NDC, Corruption: Two Sides of the Same Coin - Katakyie

The recent daylight robbery of the state by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) through Alfred Agbesi Woyome has shaken the democratic foundation of our dear country, and had this scenario happened in the late seventies, I believe the military would have taken advantage of the situation to put some common sense in the heads of these professional armed robbers. It is however astonishing to note that in this period of national mourning due to the ‘Woyomic Syndrome’, the NDC members are shamefully putting a hard defence against this glaring thievery. Although Ghanaians have unanimously expressed their emotional disappointment in the leadership of the so-called Social Democrats, supporters of the NDC are the least bothered about the issue because they know that they are the direct beneficiaries of this organised crime.

In search of a reason to change Bawumia

Though the NPP initially announced that it was going to choose the running mate for the 2012 General elections in mid-2012, recent indications are that indeed the choice for the running mate and its announcement is just a few weeks away.

Apologise for the ‘Better Ghana’ Deception, Mr. President!

According to Franklin Benjamin; “tricks and treachery are the practice of fools that do not have brains enough to be honest”. Franklin might have made this strong remark probably due to his abhorrence of lies, propaganda, and deceit at the time. Therefore, we should hasten slowly in condemning Franklin for spitting his dummy out. The release of the 2012 financial policy statement of the NDC government by the Finance Minister has as usual resulted in mixed reactions from the public.
