Suspending Afoko Will Muddy N.P.P Waters.


 The decision by the Council of Elders of the New Patriotic Party to ask National Chairman, Paul Afoko to be suspended has been described as a step that could further muddy the party’s waters.
Some political watchers have described the move as one that could deepen the woes of the NPP because instead of healing the party. The decision, they say, would rather infuriate supporters of Mr. Afoko and worsen the cracks within the rank and file of the party.

 The main opposition in Ghana has in the last few months been in the media for all the wrong reasons especially amongst its senior executives. The latest twist to the never ending drama in the NPP was when the Council of Elders wrote to the National Executives Committee to suspend Paul  

  Afoko until after the 2016 elections.
This decision follows reports that he has through various means distracted the party’s focus by throwing spokes into the works of the flagbearer. The letter calling for his suspension was signed by one of the elders C.K Tedam and was copied to the flagbearer, Nana Akufo Addo. It indicated that the Chairman huad breached portions of the party’s constitution and must be disciplined.
Sharing his thoughts on the issue to TV3 News, Political Science Lecturer with the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Aminu Dramani said “it’s surprising that it is the senior ones in the party who are fighting each other or amongst themselves.
“I would have said that instead of discussing their matters in the media, they should rather deal with it internally or they could muddy the water the more. If they are arguing that he [Paul Afoko] has breached their constitution then they could go to the disciplinary committee look at what punitive actions there are per their constitution.
“Its better that way than to make it look like there is a plot against someone… That way it would be difficult to get to the bottom and resolve the problem. They should remember that the political aim is to win power in 2016.”

 Meanwhile the flagbearer of the party, Nana Akufo Addo has asked all members of the party to desist from discussing the party’s issues in the media.

I Fear For Ghana's Youth Under N.D.C.


Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, running mate of New Patriotic Party flagbearer Nana Akufo-Addo, has stated that if President Mahama were his student he would have graded him F in economics.

He said the NDC government has since 2009 failed in its management of the economy.

“You inherited an economy with the highest resources in the history of Ghana. Tax resources, four times higher than the NPP; Cocoa, three times higher; Gold, three times higher; you have borrowed more than all the governments put together and still we can’t feel a better economy, then you have failed. Mahama deserves F in economic management,” Bawumia asserted.

Speaking in an interview with Nsempawura on a Koforidua-based Eastern FM, the former Deputy Governor said for instance, the NDC government inherited a total debt of GHC 9.5 billion in 2009 and has increased it to GHC 90 billion within six years.

By the end of the year, Ghana’s debt will hit about US$ 40 billion looking at the current borrowing trend, he predicted.

With the sum of US$ 40 billion, he said, a good management team will allocate just US$ 2 billion to each region for development but the contrary is happening under the NDC government.



In economic management, every government with such an amount of money should be able to pay nurses, teachers, doctors, NHIS, and take care of all the social intervention programmes in Ghana, Dr. Bawumia analysed.

According to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, President Mahama and the NDC government can best be described as a “toxic mixture of incompetent and corruption which has exploded into ‘Wahala’ and Suffering”.

He feared for the future of the Ghanaian youth under the NDC administration, and challenged the youth to join the NPP to recapture power from the NDC in the 2016 General elections.

Meanwhile, the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has called on Ghanaians to resist politicians who inflame ethnic sentiment in the run up to the general elections.

He accused the NDC of inflaming ethnic comment in the Eastern region and other parts of the country to gain political favor.

He said, the Eastern Region and Ghana has a mixture of all tribes and have lived together over the year’s without clashes or misunderstanding hence the NDC should not destabilize the country by promoting ethnic propaganda

The NPP flagbearer noted that, he is not corrupt and has never stolen the state money before hence he is the best person Ghanaians should trust to manage the affairs of this country.

Anas sent the two petitions one dated 31 August and addressed to the president. The other on 2 September 2015 to the Chief Justice.

An Emergency Judicial Council meeting was held on 2nd September, 2015 to discuss the matter and the following decisions and measures were taken.

1. A Disciplinary Committee of the Judical Council was constituted to investigate the petition against the 22 Judges and Magistrates. It is a five -member Committee chaired by Justice of the Supreme Court. 

2. On September 7, 2015, the 22 Circuit Judges and Magistrates were served with letter stating the allegations against them and were asked to submit their responses by September 9, 2015. 

3. The Judicial Council further decided that upon receipt of their responses the 22 individuals should be suspended until the final determination of the matter.

Other court officials who may have collaborated in these alleged acts of are also going to be pursued according to the Chief Justice.

The Judicial Council would like to assure the general public that the outcome of these processes would be made fully public and no one will be spared appropriate sanctions where culpability is established,” the statement said. It further said the Council fully reckons that the perception or actuality of corruption in the Judiciary “undemines confidence in the institution and cannot be tolerated to continue in any shape or form, hence the need to act with utmost dispatch.”
