@Kwatriot, for your information, Dr Kwabena Adjei was once a lecturer if u care to know. He lectured at the university of Maiduguri in Nigeria and also at the university of Ghana Legon
One does not have to speak ill of the dead. Of course Dr. Kwabena Adjei has paid his due to the nation but there are questions. Throughout his career, he did not do any work but to be a politician all through. There was absolutely no mention of some jobs he undertook before going into politics. His whole life depended on politics. so my question is, having spent all his life representing the people of Biakoye and taking up government appointments, how did that impact on the life of his people? No proper development in his area, The youth in his area are so disgruntled because of joblessness. everything he did and got went to himself and his close family. yet he is worshipped and not that he is dead, all the good things are going to be said about him. With his chains of degrees and academic credentials, this man couldn't institute anything meaningful for his people. Ghanaians, lets get wise and not allow the politricians to deceive us. They will always be there for themselves and their families only. Anyway may he rest in peace. good bye Wayo, Wayo!! Till we meet again.
May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace
Vanity of vanity. All is vanity. Let's seek the kingdom of God.
May his soul rest in peace. My condolences to the family. hmmmmm
He has paid his dues to mother Ghana. May his soul rest in peace.
