Since my conscience will not allow me to remain silent, in the face
of a blatant attempt to deprive an old widow of 86, of her
property (plot No. B90, Labone), I am firing off this
if-the-cap-fits-wear-it-piece to warn those attempting this outrage.
I am doing so, because the recounting of her
plight by an elderly pensioner (aged 86) - who seventeen years or
so ago was made to sign a document that effectively deprived her of her own
house at Labone for over a decade and a half, because of her kind-heartedness -
moved me to tears.
That shabby story, illustrates perfectly how so many
Ghanaian professionals aren't guided by the ethics of their profession in their
everyday dealings with ordinary people.
How would one describe individuals who choose to
repay an honest woman who gave out her own house to save
their business - without a pesewa being paid her in compensation for her
extraordinary act of kindness - by yet again asking her to sign away the
remainder of the government-granted 99-year lease for no compensation, when the
property leased by her to save their business, ought to have reverted to
her two years ago: the lease having expired for that length of time?
That 86 year old pensioner, is now in an agitated
state and highly stressed - because she has been handed the most outrageous
legal document covering the purchase of a leasehold, that I have ever
come across, to sign.
It appears that the period for the leasing of her
Labone property - which she was made to sign years ago without her
being told the full implication of what she was doing - has now
lapsed.
Yet, she is being asked to sign away the rest of the
remainder of the 99 year lease - again without any financial compensation
whatsoever.
Naturally, the brave old lady refuses to sign away her
property yet again, at what is the evening of her life. She is adamant that her
signature will never be appended to that monstrous document.
So, for now, dear reader, I am asking the
people involved in this shabby story of unfathomable greed and unparalleled
ruthlessness, to immediately cease what amounts to the mental torture of a
helpless old lady of 86, and ensure that the noble lady gets her property at
plot B90 Labone back immediately.
Though I am loathe to do so, they must know that if need be,
I will not hesitate to ensure that the whole world gets to know
the identities of people who should be protecting of widows and orphans - but
as we speak are rather attempting what effectively amounts to the
defrauding of an old widow: in a conspiracy to
deprive her of her property situated at plot B90, Labone.
To each one of them, I simply say: Hands
off plot B90, Labone! A word to
the wise...
