HOW
ARE THE MIGHTY IN GHANA FARING?
Ghana is blessed not only
with natural resources but also with mighty personalities.
Mother Ghana can today boast
of having several mighty sons and daughters.
Her mighty sons and
daughters are strong leaders in their various fields of endeavour.
Namely the clergy, erudite
judges, astute politicians, brilliants academics and splendid royals.
But how are the mighty sons
and daughters of Mother Ghana faring?
How on earth should some of our
judges trade their wisdom and nobility for goats and bread.
Our clergymen and spiritual
leaders, when did the Great Commission become Money Commission? Your salt and
light is absent in our market centres, offices and homes.
You political leaders, how
can you fight the menace of corruption in Ghana if you are still kissing
kickbacks and using your political positions to promote your personal and
partisan interests?
Why are our police officers
become tax collectors on our highways?
When did Ghana Police
Service become Ghana Revenue Authority?
Are taking monies for police
bails and collecting road tolls part of civilized policing?
Some of our traditional
leaders are trading their crowns and thrones for whiskey and pito.
Chief-who-is-who, why have
you become a galamseyer, a shadow politician, and complicit in multiple sales
of land and senseless conflicts?
Our brilliant academics, it
is high time you stopped making noise about your qualifications.
Let your high academic
portfolios purify the ills our ailing Ghana.
Why are you turning our educational
institutions into political playgrounds?
Motherland Ghana is wailing.
Her mighty children are faring
and failing badly in all fields of endeavour.
Badly in hypocrisy,
corruption, nepotism, greed, injustice, oppression and wickedness!
