Lots On My Mind...

a. DR. WEREKO BROBBEY

b. KOFI ADAMS

I have been looking for a heading for this post and I cannot seem to find any. What I know is as soon as I woke up this fine Thursday morning, I had these two topics above dancing in my head in no particular order. Dear post title, I hope you come out from where you are hiding soon. Well good afternoon to you too...Let’s start shall we. Politics in Ghana is very interesting, sometimes so interesting to the point of disbelief. We do and say soo many things with lots of short memory. I was not old enough to understand what was happening with his radio station been closed down or when he filed the suit against the NPP because he had lost the position of national chairman but because of his recent outbursts ala Martin Amidu style I decided to bother myself and go back into history. But before that let me tackle the issue that brought his outburst...the available parliamentary seats for Buem and Akatsi.

They became available because of the death of RIP Hon. Henry F. Kamel and the ascension to Speaker of Parliament by Hon. Doe Adjaho. Ok. These two seats can be found in the Volta Region of Ghana. Strictly nyebro.
Pause and think about this... (Forget about alleged rigging and Supreme Court matters arising or not) who in their right minds apart from the ruling National Democratic Congress will want contest these seats. This is not the national election where you sort of obliged to field a candidate come rain or water...these are by-elections under extraordinary circumstances.
RIP Hon. Kamel was really liked by his constituents, he is dead....what do you think they will do in his memory? Mind you, he was the substantive regional minister. Hon. Doe Adjaho is now the Speaker of the Parliament of Ghana. Such an honor. You think his constituents are in any rush to vote against the party that put him there....or I am the one who is seeing it differently. He has won that seat hands down I believe since 1996 and we are now in 2013. Do the math, are you kidding me.
Please if NPP did not even boycott those seats I will consider them extremely stupid. There is no way they will win.

Hold on! I know you are about to unleash "if it was Bantama will they boycott?” My answer is a simple no. Why? Because If you stand in Bantama whether NPP, NDC, CPP you are likely to win. If I am lying...look at the margins between candidates there and the margins between candidates in my mother's place of birth...Volta Region aka Chinese Bank. Big difference. Overwhelming difference infact.Sometimes politics in Ghana is not rocket science. That is why I believe in my heart that Dr. Brobbey wanted to say his thing a long time ago and didn't know how to say it till he got this chance. You have felt cheated sometime and went to court, a few years down the line, what is wrong if your "friend" decides to do same. What is wrong? Mind you.... your friend says he has evidence that he can use to prove the case, what is wrong?
What is wrong if the party that you once wanted to be national chairman seeks redress in court? What makes that wrong? Or the principle has changed. Or the party has informed a select few that once they are in court they will not contest any election in this lifetime? Why is he/people trying to make it look as if Nana Addo is desperately seeking to remain candidate? Am I the only one who has heard Nana saying that "I will accept what the court rules on finally"? Maybe I am and I should not be too surprised because that is what most people seem to take joy in. Cutting and pasting his words or worst case scenario totally becoming deaf to anything he says. Maybe I should be asking why does Nana Addo intrigue people soo much. It is very sad.

Yes the next point will be, he is saying this because of the interest of the party. No it is because of the interest of the nation especially the next elections and over that we understand how the biometric laws work so that everybody is clear in their minds what they are up against. Another point is he is Victor Owusu nephew. I am also Joseph Boachie- Danquah great grand niece, I am the cousin to Oseedeayo Ageman Badu the current Dormaa Omanhene, I am also the godchild of Prof. Emeritus Mrs. Miranda Naabia Greenstreet and... So what?
Mr. Victor Owusu is famous for criticizing Dr. Busia at a rally. My history (correct me if I am wrong) tells me of how Mr. Owusu openly criticized Dr Busia at a rally chief among reasons..."why are opposition elements finding jobs everyday and their people not getting jobs....ummm and why should we have relations with then apartheid South Africa". And ummm that makes the mentioning or it is public declaration of blood ties fascinating?!! Really?! I will leave that one to you to toss about in your head.

That is why sometimes I like General Mosquito. Once you leave the team and piss out plenty...no matter what you do to come back, he looks at you and laugh in his head. Guess it is time to roll Mr. Kofi Adams...But hahahahahahahaaa what was he expecting or he had forgotten himself. I am soo surprised he actually thought he was going to be accepted. He had a perfect living example. Dr. Spio Gabrah. Whatever he did after the Team A and Team B love letter was off no consequence. He has broken the bonds of trust. Reminds me of the mafia...your word is your bond. You are either completely in or completely out. Or he thought because the others were accepted, accepted without trust? You might as well stay an orphan!! Hahahhha. Please Mr. Adams very consistent next time around because you know what the General in all his glory has made you look very small. Infact very very small. Nothing much to say about this. When you make your bed of roses, don’t forget the thorns as you lie down. But we can make him honory Member of Parliament of Buem...or? Hahhhahha.

This is was not dancing in my mind but let me add it. I do not know the different stages of parliamentary work the minority in parliament intend to boycott but the vetting committee should not have been one of them. Oga in his wisdom with advisers in tow have selected people with some given them serious titles. Some of them overlap but hmmm because of post and pilolo skills...people especially the nominees are not ready to accept that. Thats ok. Really. As for the overlapping truth and territorial war fare....it will happen soon.
But who misses a chance to show someone that some of his choices suck. I sure know not me...Sigh. Peharps the answer I might get is who wants to sit with someone who has been fingered as being the mastermind behind the famous Woyome case. Where is the moral right/ ethic of that person in vetting potential public officers. That is Ghana for you. Once you think, you have nibbed the bud some where then another gaping hole appears. Will they vet Mawuena Trebah?! I would not want to miss that...working hour blues.

Have a good day though and please tell the Black Stars to score...or else we will send them to face the Malian insurgents. I still have not found a name...is lots on my mind ok? That should do.

Peace.
