Okoampa, here is a lesson in writing clearly without giving up your favo(u)rite embedded structures.

A. An example of Okoampa's convoluted setence:

"Indeed, when his graduate thesis was revoked and his Master’s Degree summarily withdrawn because of the abject lack originality therein and massive levels of plagiarism, by the Academic Council of the University of Ghana, Mr. Iddrisu was a junior minister in the government of President John Evans Atta-Mills, late...."

B. We can improve this by simply using the active, rather than the passive, voice (active vs passive verbs):

"Indeed, when the Academic Council of the University of Ghana revoked his graduate thesis and summarily withdrew his Master’s Degree because of the abject lack [of] originality therein and massive levels of plagiarism, Mr. Iddrisu was a junior minister in the government of President John Evans Atta-Mills, late...."

C. We can still improve the above text by: (i) discarding redundant words and (ii) applying the logic of reason (Haruna's graduate thesis was withdrawn for a reason- plagiarism):

"Indeed, when the Academic Council of the University of Ghana summarily withdrew his Master’s Degree because of the massive levels of plagiarism in his graduate thesis, Mr. Iddrisu was a junior minister in the government of President John Evans Atta-Mills, late...."

D. Assuming you still love using passive verbs, it is still possible to get something less convoluted than Okoampa's original text:

"Indeed, when because of plagiarism his Master's Degree was summarily withdrawn by the Academic Council of the University of Ghana, Mr. Iddrisu was a junior minister in the government of President John Evans Atta-Mills, late...."

Paa, the English teacher , Oxonians and better yet an English teacher from Eton and Winchester would have problems with your corrections? Technically style is personal and as long as readers can make out the point of the writer's expressions, then he has done his job. The Web is no place to teach Proper English writing style? I find expressions on the Web rich just like the poetry of rap music. I guess you think that is garbage? Intellectual egotist !

Tribalistic bum you are! That's the only sense your article defines you to be! Are Ghanaian auditors that ignorant and stupid to the extent that they can not postmortem the Ghanaian economy and come up with ways to reacting what needs to be done in order to fix the rot we found ourselves in? Why invite foreign firm for something that Ghanaians have the equal expertise to accomplish!. Indeed you've failed miserably! I am a sympathizer of the NPP part and Nana Addo Dankwa's administration however, your article revealed to me that it's true that some of NPP's sympathizers are tribalistic! If you have nothing doing, do not do it here ever!

NDC Hippies and buffoons beclowned and dazed by their illiterate acts as if they are being micromanaged in their sordidly partisan stagecraft that blinds them not to the extent of not seeing that they a are bunch of jerks. Are these just plants in parliament? I obviously go into fits when I hear an infantile twit like Ablakwa sitting on a vetting committee. You have all these NDC vandals and boring punks with no literary levity throwing spurious flares against self-made men coming into government to restore sanity rather than concentrate on the core objectives of why these men and women are there. And to the extent that they will have beef with someone who criticized that moron Mahama when he was busy lining his pocket and dishing out contract hampers to loyalists to the detriment of a whole nation? Why wont parliament have different committees to deal with sector ministries/agencies but will choose an omnibus committee that comprises of jackals and fakes who know nothing about why they are there? In the States, you have the foreign relations, judiciary, armed service, etc committees doused with men of knowledge and experience and not grievance-grifting idiots as we have in Ablakwa, Sunyini, Iddrisu and all the other NDC nitwits.

Reading the comments of colleague commentators, it has tone down my emotions to comment. But nevertheless I want to set the record straight, Honourable Haruna Iddrisu stands tall among his peers, yes his masters degree certificate was really revoked by the university council,on account to that, plagiarism as it was claim he does,was his thesis a secondary or primary source data?,the gentleman carried a research relatively to a topic choose by the faculty. Haruna Iddrisu known as a student in the university as genus,and a then former NUGS president vividly carried his research and it went through supervision by his supervisor and a certificate was awarded to him, later on,when his political determination grown up to the point of hitting the first NPP government on the sale of Ghana Telecom and the government can no longer bear the heat, the then minister of education I stand to be corrected Prof forbi,connive with the university council to divert the attention of that gentleman saying his masters degree certificate has the chance to be revoked on the grounds of not acknowledging one writer whose work was used by Honourable Haruna Iddrisu. If readers could remembered he challenged the council in the law court, and the incumbency play a pivotal role on massaging the case. After 2008 general election, the institution called to reinstate his certificate for him and he emphatically say no it. Basically the issue of his certificate was merely political.
Persons like the writer might not know what he is talking about.

Ghanaian floating voters knew that drug addict akuffo addo patapaa at 73 was very irresponsible, divisive, lawless, arrogant a hooligan with impunity and that was why the Ghanaian floating voters rejected him 3 times at poll to humiliate him. But when his persistent appeal to the floating voters with mouth-watered promises and propaganda filled Ghana air-space the Ghanaian floating voters decided to risk their perception about this nonentity at 73 and decided to give him a chance. Unfortunately, just about a month in office the actions and inactions of this patapaa akuffo mugabe dankwa Hitler addo Trump have vindicated Ghanaian floating voters for humiliating him at poll 3 times and l am very sure they are waiting for him at 2020 poll.

I'm sorry for NDC and their Haruna Iddrisu
