MAHAMA: HEARTBREAK OF DEMOCRACY








In fact, John Mahama comes across as the first President in our modern politics that can lie even in his sleep. His life-style is uncanny and deliriously inhumane.  I don’t know why people still take him seriously. I have enjoyed taken unapologetic swipe on NDC for giving us such a huge mistake. Four years isn’t a joke. The damage is alarming and could be generational. He lied on all things; he is just a devil incarnate. There is no single truth, not in iota reference of him. I am really ready to take anyone on this.  


Reading through his many excuses and fabrications presented to parliament about the state of Ghana and the coming years gives an illogical farce that I know won’t survive unless we are just bunch of morons the Presidency thinks we are.


For me it was nothing beyond the attempt to open another draconic debate between warring political ideologies. The good thing is, it will definitely achieve its aim, but only the intellectually sage person can translate without remedy to mischief. Ghana project without extremely cast iron doubt is populism concentrated. The people are conscientious; more actively involved in passing comments and reeling blames having understood that conscience and silence are knotted principle that makes a thriving and sustainable democracy. Not many countries survived the tragedy of democracy in the hands of their political leaders unless they are actively veracious in the process and activities of government. Not even, in developing nations. This, I presume Ghanaians soon realized and boom, there perception is re-awakening after the many lies turned tragedy suffered in our nascent democracy by our political leaders.


I have mentioned lies; Mahama’s communication machinery would find the inkling insulting and probably ignore the basis.  There is no need to take history on any journey; I will analyze the basis with clues from recent gaffe of John Mahama. Starting with his numerous and unfounded lies cum deceit that our modern understanding of government philosophy called failures. 


Haven’t he promised a more transparent and fair democratic process? Didn’t he promise not to dabble in affairs of judicial system? Haven’t we read he promised issue based campaign? What that means is nothing personal about what you want to do and what you intend doing for the people. It also means, the 2016 electioneering won’t be confrontational to anyone not even the electorates, who dare that? 


Didn’t he promise an improved power? Do we have now electricity in full moon at least for 12hours a day in any part of Ghana? Oh! Do I hear you say, the failure is peculiar to party in government?


Didn’t he promise 200 SHS in four years concluding? But he is yet to make do his promise his first fifty per a year.  How many of Mahama’s juicy promises do you have in your memory tackling corruption? We have had and always have his flimsy assurances to battle corruption not knowing he has refused to equip our institutions with ammunitions and weapons to curb the insurgency. Who is to blame? Who is lying? Why has he lied on the soul of many Ghanaians?  Are we settling for his lies yet again against the backdrop of his failures and unfounded lies that have heaped tragedy and pain on us? 


In honesty, President Mahama is my worst nightmare that I wouldn’t want to see beyond January, 07, 2017.


The opposition and political analyst should begin to take his words with mere pitch of salt. This isn’t the first time we would be having a chief executive promising something and doing the other. Mills did it and the bridge didn’t fall, Members of Parliament and Assembly Members are doing it while we take solace and hold them accountable at a logical time like this, the electoral season is always momentum in memories. The fate of Ghanaians in another 4years from local government to the Presidency begins with the choice we make. So, as an apostle of good governance and respect for democratic principle, I owe my country a duty to erect accountable leaders through any laudable means I can think of and Mahama isn’t just an option. He is the worst tragedy of our democracy. 


From Kete Krachi last month I came to Accra through the available metro mass transit. As I alighted at the Opera Square terminal, was a haughty smell that would arouse anyone’s fear the moment you take revolving attempt to make a stop at the Tema Station extension of the Metro Mass. I had once read about the damning condition of Accra and how far garbage has engulfed it in Newspapers, the one that have ever ossify my worries was the piece Daily Heritage put together last year.  The toilets, the flagship, the conveyor and the lifts that connect you to any route are all in bad and shabby state. There I wonder what the money hungry Communicators are actually projecting about the President with pocket sticking lies. I also remember we had a Minister, a woman that loves her country and extended the affection through her sapping effort of service but won’t negotiate her comfort in exotic cars, and have never hid her taste for luxury managing the environmental ministry. 


It means, it takes 7years of a mentally deranged person to identify failures and still want to associate, let alone canvass support for such after 7years in power. 


In the wake of 2012 during care-taker President Mahama’s electoral campaign was a file of some exciting electoral promises that look like a solution to our long run of ill luck in leadership. The promises have proved to be a mirage that may never see any good light till the expiration of his tenure. The lists of the promises are not the focus but the many lies turned tragedy amidst tyranny spewed by John Mahama with no complicity. 


Power; in 2012, President Mahama jolted and rebooted our confidence coming bold and elegant with global assurance of fixing our power sector. His reminiscent-ally said, our power generation is facing rehabilitation of all existing power generation; distribution and transmission assets to give a maximum thousand watts of electricity; the harnessing of alternative sources of energy such as gas and thermal generation. As if the deceit hasn’t suffered a huge condemnation enough, Mahama had again gone sneaky, recently undertook a Memorandum of Understanding with Germany mostly to add up the percent in power projects to achieve additional wattage by 2016. Having done this, it is wisdom to expect the effect of this move but no, Ghanaians aren’t swayed, they understand the idea is motivated by desperation for 2016 election. Such political calculation is dead on arrival. Yes, dead and buried. 


Ghanaians are seeing his evil machinations rolling up his gladiator’s sleeve. They don’t have the interest of Ghanaians. They are bridled by desperation to return to power.


Of course, his desperation can be measured by the currency put on the so-called bigotry saga of Yaw Osarfo Marfo of McMillan fame.
