In Ghana, my ancestral native country, the political arena has become the most lucrative field where a successful entrant can pluck gold from trees with their eyes closed.

One can become super rich within a year or two when they are lucky enough to be offered a ministerial appointment, become an MMDCE (Metropolitan, Municipal, or District Chief Executive), or become a top party member.

Does this not explain why many Ghanaians will do whatever it takes to enter politics, attack, and soil the reputation of their opponents and may not even think twice when harming these opponents in their attempts to win elections?

If it were not so, why would the NDC continually execute its obvious diabolic agenda of sabotage, perpetration of lies and wickedness, destruction, and condemnation against the NPP?

If it were not so, would there be that heightened level of lawlessness in Ghana, hatched and supported by political parties?

Why has politics become so dangerous to the point of some political parties, the NDC, of course, allegedly making it their policy to kidnap, kill, insult, and set fire to public markets just to cause public disaffection for the ruling NPP government to get them voted out of power?

This fact is made bare by former NDC Chairman Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo’s leaked audiotape, in which he was coaching some NDC members in a secret meeting to carry out such an agenda.

Does it make any sense for some aspiring members of parliament to spend, say, GHC2 million each to ensure they win their seats? For the whole term of their office, four years, will their salary, ex-gratia, rent allowance, loan for a car, etc., amount to GHC 2 million? No!

Why then do they spend more than they will earn in salaries and emoluments bribing voters just to win their seats? Does this not tell you they will go to parliament only to find means to steal from the public and lord themselves over the people instead of serving their constituents and the nation?

I wish to see this despicable attitude of the Ghanaian politician stopped by any means possible. They are directly responsible for the socio-economic regression of Ghana.

How best can we stop our Ghanaian politicians from stealing to enrich themselves and their families and cronies?

Until we successfully curtail their excessive appetite for corruption, power, and fame, Ghana will continually wobble in socio-economic stagnation, if not retrogression.

Shame on all these corrupt Ghanaian politicians.

Should I invoke an irreversible curse upon the corrupt Ghanaian politicians if that could help curtail their fondness for corruption? I don’t have the power to do so.

Most of the members of the nation’s judiciary are equally corrupt as the politicians, if not worse.

Why is infatuation with corruption the main course meal for Ghanaian politicians, judges, and top civil service workers?

Could there be any effective source of remedy somewhere to cure the Ghanaian politicians, judges, lawyers, and security service personnel of their illness called corruption?

Nemesis will catch up with you, all ye corrupt and wicked Ghanaian politicians that have made politics an arena for enriching themselves within a twinkle of an eye.
