Bastardising Democracy In Ghana: NDC Reign of Terror

By Fadi Dabbousi Samih

The Bureau of National Investigations, BNI, it seems, has become a tool for enslaving Ghanaians by instilling in them fear. So dreadful has the thought of falling into the hands of these undemocratic demagogues become that the only inference derivable from the lawlessness of the law enforcement agencies is that our nation has become a “Banana Republic”. Whatever that may mean, I would like to understand it in a more realistic term: that a hard unripe banana is shoved up the butt of every soul living under the ignominy of President John Dramani Mahama and his bunch of iniquitous palpable liars, every day.

As if we are not having enough problems grappling with the acute penury that has become the order of the day, it would seem as if members of government are trying to settle scores with the opposition where there are none. Vocal criminals like Mugabe Maasi and uncouth characters like Kokoon Anyidaho are on the loose making unguarded statements predicting the death of the most popular Ghanaian, Hon Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo, by June, and his subsequent absence from the ballot paper for elections 2016. This is one of the many crimes they continue to perpetrate with total impunity under the protection of the State machinery. However, when this opposition leader solicits the services of security professionals known worldwide in the business of guarding high profile VIPs, the confused security apparatuses of the befuddled NDC government kick into cowardly action to arrest and level all manner of charges against them.

The idea of fighting terrorism has been brought upon innocent people worried about the death threats cast at them while the real terrorists are lavishing in largess at the expense of the tax payer. While innocent people are in jail ailing without a sign of concern from the authorities, actual terrorists are free, moving about under official protection allegedly impregnating young Ghanaian ladies, and that begs the question. Captain Koda, the head of Nana Akufo-Addo’s security detail is said to be ill in the BNI cells, yet in addition to the physical and mental abuse, he is being denied the basic medical attention as enshrined in the constitution of this great country. Even war criminals are entitled to such care, much more an innocent person just performing his job.

A book launched at the African Regent Hotel on the 8th of March 2016 titled “59 Years To Nowhere…And Counting The Future is Now” carried a message of hope and a peaceful road map for effective governance and social cohesion. The author had since the launching been harassed by haranguers of the devil. The last straw was a wicked message written by a supposed paid stooge. It was found on the ground in the compound of his house on Sunday the 27th of March, 2016. The strange thing was that the message was covered in blood and stabbed with a knife. The suspicion was that it was hurled into the compound over his fortified fence. The contents read (unedited), “you foolish man, you think you can use your book 59 yrs to disgraze as. If we see this Dameging book in town again, we will finish you in this country. Nonses.”

Even though a complaint at the Police Station was lodged, it still does not change the fact that Ghana under John Mahama and his security apparel is fatally ill. This once prosperous nation has turned into a Police State where laws are in limbo just like the Ministers and their leading fair fat-bum bimbo. Unprecedented nihilism has stripped the NDC persons in power off any shred of nationalism to the extent that in order to retain the seat of government, the security agencies are being used to persecute those who dare speak.

But you know, SPEAK WE SHALL!!! Ghanaians will not be gagged. Ghanaians will not be intimidated. Ghanaians will not be silenced.

It will be prudent to purchase the book “59 Years to Nowhere…and counting The Future is Now”. The reader will not only enjoy it, but will become well informed about the Ghanaian situation. That way going into elections 2016, they can make informed decisions that will finally inure to the general good of the country.
