Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa
In any serious country, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa will never be made a chairman of a committee of parliament because of his characteristic indecent haste to level absolutely groundless accusations against innocent people.
He uses social media to trial, convict, and jail people, even before the issues are properly investigated, and the truth unveiled. He has further turned the parliamentary oversight committee into a "bully pulpit" to quote Kojo Oppong-Nkrumah.
A person born into excruciating penury and should've been humble after becoming rich through politics is rather throwing his weight about. He once ordered Martin Amidu to pay judgment debts but has now put on a cloak of sainthood.
He always lashed President Kufuor for his foreign travels but just a week after NDC took power in 2008, he commandeered a Ghana Air Force plane and loaded it with friends to go marry his wife in the north. Okudzeto-Ablakwa is a complete joke!
These are the people who vowed to cancel the Vodafone deal if NDC won the 2008 elections. But they ended up striking excessively juicy handshakes. These are characters with no credibility and therefore must never be allowed anywhere near power.
All the shouts about the corruption of the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo administration and the vow to prosecute and throw people into jail, are just a farçade to hoodwink the unsuspecting public into voting for them, only to come and loot the State coffers.
The track record of these people is crass incompetence, unbridled corruption, destruction of individuals' hard-earned investments due to sheer envies, and looting of State assets. These are people with no sense of patriotism.
And as I have always maintained: this 8th parliament of the 4th Republic of our country has, unequivocally, been the most unproductive in our Ghanaian democratic history. And I pray we never, ever, had a hung parliament in Ghana.
