NDC: There are no sacred cows in today's Ghanaian political world

Dear critical-reader, the leadership of the largest opposition party in Ghana,  the National Democratic Congress (NDC), need to understand clearly that there are no longer any  sacred cows, in the Ghanaian political world, of today.

Ditto that their party will not return to power again,  if it does not prove to Ghanaians that it is a government-in-waiting, with the requisite policies in place,  to enable it create a prosperous and equitable society that benefits all societal demographics, equally, and has the requisite political will, to deal with allegations of high level corruption, by tackling it head on.

Above all, they must demonstrate to Ghanaians, that they will have the needed  resolve, when in power, to prevent powerful individuals from hijacking our system, for use as a state capture rent-seeking asset, to enable them send their personal net worth to stratospheric heights at the expense of ordinary people and their beloved  Mother Ghana - as has been the case under the current regime of President Akufo-Addo: whose tenure as President has been disastrous for Ghanaians and Mother Ghana, because of the unparalleled high level corruption we have witnessed thus far.

A political party whose leading lights respond to demands for light to be shone on the corruption allegations apparently levelled against former President John Dramani Mahama,  as regards the purchase of a previously owned military transport plane, manufactured and converted by the European aircraft manufacturer,  Airbus, for the Ghana Air Force, must not take the unhelpful and arrogant  attitude, once taken by Hon. Murtala Mohammed.

It will be recalled, dear critical-reader, that  when the subject was brought up by the host of a GHOne television current affairs discussion programme, Lantam Papanko, once upon a time, not too long ago, Hon. Murtala  Mohammed, threw a tantrum on live television  -  as if somehow it was a taboo subject that no one had the right, in the Ghana of today,  to raise, oooo,  Ghanafuor, lol. Hmmm, 3y3asem  oooo...

In that regard, it would be far more beneficial for the NDC,  if former President Mahama rather elected to tell the nation, the whole truth about that particular scandal.

If the bald truth, is that he did in fact  take a kickback, not for himself, personally,  but for the NDC as a corporate entity, then he ought to beg for forgiveness, from Ghanaians for that acknowledged error of judgment, on his part - which he himself  did once  allude to, in a cryptic answer to the host of the BBC current affairs programme, Panorama, when he responded, with a question of his own, to the host, who asked him if he had ever been involved in acts of corruption, by asking the host if he meant his being personally corrupt.

That display of honesty, by former President Mahama, will endear him to many Ghanaians, who will admire his honesty, in stark contrast to the endless denials of allegations of high level corruption made against the current  state-capture rent-seeking big-thieves-in-high-places,  who dominate our byzantine system, by the presidency, under today's ruinious government-of-the-day.

For the information of the NDC's leadership, dear critical-reader, there are no sacred cows, now, in as far as transparency in debating policy options,  and addressing allegations of high level corruption made against high-and-mighty individuals, are concerned, in today's Ghanaian political world, oooo, Ghanafuor. Case closed. Full stop.  Yooooooooo...
