Former National Organizer of the main opposition National Democratic Congress [NDC], Kofi Adams says it’s a ‘total waste of time’ to set up a commission of inquiry to investigate the disturbances that marred the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election.
According to him, previous commissions set up by successive governments to investigate similar occurrences were ineffective, claiming they oftentimes did not even come up with “reasonable” findings.
The Vice President, Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia announced that government had set up a Commission of Inquiry to probe circumstances that led to the violence that occurred during the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election.
The Commission was set up with the consent of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo who is out of the country.
A former Commissioner at the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), Justice Emile Short is the Chairperson of the Commission while former Dean of the Faculty of Law of GIMPA and private legal practitioner, Mr. Ernest Kofi Abotsi has been appointed as Secretary to the Commission.
Other members of the Commission are Henrietta Mensah Bonsu and Patrick K. Acheampong.
The setting up of the commission followed the shooting incident that occurred near a La Bawaleshie polling centre that temporarily disrupted the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election and resulted in at least seven persons sustaining injuries.
But speaking on NEAT FM’s evening political program, ‘Torchlight’ – Mr Adams said “This commission of inquiry will not help this country.”
“They don’t come out with any meaning findings after their sitting. There are videos to arrest the offenders and prosecute them. We don’t need any commission of inquiry, government should arrest those in the video and prosecute them, simple!” he told host Mac-Jerry Osei Agyeman .
“This government is not serious with regards to the safety of Ghanaians,” he added.

Kwadwo, please don't waste your precious time to counsel NDC to do the right thing. For, the NDC cannot just do otherwise, they woefully lack the ability to do so. Let them just fritter away their time in dishonest politics of insult, propaganda and diabolically picking up on issues solely to run their opponents down. That is the NDC sense of democratic art of politicking. Sadly, and astonishingly they don't seem to realize that they are losing credibility among the electorates and that if this ostensibility of concealing the real facts behind the plausible facade, so continues, the party NDC would abysmally collapse before it was too late. I rest my case!
Ineptitude and emptiness is what characterizes the NDC. That is why it is difficult to attract people who are educated and with ideas to their party. They don't love knowledge, just emptiness nkoaaa
Oh, so you knew these all the time or just after the 44%? You wasted out time and money. NOTHING good comes from NDC!
Will somebody tell Kofi Adamu that the concert party is over. Another F001
WHAT IS THIS IRRELEVANT KOFI ADAMS SAYING?,THAT MAY BE TO NDC BECAUSE GHANAIANS GOT THE REASONABLE FINDINGS THEY WERE EXPECTING DURING THE BRAZIL WORLD-CUP COMMISSION. YOU KNEW THAT AND NEVER TOLD MAHAMA TO STOP. VERY SOON NDC WILL BE SEEN AS IRRELEVANT PARTY IN GHANA. IS THERE NOBODY IN NDC THAT PUT THESE ELEMENTS LIKE SAM GEORGE, SAMMY GAMFI,KOFI ADAMS,SAMUEL OKUDJATO AND OTHERS TO ORDER. EVEN FIFI KWATEY HAS STOPPED TALKING, CAN'T REST LEARN FROM HIM. ANIMMALS
If NDC members and their executives do not change their lattitude quick,I hope very soon the good people of this country will reject them entirely.The president has asked the CID to investigate and has also set up a commission to look into it and your executives are making disparage remarks about the members of the commission and also discrediting the police.Tell Ghanaians what do you people want.The annoying part is similar incidents have happened in your time and you turned a blind eye to them.
Kofi Adams, it’s been long. Are you also among the prophets.? You’ve been gone for long. Let’s hear from you more not when payback time occurs. Cheers
Including Mahama's Brazil World cup Dzamefe commission which came up with recommendations which John Ford and his NDC govt ignored.
