Humphrey reveals NPP malicious behavior

Sun, 3 Aug 2008 Source: Mensah, Humphrey Tettey

Never take someone for granted, hold every person close to your heart because you might wake up one day and realize that you have lost a diamond whiles busy collecting stones. NPP has been taken the electorates for granted and they are now busy perpetuating lies. They will definitely wake up December 8, and will realize that they have lost the elections. NPP YOU WILL SURELY LOOSE THE ELECTION COME DECEMBER……….VOTE ATTA-MILLS AND NDC FOR A BETTER GHANA……EYE ZU EYE ZA ZA . Certainly, we have known NPP for a very long time that they, as a party, use terroristic tactics to intimidate their opponents – bomb throwing, Example. KUNUNGUGU BOMB, acts of vandalism and hooliganism. Edumadze, as the then Central Regional Minister, terrorized a taxi driver in Suhum in the Eastern Region. He is reported to have assaulted a Daily Graphic news reporter only last Month. Alan Kyeremateng has learned this terroristic tactics of the Danquah-Busia tradition the very hard way.

While intimidating opponents, the government was staunchly supporting its ministers who fell into trouble. When a Ghana Airways plane on loan to the United Arab Airline WAS DESTROYED BY Israeli bombs at Beirut Airport, the ministry of Transport and Communications prevented a national assembly committee from investigating the minister, Haruna Esseku, after J.H. Mensah was found to be on the board of directors of Odumasi Farms contrary to the provisions of the constitution, Busia failed to rebuke him and even declared his support for him in Parliament. We are experiencing the same thing today under Kufour. History has repeated itself. What did Kufour do when all these allegations are leveled against his ministers: Akuffo-Addo, Kwamina Bartels, Adda, Edumadze, The IGP, ETC…….

WE KNOW TOO MUCH- NPP is known for a very long time as arrogant, cheats, and no vision and in the looting business. We have known the Danquah-Busia tradition for seeking their selfish interests rather than the national interests. If NPP were in the opposition now, Nana Akuffo-Addo would use this visit to lobby the US Government against funding the Millennium Challenge Account as Busia did with respect to the funding of the Akosombo Dam Project. They are self centered arrogant crooks.

WE KNOW TOO MUCH- We know Danquah-Busia tradition for a very long time that they do not care about the welfare of the people. As Danquah said: “Yen adehyee nni won nkwankwaafoo nni hwee ye” – we the royals have nothing in common to do with the masses (the plebeians, the verandah boys or “standard seven” people, in Ghanaian parlance). Actually, the Danquah-Busia tradition did not subscribe to political party-based parliamentary democracy. They wanted leadership determined on the basis of one’s birth because they believed in a divine right to rule by the royal class. They believe in nepotism, divisiveness, vindictiveness, stealing, looting and corruption.

WE KNOW TOO MUCH- We know Danquah-Busia tradition for a very long time for doing the bidding of their colonial and ne-colonial masters by either sending a delegation to London to tell the British that we were not ready to rule ourselves or implementing the dictates of their masters at the World Bank/IMF through rampant liberalization and privatization programmes. Since the overthrow of the Nkrumah nationalist and African personality centered government, the Danquah-Busia tradition have allowed World Bank/IMF personnel to be resident within the seat of the Ghana government to co-opt government policies. This has resulted in increased aid dependency and external debt entrapment. WE KNOW TOO MUCH- We know the Danquah-Busia tradition for a very long time for not standing up against the narcotics and armed robbery menace plaguing the country. As a matter of fact, they tried to pass a law so that Narcotics Peddling People (NPP) like Amoateng (a former NPP member of parliament) caught in jails outside Ghana would be transferred to “serve” the rest of their jail terms in their ill-gotten homes in Ghana. Will Nana visit the narcotic peddling person (NPP) like Amoateng who is languishing in North American prisons?

As matter of fact, seized drugs have disappeared from police custody more often and more blatantly during the NPP administration than any other time in Ghana’s history. And no one in the police system has been held accountable for the negligence of duty.

As a matter of fact, Effa-Dartey, NPP Member of Parliament, and formerly with Narcotics Board as well as an aspiring NPP presidential candidate, said he would go into law practice to defend people arrested for peddling narcotics. Narcotic Peddling People like Dzorwulu NPP officers (Abenaa Foriwaa, Comfort Akua Amankwaa, and Ama Nyarkoa) and the NPP bigwigs did not see that as a conflict of interest.

Under the watch of the so-called apostles of human rights Mobilla, a CPP officer was murdered in police/military custody, and Ya Na and 40 his people were murdered in broad daylight and interestingly, Akuffo Addo’s law firm is representing the suspect in that murder case. At the Accra Sports Stadium Stampede, 126 people were crushed to death because of the police incompetence. No one was held accountable for this reprehensible act.

NPP – we are tired of knowing you and your terroristic and nation-wrecking and looting tactics for this long. We will definitely unseat you come December 2008 elections. Your tricks will not work this time around; we are now as wise as a serpent so do not try that nonsense again. The NPP gurus know for a fact that their leader is unfit to wear the crown of the presidency. All the promises made by Akuffo-Addo are just like chaff. The difference is crystal clear.

Vote Professor Mills for a better Ghana, but some say the coming election is about the comparison of records of our respective parties and candidates. There is no problem with the record of the NDC in Government and we know that we will do even better next time we are in Government. At the same time there can be no doubt that the 2008 election is also about leadership and character, about the human qualities of the person into whose hands the people of Ghana are going to entrust their future. Professor Atta Mills will bring to the table the core values of truth, honesty and humility which have guided him through life.

The Prof. believes political leadership and decency are not mutually exclusive. He is committed to a decent, honest, humble and truthful government to mend the broken trust between government and the people. And because of the paralysis of leadership that has resulted from the

Unnecessary political partisanship of recent years, He will also make a commitment to fairness to all Ghanaians. Professor Mills promise he will be fair to all Ghanaians He will be President for all Ghanaians; not the NDC, not his family, not his friends. He will be mindful of the imperatives of national unity in all that he will do as President. He will demonstrate caring leadership and good character with a steely resolve for social justice. Atta-Mills is the man of the moment and he will surely change the fortune of Ghanaians as Peter Senge once said “is not about the vision, but what the vision does”. Professor Mills will lead the government of transparency and honesty.

VOTE PROFESSOR MILLS FOR A BETTER GHANA

Long live Atta-Mills Long live NDC Long live Ghana

VOTE NDC FOR A BETTER GHANA
