Wonderful, if you are a party person who is always cheered by NDC and it's appendages, called by NDC media houses when there is peace in De party to as it were stoke fire, and still believe you doing the right thing, then there must be something wrong with you.
The NDC now has campaigners who vilify Nana Addo in Arthur K, Nyaho Tamaklo and Ohene Ntow. They nuts go on and on.
In NPP I see them as gate crushers.

Anyone who knows Arthur K to any degree will tell you that he is an attention seeker who advances intellectually hollow arguments regardless of the platform available to him. Having observed his conduct over the years from campus to the national stage, it is clearly a mental disorder of self aggrandizement. He will not engage on any intellectual level, but will demonize, insinuate and undermine his own party to gain publicity - talk about dishonesty! Frankly, he is a novice and a fool; the good thing is, he cannot fool the masses who have recognized him as a hidden supporter of NDC, paid to do damage to NPP. Nyaho, Ohene Ntow and others have genuine differences on issues and that is understandable. Arthur K is a different kettle of fish - an opportunist who likes to write, speak or do anything to destroy. It will not amount to anything and he knows it!

Ghana has been unlucky, there is not much choice where leadership is concerned. And it has become obvious NPP is neither giving us more competitive options to choose from beyond the Nana Addo & co rhetoric and this is causing much grief. You will be amazed how many people have just given up on Ghana. Otherwise we will not be reading this stupid rebuttal from a disgruntled Yaw Ohemeng in the first place.

Dr. Arthur Kennedy is a political turn coat. The guy is a miserable wretch who is chasing a mirage of presidential ambition. Kennedy is not a member of NPP let alone being a "leading member" It has been revealed that he is not even a member of NPP USA, this guy resides in the USA and doesn't belong to the branch. Yet Arthur K wants us to believe that he loves the party than everyone living.

Yaw, Arthur Kennedy generally cannot be classified as an intellectual since his write ups at best average and rhetorical and always aimed to destroy Nana Akuffo Addo and nothing more. His arguments are illogical, non-consequential and lack common sense in most cases. He is full of malice and is always seeking to widen any cracks he finds in NPP to advance his pet quixotic ambition of one day becoming the NPP flagbearer. He will surely fall on his own sword since God is love but also full of Justice.

His one liner quotes from US presidents is quite nauseating because he seldom provides context to these quotes. Yaw, I doubt he will ever engage you intellectually on the issues you have raised. Arthur Kennedy has resigned himself to making money as a doctor in South Carolina and seeks relevance by writing shallow articles on the Web about Akuffi Addo and the NPP. He is only a douche bag.

For those who are ignorant and/or cannot read between the lines, Arthur K is only doing Kuffour's bidding. Sad to say, but the (2 main) factions within the NPP are real. Kuffour heads the Ashanti faction but Nicodemously let's Kwame Pianim front it. This faction has determined NEVER to allow Akuffo Addo become president. They have even agreed with NDC to ensure Mahama gets a second term. Look back from the time of K4's presidency till the supreme court ruling on the electoral petition and current happenings in the party and you will come out absolutely convinced that K4 has had not once, not twice, but three opportunities to decide to make Akuffo Addo president but he conveniently and deliberately refused. Don't be fooled by K4's statesmanship posture (he is a member of the occult) and they find an incorrupt Akuffo Addo a threat to the 'cabal'. Mahama, K4, Asantehene and Allan K(Cash) are all from the same roots.

Arthur K should have realized long ago that apart from NDC people, no one else takes him serious. You can write all you want, you have long ago passed beyond redemption.

When would this intellectual cannibalism in NPP stop? Dr. Ohemeng is on Dr. Arthur Kennedy's case simply because he sees the latter as opposing Nana Akufo-Addo, who Dr. Ohemeng worships. It is Dr. Ohemeng and his Akufo-Addo's hooliganistic brigade that are steeped in victimization. So, even if Dr. Kennedy has been seeking a refuge in victimhood, that is what Dr. Ohemeng has been hoping for all along, and his faction has been building to house the honest folks of Dr. Kennedy's kind.

Kennedy's book did not betray anyone. It was an honest assessment of all that had gone wrong with NPP to deny the Party a win at consecutive Elections. Portraying Dr. Kennedy as some unreliable Party insider who only cherishes destroying the Party from within is as balderdash as the kind of Dr. Ohemeng is unwelcoming of the truth.

Dr. Ohemeng and his clique of NPP leaders and intellectuals would rather have us all believe that the Party never errs, and that no one should ever dare spill out the beans about the culture of looking away and worshipping personalities in the NPP, even if these folks continue to tug the wrong ropes. To them, anyone who criticizes the nefarious behavior of the Akufo-Addo faction is a NDC sympathizer. How moronic!

Typical of many of Dr. Ohemeng's caliber, they hate being exposed as fallible. They never apologize for anything they do wrong, intentionally or otherwise. They consider only their opinions as the gospel truths to which all must succumb and abide by. And if anyone dares diverge, that person is treated as a persona non grata, and doused in endless insults.

The case of Dr. Kennedy is even perceived much worse by Dr. Ohemeng because the former dared to stand up to contest against Akufo-Addo, whom some of Dr. Ohemeng's cohorts wanted to pronounce unopposed, and impose upon the NPP as the only official spokesperson of the Party, leading to the Primaries.

Surely, Akufo-Addo finally won the NPP primaries to become the Flagbearer of NPP. But we all know the shenanigan tactics that his campaign was fraught with, resulting in the current impasse in the Party that the Flagbearer's team is using to ouster the Chairman and General Secretary.

So, let Dr. Ohemeng swim and revel in his illusionary perceptions that Dr. Kennedy is an outcast in NPP. Dr. Kennedy still wields some clout as a more honest member of the Party than the likes of Dr. Ohemeng. No one expects the truth-haters like Ohemeng to like Dr. Kennedy. But for Ohemeng to stoop so low as to declare Dr. Kennedy an outcast in NPP is nothing less than an arrogant display of megalomaniacal buffoonery. What power has Dr. Ohemeng to declare Dr. Kennedy an outcast in NPP?

It is the same illogical, impudent treatment Dr. Ohemeng is meting out to Dr. Kennedy that the former's roguish gangsters have been projecting unto Afoko and Kwabena Agyepong from the very beginning of the two assuming the top Administrative positions in NPP.

Why didn't Dr. Ohemeng undertake the task of disproving Dr. Kennedy's observations in his book with a similar publication, or even pre-empt Dr. Kennedy's work with his own that conforms to the format he, Dr. Ohemeng, prescribes after the fact?

It is about time that Dr. Ohemeng conceded the fact that Akufo-Addo is no God who must not be opposed, or criticized. Almost everyone who dared contest against Akufo-Addo has been branded in some negative perception by the Flagbearer's minions, and targeted for denigration. From Dr. Apraku, Dr. Frimpong Boateng, Dr. Arthur Kennedy, to Alan Kyeremateng, all who contested against Akufo-Addo, have been smeared with stinky morass from Nana's 'house'. From Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe, Dr. Anane, to Kwadwo Mpiani and Kwame Pianim, all who dared oppose Akufo-Addo's Flagbearership, have been subjected to crude incivility from Akufo-Addo's camp. Then comes the unabated siege of Afoko and Kwabena Agyapong by the same Akufo-Addo faction of the NPP.

What in the World do these pseudo-democratic Akufo-Addo's ordination- obsessed Mafioso want from other members of the Party? To give up the Party to only Nana's faction? Or, perpetually remain silent about the Party's fate, because Akufo-Addo reigns in the Flagbearership?

It is most apparent that almost all the caustic criticisms of Dr. Arthur Kennedy for his bluntness is meant to shut him up for good in the Party. So much for a Party that claims to be a champion of Democracy!

Rather, Dr. Ohemeng and his bunch of divisive bigots are the ones that are destroying the NPP, and may have to be ostracized. Not Dr. Arthur Kennedy.

Long Live Ghana!!!

I respect your right to voice this out. At least we are getting some response. Back up your assertions with verifiable facts and you may win me over.

My loyalty is to no one in the NPP but to the party. You can trawl through my articles and you will find that I have even defended President Kufuor against Arthur Kennedy.

It is true that no one is infallible but going on like a broken record is not and should not to be to anyone's taste.

The Party has voted for Akufo Addo overwhelmingly. This cannot be wrong, at least by the democratic principles we have chosen to conduct our affairs. If anyone has done anything illegal, call him or her out with credible evidence, and we shall join you in condemnation.

In the absence of that, pulling your side down amounts to paving the way for the other side.

By the way I do not see bigotry in what I wrote and have been writing. When you can debate, you resort to name calling. At least I know of a party whose trademark this is and it is not the NPP.

Yaw Ohemeng, enough of this beef with Arthur Kennedy. We all do not share the same moral principles even where it crosses party lines. I'm equally surprised you have just written you even defend Kuffuor against Arthur K. Why do you think Kuffuor needs to be defended against Arthur Kennedy? Was there a need to do that? For you to write such an article against one man who is only trying to point out what he perceives to be wrong in his eyes makes you a conceited blinded follower who is so gullible you fail to think beyond partisan persuasions. Your kind opposes any type of dissent and that is the reason Ghana will remain in this type of shit for long. Don't you think even and NPP member has a right to oppose our god Nana Addo?

Hmmm,
Now, it is Dr Ohemeng who is in the wrong, just by calling on Dr Kennedy for an honest debate? What is your point reallly? Arthur Kennedy says he is a democrat, who lives in a democratic country and is supposed to be part of a democratic party. If he has a problem with the way the organisation is being run, what prevents him from putting his case through the appropriate channels for an honest discussion?

Where in the world do people go behind official organisational policies and structures to take pot shots at the very organisation/institution they claim to love?

Everyone who felt able, put himself up for the flagbearership contest of the NPP in 2007, nineteen people, in fact, and were voted for by the rank and file of the NPP. Arthur Kennedy secured just one vote in that contest but was still made the spokesman for the 2008 campaign. I have only read the reviews of his book, which I do not care about anyway. Any decent individual involved in an election would present his observations as a memorandum to his party, not a publication aimed at discrediting the process of which he was part.

The 2014 contest was even better. Over 950,000 members of the NPP voted in the contest with Nana Akufo-Addo securing more than 80% of the legitimate votes cast. Even the people who contested with Nana Addo have conceded and are working quietly behind the scenes for the cause of the NPP. What makes Arthur Kennedy so damned different from the rest of them? What has been his earth-shaking achievements anyway? Failing even at District Assembly elections?

The NPP constitution is really nebulous on the position of the flagbearer. Ordinarily, the Chairman and General Secretary should have been showcasing the party, but for more than eighteen months after their election before the unfortunate events that led to the death of one of the very prominent members of the party under very peculiar circumstances, those two elected officers did absolute damn all. Did anyone really expect Nana a lawyer, to jump into the ring with those two? While that case is still in court, was Nana expected to just sit down doing nothing?

Arthur Kennedy may be causing “penalties” against the NPP to the delight of the NDC, but there are other sympathisers of the NPP who believe he has caused enough havoc in the NPP and should therefore be taken on. That is what people like Dr Ohemeng are doing, and they have every right to do so. If Dr Kennedy and his friends really believe in honest debate, they should join the debate and stop the semantics!

Bravo, Dr Ohemeng! This foolish idiot Arthur Kennedy can never reply to your articles because while your articles portray sense his portray stupidity of a frustrated, inward- looking politician.A person worth the title Dr will not use classified information accessible to him to write a book to ridicule a political party he claims to belong to(look at the title he gave to the book!).And such a character with no sense of shame wanted to be the presidential candidate of NPP! !!
