@Opoku, yes, the court would have to pronounce him guilty or otherwise, but nobody is accusing him; it is the LAW that has accused him and the taxpayer has every right to comment on it. Stop the stupidity.

What does render your heart and not your garments mean?
Rend your heart and not your garments” (Joel 2:12-13). In Bible days, people expressed sorrow by tearing (rending) their clothes. Everyone who saw them knew they were grieving. If someone wanted to demonstrate their repentance and sorrow over their sin, they would publicly tear their clothes.
I wonder sometimes if Christians, myself included, take our sin too lightly. Do we make excuses for our bad behavior, or, worse yet, fail to deal with it at all? When we sin, do we treat our offenses more casually than we should, muttering a token, “Sorry,” to the sky, when true confession and repentance is needed? Do we eagerly wrap ourselves in God’s blanket of forgiveness and then drag it through the mud with our sinful actions?
But what God expects from humans is ...

I have to start by acknowledging that I am an NPP supporter. I believe in their property owning and development in freedom ideology. I am not sure ignorant sycophant. Being a party supporter is not like being born into a tribe which cannot be changed.
The Development in Freedom ideology doesn’t include supporting or defending wrongdoing. What Akuffo Addo and many of his appointees his appointees did has been a huge disgrace to the party and brought the noble party disrepute. This appointee and his wife do the unthinkable. That appointee and her cronies steal colossal amounts which defy explanation. Why, oh! why?
We all saw how chairman Boasiako developed wings like a bat and almost flew off!
The party should have made him to resign after the 2020 elections. He campaigned on Agenda 47/47, swearing to win all Ashanti Region seats. He failed to do so and should have resigned. He is one of the reasons why NPP voters stayed away from the polls in 2024. The NPP should get him out. If he stays on, those who stayed away from the polls in 2024 might take the next step and vote for the NDC come 2028.
So, what is the self proclaimed prophet or seraphim or cherubim going to do for him? Why does he need prayers? Has Wontumi forgotten that Akan saying that asks “wo ye ade papas, enka woanim aante”? If he had done the right thing, won’t he have been all smiles by now?
What is indefensible is indefensible!
We need good men and women to lead the party, and that automatically rules out the likes of Boasiako and his cronies!
