Dear Doc,
One can feel your sense of disconcertion too. For your information, surprising though it might be for many to believe, sections of the Ghanaian media are indeed even more corrupt, than many of our nation's mostly-self-seeking political class, oooo, Massa. That is why the election-vote-auditing-issue you raise, is so important. Very.
If they had their wits about them, most honest and principled media professionals, in Ghana, would recall what Hon. Atta Akyea, once said, in December 2008, when they were trying to get hold of Dr. Afari Djan, in the hope of getting him to 'assist' them win the run-off, of that year's presidential election.
It will be recalled that in a secretly-recorded meeting, at the 'Command Centre' for that unholy enterprise (in a building located along Accra's Kojo Thompson Road), which was broadcast by the brilliant Raymond Archer, in his wlldly-popular 'Election Forensics' programme, on Radio Gold FM, Hon. Atta Akyea was heard calling for intelligence reports, on the whereabouts of the then Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Dr. Afari Djan.
Listening to the whole recording, it was obvious that the inference any intelligent person listening to them, would draw, was that Atta Akyea & Co, sought Dr. Afari Djan, in order to pay him whatever it took, to get him to 'help' them win the run-off of that year's presidential election. Alas, in the end, Afari Djan could not be located. And he did not play Kokofu-football, either. Good man.
It is said that leopards never change their spots. Atta Akyea also stressed the importance of ensuring cases going to court, went before the 'right judges'.
As has Hon. Ken Ofori-Atta, who, in a secret letter to his Cabinet colleagues, predicted that Papa Kwesi Nduom would fight the revocation of GN Bank's license, in the law courts, but that because they were in power, they would prevail there too.
And, quietely, the courts have been packed with Nana Addo's appointees, since January 2017. So, Massa, just put two and two together, wai. Then fast forward to today. Get the picture? Hmmmm, Oman Ghana, eyeasem, oooo...
The plain truth, is that in reality, the current EC has been very, very proficient in disseminating fantasies-to-hide-procurement-breaches, in press conference after press conference. Why, you might wonder?
Ask the folk at IMANI Africa, wai, Massa. Small boys are young. Their research on the subject is unrivalled. Full stop. Case closed. Sarjewah. Dan nyiremah. Yes, Mother Ghana most certainly deserves better, Massa. And, yes, it is indeed a national disgrace that the media has failed Ghana by not thinking of getting an accounting firm to count and tally all the votes in the December 2020 presidential and parliamentary elections. One concurs with that view. Hmmm, Oman Ghana - enti, yewieye paaaa, eneiiiiii? Asem kesie, bi, ebeba debi, ankasa, oooo. Yoooooo...
