#Brochuregate: President Mahama's Regime Must Tell Ghanaians The Whole Truth

Is #Brochuregate a terrible nightmare, from which one will soon awaken, one wonders - or is it an actual tragedy that befell our country on the day it celebrated its fifty-ninth anniversary as an independent African nation-state?

Perchance, was the printing company which the presidency used to print those confounded 59th Independence Day anniversary parade brochures,  infiltrated by someone evil, who was planted there by those busy sabotaging the nation-building effort, for political gain, at the expense of ordinary people in Ghana?

And did he or she  see an opportunity to embarrass the government, and swiftly took it, one wonders - if some of the conspiracy theorists in our midst are to be believed, that is?

The Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) ought to investigate that possibility: and either rule it out or in as the case might be - as it would amount to treason if that indeed is what occurred.

Or, is it simply the case that educational standards in Ghana have fallen so abysmally low, that the English language can be crucified in such brutal and undignified fashion, and such esoteric-Kweku-Ananse-geography inflicted on the world, as well, in a simple brochure outlining the ceremonial order for the 59th Independence Day anniversary parade, addressed by both President Mahama and Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta?

It is hard to believe that people at the heart of the presidency in Nkrumah's Ghana, who had ultimate responsibility for that unspeakable monstrosity, could bring such shame on our beloved country - as a result of their monumental incompetence.

How is it possible for such third-rate individuals to play significant roles in the governing of our country, I ask?

President Mahama's regime has a lot to answer for in this scandalous and shabby affair.

To mollify the nation, Mahama's Cabinet's members should demand that the President sacks Stan Dogbe immediately: and rid their regime of his baleful influence at the presidency - before the next of his hare-brained schemes permanently sinks their regime.

The question is: What exactly does Stanley Dogbe do for President Mahama that the president is either unwilling, or unable, to sack that genius from his administration - despite the many calls by well-meaning and patriotic Ghanaians for his dismissal?

An otherwise memorable occasion has now been ruined in the memories carried by many who watched the parade - both at the Independence Square and on television around the world - who when they look back to that impressive parade, will now only remember #Brochuregate.

Well, now the President's hard-of-hearing regime is reaping the whirlwind - and it serves them right. They have brought this upon themselves. Why allow such amoral young people, who have no principles and lack integrity, to operate from the heart of the presidency, I ask?

Since the proverbial buck ultimately stops with him, this time round, President Mahama must personally tell Ghanaians, how it came about that a simple printing job that the Information Services Department had hitherto been responsible for,  for decades, was suddenly taken from them by the presidency, and given out to a private entity to print. Who exactly owns that private printing press, one wonders?

And what exactly is the connection between Stan Dogbe and the owners of that particular printing press, if any?

Furthermore, President Mahama must tell Ghanaians precisely how much those shameful and abominable brochures cost taxpayers - and whether or not the job was put out to tender: or sole-sourced as usual as yet another create-loot-and-share scheme to enrich some of his acolytes?

Above all, was another state-owned entity inveigled into paying for it, so that those confounded geniuses could lie through their teeth, and tell Ghanaians that no "government money was involved" in the payment of those sodden brochures?

The printing press and its promoters must be blacklisted - and must never be allowed to bid for government contracts again. Ever. Period.

President  Mahama should not treat this unpardonable  disgrace brought upon our country, by the Machiavellian Stan Dogbe, and his amoral and incompetent underlings, as some terrible joke - and leave it in the hands of the Chief of Staff at the presidency to investigate and report back to him: so that that too can be shelved by his regime as it is wont to in such cases.

Those geniuses at the presidency have made our country a laughing stock around the world. That is why President Mahama must ensure that Ghanaians are told nothing but the truth, and only the whole truth, about this shabby story of hard-to-believe-incompetence, emanating from the very heart of his regime.

If greed and selfishness are what motivated them, then the President must make sure that all those involved in the  #Brochuregate scandal are sacked immediately from his government - and ordered to refund the full amount involved to taxpayers.

And if any public procurement laws were broken in this outrage, the good people of Ghana expect Stan Dogbe & Co to be prosecuted, and jailed, for their egregious crime against Mother Ghana. Enough is enough. Haaba.

In the matter of #Brochuregate, Ghanaians expect nothing less than a full disclosure of all the pertinent facts, from President Mahama and his hard-of-hearing administration. Ghanaians want to hear nothing but the whole truth about this scandalous and shabby affair.
