Attorney general department is full of organized criminals

Frankly, I decided not to comment on the Woyome’s judgment but the truth is, the amount involved keeps hunting me especially when I look at the difficult situation we find ourselves.

As a concern citizen founded on Accountability, I strongly believed that the Attorney General should have done more to protect the interest of Ghanaians especially in a situation where she has sworn an oath to truly serve the Republic of Ghana.

Indeed, their actions truly indicate that Mahama government is sheep’s in a wolf cloth and that the Attorney General department is full of organized criminals.

The Attorney has subjected the country into international ridicule and has therefore made Ghanaians doubts our judicial system.

It is no doubt that some persons associated with the government are trading on a large scale. As a matter of fact, some individuals are using Mahama as a protective cover ostensibly collecting monies on behalf of the government but in reality those monies ends up in their pockets.

It is rather unfortunate that monies meant for developments rather get to some individuals for no work done. Just under Mahama’s watch, the country is rocked with endemic corruption scandals. The likes of ISOFOTON (over US $300,000) SADA (Ghc 45 million), GYEEDA (Ghc 200 million), SUBAH (Ghc 144million), AZONTABA, etc had all gone wasted living the state in penniless.

Just some couple of days ago, over GHc317 million of the tax payer’s has gone into waste due to the negligence of Afari Gyan. It is rather embarrassing that as social democrats, the government finds it difficult to support its citizenry.

Most officials, including truly major and minor functionaries in the public sector use their positions and the resources entrusted to them to increase their private fortunes, at the expense of the nation and the population.

Without any doubt, a common mantra or complaint on the lips of almost every Ghanaian is the rapid increase these days of the cost of living and even of dying.

Currently, there is a persistent and a pervasive feeling of cynicism, pessimism and hopelessness among the youth about the administration of John Mahama. This in turn has popularized fatalism and transformed each into predators whose survival depends on the destruction of the other.

With the present economic hardship whilst others enjoys, it must be stressed that when a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice and that the most terrible walls are the walls that grows up in the mind.

I am therefore appealing to Mahama to immediately revoke the services of the Attorney General as she is only there to serve the interest of some individuals rather than for national service.

Long live Ghana!

Long live CAF!

And God bless us all!
