Ghanaian broadcaster Kwasi Kyei-Darkwah, popularly known as KKD, has critiqued the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) popular slogan, "Breaking the Eight" slogan labeling it as nonsensical.
According to him, the person responsible for coining the term lacks common sense, as he believes that if the ruling government had performed well enough to merit an extension beyond eight years in power, there would be no need to resort to such slogans.
Speaking in an interview with TV XYZ on July 26, 2023, KKD criticized the current president, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo, accusing him of failing to fulfill his promise to tackle illegal mining, commonly known as galamsey.
“Things that you were supposed to do to break the eight, if you would have done it there wouldn’t be any need for a campaign, because of galamsey you bet with your presidency, you people should play the time that the president said that he will put his president on a bet to fight galamsey for me, whom are you deceiving here?” he said.
He highlighted how the president's inability to deliver on this key issue has raised questions about the credibility of the government's promises.
"The person who coined 'Breaking the Eight' doesn't have sense, you people should mention the name for me, the person doesn’t have sense, we have book sense and common sense,” KKD exclaimed.
He continued, "Imagine you married a wife and during the marriage, you couldn't buy anything for your wife, she has become dirty and all her clothes are torn, your children you didn’t take care of them.
"You couldn't take those who were sick to the hospital, and all of a sudden then you want to leave, then a different person comes to marry her…then you realize that that is the time you want to do good to her… fool, why didn’t you do those things initially."
KKD further emphasized that at least 10% of Ghanaians needed to rise above partisan biases and embrace truthfulness.
According to him, he believed that if a substantial portion of the population employed common sense and demanded accountability from their leaders, the country would have the potential to thrive.
“The people in Ghana, take it like the over 31 million population only 10% have sense, that is 3.1 million people, so if only these people use common sense and truthfulness to speak, the country will be better,” he added.

Where and when will your hatred for NPP end? You have chosen to invest your money in your body. Look at you now? PURE HATRED AGAIST NPP and people with substance! Shame on you!
The reactions seem to justify KKD's claims about Ghanaians. Instead of separating the person and the issue here they are lambasting him and even bringing his son into this matter. By the way, legally he was never convicted as a ***barred word*** you are legally wrong to tag him as such. Those of you against gays are you people serious at all? Are you more human than they are? Are you their creator to judge them? I am not gay but between a gay and a corrupt politician I will choose gay. Gays did not lead our economy to collapse it is corrupt politicians who did and gave us cruel haircut! Perhaps the politicians know we don't actually have sense that is why they treat us the way they do. I can't imagine someone raises issues about corruption under this government which we all know to be true and we target his gay son with vitriolic attacks! Are we serious? Our graduates are jobless and this doesnt bother anyone? Politicians hoarding millions of dollars and people should not talk? Hospitals that are supposed to save our lives have become death traps and we think this is ok? Our water bodies and forest reserves are being destroyed with the collusion of corrupt government officials and people jump at you if you talk about it? What kind of people are we? No nation on this earth deserves the kind of treatment these tsupid and corrupt politicians in Ghana are giving us. Ghanaians we are not angry enough! And we even attack those who want to start a conversation about dealing with the matter!
who gave birth to a gay boy is most ***barred word*** father on this earth.
This vile rapest and father of gay is arrogant....so nauseating to see him spew ***barred word***...he's lucky he didn't go to jail...***barred word*** ***barred word***.
People who have sense and brains do not rape women. He has been doing it for years to the beauty pageants but they are afraid to talk, simply because if you talk you will not quality for the next round.
Is this kkd guy not ashamed of spewing such nonesense. so if we are calling sensible men in Ghana will he present himself as one? Oh Meman Ghana de3 akowie nie. Gay mans father and a ***barred word*** also have a say.
Don’t force yourself to be a politician. This is cos you just don’t fit in.
Funny that a r@p!st like KKD is saying some people don't have sense. Which sensible adult r@pes women he does not even know? KKD should thank his stars that he is in Ghana and not in the US. If he were in the US, by now he would have been labeled a sex offender and barred from getting near young boys and girls. He will even be ashamed to get out of his house let alone sit on radio and talk. Irritant.
KKD, I know you're a ***barred word***. Now I also known you're skin pain, in fact you're anything but a gentleman
Mr. KKD please there's nothing wrong if brand like NPP decides to coin a new term to market its brand in order to attract more customers and increase its market share in its industry. PLEASE STOP THE INSULTS.
