Ghana is not a Serious Country: Hypocrisy and Sycophancy abounds

GREED!

The hypocrisy of praising the use of the MILITARY in the Agbogbloshie Eviction at a time the nation was grieving the MILITARY BRUTALITIES and MURDER of Ghanaians is unbelievable.

Joy FM yesterday interviewed the Greater Accra Regional Minister, just a day after the Ashanti Regional Minister confirmed to the EJURA Committee of Enquiry that he ordered the deployment of the Military who killed the people EJURA.

The Greater Accra Regional Minister did not only order the deployment of the MILITARY and other armed security personnel but claimed other Ministers were actively involved…

The Greater Accra Regional Minister said the President must be credited for not interfering or STOPPING the deployment which is still at Agbogbloshie and said the troops will remain there for as long as he deemed necessary.

The claim by the Greater Accra Regional Minister who previously was Deputy National Security Minister and Deputy Interior Minister, that the notorious criminals were in Agbogbloshie implies the notorious criminals have been relocated to Adjen Kotoku.

THINK ABOUT IT.

Building a Mosque at Adjen Kotoku will not purge those alleged   criminals who until their relocated were based next to the Central Mosque.

THINK ABOUT IT.

What will become of the large tract of Land secured by the reallocation or eviction exercise?

IS IT STATE LAND?

The Executive Instrument for the acquisition of such STATE LANDS will clearly state the reason for acquisition, exact location and size as well as the duration of the LEASE to the User Government Agency or Institution.

IS AGBOGBLOSHIE FOR THE MINISTRY OF YOUTH AND SPORTS or the INTERNATIONAL CENTRAL GOSPEL CHURCH?

Why didn’t the Greater Accra Regional Minister evict the ICGC, if they were also squatters on the Agbogbloshie Land?

THINK ABOUT IT.

Why did Zoomlion, Sikkens, Japan Motors and other private interests sponsor the eviction of squatters and securing of the Agbogbloshie Land?

THINK ABOUT IT.

Why did the Regional Minister say in the Joy FM interview that the Defence Minister rather than the Youth and Sports Minister would soon announce the use to which the Agbogbloshie Land would be put to?

THINK ABOUT IT.

Is Agbogbloshie now “MILITARY LAND” like is being claimed at KPLETSO for which journalists and citizens of La were assaulted by some violent and unruly men in Ghana Army Uniforms who FIRED LIVE BULLETS in the presence of Senior Police Officers?

Where is the Report on investigation into the KPLETSO ASSAULT that the Military High Command promised on 16th April, 2021?

Did the Ghana Police conduct routine investigation into the KPLETSO ASSAULT and FIRING OF LIVE BULLETS by the Military?

Did the senior Police officers who witnessed the KPLETSO ASSAULT make official the crimes committed in their presence?

The WA assault by violent and unruly men in Ghana Army and the promise by the Military High Command can only be window dressing…

Can we trust the Ghana Police to conduct an investigation into the assault or shootings by the Military?

The chronicle of MILITARY and POLICE brutalities, shootings and MURDER from Asawase shooting, Techiman shooting, Ablekuma Central shooting, Odododioodioo shooting, the invasion of the Chamber of Parliament, the Kpletsoo shooting, the Ejura shooting to the Wa beatings makes the Agbogbloshie Eviction amid shootings and deployment of MILITARY seem.like the New Normal.

THINK ABOUT IT.

THE Military MUST BE be IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO THEIR BARRACKS.

The Military must be deployed sparingly perhaps for GUARDING BULLION VANS instead of the LANDGUARDS job they are currently being used for.

The focus on land grabbing, show of power must not become New Normal.

The Military must not be allowed to investigate itself and claim to punish itself when they crimes they committed were not against itself.

Those who deployed the unruly and violent men in Ghana Army Uniforms and those who actually committed the crimes must be arrested, publicly prosecuted and punished.

The Police and Military must be made to account for every single bullet fired by their officers.

Citizens must not accept the hypocrisy and the New Normal to persist.

BE CITIZENS, NOT SPECTATORS.
