When the Auditor-General indicted the University of Ghana, where was Prof. Gyampo?

PK Sarpong has inquired about the whereabouts of Professor Ransford Gyampo after the Auditor General indicted the University of Ghana.

On Saturday, October 1, 2022, he posted on his official Facebook page:

"Professor Ransford Gyampo has slammed the Akufo-Addo administration for what he calls Ghana's worst misery since 1983. Gyampo's perspective may connect well with the millions of people who did not see the famine of 1983. Thousands of people who witnessed 83 may disagree with him."

According to Prof. Gyampo, the reality is that things are tough. Even the President and his appointees have not refuted this. However, the causes of these difficulties are not domestic, as the government and even the IMF have often stated.

As a result, any objective political scientist or analyst must contextualise the discourse. Gyampo would not have blamed Akufo-Addo if he had been objective. Akufo-Addo is to blame, as has always been his style. PK Sarpong made a statement.

He questioned whether it was not weird that Gyampo's pen or laptop, with which he writes his nice opinion pieces, went to sleep when the Auditor-General cited his school, the University of Ghana, for operating unaccredited courses.

According to the Auditor-2021 General's report, 374 academic programmes at the University of Ghana are unaccredited. 14 of the 374 courses are Diploma programmes, 80 are Undergraduate programmes, 213 are Post-Graduate unaccredited programmes, and 67 are PhD programmes.

P.K Sarpong claimed that once the devastating report was out, Gyampo stopped participating in radio and television conversations. His phones went dead or out of service. When the Auditor-report General implicated the University of Ghana, he lost his terrifying voice.

Ransford Gyampo has found his phone and is joyously criticising President Akufo-Addo today. It all comes down to preferences. Subjective Gyampo must abandon this selective attitude to issues. P.K. Sarpong also contributed.
