A Quick Note To Those Advocating For A Miiitary Coup In Ghana

A military coup in Ghana will set our country back decades, and make us the slaves of soldiers accountable to no one. Life in a Ghana ruled by soldiers, would be akin to living in hell-on-earth conditions. No question. With the greatest respect, what dim-wit  wants such a life, I ask, Ghanafuo?


In that light, instead of advocating for a military coup, why not campaign openly, instead, during the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections,  with a manifesto calling for a new 5th Republic, with a Constitution, which ensures democracy, by mandating the election of heads of Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies,  amongst other common-good provisions?



Ditto campaign for a new 5th Republic with a Constitution that bans all forms of media censorship, makes it mandatory for all elected public officials to publicly publish their assets before assuming office, and immediately after leaving office;  makes tax evasion a crime punishable by  mandatory life sentences with hard labour, and  no possibility whatsoever,   of parole, and gives prosecutorial powers to the Auditor General? That will be a great deal more preferable an existence, than living under the jackboots of ruthless soldiers accountable to no one, ooooo, Ghanafuo. Cool.
