I read an article on Ghanaweb about a man beaten by NPP supporters including 3 POLICEMEN at a peoples assembly in Sunyani today. Where are we going to? The authorities claim to be a democratic nation. But there is a question mark. Are they setting good example? Hmmm, maybe the word is often used wrongly by both government and some of us.
What is the essence of the people's assembly? What has it achieved so far. For me, I think it is unnecessary. How could one be beaten by part activists for just airing his views. Are we safe. Some people should know better. If I had means, I would sack the 3 policemen who took part in the assault. They actually don't know their duties. I think they are among those who are destroying the name of the industry. I was not there but I have seen the picture and believe that the story is true. I was really shocked though this was not first time but the reason of the beaten. If I was the one who organized the programme to resign and call it off after the incident.
I live in Manchester, United Kingdom and though we cannot compare Ghana's politics to here, but sometimes it is quite interesting and even funny. If the organizers of the programme wanted only questions that favours the government, then it is of no use and it is rather a waste of money and a camouflage of wasting state resources. I know those who did this would be set free because it is the norm for the country. Do what we say but not what we do.
How do we expert Ghana to move forward with all this happening. Are we being ruled by a military government? Evangelist Boateng was beaten for asking or saying something about Kufour's Hotel money. An article which even appeared in the Manchester stressing the fact that many African Leaders are corrupt.
If we countinue to do this then Ghana has a very very long way to go.
The picture above is about an Evangelist who was beaten after asking Kufour about the hotel money?
