REMEMBERING LATE COMRADE AND PRESIDENT, JERRY JOHN RAWLINGS

Our late Comrade and President Rawlings, the people of this country whom you loved so much and died for have been led into an economic mess, suffering, and poverty which is worse than what led you to risk your life to save this country and give it a viable constitution that has lasted for three decades.

THE LIZARD THAT JUMPED FROM A HIGH IROKO TREE– THE 2022 BUDGET

The Ghanaian electorate had been hoodwinked with a circus of deceptions since 26th November 2021 of sham disagreements amongst the Nana Akufo-Addo one-party dance ensemble in Parliament. We are now at the stage of what the two caucus in Parliament wanted and anticipated the most in the 2022 Budget season – the Budget Committee hearings and specially the accompanying allowances of various forms and shapes. The Minority enabled the appointment of the Minister of Finance together with any 2022 Budget hardships he inflicts upon Ghanaians. Judas Iscariot repented. The NDC can do the same.

AMANKWAH & ABIGAIL MENSAH PETITION AGAINST MARTIN AMIDU

I will always put Ghana First before Party as demanded by the 1992 Constitution. Indeed, the NDC Constitution itself recognizes that it is inferior to the 1992 Constitution. It does not abolish the right of NDC members to exercise their supreme rights as citizens of Ghana to defend the 1992 Constitution against acts of NDC members and Government and even against the NDC Constitution itself when it is inconsistent with and in contravention of the said national Constitution. The Woyome/Waterville case underpins all my actions in the Supreme Court and writings since 2012 and I do so in defence of the Constitution and laws of Ghana which are superior to the NDC Constitution. I will rather defend the 1992 Constitution than be intimidated by John Mahama, Woyome, and their surrogates’ unconstitutional petitions.

NDC CREATED THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION CHAOS

There is an unsavory development in which some politicians - particularly some Members of Parliament and other political office holders – have cultivated the dishonourable habit of under-rating the intelligence of We the People by filling the press with half-truths. They misrepresent the injunctions of the Constitution and laws of Ghana to court cheap public sympathy any time one of the law enforcement agencies executes the law against one of them for the suspected commission of crime. I hate the hypocrisy, double standards and audacity of the Minority in Parliament to unlawfully and unconstitutionally impede police in the performance of their duties contrary to their very oaths of office as Members of Parliament, simply because their colleague is now under suspicion of crime in relation to the stinking AMERI contracts. Being a Member of Parliament cannot be used by former Government Ministers as an insurance against the commission or suspected commission of crimes. Ghanaians, be alert!

PRESIDENT MAHAMA’S LAST MIDNIGHT APPOINTMENTS

One would have thought that the massive defeat of the Looter Government never witnessed in the annals of Ghanaian history would make it circumspect of how it handles the last days of its dying pangs as a Looter Government so that the Independent Prosecutor may have mercy upon them. Unfortunately impunity and corrupt behavior once internalized is difficult to change over-night as subsequent events show. Ghana is worth dying for and so fellow citizens speak up and defend your 7th December 2016 votes by not allowing this looter Government to deliberately make it impossible for the Government you popularly vote for to govern smoothly upon assuming office on 7th January 2017. Do not sit on the fence at this last hour and allow looters who came into office by the razor-thin majority vote of Justices of the Supreme Court to intimidate fellow citizens Putting Ghana First.

INTERCEPTION OF POSTAL PACKETS & TELECOMMUNICATION MESSAGES

I examine and analyze the memorandum to or accompanying the Bill to see whether or not it complies with Article 106 (2) of the Constitution to warrant its introduction in Parliament and conclude that it does not. I proceed to examine and analyze selected provisions of the Bill and adduce reasons why they may be unconstitutional, inconsistent with existing law, or need to be harmonized with the existing law to achieve the objects of Article 106(2) of the Constitution in addressing defects in the existing law and providing remedies to those defects in the Bill. I conclude with the conviction that the civil liberties of Ghanaians may require that the Bill be withdrawn to enable it meet the constitutional precondition for it to be properly introduced in Parliament.

I HAVE NOTHING PERSONAL AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT OR THE PRESIDENT

In my whole life I have never courted praise or approbation in playing out my character. I would rather stand for what I believe to be the truth even if it means I stand alone. No insults or name calling will change that after more than 64 years of my existence. I should be able to tell my maker when I get out or up there or wherever it may be, that I served Him or Her to the best of my ability; I served the Holy Catholic Church to the best of my human ability; I served my nation truly and served my people.

THE NDC GOVERNMENT'S POLITICAL MANIFESTO WHITE PAPER

When one reads the leaked report of the Sole Judgment Debt Commissioner one is left in no doubt of the excellent work the Commissioner had been able to undertake within the short period at his disposal for such an enormous assignment. Of course as a distinguished lawyer who had risen from the High Court to the Court of Appeal, the erudition displayed in his work attests to his competence as a judge that ought to make members of the legal profession and fellow citizens proud. Unfortunately, the Government is playing politics and propaganda with such excellent work by .

LEAKED APOLOGY LETTER FROM OFFICE OF PRESIDENT

When the Presidency is reduced to a leaking pot of correspondence, such actions magnify perceptions of corruption from the Presidency and the Government, as the lack of integrity and honour in governance is an integral part of the manifestation of endemic corruption.

MARTIN AMIDU ON GBEVLO-LARTEY’S ALLEGATION

Response to GBEVLO-LARTEY ATTACKS AMIDU article. I am yet to read a retraction from the Daily Guide but it is important the public knows that I was never informed by the Daily Guide that it had any story from Gbevlo-Lartey that it intended to publish the next day. Samuel Buabeng has already on his own and in my defence given a fitting reply to Gbevlo-Lartey on his Facebook wall which I endorse entirely even though I would have advised him to wait awhile. Consequently, I will be letting him and the public down by still refusing to react for fear of any fight. The intention to overwhelm me with personal and sometimes selfishly-motivated attacks by agents of Government and the NDC will not succeed.

MAHAMA GOVERNMENT CANNOT LEAD FIGHT AGAINST NARCOTIC DRUGS

No leadership can fight against drug trafficking when it closes its eye to abuse of the law enforcement regime of trafficking in psychotropic and narcotic substances, particularly cocaine and heroin which transits or is imported into his country.

GHANA@50 RULING INFORMED BLACK STARS' COMMISSION OF INQUIRY

The current NDC Government's new policy to use Commissions of Enquiry merely as Truth Commissions which only make adverse findings against individuals without a right to criminal prosecutions is not acceptable. It allows the covering up of crimes and particularly bribery and corruption of partisan political elite and Government appointees, and it is inconsistent with and contravenes not only the Constitution of Ghana but also the letter and spirit of the NDC Constitution and all its manifestos.

FIGHTING GRAFT & CORRUPTION UNDER DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENTS

This is the time for all patriotic citizens who believe in accountability, probity and transparency to speak out for the fair and impartial prosecutions of all crimes, particularly those involving graft and corruptions by associates of governing political parties in Ghana by insisting on putting Ghana First. All patriotic citizens have the right and duty under Article 3 of the Constitution at this time, more than any other, to defend the Constitution. The diversionary propaganda of persecuting non-Government associates while invidiously protecting hard core associates suspected of crime must be stopped.

WHY MARTIN AMIDU IS NOT USING GOVERNMENT CHANNELS FOR ADVOCACY

Written in response to criticism about appropriate channels for the discourse about Government accountability and transparency. Exposing the dialogue of the deaf, with the Government and the NDC ignoring foundation members’ calls for reforms in the Government to enable it to win the elections.
