It is very unfortunate how we are playing on the blind side of democracy and dismantling our beautiful country, Ghana with our own hands.
Over the past years, some of our lawmakers have behaved as if they are more human than ordinary Ghanaians, which is very bad.
Day in and day out, we create false scandals just to disgrace the ruling government, but end up tarnishing the image of our beloved country.
What do you chance to get after all this cheap propaganda?
It seems many of us are practicing the other side of democracy by in engaging political gimmicks just to make our supporters happy
It’s amazing how the embarrassing defeat of our recent 2024 general election sent the ruling government home and down its super-majority into a micro minority this history in the fourth republic is a wake-up call but some politicians find it difficult to believe and heal from this disgrace and thereby trying to paint an incubate government in office for mere 100 days as names.
We would have experienced more woes if the candidate of the ruling party, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, hadn’t come out earlier to concede defeat; even though he did, we witnessed some discrepancies at some polling centers.
Is this the democracy we practicing??
We are gradually destroying the future of our beautiful country forgotten we have no other places to call our own.
Lawmakers fight while administering their official duties in broad daylight, live on camera, and their case is tackled in the inner room with no punishment just because they enjoy special amenities or are superhuman than citizens.
We all witnessed how the outgoing government’s style of arrest became the other of the day, an inhuman approach system we tag, *Rambo style* of arrest over the eight years, how sitting member of Parliament for Odododiodo constituency Nii Lantey Vandapour was picked up in a Rambo style as if we are in Banana Republic, not to talk about how Madina M. P Francis Xavier Sosu was chased out of his house by security operative but his colleague never did press conference.
How citizens who lawfully exhibited their democratic right by peaceful demonstration were later abused and tortured all in the name of *order from above* people were arrested for criticizing the outgoing government and nobody could talk in this country from our chiefs, clergymen, and experts were all quite and we endure the eight years and voted for change,
Not for the minority to be slandering the government of the day with false scandals like what we are witnessing.
Making a drug and money laundering is a very serious allegation and needs all hands on board, for the people of Ghana are very interested in the outcome of this investigation.
Despite the Ghana Airport Company Limited GACL having issued a press statement denouncing the wild claim, Rev. Ntim Fordjour is very stubborn and proudly stands his ground but runs when state security wants him to provide evidence for his allegations.
The childish hide-and-seek game some politicians are playing with this serious issue is unlawful.
Rev. Ntim must be arrested or avail himself for the investigation to substantiate his wild claims with enough evidence, not to shift the goalposts when he notices the tension is very high on him.
The minority seems to have run out of press conference topics and restored, elevating false scandals to tarnish the image of the government of the day with mere suspicion without checks just to impress the low-thinking ones who can’t read between the lines.
The fact that we have *freedom of speech doesn’t guarantee freedom of speech* MP for Assin South Ntim Fordjour can play on our intelligence and be gallivanting free like He owns or controls the country. He should come clean and apologize to Ghanaians whether or not he was present at the airport at the said time or was given the information but failed to crosscheck before publishing it.
Our beautiful country deserves that respect, and not a cheap politic or false scandal the MP for Assin South is parading off.
We demand some sanity in our media space with regulations as the honorable minister for communication has assured us very soon it is going to effect.
It’s time we understand that once the election is over, let all rally and support the government in power to execute his mandatory business of the day in the right way and stop this cheap politic of interest.
To embrace the reputation and credibility of our country to the international community, it’s offensive Ghana, the rising star of Africa, deserves the best form of democracy,cy, not political democracies.
