My
100 percent support for President Akufo-Addo, stems from the fact that
he actually understands the overarching importance of protecting
Ghana's natural heritage. That in the early stages of his presidency, he
made it plain to the world, that he was prepared to sacrifice the
possibility of a second term, to ensure that galamsey was halted, is
proof positive that he detests those destroying the GhanaIan countryside
with such impunity.
Alas, unlike President Akufo-Addo, who
gets it, Ghana's Senior Minister, Hon. Yaw Osafo Marfo, and
Vice-President Bawumia, simply do not understand the importance of
protecting Ghana's natural capital, and leveraging it's value in low-carbon development deals - which is why those two geniuses should not
be managing Ghana's economy under any circumstances.
At a time
of climate change, and the ample evidence from scientific researchers of
its negative impact on the Ghanaian countryside, their lack of
understanding of the value of natural capital, makes them dangerous
policymakers - for they threaten the long- term well-being of Mother
Ghana. There is no question that the planned destruction of the Atewa
Forest Reserve, must be laid at their doorsteps.
And if that
apocalyptic nightmare comes to pass, they will be roundly condemned by
future generations of our people, as sure as day follows night. Those
two well-educated climate-change-blockheads who think only of GDP growth, without ever considering
what actually constitutes that growth, in the real world, on the
ground, so to speak, are not fit to be leaders at a time when the human
race is endangered by the possibility of climate change reaching the
tipping point of no return. They must be sacked immediately.
At a
time of global warming, destroying the Atewa Forest Reserve in order to
mine its poor-quality bauxite deposits, will be the single most stupid
policy decision ever implemented, in the annals of Ghana's history, thus
far. What we must rather plan for, is an integrated West African
aluminium industry, whose value-chain includes bauxite supplies from
Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, shipped to Tema port for processing and smeltering by VALCO. Genius-morons. In light of all the above,
President Akufo-Addo must demand the resignations of Hon. Yaw
Osafo-Marfo and Vice President Mahammadu Bawumia, immediately. Full
stop. Haaba.
