The Charade of a failed President!
I’ve generally refrained from overtly criticizing this President and his predecessors, because I’ve always perceived them as very bad bill of goods. Hence, it was patently unfair to criticize a man whose maximum ambition was to become a member of parliament (MP), suddenly stumped into national limelight by head honcho Maximus. This was a bad dream.
But that was then, and this is now. This clueless MP turned deputy minister, turned minister, turned vice president has now been President a year going. That is a lifetime in politics;and if he were learning on the job- he should be an expert now. Indeed, he is already showing the worst traits of a political operator. This man is playing hard. He has a new swagger in his steps, but they seem to be swagger of missteps – the worst lessons a student of politics can pick up in this school of hard knocks.
Ghana definitely has never had it this bad. When in the history of Ghana, has our Government been so broke it cannot pay state allocations? This was not even a possibility under the military. Now under this administration, every thing is in arrears. Contractors and civil servants are not being paid; yet this President is the first to get on international jamboree, modelling for the world and staying in expensive hotels in the world capitals. What a joke!
Ghana now stands at a crossroad where we have our own leaders bankrupting the nation; note this is remarkably different from stealing. You can steal profits, income and cashflow- but when you undermine the asset (the goose that lay the golden egg) then you’re bankrupting the company.
Ghana cannot afford another four years of this; we can do better than the charade now going on in Accra. We’ve never had it this bad. If the stealing were bad, check the great rise of insecurity in the land. If Ghana allows this charade to continue beyond 2016, it will be our fault.
