Hypocrite. Your article exposes your jealous feelings. If you want to mention Kufuor's flaws whilst in gov't, don't beat about the bush. But we are thankful that he wasn't a dictator and brute like some of your heroes. Kufuor did so much for Ghana considering the state in which Ghana was before he assumed office. He left more wealth and hope for Ghana than any gov't beore his and possibly after his gov't. Your twist and turns can't change his legacy because we shall measure every gov't against his standards. If there is evidence that Kufuor stole from Ghana, advice your NDC gov't to seek justice for mother Ghana and spare us your pedestrial comments.

"Why does Kufuor want to remain relevant?" It beats my imagination but to look at it from anotherr angle, his family did quite well during his presidency. His son "chief" bought a $5 million hotel without putting a thin dime as collateral. rumors has it that his daughter owns or has interest in Accra Mall, his junior brother who was a defense minister was involved in shady airplane/helicopter deal. The JAKass himself had twins with his economic adviser and mistress Ms. Giselle Yanzi.

How can a State be relevant when we all know about his thievery.
And who ever said Kronfuor grew our economy really does not know how economies grow.
The Ghanaian Economy grew not because of policy implementation by this well known thief, but because of the movement of investors from particularly Nigeria after lost of investor confidence there.
Then the decline in European countries economy bringing about the bubble burst meant savings were directed into the purchase of minerals, Gold being one the minerals attracting higher demand with a higher price. So If anyone says Kronfuor Kuffuor grew our economy perhaps the person is talking about debt forgiveness........hahahahahahaha
Even so, the forgiven debt was used as an opportunity to steal more money.
Personally I knew Kuffuor before given the nod in a congress by NPP organised in the common wealth house in Legon then, Kuffuor had then a poverty signal clearly written across his face, you can see it. The 'Waatonchin' car he drove in was one of the 'signals'. Today, the difference now is just too way above normal, abnormally humongous if I may say that this man now can make kings from thievery.

WHEN ONE WANT TO SEE A PIG IN HUMAN SHAPE,TRY TO LOCATE Kola. The most stupid person under the sun one could ever meet. If DEBT cancellation is easy,according to your comment,why your useless Ndc leaders did not do so? Since you are big fool in London,visit B.B.C Africa service and ask them little Kufour administration. Kwasea, was Rawlings able to do such.

Tanx bro.for such an interesting piece but u missed a point. Rawlings contributed greatly to this course and even more by not just establishing a governance centre but by using the same award as kufuors to establish the u.d.s. I think both must be commended though i think they can do bvettr than what we are seeing today.

"No one needs any reminder on the inadequacies that characterized his administration, no matter what his good intentions were"
Bokor, how did you come to appreciate the possibility that Kufuor must nurtured good intentions? He had NONE. Kufuor came to steal money, corrupt his entourage and get a hand on all those ladies while it lasted.
He will NEVER be relevant, he has not legacy and will NEVER be remembered.

A fine piece. But I wish the formatting could have been better to allow easier reading. Could Ghanaweb.com, please, help with formatting of Articles before publishing them? It is most likely this Article was submitted with appropriate formatting but accidentally modified by some intervening program to lose its paragraphs.
Those of us still using the older versions of Microsoft Word, for example, must be extra vigilant on how their contributions come out when finally published with, say, Word 2010.
Long Live Ghana!!

OPAYIN SIR HON.DR BOKOR.
AS A LEARNED PhD SCHOLAR,PLEASE,YOU SHOULD BE AWARE THAT IN A DEMOCRATIC GOVERNNANCE AND LEADERSHIP, THERE MUST BE A COMPREHENSIVE LOOK AT GOVERNANCE AND THINKING-AND THAT IS INDEPTH CASE STUDIES OF INFRASTRUCTURE,ECONOMIC,JUDICIAL,JOINT-UP GOVERNMENT(PUBLIC SECTOR)EDUCATION,TECHNOLOGY,FINANCIAL AND TAX REFORMS.
ALL THESE ARE MISSING IN KUFFOUR'S MISSION.
UNFORTUNATELY TODAY IN GHANA,THE STATE IS STILL UNSIDELY EDIFICE OF THE NINETEETH-CENTURY GOVERNMENT, BUTTRESSED BY A SUBSTRUCTURE DEVOTED TO THE VERY DIFFERENT IDEA OF GOVERNANCE AND DEMOCRACY HAS SUFFERED.
KUFFOUR SHOULD HAVE DONE HIS HOMWORK FIRST BEFORE DECIDING TO ESTABLISH HIS GOVERNANCE AND LEADERSHIP FOUNDATION IN GHANA.
I AM STILL PUZZLED, WHY IT BECaME POSSIBLE FOR KUFFOUR TO HOUSE HIS FOUNDATION(lIBRARY)ON THE CAMPUS OF THE TWO PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES IN GHANA.
ARE WE NOT STILL IN A MESS.
WE DO STILL HAVE HUGE MOUNTAINS TO CLIMB IN THE COUNTRY.
WE CANNOT GET AHEAD-FALLING BEHIND.

GHANAIAN CANNOT LEARN FROM KUFFOUR WHO CORRUPTED THE NATION, AND RECOMMENDED WITH HUGE BENEFITS IN HIS TIME OF HIS RETIREMENT.
NEVER WILL HIS BAD LEGACY EVER REMAIN RELEVANT IN THE POLITICAL HISTORY OF GHANA.
