Ghana In Limbo

So the NDC has managed to turn the summer of Ghana's emergence into a freezing winter of bewilderment and disillusionment just within a matter of months after Ghanaians entrusted the affairs of the state into their hands!
Like the arrival of an ominous dark cloud, Ghana is being engulfed by the agenda of a few disgruntled men bent on returning us to the past and in the process all our flickering lights of hope are being switched off and our dreams and aspirations are being assaulted. One by one I see them go.
We are being pulled gradually into an abyss of fear, despair and chaos.
The horizon looks bleak. The shrieks of catastrophe so sharp. I hear the murmurs of hopelessness. I feel the cold presence of doom in this belly of painful struggle as in the day when anguish takes control and the power to flee fails .
In the midst of this unfolding drama of national turmoil, the captain of the ship is missing in action. Ghana sits like a defenceless and rudderless ship on the high seas. And, mind you, this is just the beginning of the long journey. Is it fate playing a cruel prank on us? No. Certainly not. Is it merely a passing dream just unfolding before our eyes? How I wish!
Whilst Atta Mills continues to hibernate in this winter of incompetence and dysfunction, the hatred-driven disciples of the Generalissimo are beginning to fill the leadership vacuum with the repulsive stench of wanton abuse, thuggish intimidation and savage lawlessness.
Today, our economy continues to tumble, our currency is in a state of free fall. Inflation is on the ascendancy but there is neither desire nor ability to arrest the economic deterioration.
The focus is elsewhere. Settling of scores and plotting means for vengeance are the overriding priorities. In their zeal to silence, humiliate and dehumanize their opponents, they are oblivious to the fact that when they dehumanize others they themselves become dehumanized.
Like Pontious Pilate, Atta Mills has decided to wash his hands concerning Kuffour and the NPP and released them into the hands of those wanting their pound of flesh.
By failing to speak out against the gathering momentum of abuse, Atta Mills is making himself irrelevant to the cause of millions of Ghanaians who are waiting on him to do what is right, just and commendable.
Mr President take responsibility for what is happening in Ghana. Put your foot down and allow the rule of law to prevail. Or is it a matter of you not being really in charge of Ghana?

  1. Just found this new "opposition blog" today. Why did you decide to create a new blog rather than just adding to your previous one?

  2. Thanks for visiting Kajsa!
    Huh? "opposition blog"? Hehehe!
    Geez, the blog is an attempt to express a candid opinion about the state of affairs in our dear country. It is a space to vent my spleen with reckless abandon, you know!
    I wanted a strictly political blog, something entirely different from the everything-goes approach of my other blog.
