I keep saying that it is not easy to go looking for what IMANI did when NPP was in power. Any serious student of history and journalism can do this simple fact checking, but alas why I 'm I surprised? This is not what obtains in Ghana. It does appear and will always be that one party will be more of a delinquent than the other and particularly how that party takes criticisms reflects the calibre of people it has. During Kufour's regime, the President himself was orderly and charged his appointees, more matured and well versed in the art of governance to be circumspect of how they responded to critics. So in spite of some of the following harsher criticisms that came from IMANI, the response of the Kufour administration was rather matured. See some of IMANI�s harder criticism of Kufour�s government Ghanaian Government blows more than $1.4m on gold medals. http://www.modernghana.com/news/174236/1/ghanaian-government-blows-more-than-14m-on-gold-me.html Feature Article of Thursday, 10 May 2007 Columnist: Cudjoe, Franklin Deceit, Darkness and Light http://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/features/artikel.php?ID=123696 Africa's elite set to blow G-8 windfall http://www.modernghana.com/news/117747/1/africas-elite-set-to-blow-g-8-windfall.html Direct Cash for the Poor-Ghana's grand centrally planned waste. http://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/artikel.php?ID=138450 Of Floods, Drought and Energy Crisis- Leave Climate Change Alone! http://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/features/artikel.php?ID=125412 E-Zwich becoming a Colossal Waste of Resources? http://news.myjoyonline.com/business/201002/41737.asp MONEY SAVING TIP FOR GHANA GOVERNMENT http://www.modernghana.com/news/177552/1/money-saving-tip-for-ghana-government.html When corporate social responsibility stinks: Corporate Ghana@50years. http://www.modernghana.com/news/123309/1/when-corporate-social-responsibility-stinks-corpor.html Franklin Cudjoe: When Perceived Voter's Wish List Reigns http://africanliberty.org/node/19 Why Ghana Remains Under-Developed - A Rejoinder! http://www.modernghana.com/news/115021/1/why-ghana-remains-under-developed-a-rejoinder.html You can even fast forward to the NPP's Nana Addo who WAS not in POWER but had his Free SHS policy chopped into pieces ONLY BY IMANI, the think tank, with six major articles against it and 36 media appearances. Then again, NO SINGLE MEMBER OF THE NPP insulted IMANI except Kennedy Agyapong who said in desperation "IMANI can go to hell". Now folks you all know what the NDC since 2009 has done to all critics. Either some are mercenaries, sell outs, spies, false prophets, saboteurs, ghosts, fetish priests and priestesses and quite frankly very base remarks and yet there is NO OFFICIAL SANCTION OF THE PERSONS WHO DO THESE THINGS.

IMANI NEVER PRAISED THE NPP UNDER KUFOUR FOR ANY OF THEIR WISE ACTIONS IT TOOK. Read the below and I hope this ends the funny analogy that IMANI unfairly criticises the NDC!!
