GHANA IS NOT A JUNGLE!
If a politician needs to buy you food for you to vote for him, it means he has succeeded at starving you to make your vote worth a meal. And if politicians make themselves the source of food of the ordinary citizens, they will always be attacked when the citizens feel hungry.
What kind of country are we building for ourselves and posterity? Are we really committed to the democracy we so much do lip service to? How many times do party affiliates have to offend social normalcy before they are equally dealt with?
A bandwagon of a vigilante group because they are affiliated to political parties can do whatever they want? And how many vigilante attacks have happened since the inception of Ghana's young democracy particularly under the watch of this NPP government? When will we finally deal with such a dangerous social canker that has the potential to clampdown our democracy?
No vigilante group is bigger than this country nor are they above it’s laws. Neither Delta force, Azorka boys nor any other vigilante groups pro NPP or NDC is worth betting our democracy on?
The youths of this country need sensitizing that they can’t bet all their hopes on the vague promises of politicians.
If a vigilante group can storm a court room to disrupt a court proceedings, such blatant disregard and disrespect towards the judiciary is completely abhorring and unacceptable. If vigilante groups are able to force governments to change their nominees, if a vigilante group can chase public officials from their offices and also engage in so many other unlawful perpetrations without a stiff punishment meted out to them to serve as deterrent to others, then what kind of lawful country are we building?
The denial of history is the denial of self respect and progress because your history shows you what works for your good and otherwise. Ghana doesn’t want to go back to the days of , Kotoka, Acheampong, etc where coup was the order of the day. We have moved away from that.
Ghana is not for any one political party nor is it for any group of politicians. Ghana is for all of us. It’s the only country we have and we must do everything within our capacity to protect its peace and sanctity as a democratic country. We can’t afford to compromise on any standards.
As a country, we need to be brutally honest with ourselves. We must at all times not just do lip service to the well being of this country but also especially act in its best interest.
