Ghana Is Slowly Being Ruined By An Elite-Rip-off-Culture - Underpinned By Unfathomable Greed

The phenomenon that is Martin Amidu, Ghana's former Attorney General, offers patriotic Ghanaians (of every imaginable  political hue), a tantalising view of what Ghana would be like, under a truly principled  and fearless anti-corruption-crusading president.



Thanks to Martin Amidu, the   outrageous,  nation-wrecking  Alchemist's-fool's-gold attempt,  by Zenith  Bank Ghana Limited,  to turn a toxic loan to  Balkan Energy into  a balance-sheet asset,  at Ghana's expense, is now public knowledge.



It will make it that much harder for the powerful crooks in the Mills administration, to allow  Ghana to be short-changed by Zenith  Bank Ghana Limited and its roguish rip-off-merchant clients,  that sodden Balkan Energy.



Their nearly-successful  behind-the-scenes sleight-of-hand manoeuvre,  using an  unpatriotic National Democratic Congress (NDC)  lobbyist, to try and get the government of Ghana to agree to an out of court settlement,  of an attempted  rip-off of Mother Ghana (of gargantuan proportions)  by Balkan Energy - in which the government  had an "iron-clad case" (to quote Martin Amidu) - will now almost certainly fail.




And it is thanks to the brave and principled  Martin Amidu. (God bless him - and protect him from his enemies.)



That is how things ought to be in our country - which is slowly being ruined by an elite-rip-off culture:  underpinned by unfathomable greed.



And that is   why we must all join Martin Amidu's anti-corruption crusade.



Alas, it is pretty obvious,   reading between the lines in his press releases,  that he is being put under tremendous pressure,  to keep quiet, by senior Establishment figures whom he obviously respects. Heaven help our country.
