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.
