Ghanafuor: Should we pray for our current energy minister Hon. Mathew Opoku-Prempeh?

Re:  Further tales from the Anansesemkrom-Toli series (of who will end up in jail for life for participating in the ongoing brutal gang-rape of Mother Ghana, after enforced regime-change in 2025)

Dear critical-reader, should we pray for the current minister of energy, Hon. Mathew Opoku-Pempeh, who is apparently  about to be removed from his post - because he has apparently become an obstacle to powerful individuals bent on profiting from state-capture rent-seeker-deals in the sector of our national economy under his remit?

 Alas, according to yet to be fact-checked bush-telegraph sources, Hon. Mathew Opoku Pempeh's  predecessor as minister, Hon. Kyremateng-Agyarko, too, apparently also lost his post, as minister, in the selfsame energy ministry, simply because he wouldn't countenance interference by Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko the Svengali of today's government-of-the-day.

For those to whom he is a stranger, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, is  a blood relative, of the  only  elected Ghanaian leader, in our entire history as an independent African nation-state, said to be personally incorruptible, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

For some inexplicable reason, President Akufo-Addo, apparently backed the said Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, when the predecessor of the current energy minister, Hon. Kyremateng-Agyarko, apparently complained to the incorrrutible President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, about an unconscionable energy sector power agreement that he felt wasn't in the overall best interest of Mother Ghana, which Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, was apparently insisting Hon. Agyarko sign on Ghana's behalf (for reasons best known to that too-clever-by-half crony-regime-Svengali said to be this current Ghanaian government-of-the-day's puppet-master,   lol).

And, in the face of all such shenanigans, some Ghanaian innocents-abroad,  apparently wonder how our resource-rich nation, ended up being bankrupted  -  chiefly by endless-borrowing that personally profited a powerful and well-connected few, and sent their individual net worth to stratospheric heights,  during the tenure of a regime led by a politician said to be a personally incorruptible African leader. Amazing.

Granted that quite a number of  Ghanaians still continue to speak truth to power,  via social media, is it not rather odd that despite widespread rumours of powerful state-capture rent-seekers' appropriating wealth belonging to all the citizenry, that Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, and his ilk, are able to manipulate the presidency so easily, as if Ghana were their personal fiefdom  -  without their actual role in this regime ever coming under closer scrutiny by our mainstream media?

The question is:  Why do so many media professionals in the more responsible sections of Ghana's legacy mainstream media outlets, remain silent, in the face of today's  troubling-times?

Are we not experiencing
 an unprecedented era-of-misery,   during which the vast majority of ordinary people are constantly being forced, by circumstances beyond their control,  to struggle daily, merely to survive on a day-to-day basis - while  well-connected big-thieves-in-high-places, allegedly hoard zillions in assorted currencies, in their many palatial homes?

Yet, the reason why a wise and aspirational Africa people's country has ended up as a bankrupted nation that still remains a global superpower in begging-bowl-diplomacy, is obvious to even little school children in Accra's Airport residential area's Association. International School, as well as those in our capital city's Cantonments residential area's Morning Star International School, and those attending its Ghana International School, dear critical-reader.

Be that as it may, dear  critical-reader, perhaps it might be prudent for ordinary Ghanaians to pray for Hon. Mathew Opoku-Pempeh, Ghana's current energy minister, ooooo. No? Eiiii, Oman Ghana - 3nti y3wiey3  paaa, 3niy3 anaaaa? Asem k3siyi3 bi eyeba debi ankasa oooo. Yooooooo. Hmmm, Anansesemkrom - tweaaaaaa...
