A Government Of National Unity, Not The NPP, Is The Alternative To The NDC

If all Ghana's registered voters were rational and intelligent beings, and deep thinkers, they would vote massively for the only presidential candidate who has signaled  his intention to form a government of national unity, consisting of the finest minds in Ghana, regardless of their political backgrounds, if elected.

All such Ghanaians - where they currently live notwithstanding (be it here at home in Ghana or abroad elsewhere in the Diaspora) - would be considered for appointment to that national unity government. That is what Ghana actually needs.

What our nation most definitely does not need, is a handover of power from one of the two constituent political parties, which make up the deceitful and hypocritical NDC/NPP duopoly, to the other.

That will be disastrous for our homeland Ghana - for nothing much will change then. And high-level corruption will become even more rampant and rapacious. It is therefore important for ordinary people in Ghana to be wary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

They must not  be beguiled by the many NPP hypocrites who talk endlessly about high-level corruption under the National Democratic Congress (NDC) regime of President Mahama - but have thus far refused to publicly publish their own assets and those of their spouses: as a sign of their good intentions in seeking power to govern our homeland Ghana.

No wise voter should help elect such disarming-dissemblers into power ever again - especially when they criss-cross the nation making absurd empty-promises that they themselves know perfectly well will not be kept should they win power, in the December elections (God forbid!). What perfidy.

It is an indictment of the media in Ghana that journalists seldom point out the fact that politicians criticising others for being corrupt, who themselves refuse to publicly publish their assets and those of their spouses, must not be trusted either by voters.

Why are the media in Ghana so blinkered in that respect, I ask? What happened to the trillions of old Ghana cedis of HIPC funds that simply disappeared into the ether when the NPP ruled Ghana for 8 solid years?

Who does not remember the unfathomable greed of the well-connected gang-of-hypocrites, who profited mightily from the massive high-level corruption, which was so rampant during the NPP's 8 years in power - that catastrophe for our country otherwise  referred to by some as the golden age of business for Kufuor & Co?

So why is the media giving the NPP a free pass to power - when there is the real possibility that an even  greedier cabal - a Mk-2 gang-of-hypocrites - will surpass even Kufuor & Co's brutal gang-rape of Mother Ghana? Why do the Ghanaian media suddenly see nothing, hear nothing and say nothing when it comes to highlighting the miasma that envelopes the handling of the NPP's finances by Freddy Blay & Co, I ask?

If the greater part of the Ghanaian media were not themselves so egregiously corrupt, perhaps Ghana would not be failing to make much headway, in terms of raising the living standards of the base-of-the-pyramid poor - as most journalists who interact with politicians in the public space would be pressuring our political class to work harder and be more honest in governing Ghana. Pity.

The question is: If it is in the supreme national interest that the selfless and honest Nduom becomes Ghana's president after the elections - rather than either President Mahama or Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo who lead the dreadful NDC/NPP duopoly - why then are responsible and patriotic journalists not making that point to voters, and advising them to plump for Nduom in the presidential election, I ask: especially when Nduom is committed to probing all the regimes that have held power since the 4th Republic came into being?

Would that not help Ghana to claw back some of the zillions of Ghana cedis of stolen taxpayers' money, salted away by the many crooks-in-high-places who participated in the gang-rape of Mother Ghana, whiles in power?

A direct result of the lack of close media scrutiny in Ghana, is that despite both the two parties that make up the NDC/NPP duopoly having been in power before  - and governing our homeland Ghana between them for all of the 24-year period since the 4th Republic came into being - our nation has still not fulfilled even a quarter of its full potential yet: and, alas,  Mother Ghana still continues to mark time,  unfortunately.

Yet many politicians and their business cronies have profited hugely from high-level corruption over the years, and their personal net worth risen to stratospheric heights - in inverse proportion to falling living standards and the continuing impoverishment of millions of ordinary people across the nation. Amazing.

To lull the minds of ordinary people to sleep,  many of those in power in Ghana, often resort to propaganda - churned out on their behalf by their unprincipled rented-press and their conscienceless bought-media outlets - to hide their animal-farm-philosophy of governance: in which ordinary people are constantly asked to make never-ending sacrifices for a better tomorrow that never comes, whiles lucky fatcats across the nation grow super-rich, through sole-sourcing public procurement deals.

It is the reason why so many of those who have been in power in Ghana, since the return to constitutional democracy, in 1992, have always dabbled in the dark arts of the politricks-of-equalisation - in which failed politicians play the blame-game: to cover up their abject failure to improve the quality of life of the teeming millions of marginalised fellow citizens trapped in the bottom strata of Ghanaian society.

To end that charade, ordinary Ghanaians must bring the era of the NDC/NPP duopoly's hold on power in Ghana, to a swift and abrupt end, in this December's presidential and parliamentary elections - by rejecting the NDC/NPP duopoly's candidates for the presidential election: President Mahama and Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo.

The time has come to begin the transformation of Ghana into an African equivalent of the egalitarian societies of Scandinavia, by voting Paa Kwesi Nduom - the only presidential candidate who has promised to form a government of national unity, consisting of the most talented individuals in our country, irrespective of their political backgrounds - to power as Ghana's next leader.

Ghana needs the selflessness, honesty, wealth-and-job-creating-genius of Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom, to lead a government of national unity to propel the enterprise Ghana forward, and transform it into a prosperous and fair society, in which hard work actually pays - and those engaged in egregious chicanery and cronyism  at our nation's expense always end up in jail after their prosecution.

The alternative to the NDC regime of President Mahama, is a new government of national unity led by a President Paa Kwesi Nduom - not yet another corrupt, vindictive, divisive and super-ruthless NPP regime. Period. Haaba: Ghanafuo abre papaa pa o. Hmm, asem ebeba debi, ankasa.
