All progress is precarious, and the solution of one problem brings us face to face with another problem. It is therefore not painful to see a very wide ditch ahead of you but it is really piteous and painful to fall right into such a ditch even when you do not hurt yourself in the process. Undeniably, all attention has swayed to the side of government, neglecting the other lanes of the country. Decongesting a crowded place is an effective idea since it allows free movement of people and enhances the progress of such a place. Nobody can dispute such activity, unless the person doesn’t seek the interest of the nation. But the confusion surrounding this activity is that when undertaking this activity, what solution are you suggesting to the situation. Sending people away from their long-lived place of residence is very deplorable to the victims. Therefore, we should not advocate for decongestion when there is no solution.Also, it is very politic to expend an amount of money to renovate the poor facilities of the Armed Forces. So, the question I ask myself is “Why the hateful misunderstanding?” It is no crime for government to refurbish the Armed Forces with good air crafts or jets but it has become a difficult sea for government to swim across since once in opposition, certain protests were being fired at the ruling government which is now at the bench of opposition. Well, I believe the adage; “What goes round comes round” is no mere fallacy. Yes, it is being given a lot of explanation by the Honorable Minister of Information, Zita Okaikoi, in an interview with Peace Fm, referring to it as just a proposal sent to the cabinet. Whether a proposal or not, it is irrefutable that what they once objected to has become very significant. It all boils down to the fact that the Armed Forces is demanding for renovation since the poor facilities are decelerating the smooth administration of the Armed Forces. When the cat is not around, the mice rejoice. So, when His Excellency “Our brothers and Sisters” is silent and speechless over things that the masses expect of him to touch, then those whom power is delegated to, turn to bully the weak whose opinions are not well taken into much consideration. I guess you can sense what I am driving at and is nothing too strange than the School Feeding Programme.If the supply of uniforms as promised can’t be figured out, does this mean people must be deprived of their cooking skills and the chance to feed? Once again, I am not preaching according to the gospel that expelling incompetent cooks from the School Feeding System is execrable but undertaking a dangerous plan which will pierce through the heart of those victimized is really appalling. Those given a one week notice to pack their luggage and baggage, and therefore go home or re-apply to find luck can’t express their discontent in any way than to adhere to the instruction from the so-called above. A whole lot of concerned citizens have contributed their quota to the situation by registering their resentment though, but none of their contributions can wipe off the indelible mark of indiscipline on the part of those given the little freedom to rule (referring to; the Accra Metropolitan Assembly-A.M.A). Indeed, there is nothing that goes up which will never come down. Government should know that the people of Ghana have entrenched their trust in it. So, behaving as if in opposition or making reference to something that everybody considered as bane on the development of the country, will not improve the already worsened situation. Government, grow up! Also, celebrating the centenary or birthday of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah who has been very resilient and instrumental in the attainment of Ghana's independence is a monumental thing to do.But when treading upon the tail of a lion, you should be very cautious of the mouth because it might turn wicked and harm you.Therefore, the organizers of the centenary celebration of Dr.Kwame Nkrumah should play their cards well since if a slight fault is detected,it will call for Dr. Kwame Nkrumah at 100 probe and serious encounter with the Bureau of National Investigation (BNI). Finally, I bet to disagree with His Excellency President J.E.A Mills by ordering his Honorable Vice President John Mahama, to do all the PR (Public Relations) work about the state of the economy whilst he sits in his comfortable couch in the Castle. I think we cast our votes for a humble President and not an anti-sociable President who doesn’t see the need in attending certain events, when his presence is extremely significant. I would like to appeal to the governmental officials to put their long-developed hatred behind them and do what they are expected to do right in order to receive laudable appreciation from those who exercised their power through thumbprint. They should not forget that it is now a top-down game (whereby the masses have to depend on the government for survival), in no time, the nature of the game will change.
