Dear younger generation media colleagues, although one is aware that at a time when resources are hard to come by, for most media entities in a nation experiencing an unprecedented cost of living crisis, and that it would therefore be unfair to expect you to stretch your watchdog role, as the fourth pillar of our democracy, by demanding it of you, one nonetheless still feels that somehow, you must also play a critical role, in helping Ghanaian society generally to protect the sanctity of the December 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections.
It is in that light that one wonders whether or not, as active young media professionals, although it's not your primary focus, as patriotic citizens, you and your colleagues in our media landscape are nonetheless actively considering how best you can also contribute to the effort to try and stop widespread rigging, from occurring, in the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections? Are you? No? Yes?
Furthermore, do you think that it would be prudent, and wise, for those amongst you who possess them, to leverage your global networks of contacts, to assist Ghanaian CSOs committed to ensuring free and fair elections, in December 2024, to enable them contact Elon Musk, so as to arrange with him to offer his Starlink broadband satellite Internet service, to Ghana, regardless of what the National Communications Authority (NCA) says about Starlink, to enable the livestreaming of voting in all polling stations nationwide on his X (formerly Twitter), platform, as a practical demonstration of his personal contribution to protecting the sanctity of elections in democracies worldwide?
The December 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections, are pivotal, in ensuring that for the foreseeable future, our country will continue to remain one in which every four years, duly registered voters can select candidates of their choice, by casting votes in legitimate polling stations nationwide, to help in the governance of our nation, as parliamentarians, and to fill the pre-eminent position, of President of the Republic of Ghana (POTROG). If it is rigged in widespread fashion, there is no question that enforced regime change will swiftly occur in Ghana. For sure. No question. The NCA needs to understand that clearly. Now. Not tomorrow. Full stop. Yoooooooo...
Finally, it is for all the aforementioned reasons that one humbly appeals to all independent-minded and patriotic media professionals in our country, to work hard, to find innovative ways of helping to ensure free and fair elections across the entire territorial landmass of our Republic, long before December 2024. In that light, the question to ponder over as wise and aspirational young professional Africans is: How best can Ghana's younger generation of media professionals help ensure free and fair presidential and parliamentary elections, in December 2024?
