The demonstrator
Ghana, of course, is in
better hands than it was under the previous administration. Lying is the
stock-in-trade of members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and they do
so with a touch of expertise.
Yesterday the party
embarked upon a demonstration against what we would say is ‘the closure to the
public office thievery which characterized their tenure at the helm.’
They are already tired of
being in opposition and the fatigue has driven them to the streets two and half
years after leaving the glitters of the presidency.
They had their say through
the demonstration because, after all, good governance and strict adherence to
the Constitution is the order in the country under the leadership of President
Akufo-Addo. There were neither broken
bones nor casualties by the time they ended their street theatricals which
included bear floor sitting by the party leadership.
During their tenure, such
political activities could easily turn bloody as it did when a New Patriotic Party
(NPP) sympathizer lost an eye in a demonstration during the NDC tenure.
Embattled National
Chairman of the NDC Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo made gestures to indicate a gagged
society. Ghanaians are not gagged. That gesture is shy of the truth.
Ahuto FM, owned by the
party chairman, continues to run political hate programmes, yet nobody has
taken them off air.
The licences of radio
stations that failed to meet the standards of the regulatory authority were
withdrawn and, therefore, to create a contrary impression is to peddle lies and
engage in cheap politics.
Ofosu-Ampofo knows very
well that he is in court because of his dirty plans for election 2020
strategies which, thankfully, are in the public domain.
Which responsible
government voted into power by the people to run the country would fold their
arms and allow activities with the tendencies to compromise the peace of the
country go on without applying the relevant laws.
It can only be imagined
where the country would be if the NDC were still at the helm; the economy was on
the precipice at the time of the elections which completely ousted ex-President
John Mahama from power. The economy was mismanaged by a crop of Ghanaians who
had no clue as to what they were inflicting on the country.
The rule of law prevails
and the economy is now in good hands under the Akufo-Addo government. The
results of its good stewardship are posting positive results two and half years
into its tenure.
When the former Governor
of the Central Bank of Nigeria was here, he did not mince words about his
positive impression about the progress the country is making under its present
managers.
That a country was
virtually run down under the NDC has within two and half years managed to turn
things around is a palpable development which no amount of propaganda and lies
can reverse.
Throwing dust into the
eyes of Ghanaians is no longer the best option and should be discarded by the
NDC as a vote-grabbing strategy. It has outlived its usefulness because
Ghanaians are no longer afflicted by amnesia.
We cannot entrust the
reins of the country into the hands of reckless managers who don’t know how to
raise the country to better heights.
The railway corporation,
long gone moribund, is on the verge of being resuscitated and the National
Health Insurance Scheme on wobbling feet under the NDC is now operating at full
throttle. The dividends
from the flagship projects introduced by the President and his team when they
start visiting the country would jolt the country to further heights.
The President won’t lie to
his compatriots, he has promised.
