Why Public Demonstrations Against the EC Isn't Clever Strategy

A neighbour asked me, a few days ago, why I was so critical of the National Democratic Congress' (NDC) public demonstrations,  against the Electoral Commission (EC). My answer to her, was that when dealing with evil politicos (who have become power-drunk, and seek to hang on to power, at all costs, after recieving a drubbing in an election),  organising public demonstrations is simply not clever.

In such situations, public demonstrations, only present the thieves-in-high-places, seeking a return to power, again,  regardless, with the opportunity to infiltrate those public demonstrations with agent-provocateur-types, who resort to violence in order to discredit what are meant to be peaceful demonstrations. Ghanaians don't like violent public demonstrations. Full stop. Case closed.

If I were an NDC member (God forbid! ),  I would rather be focusing on collaborations with overseas common-good organisations, such as the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists  (ICIJ), for a number of desired-achievable-objectives.

For example, a collaboration  with the ICIJ, can be used successfully, by the NDC, to follow the paper-trail, if any exist, for offshore  cash payments, made to buy the 2020 elections. This is not rocket science,  oooo. Yooooooo...

And, subsequently,  using ICIJ members in the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) member-states, after unearthing vital evidence, will enable the NDC to petition their governments, to indict any Ghanaians involved in that egregious, and, treasonable act, of colluding-to-sell-a-national-election. Simple. 

The question for the NDC to ponder over is: Do all those  high-ups, in Ghanaian officialdom, who were allegedly bribed (according to bush-telegraph sources),  to sell the 2020  elections, not have ill-treated minions, serving them in their offices, anaaa? Hmmm, eyeasem, ooooo... 

Furthermore, do those ill-treated minions, not know lots of  top-secret-things-paaapa, anaaaa, and will they not willingly let the cat out of the bag, so to speak, if they knew about the existence of a well-endowed reward-fund, set up by the wealthiest NDC supporters, specifically to handsomely reward all those who provide credible information, about the stealing of the 2020 elections? Yoooooo...

There is no question that such a strategy,  by the NDC, will help secure convictions, in OECD member-nations' law courts. That is because those ill-treated minions, will happily sing, paaaa - faced with the prospect of also being in a position to finally get rich too: like their arrogant and disdainful bosses. I believe it is called the Adidigya-betrayal-syndrome, Massa. Simple. Public demos  are old hat in such situations, oooo, wai. Yoooooo...
