RE: COCOBOD Case:A. A. Bright Esq. Insists Court Of Appeal’s Excoriation ‘Completely Unwarranted

The author of the article, A A Bright Esq, tries to impress his readers with his legal title. However, his article lacks any scholarly or legal merit. He fails to support his argument with proper authority and shows a poor or dishonest understanding of the Common Law. For example, he claims that the common law position was that a new judge must hear a case de novo if the original judge becomes unable to continue. He cites the case of Republic v Adu-Boahene and Kwesi Pratt [1993] DLSC4893 as his authority. However, this case has nothing to do with his…

How Votes Can Make John Mahama Neglect His People

How Votes Can Make John Mahama Neglect His People

God has a way of exacting retribution on the never-ending episodes of human dishonesty. It may take a while, sometimes, but it eventually dawns. What we are all sure about is that, this one didn't take too long. In the eyes and minds of everyone in this country, particularly the good people of Gonjaland, John Mahama has been exposed and must be shamed. The Bagre Dam spillage in neighbouring Burkina Faso and the torrential rains in the area has affected several communities around the Volta Lake and displaced people in excess of 2500. The area in question spans the northern…

Rasford Gyampo And Kobby Mensah’s Deranged Ploy Against The NPP Won’t Wash

Rasford Gyampo And Kobby Mensah’s Deranged Ploy Against The NPP Won’t Wash

In politics and geopolitics, political scientists often research political ideas, analyze them and present their findings. Indeed, the record of the study of politics has been very good, with long-term impacts of political science in areas such as the study of elections, the reform of electoral systems, party funding, decentralisation, devolution, constitutional reform, public management reform, and so forth and so on. It is also an established fact that, dozens of political scientists are limited by their reliance on existing data sets, which is why I find the rantings of Prof Ransford Gyampo and Kobby Mensah relating to Alan Kyeremanten's…

Open Letter To Kwasi Kyei Darkwa(KKD): Please Stop Dancing Naked In Front Of The Discerning Public

Open Letter To Kwasi Kyei Darkwa(KKD): Please Stop Dancing Naked In Front Of The Discerning Public

Dear Kwasi Kyei Darkwa (KKD), I hope you are bearing up despite all the brickbats. You are experiencing something every gluttonous character has had to contend with. It must be galling to have all the criticisms thrown back at you. It must be especially galling when the qualities that led you into a successful radio and TV personality, and then into social media commentator, are so at odds with the prevailing political culture. Growing up, I used to admire your antics on TV. I mean the good old days of the Embassy Pleasure and your witty hosting shenanigans. Since before…

Ernest Kofi Owusu-Bempah Writes: John Mahama’s Legacy Of Corruption Rages On

Ernest Kofi Owusu-Bempah Writes: John Mahama’s Legacy Of Corruption Rages On

Former President John Mahama not long ago marked the beginning of another electioneering season aimed at the presidency of Ghana. But even before Ghanaians indulge him, questions are being posed as to the viability of his candidature, looking back at a legacy of profound corruption and egregious conflicts of interest he left behind, the repercussions of which continues to echo six and half years after he left office. After campaigning on the promise that he would stamp out corruption in public office, Mahama did the opposite, using his power as the President to boost his own profits through numerous underhand…

The Intended Oversight Of Article 13(7) Of The NPP Party Constitution By The Aspiring Presidential Candidate

The Intended Oversight Of Article 13(7) Of The NPP Party Constitution By The Aspiring Presidential Candidate

Prior to my decision to joining the Elephant Fraternity, the Great NPP two years ago from the Convention People’s Party, I took two good months to study the Constitution and the Ideology of the party. The essence of this decision was to be very sure and clear that the Constitution is not ambiguous and accepts whosoever has a good standing and ready to contribute to the cause of the party in bringing development to the party and mother Ghana. Upon reading the constitution over and over again, here comes article 13(7) paragraph A-G , which captures my thoughts and interests…

The NPP’s Internal Contest And Those Doing The NDC’s Bidding.

The NPP’s Internal Contest And Those Doing The NDC’s Bidding.

The NPP’s Internal Contest and Those Doing the NDC’s Bidding. By Seth Osei Darko Accra 20th June, 2023 In an earlier piece on HE, Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, I observed among other things that “DMB has shaken the frontiers of political engagement in the country. Even in his humorous best he essentially ensures that campaigns and debates are issues-based. He has often found simple and witty ways to repel the mischief and propaganda of the NDC. His ‘chalie wote to boot’ response to President Mahama’s boot to boot campaign was one of the many subtle punches that kept a vicious…

NPP Campaign 2024: Vote Bawumia, Get Samira Free

NPP Campaign 2024: Vote Bawumia, Get Samira Free

In the realm of potential first ladies actively engaged in campaign platforms for either the NPP or NDC, Samira Bawumia stands out alongside Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings. Her captivating presence ignited tremendous enthusiasm during the NPP rallies of the 2016 and 2020 campaigns. The 2024 campaign would be very exciting to have Samira Bawumia going after Mahama as a potential First Lady. Dr Mahamudu Bawumia must win the NPP’s presidential primaries to make this happen. NDC ran more efficient campaigns when Rawlings and his wife Nana Konadu led separate teams to criss-cross the whole country. While Rawlings led a group…

It Will Be Highly Unfair For The Electoral Commission To Impose A Symbol On Kwaku Duah

It Will Be Highly Unfair For The Electoral Commission To Impose A Symbol On Kwaku Duah

Less than a week to the Kumawu by-election, the Electoral Commission has rejected the sketch image of a falcon as our symbol. We find this move by the Commission very unfortunate and unfair as the Commission even failed to engage us before making that hasty decision of imposing a symbol on our candidate. We must state with emphasis that, there is absolutely nothing wrong with our symbol as claimed by the Commission. Even a cursory glance at the two symbols in question shows that, the two symbols do not confuse or deceive the public during campaigning, and would not do…
