Dear Osagyefo,
Wonders, they say, will never cease, especially when it comes to our beloved Ghana, the motherland! I vividly recall writing to you not too long ago, detailing the curious case of the missing ECG containers and the rather theatrical gentleman on TV, in his Sunday best, assuring us they’d been “found” scattered across Accra and its environs.
Well, prepare yourself for another plot twist worthy of a Ghanaian telenovela: the Minister of Energy is now confidently informing us that all 2,600-plus containers have been located… at the ports.
One is simply dying to know what DCOP Alhassan in his Sunday best was doing, proudly showcasing all the wires found in warehouses to the cameras. Was it an impromptu documentary? And speaking of scenes, what’s the deal with the Chinese nationals arrested in this whole… cabal? Our dear minister, bless his heart, has been a walking contradiction since day one. It’s almost as if things aren’t quite right. The PURC report on ECG wasn’t just damning; it was practically a mic drop. I’ve been shouting for privatization. Honestly, one wonders if the minister’s grand strategy is to make everything so spectacularly terrible that even a slight improvement looks like some Nobel Prize-worthy achievement. It’s a testament to our “frakadam” tendencies that most Ghanaians readily accepted the possibility that those 2000 containers were either missing from the port or had been diverted, a belief only amplified by DCOP Alhassan’s camera-accompanied tours of warehouses.
I welcomed the Vice President upon her return to the Republic, fresh from receiving care abroad. Curiously, we hear she jetted back on a chartered private jet. This, of course, casts a rather interesting light on that video of Mr. Ablakwa, who, with such conviction, promised to resign if anyone in his government ever dared to use a private jet. Yet, here we are. He’s not only brushed off calls for his resignation but seems to be stirring up trouble, including dismissing the IT team at the embassy. And, somehow, it’s taken them over five months just to audit the consular section.
The head of the judiciary, being treated as if she’s simply stumbled into the wrong courtroom: phones confiscated, husband barred, lawyers left out of the loop. These aren’t just minor inconveniences; they’re the kind of shenanigans that make you wonder the intentions to probe her.
Article 146, (8) “All proceedings under this article shall be held in camera, and the Justice or Chairman against whom the petition is made is entitled to be heard in his defence by himself or by a lawyer or other expert of his choice “ in my humble interpretation, is less about protecting the Chief Justice’s grand office and more about shielding the person holding it. Which means she’s perfectly entitled to ditch the “in camera” requirement and opt for a public spectacle, should she choose. Unless, of course, this committee thrives on mystery and doesn’t want the proceedings to actually benefit from transparency? Seriously, what’s there to hide?
Yours sincerely,
