Ghana`s politicians can not think of future. It is very unfortunate that, over 500 parliamentarians are in the parliament and can not think of Ghana`s future other than arguing about a hopeless politician who died some decades ago. The country and the people are really in serious lack of brain people. Because they can not think or they do not even know what to think about, they kept on buying time for next election. I wish they will soon chabge them next time.

Master, thank you for your comments. exactly what I was about to comments. In Ghana, I tell you the only man who used his BRAIN to THINK for the good work for Ghana was Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, and while thinking to develop the country J.B Danquah and his co-horts were also planning to assassinate him, they continue doing that untill Nkrumah was overthrown hence our problem now, because right now we don´t have people in Ghana who THINK, or they don´t know how to start thinking. You see the problems the country is encountering, all the present political parties worship their parties instead of Ghana FIRST.

NDC PROPAGANDA MACHINE no matter what you do the people are slowly waking up to the reality that is ndc . ndc is a mafia criminal organization with extremely malicious intent which thrives on fueling conflicts between brothers while through the back door looting anything of value until one day the country becomes a barren desert with a poisonous toxic environment. We know your tactics well anytime an Akan stands up or a righteous methodist priest cries foul you set about destroying their reputations or pinning all kinds of lies so they are practically lynched in broad day light. the govt acts like its a copy from north korea led by mad men with hearts of stone . waa look at your ministers mike hammah / hannah tetteh for example selling out our future in the our own ports that they did not build and latter on saddling us with 200,000 chinese galamsay , these are your ministers of transport , lands , industry and foreign affairs , we are doomed for if just these 2 toxic individuals can do this imagine what the rest are doing . ndc has selected the worst characters backed by the hegemony of the ayigbe and the tribalism from the north . these worthless people who cant even put together music or a song that we can enjoy because their hearts are consumed with evil hatred for the light of the Akan. God did not even give them better music which is free why should we give them anything?these dregs of the toilet refuse to see the evil the ndc are securing for their own people . instead of creating sustainable industries such as food processing and organizing cash crops just as the cocoa was done , cotton processing all the way to fashion designing and branding which would give their people millions of jobs the rather award bogus senseless contracts and phantom projects for outrageous kickbacks. at any moment there are over 500 factories, processing plants and institutions that can be set up in the volta and and 3 northern regions but that would mean over 10,000 in Akan areas due to the higher potential there so because of skinpain they chose to do nothing . they say our women are ugly apes but they cant help dreaming about their beauty as when you look at their women one sees their beady rats eye look, cruelty and thieving desires . yes we are not the same and do not have values that are in anyway compatible as we live in different dimensions . when the ec calls for the referendum i hope the question is put so we ask our people do we really want to stay together or to each his own . personally i do not believe they will ever change rather things can only get worse and end up in a war . long live the republic of Akan

Nkrumah was killing all political opponents in Nsawam Prison while preaching freedom for Africa and gave 10 million each to the Presidents of Mali and Guinea's Sekou Toure as bribes to make him the President of Africa for life while Ghanaians wallowed in poverty, squalor and slums.

He made himself President for life without a Vice President and introduced one-party state into Africa. Boye Doe was only 15 when Nkrumah imprisoned himfor no reason. He forced children to lear Nkrumaism as a religion and poluted the minds of kids through the satanic Young Pioneers

You are a hopeless case of a 'broken' slave. 'Broken' slaves are slaves who were given such extreme punishment of violent torture that subsequently, they would kiss the very floor upon which their slave-masters walked on.

Even all the insults and lies that their slave-masters told them about Africa and Africans, were instantly accepted as facts by these broken slaves and preached to other slaves.

The crimes you have ascribed to Kwame Nkrumah in your first paragraph is a clear example of what I am referring to above. Such childish and asinine accusations against Kwame Nkrumah are some of those which the American CIA wrote out for the dummies who staged the 1966 coup to read out to the Ghanaian public. And honestly, I thought Ghanaians would have by now been the wiser and looked back on these sad and self-defeating events with shame or penitence.

Ezuale is one such victim. He badly needs help. he is suffering from the syndrome of ego dysfunction. He is a blackman who thinks like an imperialist slave trader in 21st century Africa.

Now what is this ludicrous obsession about Nkrumah not having a Vice President? Is there a law anywhere that says that all countries should have Vice Presidents? Should that be the case, then who is the Vice Queen of the Queen of England who has ruled that country as head of state for over 60 years? Such awkward fantasies emanating from the minds of simple illiterates must stop. Such opinions which are on the world-wide internet plays into the racist European prejudiced minds that Africans are inferior human beings.

The outdated expression of dislike for the alternative of a one-party state when the multi-party system has clearly not worked for the past 60 years and has in fact polarized this country into a condition of permanent confrontational standstill - in other words a political coma, can only come from the mind of an unliberated slave. As the saying goes, "it is only a fool who will not learn from his mistakes" and adapt other more viable alternatives which have put others far in advance of those who continue to practice that decadent and unprogressive multi-party system.

At the last estimated count, our political parties spent as much as almost $2 billion in the last elections. That is as much as this country needs to get off the life support system for survival. Can this make sense to anybody in a developing country which cannot provide common potable water to most of its citizens?

Who the hell is Boye-Doe? He is obviously undisciplined nonentities who at the time refused to join the Young Pioneers which had been introduced by Kwame Nkrumah as an African or Ghanaian version of the Queens Boys Scouts which had been forced upon us for over a century. It is people like Boye-Doe who have caused the current situation where today our children have been abandoned to the pastimes of sex, crime and selling petty items in the streets to make paltry living.

As I have stated above, you Ezuale are just a broken unrepentant slave who cannot begin to understand why any African should want to independently do anything for himself and in any other way other than what has been instructed by your slave-masters. Some of us have evolved from that state of primitive pitiable subservience. We want to justify that we are also created in equal measure in the image of God.

Master THANK you, of course in capital letters. You see, most of, we Ghanaians are more primitive and indoctrinated brainwashed by our ancestors for centuries, and no matter what we read and learn we still never accept the FACT, we still not want to accept the TRUTH, but continueing believing what our ancestors or parents told. That is the story about Mate meho/UP, children and grandchildren today. They still don´t want believe the FACT. I will tell you a story, as far back as in 1964, I was then 14 years old, my Aunt whom I was staying with during my school days told us one evening that Nkrumah has build a big house and he will fill it with food and we will all queue to have food. It didn´t bothered me, untill I grown up to realized that it was silos Nkrumah was building to preserve food as that time State farms was in operation, all these propaganda were being preached by the UP terrorist organisations just to destroy the credibility of Nkrumah and his Government. But for the children and grandchildren of Mate meho/UP, they will always refuse to read between the lines, find the facts, NO. When Nkrumah was negotiating the building of Akosombo Dam the UP/ MPs whom Nkrumah had defeated in the elections, the Volta River Project is dangerous just another pyscho of British exploitation of the country, that Nkrumah was dangering and slaving the country in a powerful interest beyond his control. The same thing happend with the following projects, Cape coast University, Ghana Airways, Ghana Black Star Shipping Lines, Tema Motoway, Tema Oil Refinrey, Tema Harbour and many many factories Nkrumah built. Today, most of these projects are not existing, apart from the twisting Akosombo Dam.

Here is what Nkrumah was good for: Restored the dignity of black people everywhere, HELPED Guinea, because the french had stripped them dry after refusing to kowtow to a pseudo independence.

Now in conjecture, please browse through these Osagyefo accomplishments in just nine years. Nkrumah created Ghana Commercial bank, Ghana National Trading Company, Tema Harbor and dry docks, Tema Township, Ghana Nautical College, Ghana Navy, Blackstar Line, Ghana Airways, Kwabenya Nuclear Energy, Sunyani/Tamale Airports, Over 600 secondary Schools all with housing and boarding, Two world class universities;UST/UCC, Nsawam Cannery, Aboso Glass Factory, Tema Valco, Tema Steel works, Akasanoma/Sanyo Radio/Ghana Electronics, The Ghana Standards Board, Institute for scientific Research Accra, Kumasi Central Hospital, Effia Nkwanta Regional Hospital, Bonsa Rubber estate/Firestone Tyre Factory, Esiama oil Mills, Coconut Fibre Factory Half Assini, Kumasi Jute Factory, Bamboo Factory Axim, Pioneer Tobacco Company, Akosombo Dam, Volta Lake, Adomi Bridge, GSTS Takoradi, Pioneer Biscuit Kumasi, Kade Match Factory, Tema Motorway, Accra International Airport, Nyaneba Estates, Cantonments Accra, Kanneshie Estates, Ambassador Hotel, City Hotel Kumasi, Meridian Hotel, Job 600 Accra, Brought Tv to Ghana, Free AND COMPULSORY education, Extended Ghana Railways to Awaso, Nyinahin, the Central Railroad line, Accra Trade Fair, etc. In comparison.

Kufuor in 8yrs, bought a hotel for himself, a shopping mall and stole available government lands/property i Kumasi. Afrifa put Boye Moses a civil servant in a steel cage and paraded him around like an animal. Busia fired over 200 workers for no apparent reason etc. Which one do you prefer, Nkrumah or the thieves and their perverted idiocy?

Whoever you are may the devil take hold of you and deliver you into the deepest hell of perdition for daring to defame Nkrumah. Danquah deserved every bit of what he got.

As for Hon. Mortala, he was re-stating a historical fact that when Prof Kofi Abrefa Busia became Prime Minister of Ghana, J.B.

1. 1956, the CPP was outlawed (illegally) in Asante and Abuakwa headed by the Asantehene and Okyehene respectively. Women including the sister of Krobo Edusei were slaughtered for being members of the CPP.
2. In 1958, there was a plot to assassinate Nkrumah at the airport and then overthrow the CPP government as Nkrumah was about to leave for a state visit to India. The plot was discovered and the plotters were arrested (Forward Ever, 1977).
3. On July 7, 1961, two bombs exploded in Accra, one wrecking Nkrumah’s statue in front of the Parliament House (McFarland & Owusu-Ansah).
4. In September 1961, there was a conspiracy among the senior Ghanaian military officers, but the plot collapsed because of the death of the chief conspirator Brigadier General Joseph E. Michel in an airplane crash (Mahoney, 1983).
5. On August 1, 1962, as Nkrumah was returning from a state visit to Upper Volta (now Burkina Faso), and had gotten out of his car to speak to the school children in the crowd that had gathered to greet him at Kulungungu, a bomb contained in a bouquet carried to him by a schoolgirl, exploded; it killed several school children and injured many others. The victim’s bodies bled from cuts caused by the splinters from the bomb (Kanu 1982; Tetteh, 1999). Nkrumah sustained a serious injury but he refused to have any device to deaden his pain while the operation went on.
6. On September 9, 1962, another bomb exploded near the Flagstaff House, where the Ghana Young Pioneers Orchestra Band was entertaining the audience to modern Ghanaian Music. The explosion killed one person and injured many others (Tetteh).
7. On September 18, 1962, two bombs exploded in Accra killing and injuring many people. One of these bomb blasts occurred in Lucas House in Accra, where nine children fell dead on the spot with their intestines gushed out of their bodies (Tetteh).
8. On September 20, 1962, two bombs exploded in Accra, killing and injuring several people (McFarland & Owusu-Ansah).
9. On September 22, 1962, there was another bomb explosion in Accra (McFarland & Owusu-Ansah; Tetteh).
10. On January 11, 1963, another bomb exploded at a CPP rally at the Accra Sports Stadium shortly after Nkrumah had left the scene. This explosion killed over twenty people and more than four hundred people were injured; among the victims were children of the Young Pioneer movement (McFarland & Owusu-Ansah).
11. January 1, 1964, a police officer, Seth Ametewe, was posted on guard duty at the Flagstaff House to assassinate Nkrumah. His five shots missed Nkrumah, but succeeded in killing his personal security officer, Sgt. Salifu Dagarti.

When Busia was an adviser to the NLC military junta he ordered some Ghanaians to be monkey chained and put in a cell with water up to their chin. Danquah was not sentenced to death at the Nsawam Maximum Security Prison so how come that someone is saying that he was chained. When will be UP people stop telling lies. When PP came to power in 1969 it dismissed 516 Ewhes from state employment, not one person. It seems that NPP want to tell us that apart from them members of other parties are not beings.
NPP members should visit Guantonamo and see which people are there, if they have been sentenced or not. It means that even in the U.S. and her NATO member countries a person could be chained depending on the charges brought against him.

Really there is nothing we can do about Nkrumah's time. If Ghanaians did not overthrow him, the country would have been like Dubai. He had a vision but instead of Ghanaians supporting him they found reasons to overthrow him. We can choose to move ahead or get stuck over what nobody can change. Lessons we should learn. 1. The country does not belong to any political party.
2. If all political parties help the current government the country will be a better place.
3. Mixing dictatorship in families, communities where the chiefs and queen mothers rule and hold the land and wealth of the communities with the democratic government is very challenging.
4. Until Ghanaians develop their own form of government( a blend of capitalism and benevolent dictatorship), it will take another 400 years. UAE became economic power only after the 7 states united and decided to have Rulers and free market.

What are you doing now to help the current government improve the economy? Ghana will be a better place if we all pull our efforts together after elections to help the current government. Ghanaians are fed up with fighting between NPP and NDC. The country does not belong to any party. The only way Ghana can move ahead is to look beyond party allegiance. The democratic advanced economies we are trying to copy don't behave the way Ghanaians are so focused on political parties. Learning from UAE, they don't have democracy but they do have benevolent dictatorship that is helping them to develop. They plan 10-20 years ahead and nobody will come to power in 4 years and throw away all the plans. Working together to come up with 10-20 year plan that no party can change might work for Ghana.

"Dr Kennedy says while Mr Murtala Muhammed deserved a punch in the face for suggesting that Dr Danquah died of natural causes, Mr Bagbin deserved commendation or his maturity."

This Kennedy chap is a typical terrorist of the Busia-Danquah strain. They are untruthful, intolerant and extremely violent. There is no other way to manage them other than by applying extreme measures such the PDA. If the law worked in this country, Arthur Kennedy would have seen himself in the grips of the law for publicly issuing threats of intended violence against another person.

As for Danquah I will not shed a single tear nor waste much of my time or internet credit to discuss him. Whether he died as a result of imprisonment or his chronic asthma, I am happy that God gave him back,in good time, to the devil who begat him.

At least he Danquah died early and was relieved of the hardship, misery and pains which his evil colleagues and puppets of imperialist manipulation have since inflicted upon the crestfallen and once proud people of this country.

We are the living testimonies of the hell that followed the extraordinary achievements that Kwame Nkrumah bequeathed to this country. It is our lives that have been irreversibly messed up. At least as for Danquah he still has a few fools and idiots who find sufficient cause and reason to idolize him to attract the favor of their imperialist masters.

Danquah is a non-event, a nonentity and at most a foot-note where the immortal, the eternal and the indomitable achievements, image and name of Kwame Nkrumah is mentioned.

As for the PDA, it was practiced on the vulnerable and defenseless people of Africa by the colonial 'masters' of this Kennedy guy, for over 400 years before Nkrumah stopped them in 1957. Those minions and house-niggers like Danquah who thought that we did not deserve independence from centuries of human rights abuses were simply made to get a taste of what it was like to continue living under colonial conditions.

Over 60 years after the cowardly overthrow of Dr. kwame Nkrumah, the natural allies and slave-masters of the Busia-Danquah clique, that is those including the US, Britain, France, who incidentally, also committed the genocide of slavery and colonization ahainst us, continue to apply a globalized and worse form of the PDA that includes a shoot to kill on sight policy that has exterminated many uncountable human lives. I have not heard this Arthur Kennedy guy or any other member of his gang of unliberated slaves condemning and demonizing their slave masters for out-doing Kwame Nkrumahs PDA a thousand-fold. Now the question is why?

Dr. Kennedy has clearly shown he is a diehard hypocrite of the tribal kind. Where was Dr. Authur Kennedy when Ghanaians were being maimed and killed by the activities of the Daquah-Busia UGCC? In an ideal world those of you who pretend there is any truth in equating wisdom to classroom earned degrees will also know that it is your fallacies and falsehoods infused with unproven tribal superiority that has retarded development and growth in Ghana.
Dr. Authur Kennedy should stand up and state where and when J.B.Danquah, Kofi Abrefa Busiah and or anyone of the leadership in the UGCC did tell its members and faceless supporters unequivocally never to use violence as a means to achieve their political goals in Ghana? There are wise people without and without classroom earned credentials like Dr. Martin Luther King, Mahatma Ghandi and others who used non violent means to achieve meaningful and desirable results than what the UGCC under J.B. Danquah, Busia and or Dr. Authur Kennedy collectively can ever hope. Yes even J.B. Danquah did not have to die in his struggle for what he saw as an ideal for Ghana but there are others whose lives were cut short tragically at the hands of the UGCC. They may be faceless by the UGCC standard but humans Dr. Arthur Kennedy and they deserved better from even your kind of hypocrites. You and the other clowns in Ghana’s parliament having a field day with J.B.Danquah may want to do the right thing humans do, that is if you have a moral compass, to call out the names of those killed and damaged by the UGCC and Nkrumah’s CPP while you are at it.
Why is J.B. Danquah’s death a discussion in parliament? Was he a member of parliament or members of any administration? What you and your cohorts continuously do is turn Ghana’s parliament into a stage for tribal display of phony manhood while the shameless women within your midst cheer from their seats and markets. If you and the other fools want to discuss wrongs in Ghana let us visit each one of the members of parliament now and then and ask you fools currently in parliament to explain if any death as a result of hardship in Ghana has been worth it?

It is a fact that, our prison conditions are not good. Once you are sentenced to a fairly long prison term, it is highly probable that you will die in prison.
What has even aggravated our poor prison conditions is the wrong mentality society has about prisoners. Our mentality is that, even persons in freedom are suffering so prisoners who are criminals should even suffer the more. Society does not see the reason why prisoners can have good meals, sleep soundly and have ready access to medical care. Hence those in charge of prisoners make life unbearable for them by denying them even their few privileges and exposing them to mosquitoes and bed bugs. We deliberately fashion our prison conditions to kill - this is bad.
It is time we changed that mentality and backed it with real action.

There are many forgotten survivors of the bombing campaign of the Danquah-Busia forces.

Let, Arthur Kennedy find it in his heart to help Madam Elizabeth Asantewaa - a young schoolgirl in 1962 who lost a leg in the bomb blast perpetrated by Danquah-Busia terrorists. Now in her late fifties and without any state help whatsoever like many other surviving victims.

For the record, 2 people admitted responsibility for the part in the crime, R.B Otchere, a UP member of parliament and Yaw Manu, a UP activist. The Kulungugu bomb attack was planned principally from Togo by the Lome-based terror group led by Obetsebi Lamptey, with financing from Busia who had received moneys from foreign sources. Danquah was involved in the overall national terror campaign. He was present when the Ga separatist-terrorist group, the Ga Adangbe Shifomo Kpee, took a sacred oath to fight all "foreigners" in Accra with the ritual slaughtering of a ram. Danquah was also involved in the support of striking workers in Takoradi and attended coordinating meetings with two of the organizers of the strike who were also UP members.

Your comment about the Kulungugu bombing has some questions to be answered. 1. Who prepared the bomb to be given to the president and who made the presentation? 2. If it the opposition who prepare the flower and made the presentation, where were those who were close to the president? 3. If Nkrumah's men allowed the opposition to get so close to the president and in an attempt to assassinate him, why do you blame the opposition but not the president's close associates? If Nkrumah's security compromised his security, who should be held responsible?

We should put aside what had been the acceptable norm and think deep by asking some commonsensical questions as would have been done today if something like that occurs.

If you still believe the hype in those days, let me ask you this. Imagine Mahama is going to attend a meeting with some chiefs somewhere. Why do you think NDC will allow NPP functionaries to go and prepared where Mahama will sit and also made some presentation to him. Let's face fact and be realistic? This analogy will never happened in Ghana so, if something happens to Mahama, why should the opposition be blamed? It is similar to the Kulungugu bombing but as Ghanaians who hate to accept the truth, we still believe that nonsense and lies which had been handed down to us. Nkrumah's own people were against him and try to kill him but the opposition were the one who were blamed.

Had Kwame Nkrumah allowed the law to take its full course, we would not have had all sorts of terrorist collaborators and their mentally retarded minions making a case for this common traitor. Even the Bible warns us about such characters in the case of Judas Iscariot.

All of you guys who are spewing so much hatred, ignorance and negativity about this honorable son of Ghana, one of the most respectable, matured and intelligent brains that God ever blessed Ghana to have, all of you, must be ashamed of yourselves!! You must be talking from either sheer ignorance and/or blatant stupidity, or as usual, from your political immaturity and backwardness, and your thwarted tribal-hateful minds. Did any of you lived at the time to actually know what Nkrumah did politically in Ghana at that time, or what JB actually did to warrant or deserve being thrown into jail and being so cold-bloodedly murdered in this cruel manner in prison, other than his love for Ghana which caused him to stand so bravely, alone, to fight for true democracy against this dictator, Kwame Nkrumah, of whose type Ghana has never witnessed again? Ghana has never seen the types of Kwame Nkrumah again, no, not yet! Compared to Rawlings, Rawlings could be said to be a saint!! JB died so Ghana would be truly free; that Ghanaians would learn. Unfortunately, Ghanaians did not learn anything from the incidents of the Nkrumah era. Others like JB also suffered in like manner - men like Obetsebi Lamptey being whisked away from his death-bed in his farm-village near Obawale, and buried while still alive (May he rest in peace!!) and many, many others at the hands of the murderer and power-drunk dictator, Kwame Nkrumah. He and all his types will rut in hell for all eternity!!

The Danquah-Busia tradition love to point to the US as the standard bearer of democracy and the rule of law. Today they are talking of how Dr. J.B. Danquah was imprisoned without trial.

Since the September 11 terrorist attack in the US, Congress passed the Patriot Act and people have been imprisoned under this law.

Where is Danquah-Busia tradition? They have kept mute about the US Patriot Act and what US is using it for at GITMO.

It was this kind of terrorist situation by the Mate Mahu murderers group that Nkrumah's government faced that brought about PDA.

NPP will remain in opposition for a long time because of their shenanigans and utterly stupidity. I have never seen or heard of a very backwards cows like these NPP leaders. I will give your monkey ass $1.00 just to punch any northerner you meet in Accra. Short people with big mouths always making obligatory remarks particularly this monkey ass drug dealer. This short ugly bigot and rodent will never seems to learn under such extenuating circumstances when its monkey ass was dragged to court for such calculative free mouth talk. You have always being a provokingly SOB in Ghana politics. Your predaciousness and disorderly conduct had gotten to its zenith and don,t think your monkey ass will not go to Nsawam just like Danquah did.

Prof. Akosah is just being mischievous,for his father was the DCE at Asante Mampong,and enjoyed free government scholarship during CPP regime. Such a person would definitely say nothing good about JB Danqua's detention.

J.B Danquah never threw any bomb. All that had been said about this noble son, was a lie. The only bomb that nearly killed Nkrumah was the one at Kulungugu and the opposition at that time had no hands in it. Opposition members arrested at that time were coerced to accept it.

Commonsense should tell us that the flower containing the bomb was not made by the opposition and the presentation as well. Somebody should came and challenge me on this. No insults but we should open our minds with deep thinking about how the whole scenario occurred.

Nkrumah hate JB to the extent that the only option left for him is to annihilate him just to see that no one follows him or challenge him.

Why do we think that it was the opposition that prepared the flower and made the presentation to the president at Kulungugu? I need an answer else, we should let sleeping dogs lie and have their peace of mind.

Some of us believe in foolish stories without giving it a second thought. May God forbid but if something like that happens today, no one will believe the propaganda that will come from the government blaming the opposition. We have come a long was and it is about time we think deep and ask some commonsensical question about some events that happens some decades ago. Kilungugu bombing was the work of those who hate Nkrumah with in his CPP.

Well, Nkrumah has been the GREATEST DIVIDER in Ghana's history, and that why we are still DIVIDED as a nation. If he was in Mandela's shoes SA would still be divided, and don't forget Ghana's so-called violence level was NOTHING as compared to SA.

For those who were not alive, the greatest crowds assembled ever were the anti-Nkrumah crowds after he was overthrown. So Agyemang badu Akosa and oth4ers are doing what we call revisionist history by making it appear that the NLC was s mall cliques of soldiers with no support.

But the point is if Nkrumah and the CPP were so successful and popular why would they be gradually fading into obscurity?

NPP's absurdities and waspish behaviour.
John Agyekum Kufuor was the mayor of Kumasi during the rule of the military junta National Liberation Council (NLC). NLC rule by decrees and there was no parliament. Minister in the Convention Peoples' Party (CPP)and party members were all imprisoned by decree. The Workers Brigade which was involved in various productive ventures was banned and hundreds of thousands of Ghanaians and their families were left with livelihood. The Scout and Girls Guides which serve the interest of the King and Queen of England were left unscratch, whiles the Young Pioneer Movement which was bombed by Danquah and his followers was banned. In 1969 Progresss Party see all the national liberation movements in Africa and the world as terrorist, and waste of all Negroes who rise against the obnoxious racial segregation laws in the U.S. as demons. When Busia who was the adviser to the NLC military junta came to power in 1969 he did not find it prudent to release members of the CPP some of whom where on death roll from prison.
Of course CPP ministers and members were being keep in detention under the Protective Detention Act passed by the Progress Party majority in parliament.
In 1972 when Busia and Kufuor' government was overthrown by the National Redemption Council led by Colonel Ignatius Acheampong there were more political prisoners in the prisons more than the 9 years of Kwame Nkrumah's rule. It is also on record that no one threw bombs at both Busia and Kufuor, though there were thousands of unemployed, maimed, people who lost their children as a result of Danquah, Busia, Obetseby Lamptey, R.R. Amponsah and others cruelty to others Ghanaians just because they belong to a nation called Ghana. That in 1966 and even today Ghana is a signatory to United Nations Charter on Freedom of Association, Conscience, Human Rights and most of all the principle of Universal Adult Suffrage.
