    In my opinion, what the CJ said is the whole truth. However, his sensitive position doesn't permit him to make those pronouncements publicly.

  • Kobby 10 hours ago

    On what basis did the CJ make those comments? Did he ever visit those institutions in the NPP era to see how things were being done? Just wondering if this amounts to "stated misbehaviour"...

    Sometimes, you respect someone until the person speaks. There's wisdom in silence. Wisdom is not about how old one is. With his age and position, he could have been forgiven if he was a trotro mate.
