The relationship is that they are all Ghanaians, and that they are all well-educated, accomplished individuals who truly qualify for the positions they hold. Do you have a problem with that?

You people are mischievous that's why your party is sinking. The President is Akufo - Addo with one 'F' and a compound name inherited from his father who everyone knows as Akufo - Addo but not Akuffo so what's your problem? Does that mean every Asiedu from saikwah relates to Asiedu Nketiah what stupidity is this? Only ndc has that logic and mentality. Why are ndc not saying Gen. Akuffo is also related to Akufo-Addo why are they silent on that? This shows how evil and mischievous these people are. So every Agbesi Woyome is from Woyome ' s home town and they are family members so Ghana must chase anyone with that name for our money? When you are born stupid nothing can change you and it's hard,difficult to use your own God giving brains. President Rawlings has found it right to recuse himself from this ndc, eeii! What kind of people are these? I find it difficult to understand their logic so how can they win souls to their side? No wonder their members are seen by their fruits.

Very pertinent questions indeed to prove that there is no cronyism in her appointment. This is more so as there were 2 other qualified people who could have been appointed to the post and the number of friends and relatives this president already has in his cabinet. He has demonstratated a strong inclination towards cronyism. The above questions should be truthfully answered to dispel these suspicions of cronyism.

The position of CJ is political. Its not a position that goes to the most senior judge. The CJ of USA is the youngest among the supreme court judges of America.

Omanbe, Omanbe, yeh! Mo yee Nana Akuffo Addo aye, Omanbe! Ah, ndc there they go again. There is nothing wrong with Nana Akuffo Addo appointing a qualified and a very competent Havard trained student of law as the new CJ. President Kennedy appointed his brother, then Senstor Robert Kennedy as the US Attorney General in his cabnent. He went through the confirmation hearings at the Senate and scaled through like any of the president's nominees. How many of Akuffo Addo's briohers or sisters are in his government? Zero, nada, zeuich, wheew ara da. NDC wants scandal at all cost and they will not get one. Nana keep your focus and serve Ghana to the of your ability. We wish the soon to be appointed CJ good luck and God's speed. Majority of Akuffo Addo 's nominees are all NPP members and there is nothing wrong with that. Its a winner takes all. He reserves the right to appoint an independent or an opposition party member to his cabinent or not. That is his constitutional previledge, ndc! Its is his cjoice and there is nothing wrong about, and short of cronyism or nepotism. Cronyism is giving access to power through pay to play or knowing or having connections in power as per Asiah Huaung is to Mahama Ayirigah/ndc, as per Ibrahim Mahama refusing to pay import duties on saleable equipments, because his brother was then co-president.. Further, nepotism may include giving access to tribes men, family members and so on. Nothing of that can said of Nana President Akuffo Addo. NDC change your ways or you will be broke.
