Mr President , Accept the US
Embassy’s Tweet As an Advice - Prof. Nsia-Pepra advises Mahama
A US based political science professor, Kofi Nsia-Perpa, has
advised president Mahama to stop the political gimmicks about
the US tweet and take bold decisions to end the misery of
Ghanaians. Prof. Nsia-Pepra said “the US tweet is a clarion
manifestation of the frustrations of suffering Ghanaians and our
international stakeholders about bad governance in Ghana.” The
truth is, suffering Ghanaians are conscious of their misery as a
consequence of corrupt and inept leadership.” No amount of
political gimmicks such as demands for public apology and puppet
and rented public demonstrations can deny the fact that
Ghanaians today face serious social and economic crises.”
Nsia-Pepra, an expert in international relations, good
governance , international human rights law and conflict
resolution said, Ghanaians are despondent and have lost trust in
Mahama’s governance because “we are witnesses to the loot by the
privileged few in power and their relations whiles the lumping
majority poor live in abject poverty and social demise.” “The
truth is Ghana has been bedeviled with leadership dishonesty and
paralysis for far too long. Enough is enough and the earlier we
end poor governance and official corruption the better. The
recent strikes are signals of the anger of the people and
potential explosion. Do not take the people for granted Mr.
President because an implosion would be difficult to manage.”
Professor Nsia-Pepra, a former Air Force Officer, advised
President Mahama, to sit up and take the necessary bold
decisions to emancipate suffering Ghanaians from their social,
political and economic doldrums.” He said “I challenge you to
take bold steps to punish those involved in corruption starting
with your government and party in order to gain the trust of the
majority poor.”
“Ghana today needs incorruptible, transparent and visionary
leadership and Ghanaians have onerous responsibility to fight
for accountable leadership” he said. He cautioned individual
members of the civil society against manipulations by the
government to divide their front with gifts such as the cars to
the Chiefs. He advised Ghanaians to “persistently focus on the
collective interests of sustainable social, economic and
political development and justice for all Ghanaians.” He is very
optimistic that Ghana will be a better place if we eschew
individual greed for the sake of the common good.
