@kwasi foot government soldier. This is nepotism, plain and simple. This is about GH future not that peanut money you get from ...you know what.
***barred word*** reportage because Kofi is already a deputy director general so has just been promoted. why do you report this as if he has been plucked from nowhere and put into this position. bad reportage from an unqualified and sensational journalist.
Ohhhh my Ghana paaa nie!!! It's a sad state for my beloved country.
Akufo Addo and the akyem mafias are of the deception that Ghana "belongs" to them and they can't get away with everything including imposing their protégé on the NPP and Ghana so that they can extend their control over Ghana. Their impunity is now above the second heavens and it's long overdue for Ghanaians to place them in their rightful place. When Mahama was in power and had only one of his direct cousins in power, these mafias knew that putting family members in position in government is very dangerous to the state . They therefore campagned rigorously that Mahama formed a government of family and friends. Today, we have nincompoops who think that it's ok for the akyem mafias to do the state capturing that they are doing.
THE CAPTURE: "OSAFO MARFO'S SON" IS A NON-STARTER. IT IS POOR REPORTAGE. POINT NO.1: MR. KOFI BOSOMPEM OSAFO-MARFO A GHANAIAN OR NOT? POINT NO. 2: IS MR. KOFI BOSOMPEM OSAFO-MARFO QUALIFIED TO THE POSITION OF DIRECTOR-GENERAL OF BANK OF GHANA OR NOT? THE FACT THAT MR. KOFI BOSOMPEM OSAFO-MARFO HAPPENED TO BE THE SON OF MR. YAW OSAFO MARFO DOES NOT NEED TO LINK HIS APPOINTMENT TO HIS FATHER. THESE PETTY POLITICAL REFRACTIONS MUST STOP IN OUR POLITICAL DISCOURSE.
This is total state capture. This appointment of osafo-Marfo's son is nothing short of trying impose a new DG who is young and will serve for over ten years in the position during a likely event NDC wins power for the next 8 years. By elevating Osafo-Marfo's son to DG, when NDC comes and sack him, he will still collect his salary for life.
