Akufo-Addo’s talkative government is blaming Chiefs for Galamsey;
Ghanaians are waiting to see when Akufo-Addo will order the arrest of the Okyehene, his subchiefs and members of their private Army, Militia cum Galamsey Vigilante group that went on a shooting spree last week?
The Asantehene bluntly put the failure of Ghana’s Fight Against Galamsey on President Akufo-Addo and his lack of seriousness while fingering the Lands Minister and Ashanti Regional Minister of attempting to gag him…
Hon. Ibrahim Mutala (MP) was more more blunt, accusing President Akufo-Addo of being an accomplice in the ongoing Galamsey, using his Community Mining as a smokescreen for allowing his appointees and cronies to engage in Galamsey while using the Aisha Huang trial as a diversion.
Ghanaians are demanding an immediate freeze on all forms of mining until the Galamsey and the effects on the environment particularly the pollution of the rivers and water bodies, destruction of forests and farmlands including Cocoa farms are fully restored.
That is what will signal seriousness of the President in the fight against Galamsey.
Galamsey is worse than COVID-19 pandemic yet President Akufo-Addo is behaving like he is at a musical concert…
Galamsey is an existential threat to Ghana and Ghanaian lives are in imminent danger, yet there is no urgency…
President Akufo-Addo is refusing to address the Nation to lay out decisive comprehensive plans for ending this National Emergency that has been toyed with for years.
There must be a declaration of a State of Emergency if Akufo-Addo is serious about fighting Galamsey;
There must be a 100% HALT OF ALL FORMS OF MINING, if Akufo-Addo is serious about fighting Galamsey.
There must be the immediate interdiction of all involved in Galamsey Fight, Sacking of Lands, Forestry and Mineral Resources Ministers together with the heads of the Lands Commission, Forestry Commission and Minerals Commission.
If Akufo-Addo is serious about fighting Galamsey, there must be a shae up in the Military with the arrest and prosecution of those who offered protection for Galamseyers and those in the chain of command who authorised the deployments.
President Akufo-Addo must immediately sack the ECG Boss who yesterday at a Press Conference admitted failure.
There must be consequences for the monumental failure no matter the reasons, lest it becomes the norm.
How do you prosecute persons stealing electricity, harass those resisting Prepaid Meters even deliberately cut off electricity to an entire district as punishment only to fail in providing electricity to persons in many regions who already have Prepaid Meters and are willing to pay for electricity and hope to stay in office?
Whose money is to be used by ECG to pay for the compensation packages to persons and businesses affected by the ECG boss’ admitted failure?
President Akufo-Addo must show seriousness!
The Foreign Affairs Minister admitted to the shortage of Passport Booklets across the country.
Passports are required to secure Ghana Cards.
President Akufo-Addo is still silent as Ursula Owusu and Joe Anokye insist on Ghana Cards as the only ID required for SIM Card Re-Registration , resulting in loss of business for Ghanaians and Telcos, potential drop in telecommunications including MoMo transactions further affecting the E-LEVY and revenue projections further affecting his downgraded Junk Economy…
Why is Akufo Addo not sacking Ken Attafua, Ursula Owusu and Joe Anokye for non-performance?
Same reason Akufo-Addo is not sacking Ken Ofori-Atta, Charles Adu Boahen and Dr. Addison for their navigation of the Economy into a ditch and the Cedi to become the worst currency in the world.
Because he cannot admit publicly to the incompetence of Bawumia and his failure to manage the Economy, the Cedi and expose his shambolic Digitalisation scam.
HEADS MUST ROLL if Akufo-Addo is serious.
Ghanaians are tired of Akufo-Addo’s talkative no action time-wasting government.
Ghanaians are resolved to be Citizens and not Spectators.
It is just a matter of time.
The patience of Ghanaians is running out, the spontaneous demonstrations led by Chiefs and opinion leaders across the nation over Akufo-Addo’s failed promises particularly the poor state of roads after announcing three successive times a phantom “Year of Roads” with nothing to show for it, food shortage, Collapse of the Education system, Health Sector and growing unemployment amid excruciating hardships brought on by the collapsed economy…
Akufo-Addo must get serious!
Without any warning, the inevitable may happen…
Ghanaians may remain quiet and die of poisoning by Galamsey or die of starvation because few have stolen everything and Akufo-Addo is doing nothing about the fight against Galamsey and the fight against Corruption.
OR
As predicted by Akufo-Addo himself in the studios of Peace FM on Kwame Sefa Kayi’s Kokrokoo show and warned about by former Chief of Staff Kojo Mpiani and former National Security Coordinator General Nunoo-Mensah , the much dreaded UPRISING will happen…
Ghanaians must resist any military adventurers who may decide to take advantage of the obvious failure of President Akufo-Addo and his lack of seriousness.
Ghanaians however, have legal and Constitutional avenues to vent or have various officials removed from office.
The Electoral Commission has seen the successful removal from office of its Chairperson through an Article 146 Petition when President Akufo-Addo decided to be a conveyor belt or post office address as claimed by his beloved OccupyGhana and Chief Justice Sophia Akuffo.
OccupyGhana is hypocritically pretending that they are not aware that President Akufo Addo is breaching the 1992 Constitution by refusing to act on two (2) Article 146 Petitions for the removal of Jean Adukwei Mensa as EC Chairperson just like he did in the Article 146 Petition for the removal of Justice Sophia Akuffo as Chief Justice.
President Akufo-Addo is committing HIGH CRIME by his refusal to act on the Article 146 Petitions for the removal of Jean Adukwei Mensa as Chairperson of the Electoral Commission;
High Crime is grounds for removal of a President.
OccupyGhana is aware and prefer to threaten the Auditor General instead to divert attention.
The Jean Adukwei Mensa/Bossman Asare led EC is senselessly intending to introduce a Constitutional Instrument to use only the Ghana Card as basis for issuing Voters ID Cards for the 2024 Election despite being aware of the inability of the National Identification Authority to issue the Ghana Cards thereby disenfranchising millions of potential voters.
Ghana need not be plunged into chaos and instability by the foolhardiness of a few pigheaded people.
AriseGhana Youth for your country.
Ghanaians deserve answers from State Officials.
We don’t vote for Chiefs nor pay taxes to them.
The President and his appointees who wield executive power must stop passing the buck and arrest Chiefs who they believe are involved in Galamsey.
ENOUGH TALK.
God Save Our Homeland Ghana and help us survive the WASTED YEARS OF THE AKUFO-ADDO-BAWUMIA GOVERNMENT.
