Author:-Hon. Martin A.B.K. Amidu.

...The Government exercised the latter option when we disagreed over the judgment debt and other Gargantuan crimes. The Government, and my colleague Ministers at the time know that there was no provision for dismissal under my contract of employment as a Minister or that of any Minster.

I reserve the right as a citizen of Ghana to protect and defend my honour and integrity should this civilized challenge for the truth be ignored.

This is not the price I should be made to pay by the Government of Ghana for defending the Constitution of Ghana in the Waterville and Isofoton unconstitutional payments declared by the Supreme Court.

Kuffour, we regret the day Ghanaians offered their thumbs to vote for you as prez. Yours was an era of economic disaster and degradation of our human dignity.

Jobs for his friends, cronies, tribes men, Contracts for his sons, ministerial appointments for his brother and destruction of the behind of women. Mandela was in a different league.

Mandela speaks with Frank hiding no secrets, just plain truth and words.

He said " I am not a saint nor a prophet, unless sainthood is a sinner trying hard to loose his sins". The way to do that is to pursue SALVATION PLANS of the heavens. SALVATION is not of Christ Jesus alone, but the God Almighty think and his son manifest and their spirit guide implementations.

I sometimes wonder if Mandela was an angel in human flesh because his spirit of forgiveness and reconciliation transcend any human imagination. He was a real manifestation of what we read in the Bible.

I also sometimes question myself if he was African but then I realised that he was the true African. An African of his age who won the presidency and willing gave it up? That is rare on the continent.

He was a man, a man's man but above all, a woman's man. Born of a woman, fed by a woman and raised by woman. He did not only represent all the wonderful adjectives being used by noble men and women of the world to pay tribute to him but in fact and indeed, he was those words. A man so deprived of dignity, equality and freedom, yet, so willing with enormous humility, sense of responsibility towards others that he freely forgave reconciled and preached and practised coexistence and peace. For me these incredible qualities made Mandela human not of this world. Perhaps, he belonged to heaven where he has surely retuned. May his soul rest in perfect peace.

Mandela, upon his release and becoming president, has no choice but to forgive those who put him in prison just for fighting injustices in his native country. Why? Because the ripple effect will be more than he will ever imagine. The Black in South Africa will have suffered more than usual. Being a wise man, he saw that the best option is to call for reconciliation and tied the navel cord of all South Africans together. That is what a leader with a vision does not the other way round where revenge will be a bitter pill to swallow.

The PP Govt undrr Dr Busia and with Kuffour then as Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister recognized and regarded the apatheid regime as their "Natural Allies". Against the decision of the AU to slap sanctions on South Africa, the PP Govt, betrayed Mandela and his people. Now they are trying desperately to get on the right side of History. You chased away all the freedom fighters of Africa from their safe haven in Nkrumah's Ghana. UP, PP and NPP, it is much easier for an elephant to pass through the eye of a needle than for your party to cast itself as lovers of freedom for all without regard to colour of skin or ethnicity, the goals Mandela stood for. Even in Ghana, NPP is projecting the very opposite of Mandela, intolerance of other ethnic groups especially Northerners, Ewes and Gas. How come?

THERE WAS NEVER A SINGLE REPORTED CASE AGAINST MANDELA OF EXPLOITATIVELY HIGH IMPORT DUTIES, EXTORTIONATE FUEL AND UTILITY TARIFFS, EXTORTIONATE TAXES AND THE CULTURE OF CREATE LOOT AND SHARE OF GHANA'S RESOURCES.

He came out of prison and made friends with his enemies.

Guess whose tribute is lost on our airwaves and media? Nana Akuffo-Addo. This evil tribal warlord cant pay tribute because his Champions, Busia supported apartheid in South Africa for which he strongly stands behind. Shameless, tribal he-goats with no pride for their country. No wonder he's been living in the UK after he lost his elections. NO GENUINE LOVE FOR GHANA.

Thank God Mandela did not loot the coffers like you because he knows that even if one owns the whole world, he or she will one day leave all behind. Thank God he did not victimize or imprison his political opponents like you.

They say, a good name is better than silver and gold and Mandela has proven that to be true.

Unfortunately, its too late for you to learn any lessons from the life of Mandela. Our generations to come will forever remember you as the most corrupt President Ghana ever had.

Mandela did not lie of his failing health like so-called Asomdwehene, Mills. Yet, no one in south africa is hailing unnecessary praises on him. that is what humilty does. He is the true asomdweehene and not the borrowed one who lied to his country and helped destroy its resources and died a disgraceful death. Any challenge to this comment?

Kufuor has no shame. Mandela does not need praise from thieves and tribal bigots like Kufuor. Mandela did not rape and pillage the national treasury for family gain

Mandela did not crown himself with gold chain. Money form public coffers. He was no thief and did not amass wealth for himself, his family and his cronies. No per diem, no ex gratia, no public/tax payers money to renovate his private house whilst living in the official castle, no hotel wawa, no pocketing the sale of the National silvers e.g Vodafone, Ghana Airway, Ghana Telecom, Drillship, no looting of Government lands, bungalows etc.

Even witches are mourning Nelson MANDELA. How hypocrite can be African??? Even those who have assassinated their best friend in name of political power and loyalty to their colonizers, even those who are changing their constitutions to remain forever in power are saying something on Nelson MANDELA. Meanwhile they are not ready to follow his good example.Poor mother Africa, why did you give birth to so many greedy persons? MANDELA, please from the heaven where you are now, help Africa give birth to good leaders.

We all Mandela was special. He did not seek revenge. And precisely, why and how was Tsikata wrongfully jailed by ......?
We copied his (Mandela's) truth and reconciliation commission but implemented it badly in Ghana - under who?
