Is it........tion? 

What a week it's been.....from the fallout of the theft of Auntie Cecilia Dapaah's cash to her resignation and the spins et al on the saga/scandal.

For me, it's a matter of where do you stand in this whole brouhaha. Can you believe some folks are justifying the theft by saying if thief man thief a man, nothing is wrong. What we have to bear in mind is that the source of the cash hasn't been determined yet although there are all sorts of stories in the public domain. What I know for a fact is that the A.G. has said there will be an investigation to determine the source of the cash. Whether it's a late brother's cash or otherwise.

At the end of the day, this matter must be handled well to send the right signals to all and sundry. That like His Excellency the President said, his government won't be an avenue for wealth creation through unwholesome means. There's too much steam from the kitchen and I believe President Akufo-Addo will do well to normalize the temperature in the kitchen.

Beyond the sway of politics, I had the fortune of participating in Panafest this year. There's so much to say about Panafest and Emancipation Day. 

All I will say for now is that, these two events must be linked to the Beyond the Return campaign and anchored in the December in Gh activities so that visitors in December will be aware of Panafest/Emancipation and that would be the spiritual component to the fun and excitement of the December in Gh vibe.

See you soon!

 KUMAWU ELECTIONS

There's been is it jokes or sayings that, for development, your MP must die to attract the government's attention for them to bring development to your constituency.

For me I believe those thoughts will disappear sooner or later as Ghanaians wake up and smell the coffee, realizing that politicians will want to take them for a ride whenever possible.

As we await the results from Kumawu, although it's most likely that the NPP candidate will carry the day. The question then is what will be the margin of victory. I saw some information which indicated that from 1996 when the NPP votes were in the 70s and 80%, the votes dwindled to a low of 51% in 2020.

What pundits are closely watching is whether the NPPs vote will increase from the 51% two years ago or if it will remain the same or dip. This is based largely on the performance of the independent candidate, Kweku Duah who gave the party a run for their money resulting in the dip in votes.

As we move towards 2024, Ghanaians will be watching closely the outcome of Kumawu to see if it has any bearings on Election 2024.

God bless our Homeland Ghana and make us great and strong!
