Political Immaturity In Ghana

 


I sense alot of immaturity in our Ghanaian politics it's as if our Politicians don't know their left from their right. I don't exclude anyone. How can you pay allowances that are not supposed to be paid, it is then refunded and some are calling for audit and that former first ladies should also return their allowances? 

The whole system is confused and nobody knows what is right or wrong. It has to take one politician to wake up from bed early in the morning, find a loop hole in an area in the system goes to parliament, raises the issue and the whole of Ghana will sway to that direction. Opposition will also go and sleep think about it come back another time and raise a rebuttal and the whole country moves in another direction. 

It then become a subject of discussion, social media will also takeover and the whole nation's focus is shifted to something that doesn't contribute to economic growth and development. It adds nothing to our per capita income and GDP. After the whole confusion is sorted out, we carry our portmanteau outside to go and borrow. What waste of idealogical thinking and economic prowess! 

Our local media Journalist will also be making a fuzz of it on radio and TV, everyone is expressing their opinion not based on facts but sentiments and politics. It's a very muddy situation and we need some decency, decorum and political serenity. For years the whole country has been acting unconstitutional by paying presidential spousal allowances and we are not ashamed of this but rather we want to be making politics out of it instead of correcting the situation.

So Rebecca Akufo-Addo and Samira Bawumia didn't know they were not entitled to allowances but they collected it and now they are returning it? I mean let us get serious here, this is a whole country and those governing us don't know if money must be paid or not so now they make a mistake by paying and now it is normal for the beneficiaries to refund it and it looks okay. How many more mistakes of payment have we made as a country?

A whole Minister of Information is asking when Lodina Mahama will refund hers? Do we have a leader at all in Ghana and do we understand governance and payments? In all this the one that should bear the greatest blame is Controller and Accountant General but nobody is talking about them. 

As Accountants, what authorization did they have to be paying allowances to first and second ladies? What legal basis do they have for paying presidential spousal allowance? If someone can just take Controller and Accountant General to court over this issue, public servants and civil servants payments will follow the right procedure the next time.

Banger Alert: Kwe's "Link Up" Featuring King Jerry

Image
  Well, just before we could finish enjoying the "Ghana Boy" EP and fully digest the "Pele" song from Kwe another new banger has dropped from his camp titled "Link Up" featuring the ever versatile Ga singer, songwriter and record producer, King Jerry.  These two musical giants with their back to back hits have teamed up to give song lovers what they deserve. The banger "Link Up" sees the ever smooth singing voice of King Jerry lacing the track with very beautiful choruses, interjections and song remarks fused with modern day real rap delivered to perfection with Kwe's addition to the flow.  It's an Afrobeats hip hop kind of groove with the night clubbing atmosphere jamming to it in the background. It basically praises the ever gifted, endowed and curvy nature of our beautiful ladies and at the same time teases music lovers to link up at the joint for a good treatment as all their expectations will be met. Cash is not a problem because the...

KENNEDY AGYAPONG CAN BEAT MAHAMA HANDS DOWN

Image
The late Christian Atsu was asked which defender made his balling days terrible? He said Harrison Afful. The guy is not really much recognized and spoken much of but he can trouble strikers. He is very hard to dribble and he disorganises game plans of opponents. You see, many have not paid attention to him but technical coaches know his worth.  This is exactly what Kennedy Agyapong will do to Mahama if he is given the nod. He will really disorganize the game plan of NDC and dilute all their messages with water. This is what NPP needs if they want to retain power not that we want them in power though. They have messed up enough. I am just making my objective submissions regardless of politics.  Dr. Bawumia is very intelligent but he should still be a vice president under Kennedy Agyapong if they really want to trouble NDC. The only NPP man that can match Mahama boot for boot is Kennedy Agyapong. Akufo-Addo won not because he was tough, Ghanaians were just fed up with the "corru...

Nzema Community Fuming With Fire Over Prof. Gadzekpo's Comment On LGBTQ+

Image
 Well I don't know whether to finally admit that school knowledge doesn't necessarily make you a wise person in life as clearly Professor Audrey Gadzekpo in her recent comment about the LGBTQ+ anti-gay bill has gotten to prove that point very clearly.  In her comments she claims as a research person and a professor she knows the cultures of two particular tribes in Ghana being the Ga people and Nzema people accept gays. This comment by her doesn't sit well at all with my people. Yes, I said my people because I myself I am an Nzema from Princess Town in the Western Region.  I don't know how old the Professor is herself to be making that assertion or the evidences she has to be justifying that kind of comment but in my more than four decades of existence on earth never have I for once heard that our culture as Nzema people accept gays as part of our culture. I can confidently and emphatically say the Professor has lied and has not applied common sense at all in making suc...
