I was shocked when I read the above story on one of the news portals yesterday. I must say that Prof. Gyampoh was dead wrong on this, and his criticism of Dr. Bawumia's response to the misguided comments by President Mahama was completely out of order.
The response by the Vice-president was spot on and achieved at least two important objectives.
First, it exposed former President Mahama's complete lack of understanding of the Ghana National Digital Property Addressing System, and secondly, and more importantly, it made others who didn't understand it to get a better and clearer understanding. To these ends, his response was timely and needful.
According to Prof. Gyampoh, "Generally, I am in pain and that the Vice president should go to his posturing as a father of the nation and also take note of the fact that his office is just a heartbeat away from the president. And so some of these things he can leave it to other offices to handle and focus on helping the president to deliver on his promises."
My question to Ransford is simple, which political science theory says that Presidents or Vice-presidents cannot respond to their critics? Several leaders across the globe have at a point in time saw the need to correct misrepresentations, distortions and propaganda about their administrations. Barrack Obama did that, Donald Trump is doing that; in fact, when intelligent leaders speak, they bring clarity to matters raised within the media space, and Dr. Bawumia accomplished that.
Again, for Prof. Gyampoh to state that, it was "completely out of place for the Vice-president, Dr. Bawumia to respond the way he did" was unfortunate and unfair. He did nothing wrong, rather he brought clarity about the intervention on the minds of many. Instead of bringing President Mahama in line, he made Dr. Bawumia the fall guy.
I would wish that, Ransford should be bold and chastise the former president for his needless and insulting comments about this notable intervention that is supposed to change our way of life.

IF BAWUMIA HAVE THE LIKES OF THIS DR. NYARKO BEING HIS ADVISERS , THEN OUR NATION IS IN A SERIOUS TROUBLE.INSTEAD OF YOU ADVISING HIM TO CALM DOWN EVEN AT THE POINT OF PROVOCATION, YOU'RE RATHER INSTIGATING & URGING HIM TO RESPOND TO CRITICISMS. IF BAWUMIA DOES THAT I BET YOU, HE WILL BE REDUCE TO A SERIAL CALLER WHO RESPONSE TO TRIVIALITIES,AND THEREBY LOOSING THE RESPECT AS VICE PRESIDENT. HE SHOULD NOT FOLLOW PEOPLE THIS NYARKO GUY AND HIS PERSONAL AID DR. BOAKO. I HEAR DR. BOAKO IS DR. BAWUMIA'S ADVISER, GOD BLESS MY SOUL! ADVISERS ARE BELIEVED TO BE PEOPLE WHO ACT BEHIND THE SCENE. BUT DR. BOAKO IS MORE THAN INFORMATION AT THE VEEP'S OFFICE. THIS DOCTOR SPEWS GARBAGE CAST INSINUATIONS AND HURL INSULTS ON POLITICAL OPPONENTS ON THE RADIO ANYTIME HE GETS THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK. I BEG TO DIFFER,THAT THIS GUY IS AN ADVISER TO A SITTING VICE PRESIDENT OF A NATION. HIS POSITION SHOULD CHANGED TO BE SERIAL CALLER AT THE VEEP'S OFFICE.
Did i just read a title Dr. Nyarko? Thats an apology of a Dr to say the least. to have posted such a ridiculous rejoinder. Dr. 419 GPS did not set the records straight in the defense he put up in the response to the day light ***barred word*** he perpetrated on the people of Ghana.And i doubt if the two eeediots at the helm of affairs understand the abbreviations App,and GPS. as the president himself is not technological savvy, why wont he just get up from his usual sleeping spree just to go and launch petty stealing initiative?
Bawumia is just great as simple as that.
"NDC have nobody as brilliant like Dr. Bawumia", Spio,Asiedu Nketia and Kwesi Botchwey report so their strategy this time round is to insult him but it wouldn't wash. There is nobody as wise and intelligent in NDC than Bawumia.
Thank you Dr Nyarko
Dr Nyarkoh i doff my hat for you. You have indeed expose the political prof Gyampo who sees nothing wrong with the insult on Dr Bawumia but sees everything wrong with Bawumia's response. We will expose these hypocrites one by one
If a former head of state can be this uninformed about a very important intervention by government and seek to describe it as a scam why shouldn't he be so robustly rebuffed?It is clear Mahama and the NDc does not understand what programme is all about.If Solomon Nkansah,Asiedu Nketsia or any of those nincompoops the NDc seems to be abundantly endowed with had described the project in such unsavoury terms we could have understood. Certainly not someone who has st0len a king's ransom from the national treasury.
Ladies and gentlemen, did anyone anticipate that Dr. Gyampoh would have said anything different? For anyone who cares to know, book knowledge is not synonymous with native wisdom (efie nyansa). If a person allows his hidden political inclination to dictate his reaction to any situation, real or imaginary, that person is bound to show the kind of thinking displayed by Dr. Gyampoh. Period.

Precise and brilliant,Dr. Nyarko!I don't know what Ransford Gyampo sought to achieve on his empty and needless criticism of Dr. Bawumiah's timely respond,and education of ignoran.t and clueless Mr. Mahama on such an important national project.It's painful this corrup.t and incompetent guy trying to criminalize this vital national project.I guess Ransford should have first advised Mr. Mahama on his mischievous and unstatesmanly utterances.
