching stagnant economic growth and unemployment
  31. Breakdown of respect for traditional authorities and their people where TANI Akuffo Addo ordered Chiefs to stand when greeting him. What on earth is this liliput, short and ugly Akyem Abuakwa TANI come from?
  32. Loose talk by Akuffo Addo- eg, I will not develop the Kwabre community and that no one has lost his thumb and should vote against the party if he or she is dissatisfied. It is only a drug addict who will talk like this and expect his party to win election. He was let loose to speak irresponsibly by the party hierarchy
  26. Etc,etc, etc and ect
  
  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

  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:

  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

  A 6-bedroom house located at Patangbe, Ogbojo, near East Legon.
  
  A 4-bedroom house located in Mempeheusem, East Legon
  
  A 3-bedroom house on plot number TDA 4140 located in Mempehuesem, East Legon
  
  Another 3-bedroom house on plot number TDA 4140 located in Mempehuesem, East Legon
  
  A 4-bedroom house on plot number GA56838 located in East Legon and acquired on October 25, 2018

  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.

  WONTUMI IS A TRAITOR- WONTUMI SOLD US THE ASHANTIS TO AKUFFO ADDO FOR HIS OWN SELFISH ENDS. WONTUMI WAS SITTING IN THE FRONT ROW WITH AKUFFO ADDO-AKUFFO ADDO AND BAWUMIA-ENJOY IMMUNITY FROM PROSECUTION. WONTUMI-AKUFFO ADDO AND BAWUMIA USED US ASHANTIS FREE OF CHARGE BUT DID NOT COMPLETE ONE PROJECT FOR US ASHANTIS. WONTUMI-DO YOU NOW REALISE THAT YOU WERE A FOOL BEING USED BY AKUFFO ADDO AND BAWUMIA-WHO ENJOY IMMUNITY FROM PROSECUTION-A WORD TO THE WISE IS ENOUGH.
  Is the NPP Also claiming CREDIT for the current DUMSOR- which is happening because Akuffo Addo and Bawumia failed to pay the DEBTS-Arrears of Electricity POWER GENERATING COMPANIES AND GAS COMPANIES. Ghana owe NIGERIA £150 million for Gas supplied over the last 8 years that the NPP bought on Credit. Ghana is a FAILED STATE. Ghana defaulted on its international loan payments and interests-that was WHY KEN OFORI ATTA WENT TO THE IMF/World Bank as a Highly Indebted Poor Country-HIPC. We sad. NPP borrowed £50 billion and LOOTED, and LOOTED AMONGST THE FEW-Including Bawumia, Ken Ofori Atta, Edward Akuffo Addo, Gabby Octhere Darko, Akuffo Addo etc etc.
  The Cedi appreciation against the Dollar is simple. It is because of the LUNATIC TRADE TARIFFS POLICIES OF DONALD TRUMP. The USA Debt to GDP ratio is 98% and perceived to increase to 138% in 2030 at the rate the USA Government is borrowing to spend without having any DEFICIT REDUCTION STRATEGY IN PLACE. So the CREDIT RATING AGENCY-MOODY has joined the other Rating Agencies to REDUCE the USA credit rating from AAA to AA1a. So the USA dollar as a reserve currency status is NOT all that rosy. America is spending on OUR BACK. USA is now going to TAX anybody who send a remittance or money ABROAD or to their countries LIKE Ghana, Nigeria, Mexico, Brazil, India etc etc.
  NPP is in a state of Mental Health Psychosis- a mental state where an individual's perception of reality is significantly altered, leading to difficulty distinguishing between what is real and what is not. This can manifest as hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that aren't there) or delusions (false beliefs that are not based on reality). It's a set of symptoms that can occur in various mental health conditions, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder.
  
  YOU BLOODY TANI BAWUMIA. AKUFFO ADDO FAILURE TO PUT THE NATIONAL INTEREST BEFORE HIS FAMILY WAS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT FACTORS THAT LED TO THE NPP HISTORICAL LOSS IN THE 2024 ELECTIONS. STEALING OF POOR GHANA PENSIONERS MONEY-DDEP
  AKUFFO ADDO WAS ARROGANT. HE FORGOT THAT IT WAS THE ELECTORATE WHO VOTED TO GIVE HIM THE POWER.
  
  AKUFFO ADDO STOLE GHANA MONEY £900 MILLION
  
  KEN OFORI ATTA STOLE GHANA MONEY £400 MILLION
  
  EDWARD AKUFFO ADDO STOLE GHANA MONEY £350 MILLION
  
  GABBY OTCHERE DARKO STOLE GHANA MONEY £250 MILLION
  
  NAPO STOLE GHANA MONEY £150 MILLION
  
  BAWUMIA STOLE GHANA MONEY £450 MILLION
  
  
  
  YOU BORROWED AND STOLE IT ALL. YOU BORROWED OVER $50 BILLION US DOLLARAHAVE THE NPP FORGOTTEN THE ECONOMIC HARDSHIPS THE NPP VISITED ON GHANAIAN PEOPLE? STEALING OF THE PENSIONERS MONEY, BAWUMIA FAILED ECONOMIC MESSIAH, AKUFFO ADDO REFUSING TO REMOVE HIS COUSIN-KEN OFORI ATTA-DESPITE CAUSING FINANCIAL LOSS TO THE STATE. NPP ARE DREAMERS-GHANA VOTERS ARE NOT FOOLS. REMOVE ALL THE NPP FAILED AND CORRUPT EXECUTIVES WHO ALLOWED TANI AKUFFO ADDO AND HIS FAMILY TO STEAL AND STEAL
  Remove Akyem Abuakwa STOOGE Liar Bawumia, The Loser. There should NOT be another Northerner as President because President Mahama has taken that SLOT. We should NOT be afraid of the Northerners-CALL A SPADE, A SPADE. The Northerners are OVER PAMPERED-NPP gets few votes from the North of Ghana and even Bawumia-who is a Northerner could NOT change it.
  The LIES that brought the LOSER DRIVERS MATE-BAWUMIA TO THE NPP FLAGBEARERSHIP WAS THAT-BECAUSE HE IS A NORTHERNER-IF HE STANDS WITH PRESIDENT MAHAMA- THE NORTHERN REGIONS OF GHANA WOULD BE DIVIDED BETWEEN BAWUMIA AND PRESIDENT MAHAMA. BUT THE NORTHERN REGIONS OF GHANA VOTED OVERWHELMINGLY FOR PRESIDENT MAHAMA. SO THE DOCTRINE OF BREAKING THE 8 YEARS WAS AN AKYEM ABUAKWA LIES AND TRICKS-THE ILLITERATE CHAIRMAN WONTUMI DID NOT SEE. ASHANTI REGION SHOULD REPLACE BCHAIRMAN WONTUMI BECAUSE YHE IS NOT A STRATEGIC THINKER. ASHANTI REGION SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE KINGMAKER OF THE NPP LEADER BECAUSE OF THE VOLUME OR NUMBER OF VOTES NPP RECEIVES IN THE ASHANTI REGION. NO REGION IN GHANA, GIVE THE NPP THE SAME NUMBER OF VOTES AS THE ASHANTI REGION DOES. SO THERE SHOULD BE WEIGHTED AVERAGE OF VOTES FOR EACH REGION AS PER THE TOTAL NUMBER OF VOTES NPP RECEIVES NATIONALLY.
  
  Factors that contributed to NPP's election loss are:
  1. Bad, cruel and reckless policies
  2. The inability of the NPP leadership to restrain the ' ka a nka bi syndrome of Akuffo Addo
  3. Ken Ofori Atta's OVER SIZED FINANCE MINISTRY WITH OVER REACHING POWERS TO STOP ANY VALUE FOR MONEY PROJECT EXCEPT-CREATE AND LOOT policies-
  4. The unrepentant branding of disgruntled members as traitors like ALAN KYEREMATEN
  5. The creation and the continuous existence of the Akyem/Kyebi mafia
  5. NPP was a galamseyers party and government
  6. Reckless borrowing
  7. The implementation of the DDEP-STEALING OF POOR GHANA PENSIONERS SAVINGS-VERY DISTATEFUL
  8. Divide and rule tactics by Akuffo Addo
  9. Christians ganged against a Muslim candidate
  10. NNP's betrayal of its grassroots people
  11. The " mass stealing syndrome" of the selected and protected elites
  12. The neglect of the Ashanti region for the Eastern region-NO PROJECT WAS COMPLETED BY TANI AKUFFO ADDO IN THE ASHANTI REGION-WHO VOTED SKIRT AND BLOUSE TO MAKE HIM PRESIDENT.
  13. The pomposity of Akuffo Addo RIDING IN EXPENSIVE PRIVATE JETS and his chosen and protected elites GOING TO EUROPE FOR SHOPPING IN THE PRESIDENTIAL JET
  14. Unassertive, weak and chop chop NPP leadership-THE STEALING BRIDGADE
  15. The Wontumi factor-ILLITERATE WONTUMI-HE IS NOT A STRATEGIC THINKER-like displaying GOLD BARS ON TV-Womtumi is an IDIOT-Ashantis REMOVE HIM.
  16. The imposition and protection of non performing MPs by Akuffo Addo and the elites of the party
  17. The " mentumi ne oyi ny3 adwuma mentality of Akuffo Addo
  18. The non existence of a fair internal grievance procedure or the hijacking of this machinery by Akuffo Addo
  19. The hijacking and the infiltration of non entities and square pegs in round holes in the economic management team of Akuffo Addo and his Akyem mafia
  20. The " merengue obiara na merete me ka" posture of Akufo Addo
  21. The money na talk syndrome of the party ( moneycracy)
  22. ÑPP use communicators who had fallen in favor with its grassroots
  23. Communicators could not defend the badly crafted and wickedly intended policies like the DDEP, E-Levy, Agyapa, etc
  24. The attempt to use of Covid and Russian- Ukraine war as a cover up for bad and wicked policies- KEN OFORI ATTA BUDGETS-DID NOT HAVE ANY CONTINGENCY MONEY, NO RISK ASSESSMENT WAS CARRIED OUT.
  25. Mass fraud and corruption by government people- e.g. EUGENE ARHIN, SIR JOHN, KWABENA ADU BOAHENE
  26.Dupping, fraudulent and stealing from proposed but non existed development projects
  27. Non performing oversized government, creating job for the boys.
  28. No value for money mentality
  29. The dollar which was allowed to break the bank. The Ghana cedi lost its value in 2022 under Ken Ofori Atta and the President refused to remove him despite 98 NPP MPs went to see him and he refused to meet them-DICTATORSHIP.
  30. Stagflation- high inflation matching stagnant economic growth and unemployment
  31. Breakdown of respect for traditional authorities and their people where TANI Akuffo Addo ordered Chiefs to stand when greeting him. What on earth is this liliput, short and ugly Akyem Abuakwa TANI come from?
  32. Loose talk by Akuffo Addo- eg, I will not develop the Kwabre community and that no one has lost his thumb and should vote against the party if he or she is dissatisfied. It is only a drug addict who will talk like this and expect his party to win election. He was let loose to speak irresponsibly by the party hierarchy
  26. Etc,etc, etc and ect
  
  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.

  The best hypocrisy of the minority in parliament was what we saw yesterday.
  Above all is their foolishness and stupidity under the influence of Afenyo Markin.
  These are the people claiming to be of rule of law after they have brought untold hardships on the nation.
  As for BAWULIAR, he is a COMODIAN and a LIAR.

  Do You remember Fred AGBESI WAYOME's bail amount was Ghc54m. And no one made noise on it. That time Ghc54m was equivalent to over Ghc100m now using the then Dollar rate.

  Let me make this observations. Dr Bawumia you are a hypocrite, because you are dishonest. You don’t get to rewrite history when the cameras are on.

  CHAIRMAN WONTUMI IS FOLLOWING EXACTLY IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF AKUFO-ADDO WHO LOOTED THE FRAUDULENT NATIONAL CATHEDRAL PROJECT AND COVID-19 FUNDS AMONG MANY OTHERS, AND STILL WALKING FREE. KENNEDY AGYAPONG LOOTED KUFUOR'S STREET LIGHTING AND COCOBOD PROJECTS FUNDS AMONG MANY OTHERS. OFORI-ATTA ENRICHED HIMSELF WITH HIS SHARE OF GHANA'S SOVEREIGN LOANS FROM THE IMF/WORLD BANK, SO THE POORER GHANA BECAME, THE RICHER OFORI-ATTA'S BANK GOT. THE LIST GOES ON AND ON.
  
  THESE GHANAIAN POLITICIANS ARE DEVILS AND VERY CALLOUS.
  
  LOOK AT HOW THE VAST MAJORITY OF GHANAIANS ARE SUFFERING OF DEPRIVATION OF THE VERY BASICS OF DECENT STANDARDS OF LIVING, WITH HOSPITALS, SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES IN GHANA ALL WOEFULLY UNDER-RESOURCED AND STARVED OF GOVERNMENT FUNDING, WHILE GHANAIAN CHILDREN GO TO SCHOOL UNDER TREES AND IN DILAPIDATED STRUCTURES, AND BEING TAUGHT SEMI-LITERATE TEACHERS, ETC. MOTHERS DELIVERING THEIR BABIES ON INFECTIOUS HOSPITAL FLOORS FOR LACK OF BED SPACES ON THE HOSPITALS WARDS. FOOD, UTILITIES TARIFFS AND FUEL PRICES SKYROCKETING EVERY DAY WHILE GHANA'S THIEVING POLITICIANS GET ALL OF THOSE INCLUDING HOUSING FOR FREE, ETC.
  
  GHANAIANS, PARTICULARLY TRIBALISTIC EFUOM AKANS AND OTHERS, MUST WAKE UP AND FORGET ABOUT TRIBAL POLITICS WHEN CASTING THEIR BALLOTS.
  
  BANKRUPT GHANA IS SINKING FASTER THAN WE REALIZE.
