Dr. Randy Abbey, please be reminded to keep this video recording. In case Okudzeto's party comes to power, and he is made a minister, this video will be played back to him as evidence of his hypocrisy. I used to admire him. I was an ardent admirer of his support for the Akosombo Dam spillage victims until I discovered his self-interests and his angling of the situation to fit into his presidential aspiration. His hypocrisy will come to light very soon. I wish him well in his aspirations. 👋
Ghanaians must learn to call a spade a spade and stop this hypocrisy. for once we have someone who is being tough and asking for transparency and accountability. Same was said about Rawlings when he was doing same.
Honourable Ablakwa was doing his job, and his job was to scrutinise Oppong Nkrumah. The carelessness of the NPP government is becoming too much to handle
I watched the live show after Ablakwa answered, and Nana Akomeah's attack on Sammy is needless after watching it on UA-cam. In my opinion, it's the minister who came with ill motive
Just one day, the dishonesty and Nkwasiasem of these npp folks would have the smoothest levels. I personally sometimes got provoked with their attitudes.
Honestly, Dr Abbey is the only Dr who has really made seen sense in PhD, if half of the journalists in Gh could ask the sort of questions randy does. Trust me we would have exposed a lot of empty minds
Honourable don't mind them. Oppong nkruma should have accorded the chairman respect at least for the position rather than conducting himself as if he was on Wontumi' radio station. The thieves that they are, always looking for a million ways to throw dust into the eyes of some ignorant ghanaians. It won't work this time. Go all out honourable. You have earned your place in Ghana 's history book. Oppong Nkruma shame on you
Hon Ablakwa, I wish to tell you that you and a few NDC guys are the real honorables. We’ve all seen the great work you’re passionately doing for mother Ghana and you’ll go far . Don’t mind this mole and empty Kwadwo Oppong Nkrumah who is only working for his Akyem mafia masters but not Ghana .His records are there for everyone to see in the Agyapadie book. We will deal with that guy ruthlessly. I’m Npp but this is the first time I’m voting against them because I have principles. I feel sorry for oppong Nkrumah since I got to know the kind of work he’s done against Ghana. He’s very dangerous and he will never be forgiven. The Npp guys envy you because you outshine all of them and they can’t stand you for that . Oppong Nkrumah has lost the respect I once had for him and is gone forever!
Go back and read the history of the flooding of your area and Akosombo Dam. The people were compensated to move after series of floods. But they find their way back building houses again.
Ghana politics is a tragic comedy ! I mean how can this radio journo now a minister behave as if there’s nothing on the line when some people have been living in tents in this current hardship for almost a yr meanwhile he’s been given a whopping amount to do something about it
God bless Randy and Ablakwa, very truthful program, I really apologize to Ghanaians for voting this most useless and corrupt government ever been in Ghana. Ahmed Jomo Stavanger Norway.
Ablakwa is too democratic about this issue,its because they from the volta region and don"t speak twi nor vote for npp....just say as it is .......fact is fact opong is only good at one thing and A Plus said it
Mr Ablakwah should have reclused himself as chairman. This was an issue he was actively prosecuting in the public space and it was a bit weird for him to chair the session. It was like he was both judge and prosecutor. It's understandable that he's very passionate about the suffering of his people but he should have got his deputy to chair so that he can question the minister.
Ghanaians must learn to call a spade a spade and stop this hypocrisy. for once we have someone who is being tough and asking for transparency and accountability. Same was said about Rawlings when he was doing same.

@@politicallyafrican6317 is Ablakwa in government or a minister? An mp is only accountable to people in his constituency but a minister is accountable to the whole nation.
Hon. Ablakwa, you started personal attacks on the minister by attacking his integrity. You accused him of being insincere and engaging in political football, etc. These were hasty judgements and attacking the the character of another person which was very unnecessary from you. You could have challenged the minister with your facts, listen to his responses and allow the audience to judge. When you become over-emotional about an issue, that's what happens. You think you're not wrong, but you were wrong with the approach you adopted. I must the minister was even mild. I would have been harder on you if you dare attack my character and integrity. Just ask the necessary questions, and let the people of Ghana judge. Check your emotions.
You speak like someone who has no sense at all. Do you have any idea what those victims are going through? You’re hear talking about personality attacks. If it’s your home that the government has destroyed will you be here protecting the rotten ego of a corrupt politician? Shame on your inhumanity
KON integrity is already under question by Ghanaians we have all seen his character. It is not Ablakwa that is attacking any integrity. In fact KON has no integrity.
@@amisco333 say you or NDC supporter's. They were both wrong and as far as you guys are blaming KON and supporting the bad behaviour of Ablakwa some of us we point it out.

We Ashanti's suffered under your capitation policy for so many years and you saw nothing wrong with that now when the table have turn you are now shouting on top of ur voice as if they have step on your testicles.
The phrase “bully pulpit” cannot be seen as an insult. It just points out that Ablakwa was using his privileged position to haul ministers before the committee to advance his causes. There should be nothing wrong with that a minister acknowledging that privilege.
The point I’m making is that “bully pulpit” phrase does not imply that the one using it is a bully! The phrase is used to encourage US presidents to utilize that privilege for some good. More like using one’s “social capital”. Please google the phrase!
@@Kwame848 I’m quite familiar with the phrase, sir. It’s basically leveraging one’s opportunity or position to advocate a personal agenda. It’s still a contemptuous statement to use for a chairman when in fact, the issues Okudzeto raised were based on assurances that the office of the minister had given to parliament. In any case, it is Oppong Nkrumah who used the opportunity to bring up the issue of the soldiers. Your point is moot. The fact that you claim that Okudzeto is using his platform to merely haul ministers before him to advance his causes clearly means you have no idea how the assurances committee works. These are promises they themselves made to Parliament. Can he do anything outside that scope? No. In that case, is his platform being used as a bully pulpit? That would be a sentimental take. You’re ignoring the fact that if the assurances had been met, they wouldn’t need to be ‘hauled’ before Parliament
Sorry! I’ve been completely misunderstood. The altercation between the two men felt unnecessary to me. Ablakwa was doing what most MPs in his position should do (even if he was advancing his own causes). I hope we can agree on that fact. But Oppong Nkrumah stating the fact that he was using his bully pulpit in that way shouldn’t be seen as an insult. I’d be proud if I were on the receiving end of that Oppong Nkrumah statement. That’s all I aim to point out…
I may be wrong, i understand the funding used in the Appiatse situation was from the insurance cover. The state received the claims and used it to resettle the affected people. Otherwise there would be no show like the dam spillage ooo

Ablakwa must show leadership and stop the bullying tactics. You cannot insult someone and when the person responds in equal measure you tell them to retract. Was it necessary to tell the Minister he was dishonest and forcing him to change his time table of 24 days when you don't know his schedule ? Is Legislators above the executive now?You claim you will let him talk when you wish but you expect him to review the date because you said so. Of all the media houses, you mention TV3 as your witness. Who in this country does not know TV3 is anti government. You were arrogant on that day and you met your age mate who did not fear the baby with sharp teeth.
Telling someone he is being dishonest is an insult ? And when you are giving account to your country and you are put in a tight place it’s it bad ? That is why Ghana is where it is today And you are part of the problem
When u lose ur home and are sleeping in a tent for almost a year, I believe u will appreciate it when a "BULLY" like Hon Ablakwa pushes leaders to treat your predicament with urgency.
