Is this man (Dr. Cobbah) the original husband of Esther Cobbah who got snatched by Tsatsu Tsikata? I understand Tsatsu used his position as the then CEO of GNPC and strong influence in the Rawlings' government to snatch Esther from her legitimate husband Mr. Cobbah.

THIS IS ESTHER COBBAH'S BROTHER WHO RETIRED FROM GIMPA. WHY CAN'T NIA APPOINT SOMEONE WHO IS NOT A RETIREE? HE IS IN HURRY TO CHOP BEFORE HE IS AXED. WHY ALL THE RUSH TO DO PPP? THEY ALREADY HAVE A PARTNER IN THE PIPELINE AND ALL THEY WANT IS SOME REASON TO ACCESS THE LOAN AND SHARE.
ESTHER'S EX HUSBAND IS CALLED BAAH BOAKYE AND HE WAS IN THE DIPLOMATIC SERVICE. HE SERVED AS AN AMBASSADOR IN SOUTH AFRICA OR ZIMBABWE. IT IS TRUE THAT HE LOST HIS WIFE TO TSATSTU. THAT IS OLD NEWS.
STOP THE PLANNED CHOP CHOP AT NIA BEFORE IT GETS LATE!!!!!!

Dr. Cobbah deserves to be commended for turning around the fortunes of a vital state institution whose work is crucial for the success of the agencies mandated to protect our nation and its citizens at point in time in our history when terrorism has become a security concern for all the nations in west Africa.
To avoid a situation similar to the one in which the National Lotteries Authority was taken advantage of by SIMNET in a PPP deal, which then took it to court, to add insult to injury, it is important that the leadership of the National Identification Authority talk to Adam Smith International of the UK - which saved Nigeria millions of dollars in a PPP deal, from the advice it gave to the Nigerian authorities.
Adam Smith International can work with the NIA to develop in-house capacity to evaluate PPP proposals from potential private-sector partners - and ensure that all the agreements they eventaully enter into, are win-win ones.
Above all, Dr. Cobbah must ensure that all PPP proposals are made public - so that ordinary people can also evaluate them: and at all material times see that the NIA is indeed acting transparently.
This being Ghana, there is always suspicion in the minds of many that public officials are getting kickbacks from those who obtain government contracts.
Transparency in all the NIA's PPP deals will enable it to avoid being tarred with that brush too.
Dr. Cobbah is know for his integrity. He is a fair and decent gentleman - and I wish him well at the NIA.

Hey sister Belinda, I could not agree with you more on this point. I have said this over and over again that, we Ewes are very stupid to have allowed the NDC to use us for so long! Even that tag "NDC World Bank of Votes" which our Region (Volta) carries is a disgrace in itself and an affront to our dignity. Because NDC knows that, no matter what, it is assured of near 100% Volta votes and parliamentary seats, they don't care about us.
It is high time we Ewes pledge our loyalty to another party for better results. When I say this, some of our Ewe brethren castigate me but I don't care. I will persist in this campaign. I am happy to discover that someone also reasons with me along this line. Hopefully, it is not only the two of us (you Belinda and me Agbeve) that think this way. I believe our campaign will gather stem and more Ewes will realize how stupid we have been and join the bandwagon.
Thank you!
