Ghana today is not what our founding fathers envisioned. The founding fathers risked their lives to give us freedom and justice to dream, to innovate, to defend our rights and resist oppressors’ rule. There is no freedom and justice in the Corrupt Republic of Ghana now.

The president of the 4th Republic of Ghana has been given absolute powers by the 1992 constitution as a stamp of corruption. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. The fish rots from the head. As the head of the government is corrupt so are his followers and institutions under whom.

Ghanaians are politically drunk, according to CNN, that everything is tied with political party affiliation. School children in Ghana know more about corruption than patriotism and volunteerism. The children are being thought that the only ways to gain employment, and secure bank loans is to hold a party card. They live lavishly without productivity. The only job worth doing in the Corrupt Republic of Ghana is making “connections” for quick money.

Corrupt legal and law enforcement systems breed anarchy and lawlessness. Ghana is heading to a state of vigilantism where street justice is the only thing the citizens believe in. they would not believe in the legal system in light of the recent Supreme Court verdict on the election petition.

Taxation without representation is not just. The Corrupt Republic of Ghana has become animal farm where some are more equal than others. This could lead to tax revolt and social unrest.

The president of the Corrupt Republic of Ghana is not accountable to the tax payer, is not transparent and refuses to declare his asset mandated by the constitution, and shows no remorse for failed policies. The Corrupt Republic of Ghana is the 34th worst nation to conduct business.

Think for what you can do for your country and not what your country can do for you. JFK. We need a few good man and women to sacrifice and resuscitate mother Ghana. Ghana is worth dying for, but Ghanaians have to change the foundation -The 1992 Constitution to bring about true democracy where the executive, legislative and judiciary are truly separated and independent. The residents at the local level must be empowered to decide their priorities and manage their affairs.

God bless our home land Ghana.
