The President Ghana Never Got

When the President asks a Supreme Court judge to resign and prepare for a promised elevation, the judge asks for a letter based on which to leave his job. The judge is still waiting for that letter when the media name another man for the same job the President promised him. The judge and the “”usurper”” lose the job because of a military-style operation, which the minority caucus in Parliament executes with precision. Ghanaians question why the President yanks a man from a political campaign platform to the high court and elevates him to the Supreme Court under controversial circumstances in less than two years. This book reveals that the contentious Supreme Court appointment is meant to appease the disappointed judge who was promised elevation. Also in this page-turner, Ghana’s leading investigative journalist is granted rare access to the innermost circles of the Akufo-Addo presidency, and he reveals how the man who caused many Ghanaians to hope again became the reason many lost the little faith they had in the nation’s politics and its future before he emerged.
