  The CPP Era (Nkrumah, 1957–1966):
  
  Kwame Nkrumah, through the CPP, championed independence, pan-Africanism, and major development projects.
  
  But the UP (Danquah-Busia tradition) opposed many of his policies.
  
  The 1966 coup, supported by sections of the military and external forces, ended his vision prematurely.
  
  
  
  2. The Rawlings/NDC Era (1981–2000, later 2009–2016):
  
  Jerry Rawlings rose first through military intervention, then transitioned into democracy, founding the NDC, which carried elements of Nkrumah’s socialist vision.
  
  The NDC positioned itself as the inheritor of CPP’s legacy.
  
  
  
  3. The UP/NPP Tradition (Busia, Kufuor, Akufo-Addo):
  
  Rooted in the Danquah-Busia political tradition, the NPP sees itself as liberal-democratic, market-oriented, and the opposite of Nkrumahist socialism.
  
  Whenever in power, the NPP reframes or abandons NDC-led projects.
  
  
  
  4. The Cycle:
  
  Each party spends years undoing the other’s work instead of building on it.
  
  This creates developmental instability — a kind of “reset button” every 8 years.
  
  
  
  
  The Big Question:
  
  > Should Ghana “hand over” to the Danquah tradition (NPP) again after NDC has reset?
  
  
  
  That’s really a question of trust and lessons learned:
  
  If history is “repeating,” then Ghana risks another cycle of dismantling and rebuilding.
  
  If Ghanaians want continuity and stability, they might prefer sticking with one tradition long enough for policies to mature.
  
  But if the ruling party becomes complacent or corrupt, voters often swing to the opposition as a form of checks and balances.
  
  
  The deeper issue may not just be who governs (NDC or NPP), but whether Ghana can break the cycle by demanding:
  
  National development consensus (projects that no party destroys just because it’s “not theirs”).
  
  Accountability without vendetta (holding governments responsible, but not erasing progress).
  
  A long-term vision beyond 8-year cycles.
  
  
  So the real challenge is: Will Ghanaians continue the cycle of reversal, or demand collaboration across traditions for the sake of the nation’s future?

  Those two guys should not be imprisoned. They should be made to do serious Community Service for two months. Yes, let them start at 8:00AM and close at 5:00PM with an hour break for lunch. Yes, that should be well supervised. Let them clean all day. If they are imprisoned, very hard working Ghanaians will be working to feed them. This is a Misdemeanor so they can be punished by working for the community just that such work should be in the town where people can see them and report to the Court system and the Police Authorities how they are working and what is going on.

  We jail petty thieves but stay silent when Otabil, Airbus, Duncan Williams, Charles Bissue, Cecelia Dapaa, the Double Salary gang, Buck Tooth foreign rep, John Ford, and Dwarf Addo — accused of far bigger crimes — walk free. Plea bargaining was made for the powerful, while the weak rot in jail. Selective justice is no justice.

  Our jails should be reserved for criminals with serious offenses since our jails are overcrowded with prisoners sleeping on the floors and with poor feeding. These two individuals should have been sentenced to community services where they are made to clean our gutters or sewage systems for a month under supervision of the agencies they may be assigned to . If they failed to attend to their community service, then they can serve a jail time . Ghana needs to modify their penal system. It is not every crime and conviction that should attract jail time.

  We hear our prisons are over crowded. Looking at the guys in the picture, 3 days community cleaning would be enough. I went to Obuasi recently and saw a ZOOMLION tattered container carrying refuse to the dump site. The rubbishes were dropping on the street because of the tattered container, what do you do to ZOOMLION?

  Pollution caused by refuse dump is not as dangerous as open burning of refuse. Can we jail reckless burning of refuse too? Borla smoke is toxic!
