NPP Justifies Looting And Stealing (Lipstick on a Pig)

Sat, 4 Dec 2010 Source: Dotse, Daniel

As the popular saying goes “Put a lipstick on a pig, it is still a pig” and will do what it knows to do best, enjoy itself in the mud.

No amount of polishing, rebranding and terminology Akufo Addo’s SPIN DOCOTORS, Gabby Otchere-Darko and “Negative Vuvuzela” Ursula Owusu want to use for NPP’s daylight robbery and stealing of State-owned assets, can legitimize it. It is still stealing and the discerning and intelligent Ghanaians know that.

It is sad that the Danquah-Busia-Dombo (the UP tradition) and its offspring New Patriotic Party (NPP) still think Ghanaians are so stupid, dumb, and gullible to swallow any garbage they throw at them.

There is absolutely nothing wrong if one works hard and genuinely acquires property. In fact, it is great to work hard, get wealthy and genuinely acquire property, as fruits of one’s labor. It is, however, not only morally wrong for one to use his or her position to deprive the poor and the downtrodden of even the little that belongs to them, but a grievous sin against humanity which posterity will never forgive. This behavior is irresponsible and indefensible, but this is exactly what Akufo Addo’s spin doctors and the hosts of NPP fanatics are trying to do, defend the indefensible.

Stealing and looting of Government properties is in the DNA of this group of people called Danguah-Busia-Dombo (UP) political tradition and its offspring the NPP, in the name of PROPERTY OWNING Democracy.

History they say, doesn’t teach anything, it just keeps recurring (repeating itself). In 1969, when Dr. K.A. Busia became the Prince Minister of Ghana, after using his position as the chairman for National Commission for Civic Education to his advantage, he and his cronies did the same thing as NPP did(between 2001 and 2008) and which they are so determine to comeback to power to do again. Why did General I.K. Acheampong confiscate Busia’s properties? Your guess is good as mine.

What is very disturbing is the rationalization and propagation of this naked and wicked stealing and looting of our properties by few people who lied their way to power. For instance, Kufuor who prior to 2001 was so poor when Rawlings was so kind to invite him to the castle his car could not even spark and Rawlings had to give him a Car to use until his car was fixed for him, suddenly became rich within 8 years to the extent that he gave Akufo Addo $96 Million American Dollars during the 2008 general elections.

Fellow Ghanaians, those who think Kufuor did not support Akufo Addo during the 2008 elections should rethink. It was Akufo Addo’s arrogance, NPP’s Government Officials looting of Government lands as well as Bungalows and disrespect for Kufuor that made him lost the election and of course save Ghana.

If the so-called philosophy of Property Owing Democracy (POD) is to steal and loot the properties of the Good People Ghana, then this dangerous and wicked ideology must NOT be allowed in our democratic dispensation.

This ideology is nothing but an insatiable desire of a group of people who called themselves democrats to bulldoze their way to power for their egotistic desires and personal gratifications, irrespective of what happens to the rest of over 22 million Ghanaians.

Why do they do these evil things? The answer is very simple. They believe that the rest of us do not belong to their class, are less human and therefore, can be treated anyhow.

Property Owing Democracy ideology can only be described as the penchant of the (Looting brigade)-NPP to use unfair means to grab state properties, lands, bungalows and to scheme the system. This behavior of the Danquah-Busia-Dombo political tradition and their offspring (NPP) can only be described as sheer wickedness, insensitivity, and unfair to ordinary Ghanaians. These dangerous groups of people must be stopped in their tracks before their greed leads our dear Country into a dangerous path of anarchy.

As a matter of fact they don’t even care what happens to Ghana and for that matter Ghanaians. Otherwise Akufo Addo and his Atta Akyea and Co together with that shameless Chief (In)justice Wood (no doubt she shares in the loots) would not have taken a dangerous, selfish and wicked step that they knew for sure would have plunged the country into chaos and anarchy had they succeeded. Thanks to the patriotic Judge and the”FRIEND OF THE COURT” who saved mother Ghana by doing the right thing!

Fellow Ghanaians sleep with your eyes wide open so we would never be taken advantage of again by this bunch of selfish people.
