Dear Mr. President,
Blissful New Year to you. I hope everything works out for you this year, which is your last year in power. My request in this last year of your administration, you will offer Ghana the sort of authority that will allow Ghanaians to recall you decidedly and well when you leave power on January 6, 2025.
Mr President, in this last year of your administration, I plan to think of you consistently on issues of worry to me and maybe, to some Ghanaians as well.
This will be my little approach to assisting you with hearing a portion of the harsh bits of insight you want to hear and be aware, yet which your deputies and individuals around you will be reluctant to tell you. I really want to believe that you will see the value in this deliberate, free assistance I'm advertising. I trust that you will likewise acknowledge my basic feelings sincerely.
I wish to begin my planned series of letters to you for certain reflections on your administration and Ghana's majority rules system.
It is accounted for that on Saturday, January 6, 2024, you conveyed a discourse in which you encouraged Ghanaians to do all that could be within reach to ensure the life span of our 30-year-old Fourth Republic. This is a genuine and right call and I wish to laud you for that.
For sure, in spite of the multitude of known traps of a vote based system, it stays the most favored type of administration and we really want to save, secure and support our own while supporting different countries to do likewise.
Given Ghana's political history that is spoiled with military rebellions and the new resurgence of overthrows in our West Africa district, I can comprehend the reason why your contemplations about the life span of our ongoing majority rule government will continuously be fixated on the counteraction of an overthrow.
In any case, Mr. President, let me advise you that all over the planet, a few popular governments have passed on not through military takeovers but rather in the possession of chosen pioneers. So considerations about the life span of Ghana's majority rules government ought not be focused on only the shortfall of a tactical upset. Our majority rule government can bite the dust without a tactical overthrow. All together words, a majority rules government isn't just the intermittent lead of races and the shortfall of military overthrows.
Similarly as in numerous different nations all over the planet, Ghana's majority rules system can be obliterated and shortened by the counter equitable activities and strategies of a chosen chief. What's more, I'm miserable to say, Mr President, that all through your initiative of our country, a portion of your activities and inactions have essentially debilitated and sabotaged our Fourth conservative majority rules system as opposed to fortifying, securing and merging it.
You might be confused by my case. Yet, that is ordinary. Frequently, when chosen pioneers are obliterating popular governments through their activities, they do as such with the deception that their activities are somewhat fortifying vote based system. I, in this way, accept that it will be useful to help you to remember a portion of the things that you have directed and activities that you have taken that have sabotaged, debilitated and made our majority rule government more delicate.
Most importantly, Mr. President, our majority rules system is debilitated, as opposed to fortified, when you direct an administration that is described by elevated degrees of unrestrained defilement and plundering of state assets without risk of punishment. Such an administration must be a danger to the supportability and life span of our majority rules system.
Mr. President, the issue of elevated degrees of debasement in your administration is something you would have heard a few times. Yet, it is possibly you couldn't care less about it and wouldn't battle the infection or that you have attempted however lost the battle.
Up until this point, Straightforwardness Worldwide's yearly Debasement Discernment Files have shown that the most horrendously awful record of your ancestor government remains your best exhibition. Recollect that we as a whole blamed the past government for being bad and you were at the front of that allegation.
Once more, as you know or ought to know, in 2022, Afrobarometer's Cycle 9 review in Ghana uncovered that the greater part of Ghanaians overviewed said that your office (Office of the Administration) is the second most degenerate foundation in the country. A similar report uncovered that you have the most terrible record with regards to battling defilement. Right around nine out of each and every 10 Ghanaians (85%) studied for that report appraised your work in battling debasement as decently or exceptionally terrible.
Mr. President, you debilitate and make our Fourth conservative vote based system delicate, when you keep on making moves to clear your nominees who are embroiled in supposed demonstrations of debasement, even before examinations are done. In the Afrobarometer report referred to above, it was uncovered that 77% of Ghanaians accept that under your authority, authorities who perpetrate violations slip by everyone's notice. This has prompted individuals depicting you, very unenviably, as "the clearing specialist."
At the point when you manage a bad government where authorities reside richly while the majority keep on misery, that isn't the means by which to secure and support our vote based system. That is the manner by which to implode a vote based system, as a matter of fact.
Mr. President, you debilitated and delivered our majority rule government delicate as opposed to fortified it when you mishandled your power and utilized unrefined means to eliminate a free Examiner General, just in light of the fact that he was stating his autonomy to safeguard the public handbag. As the High Court later insisted, your activity was illegal.
It is miserable that the High Court pursued its choice solely after the survivor of your illegal activity, the revered Daniel Yaw Domelovo, had arrived at the retirement age and hence, couldn't get back to involve his situation.
That illegal demonstration was positively hostile to majority rule and the sort of activity that represent a serious danger to the life span of Ghana's Fourth conservative vote based system. How might you sin against the Constitution and say you are shielding and safeguarding the life span of our majority rule government? That unlawful demonstration is an exemplary illustration of how a chosen chief can undermine a majority rule government.
Mr. President, I accept you additionally know very well that your choice to name known activists of your party to administrative roles of a few vital free organizations of state isn't the manner by which to fortify, secure and support our majority rule government. A considerable lot of such organizations are currently going genuine validity and trust emergency than at any other time, because of your activities.
How might a majority rule government be secured and supported when your activities keep on removing the basic resources that free organizations of express that act as abuffer for our majority rules government need the most - validity and public trust? I have tried not to name such state foundations so I don't add to the test of public trust they are now confronting. However, I have most likely that you know the foundations I'm discussing and the problematic arrangements you have made.
I'm, hence, not shocked that when the multi-million agreement between the Service of Money and Ghana Income Authority (GRA) on one hand and an organization called Vital Mobiliation Restricted (SML) on the other, was as of late uncovered as shameful, you decided on a confidential firm, KPMG, to review the arrangement rather than the many state organizations that are commanded to research such matters.
Maybe, you have additionally lost trust and trust in the state establishments. Any other way, how could you sidestep at any rate, the Inspector General of Ghana, whom you delegated to supplant the one you bothered and illegally eliminated from office. Don't you trust him as well? How could you rather need to spend state assets to pay a confidential firm to direct a review into an obscure state contract, when there is a state inspector who is paid with public assets?
Indeed, various associations and conspicuous people have said that given the current connection among GRA and KPMG, which you will surely know about, they can't believe that KPMG will do a persistent review. I want to believe that you will pay attention to those voices.
So Mr. President, while your call for Ghanaians to give their very best for guarantee the life span of the Fourth Republic is correct, your activities should likewise be those that advance, secure and support a vote based system instead of those that subvert majority rule values, standards and principles.
It is my expectation that you will utilize the last year of your administration to offer our country a superior authority as opposed to additionally subverting our vote based system. Given your certifications and height preceding becoming President and the exclusive requirements individuals had of you, it will be miserable for you to turn out to be the most terrible Leader of the Fourth Republic and the person who debilitated our majority rule government. I want to believe that you will act to keep away from that unenviable record in Ghana's set of experiences.
Yet again blissful New Year!!
