Ghana: Innocent Until Proven Guilty
14th Nov 2006, 21:58 GMT
It is very disheartening to read political news from Ghana these days. Gone are days when politicians meet on "talking point" to discuss real issues that will make an impact on the lives of ordinary Ghanaians. It seems the only issue the media is interested in is the cult of Rawlings and Kuffour. What is appalling about is situation is that they kept feeding us the same diet over and over again. Are there any opinion leaders in the country, or it is the case that our opinion leaders themselves are caught in the endless game of politicking with every issues of grave national concern. At a rally in Kumasi, the current President, J.A Kuffour, accused his predecessor J. J. Rawlings of soliciting funds from an oil rich country to overthrow his government without providing an iota of evidence. He went on to claim that his government would deal with the issue effectively. When confronted to substantiate the allegation with facts or evidence neither the president nor his ministers would provide any. They prefer to further sink Ghanaians in to an endless confrontation on this issue. They even refuse to mention the country Rawlings was alleged to have solicited such funds. Nevertheless some NPP empty heads are ready to accept those arguments as the bases to crucify Rawlings for his responds, even though he was the accused.
