Audio Attachment:Liste to Kweku Baako Jnr. |
Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide, Kweku Baako has issued a stern warning to critics attacking his political integrity.
Speaking on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo' on the issue of agreement between the Government of Ghana and the US where the latter is reportedly planning to set up a Military base in the country, Kweku Baako recounted instances where people have challenged his method of engaging in political discourse and so wondered why the critics would have him act to perhaps suit their desires.
Asked for his thoughts on assertions by Deputy General Secretary for the NDC, Koku Anyidoho, that he (Baako) walks around with ‘fake’ and ‘expired’ documents which he flaunts around to create the illusion that he always has facts on every topical issue that emerges in the country, Mr Baako, in a terse reply said his "standing order" not to "dignify buffoonery of intellectually impotent" politicians with a reaction, "still stands".
Mr. Anyidoho, in an interview with Ghanaweb, had expressed surprise at how much information Mr. Baako has access to considering he admitted having dropped out of school at the basic level.
“....As for Baako he’s a spent force, carrying all kinds of fake documents around. Some of those papers that he’s carrying, they are dead news, people retracted, people apologized but he still carries them around as documents, then he says he has documents...This Kweku Baako guy, he sits down, they feed him with information from National Security then he comes on radio. He is able to predict even decisions to be taken by judges in court. Meanwhile he is the same person that says that he is ‘book short’...," the NDC stalwart said.
But the seasoned journalist pointed out that he is a "realist and a pragmatist", therefore his approach in broaching political issues affecting the nation is different.
“I’m a realist and I’m a pragmatist in terms of how I go about doing my politics. I decide how to go about it. Nobody has any right or ability or even capability to dictate to Kweku Baako how to do his politics”, he warned.
" . . the truth is that I have decided not to dignify the buffoonery of intellectually impotent political midgets and windbags with any serious reaction because it will be a sheer waste of precious time and space; it is a conscious decision. That standing order still stands”, he emphasized.
Having said this without mincing words, Mr. Baako went ahead to address some misconceptions by the Minority in Parliament of the opposition National Democratic Congress on the agreement.
He highlighted statements made by the Minority and some critics that the agreement by the government for a US Military base to be established in the country may undermine the sovereignty of the country.
Giving some historical facts regarding the agreement, Kweku Baako sought to remind the Minority that the privileges they're crying foul about in the agreement began during their era and asked why they would make a detour to blame the Akufo-Addo government.
“I’m pointing it out to the Minority that if they didn’t know or if they’re pretending they didn’t know, the thing that they’ve highlighted as a scandalous and a serious assault on our sovereignty; if they were being consistent and principled” they would have realized it was already existing and say that “perhaps it was bad then, so let’s remove it now. At least you come with some integrity and not selective amnesia”.

@Asem b3ba dabi u are absolutely right... soon you will have the uneducated nkrasifou who dont discern what baako says to insult you. First off if all NDC stand for was wrong, why will the NPP continue this contract..just back off. But now that all Ghanaian are angry with that, you turn around and blame NDC. When good things happen Kweku will praise NPP when they goof, he will goo back as 1980's to blame PNDC/NDC..all unbiased and discerning Ghanaian know that you are in the deep pockets of NPP and yu are not fair as you claim
Kweku Baako usually insult people whenever he is being criticized or challenged. It is not the best. He criticizes people but doesn't want to be criticized. Kweku you are not the only intellectual in Ghana so take it easy when people criticise your arguements. You are too embedded in NPP politics. I used to to like your discussions very much wnen i was in the University but of late, it seems you always support anything the NPP does. You are becoming more like a politician than a social or political commentator. Politicians are dangerous and treacherous. They have have destroyed businessmen and even university professors like Naana Jane Opoku Agyeman. Becareful, if not the politicians you are defending today will end up destroying your life. Look at RLG Raymond Agambire. He is totally off the business circus.
Best Journalist so far by my estimation and respected by all the presidents. Very Analytical and factually accurate. All the political parties respects his opinion and that's why they are edging him to write a book. Very objective and has told the world who he will vote for unlike other Journalists who will not disclose where they belong but will find fault with only one political party..
I wonder if any of these NDC commentators understood the import of Kweku Baako's statement? That party is filled with many illiterates, ***barred word*** and criminals. As for "Mr Comfortable Lead" his low level of thinking and intelligence can never be doubted. He hardly make any sense when he open his mouth.
BAAKO U ARE A BIG LIAR AND HYPOCRYTE U AND KSK U THINK U KNOW MORE THAN EVERYBODY IN GHANA.WHERE DO U EVEN GET THE MALIK, JUST BCOS OF AYISHA PART OF YOUR HYPOCRACY.
BAAKO IS A COMPLETE HYPOCRYTE, IS ALSO A STOMACH JOURNALIST. THEY SHOULD CONTINUE TO DO WHAT IS WRONG SYMPLY BECAUSE THE LAST ADMINISTRATION DID IT? IS THAT WHAT STOMACH JOURNALIST BAAKO IS SAYING? WHAT IS BAD IS BAD. DON'T SELL GHANA AND LATER REGRET IT BECAUSE YOU ARE HUNGRY TODAY!!!
Big English will not change the fact that you are a liar and. You only hide behind those big English to perpetrate falsehood.
WHO EVEN LISTERN TO THIS ONE SIDED POLITICAL BIAS KWAKU BAAKO IS ONLY NPP WHO LISTER TO HIM AND HIS LINE OF ARGUMENT DOES NOT NOT MAKE ANY INPACT IN GHANA POLITICS .
These NDC people are hypocrates... John Ford Mahama took bribe and quietly brought gitmo 2 to the country without parliamentary approval....
