Kevin Taylor: A military coup in Ghana will only worsen matters

Yewura Kevin Taylor, nothing can justify a coup in Ghana, wai - because no matter what  those in power today, do, Ghanaians will still vote the New Patriotic Party  (NPP) out of power in December 2024. Who will hold soldiers with unfettered power to account? Haaba.

Simple question: Which institution in Ghana is free from 'protocol-admissions', I ask? Massa, easy, wai. Some crimes have no statute of limitations protection,  koraaa, wai. Cool.

What we need is consensus that Ghana must become a meritocracy - and, like India, take active steps to get rid of the Chieftaincy institution (the mother-serpant of corruption), to rid Ghana of inherited privilege: which is the greatest enemy of meritocracy. Simple.

It is instructive that India,which set out after independence, to rid itself of the baleful influence of its incredibly powerful Maharajahs,  is a global power today - while resource-rich Ghana, enthralled to Chiefs, because they apparently embody our traditions, has now ended up as  a mismanaged financial basket case: deliberately mismanaged through an orgy-of-borrowing that a powerful few profited mightily  from (in commissions and professional fees). Hmmm, ey3nsem piiiiii, oooo, Ghanafuo. A military coup will not resolve any of our hydra-headed challenges. It will only worsen matters.
