I’ll Remain the Gyampo You All Know- Prof Gyampo

Political Science lecturer, Prof Ransford Gyampo has pledged to remain vocal and outspoken on critical national issues.

The lecturer was known as a critical critic of the immediate past Government, always dispelling alliance with the National Democratic Congress and affirming his political neutrality.

His acclaimed neutrality has come under scrutiny after he landed an appointment as the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Shippers Authority from President John Dramani Mahama’s administration.

Critics say he will be gagged by the appointment, however, he has asserted his determination to remain vocal, putting the government in check.

“Thank you Prez Mahama; and humbled by the many congratulatory texts. I’ll serve GHANA and remain the YAW GYAMPO that u all know.”

He, however, noted that his neutrality no longer exists.

“There can be no neutrality when one is tasked to help right what is wrong in the service of the NATION.”
