“All Dr. Frank Amoakohene does is organize events on social media; I have no time to hold any secret meetings against him, and he can't destroy NPP’s legacy in the Ashanti Region.” - Sam Pyne, former Mayor of Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly
Over 500,000 young people trying to join the security services is a worry...and proof of the economy's failure to create enough jobs, and many have lost interest in farming over government excessive food imports. - Dominic Nitiwul, Former Defense Minister
“The finance minister and the auditor-general should be ready to face me in court over the auditor-general's report implicating me in wrongful transactions. They don’t know who they are joking with. Do they even understand what a fictitious contract or transaction is?” - K. T. Hammond, Former Minister for the Ministry of Trade and Industry (Ghana).
“President Mahama used the Dzata jet to save costs, and there is no conflict of interest. We did not pay anything to rent the jet from Ibrahim Mahama.” - Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Government Communications Minister
"Foreign Minister Okudzeto Ablakwa should have been sacked for exposing Ghana to security threats. His claim at Chatham House that Ghana worked with the US on the Christmas Day bombing in Nigeria was reckless and irresponsible." - Akosua Asaa Manu, Special Aide to former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia
“I am ready to contest the Ablekuma South parliamentary seat if the people want me. I will run as an independent candidate.”
The pain we are going through is intense; if we react, it could turn into something else. Some of us regret becoming teachers because we have nobody to speak on our behalf. How do you expect us to live without receiving payment for 14 months? - Ray, Convener, Unpaid Newly Posted Staff of GES
Using flimsy excuses like defective teeth to deny grassroots members recruitment into the security services makes no sense. What has teeth got to do with working in the security service? These members are the backbone of the party...and have sacrificed enough to be considered. - Eric Adjei, Acting CEO of NEIP
In the wake of the cocoa farmers’ haircut and the gold sales controversy at the Bank of Ghana, where are the loud-mouthed CSOs and clergy? Are they enjoying life under the Mahama government? Weren’t these the same people who hounded the Akufo-Addo government? What has happened to their voices? - Sam Pyne, Former KMA Boss
NDC should dare not attribute its mismanagement of the economy to the US-Israeli-Iran conflict because it will never be accepted. If the Russia-Ukraine war was not considered a valid factor affecting Ghana’s economy in 2020, then attempts to use such conflicts as excuses going forward will also be rejected. - Richard Ahiagbah, Director of Communications, NPP
You cannot come from Akwatia and expect to win in Nima; I won't be surprised if Yussif Baba Ali beats Baba Jama to win the Ayawaso East by-election. - Nana B, National Organiser of NPP.
“SONA crafted to set Mahama up; it painted Ghana’s economic crisis as if it disappeared in one year, ignoring debt history and recent borrowing.” - Kwasi Nyame-Baafi, Economist and GIMPA Lecturer.
Bawumia is the mastermind behind the Gold for Reserve programme and deserves credit; the government policy is essentially a continuation of his gold purchase initiative. - Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, MP for Ofoase-Ayirebi
“Ghanaians in the diaspora are no longer sending money home like before. We warned our families not to vote NPP out, but they refused, so we’re no longer interested in helping them,” - Kingsley Adumattah Agyapong, NPP UK Chairman
“Students involved in the SWESBUS assault incident should be disciplined, not dismissed. Expulsion could turn them into school dropouts and put their future at risk.” - Prof. Kwasi Opoku-Amankwa, Former Director-General, Ghana Education Service
“Randy Abbey is not to blame for COCOBOD’s problems. Critics are just trying to tarnish his reputation and make him a scapegoat. The real issue stems from NPP’s mismanagement of the sector.” - Dr. Samuel Ayeh, Presidential Aide (Government Communications)
“The NPP should be the last to talk about the cocoa pricing issues; they contributed to the problems the sector is facing.” - Dr. Peter Boamah Otokunor
“Since when have they cared more about cocoa farmers than pensioners?” - Felix Kwakye Ofosu, government spokesperson, lashes out at the NPP over its criticism of the new cocoa price.
COCOBOD owes farmers GH₵11 billion. How can it realistically pay them as directed by the Finance Minister, and where will the funds come from to settle this debt? - Fiifi Boafo, Former Head of Public Affairs, COCOBOD.
ONE-ON-ONE with Eric Opoku, Minister for Food and Agriculture: "Cocobod under the NPP left a rollover of 330,000 tonnes. Per the Cocobod transition document I have, if I make it public, no NPP communicator will dare to speak on cocoa issues or challenge it."
