Rawlings Must Apologise To Ghanaians!!!

The Mabey and Johnson’s scandal came as a shock to many Ghanaians especially at the time of NDC is in government, which is the offspring of the then “PNDC” cracks who paraded themselves as monarchs of anti corruption apostles under the ambit of Probity and Accountability and so forth. But today these crusaders have brought to us shame not only that, but an embarrassment to the good people of this noble country. We the youth want to state categorically that the government, for that matter the president who campaigned on the platform of whipping the crack should not shield any one found copable and allow those involve face the full rigorous of the law.

We ask of Muntaka’s fiasco, what happened after been pieced to resign? Now is the turn of the beloved son (Hon. Dr Sipa Yankey Min. Of Health) and uncle (Alhaji Seidu Amadu Min of State) also joining the queue of resigning syndrome, we wonder if it is not another antice or a “smart one’’ to bury the matter again? Oh! God save Ghana.


The youth of this country are learning from the statesmen of this land, and we are wondering if this is the Nationalism, Patriotism, and Selflessness they are teaching us to grow up with, certainly not!


We are in this country where some personalities make so much brouhaha about others integrity calling them all sort of names such as “”Atta Ayi, thieves and so on. This Mabey and Johnson’s scandal is one of the most contagious official corruption fiasco in the annals of Ghana’s political history, and interestingly, under the PNDC/NDC government. A party that was formed trough the cover of Probity and Accountability. They used these principles to prosecute officials and hardworking entrepreneurs at the time, for illegally acquiring wealth and thereby confiscating, canning, killing and some going exile etc under the watch of ex. President Rawlings. This Mabey and Johnson scandal is alleged to have started in the 80’s. We therefore ask Mr. Rawlings and his executers that what justification the apostles of anti curroption government had to have committed such outrageous, inhuman, and sacrilegious act. Or is it that, the man who oucastrated the act did enjoy the booties of Mabey and Johnson, which is why he has kept silence all this while? If the above is anything to go by, then I think that Mr. Rawlings should as matter of necessity apologize to all the families of the victims who suffered the brutalities caused them under his watch.


Because, if this revelation and most unfortunate event is something to go by, then, the PNDC/NDC have deceived Ghanaians not only that but have robbed the country of progress and development. Because the people who at the time, suffered these casualty were the light of this country in terms of their entrepreneurial expertise. They might have grown their companies and businesses to reduce the abject poverty in this country by employing a number of graduates in the system that are left in a jungle of struggle.

This perception of some group of persons that it is wrong to get wealth must from hence forth be something of the past. It is sheer hatred and envy which retarred growth and the cause effect is lies, buckling, and vindictiveness of innocent citizens. After all “the pious “are also corrupt as they made Ghanaian to believe all this while.


Long live Mother Ghana! Long live the Good People of Ghana!! Long live our Great Grand Fathers!!!
