Who Is More Violent, Akufo-Addo Or Alan Kyerematen?

He keeps being erroneously referred to as "a leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP)." But for most of the time that the leadership of the party has been slugging it out with the National Democratic Congress' bullies and thuggocrats, he has been far away in the United States cooling his heels and fraudulently scheming with a fellow Ghanaian business partner in the illegal use of his medical-practice license, the way car owners rent out their vehicles to hackers - or work-a-day taxi drivers - for cutthroat fees.

Law-enforcement officials in Orangeburg, South Carolina, call this racket an epic case of greed. Like a Colombian drug cartel kingpin, literally caught with his pants down, hung and all, Dr. Arthur Kobina Kennedy would claim to have had his professional-practice identity stolen by Dr. Ernest Osei-Addo, his longtime buddy. The fact of the matter is that you simply don't voluntarily give your medical-practice documents to somebody and then, legally faced with the errors of your ways, turn round to claim they were stolen from you.

That is called a fraudulent lie. And you guessed right, Dr. Arthur Kobina Kennedy is a certified liar and a congenital fraud. And no one should be surprised if one of these days he gets sentenced to a prison term. His whole life, from the acquisition of his name to his professional practice as a physician, has been one big lie. For example, in the lead-up to the New Patriotic Party's Super-Delegates' Congress, Dr. Kennedy, also popularly known as Dr. McHypocrite, accused the presumptive NPP presidential candidate for Election 2016, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, of having hired some hoodlums and thugs to cause violence and mayhem at the party's headquarters.

But dear reader, you know what? Even Mr. Alan John Kwadwo "Quitman" Kyerematen's backer and New Patriotic Party Chairman Paul Afoko, publicly and categorically accused the key operatives of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) of having sponsored such wanton act of barbarism and mayhem. And Mr. Afoko ought to know what he is talking about more than Dr. McHypocrite or anyone else, for that matter. For like his former boss, Alan Cash, as Mr. Kyerematen is popularly known, Mr. Afoko is widely alleged to be in the pay of the key operatives of the Rawlings-minted National Democratic Congress, as has Mr. Kwabena Agyapong, another Kyerematen journeyman and General-Secretary of the NPP, been similarly fingered in recent months.

Interestingly, Dr. Kennedy would shortly emerge out of his newly acquired foxhole in Irmo, South Carolina, to apologetically state that he had absolutely no evidence, whatsoever, linking Nana Akufo-Addo to the most recent acts of violence that rocked the New Patriotic Party headquarters. And yet this political mercenary would have the resoundingly trounced Mr. Kyerematen call out Nana Akufo-Addo on the latter's supposedly violent political past. Dr. Kennedy has mentioned Atiwa (Atweredu), the Akyem-Abuakwa constituency in which yours truly had his first-grade education, as a striking example of Nana Akufo-Addo's violent past.

Well, for those of our readers who may not readily recall the same, Atiwa refers to the brutal vehicular mowing down of scores of innocent Ghanaian citizens attempting to legitimately exercise their franchise by Ms. Anita DeSouza, the Women's Organizer of the National Democratic Congress. In that bloody incident, it was actually the staunch and core party supporters of Nana Akufo-Addo who were brutally assaulted by hired thugs and goons of the National Democratic Congress.

In short, were Dr. Kennedy not a paid NDC mole and rabid propagandist, why would he be so caustically faulting Nana Akufo-Addo for such a legally and morally inexcusable crime committed against his own people by the Keta-Sogakope Trokosi Nationalists? And guess what? This paid NDC hack decked in NPP colors has the nerve to claim to be madly in love with Nana Akufo-Addo. Could have fooled me, Dr. Identity Peddler!
