The 2024 elections in Ghana must be fought and won on the integrity, honesty and policy programmes of the various candidates and their political parties. The unnecessary hyping of national tensions and promotion of violence which has the propensity to implode the 1992 Constitution just for the sake of raw power for its own sake without the interests of the citizens at heart must stop. Beware of 4 June 1979! Beware of 31 December 1981! None of the two major political parties will win when they undermine and facilitate the implosion of the 1992 Constitution.

An OSP Airbus SE report containing an objective evaluation and assessment of the evidential facts available to the OSP as of November 2020 as shown hereinbefore would have served the constitutional requirement of probity and accountability in public life by the OSP. Did the investigation and prosecution divisions partake in processes leading to the 8 August 2024 OSP report or was it a one-man enterprise? We need to know!

The content of the 8 August 2024 OSP report is subjective, a gargantuan hoax, and hollow, and does great disservice to former President Mahama by creating the perception of the OSP dabbling in the politics of election interference for the greedy self-serving interest of the OSP. It is in the interest of former President Mahama to insist on having a thorough and professional investigation that exonerates or inculpates the suspects and not this cooked one.

I exercised my right as a citizen of Ghana to bring the petition myself and I have no regrets for doing so despite the rigged outcome smacking of the exercise of the relics of imperial medieval powers. I am, however, confident that history shall absolve me when the content of my petition and the review submitted by the Chief Justice become available to the public for its evaluation. When the vendetta and trials of mere suspects in the court of public opinion start again, the utility of my petition will be remembered.

The mandatory within thirty days for the Chief Justice to determine whether there was a prima facie case by my calculations expired on 6 June 2024. The fourteen days within which she was to set up a committee should she determine a prima facie case expired before today, 20 June 2024. Joy FM is not telling the public whether a prima facie case was determined within the thirty days or not, and whether a committee has been set up within fourteen days thereafter or not. Whosoever the petitioner is has a right to be informed soonest that no prima facie case has been made by the petition.

I am not a coward or a liar in the terms of the question posed by Michela Wrong in her seminal book on corruption – “It’s Our Turn to Eat.” Like German Reich Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, I am quite happy to be called a coward because my strategic and tactical objectives are beyond their comprehension. Kofi Attor, the Speaker of Parliament’s Chief of Staff, also knows that I am not a liar. As a shot across the bow, Joy FM and Kofi Attor may wish to read the tip of the iceberg reported on: Alban Bagbin admits he is corrupt (audio) - Graphic Online. The evidence has always been in plain view all over the internet.

The two mango trees and other commendable narratives which the intermediary I asked to reach out to Dr. Sakara passed on to me showed clearly that Dr. Sakara is a self-accomplished person and not the fruit of the mango tree that falls only to stay where it fell. Dr. Sakara and I know each other, and you need not remind me of his accomplishment and prominence as a Ghanaian leader and politician. I will be the last person to defame Dr. Sakara and I completely disagree with your assertion that I defamed him in my article under reference.

The NDC can close its eyes to their self-confessed corrupt Speaker refusing to divulge his ailment for which the taxpayer doles out millions of cedis and foreign currency in Dubai but can use the “dire need of funds because of the economic crisis” as a reason for rejecting the tax waivers it has similarly approved under the NDC and NPP Governments until the dawn of the next elections in a few months time on 7 December 2024. Every patriot has a duty to ensure that the 1992 Constitution is defended, and the electorate is not Zombified into merely voting for rhetoric instead of on credible and cogent facts, and evidence meriting their votes.

I wish to state for the avoidance of doubt that Mr. Bagbin shall never have a withdrawal and apology from me for words I never used in my article published in the media on 27 May 2024 which are variously true, justifiable, and constitute fair comments or questions on public matters pertaining to a public officer, the Speaker, in the public interest. By Mr. Bagbin’s statement to all media houses he implicitly admits that he is a self-confessed corrupt person which means that he has no reputation whatsoever that can be defamed by me.

I cannot understand why the NDC will collaborate with the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng’s preferred rented media house, Joy FM, and his chief executioner there, Sampson Lardy Anyenini, to make allegations against me without publishing the alleged petition on which the allegations are based to provide me the opportunity to confirm or deny my signature and rebut or admit the accusations. Kissi Agyebeng, Joy FM, and the NDC’s McCarthyism must be stopped by all patriotic citizens before they implode the 1992 Constitution.

The Kissi Agyebeng inspired petition to Parliament to probe into EOCO’s failure to investigate the non-existing money laundering allegations against Cecilia Dapaah is an exercise in futility except when the self confessed corrupt National Democratic Congress (NDC) Speaker of Parliament decides to use the petition for transactional political purposes. An NDC Member of Parliament (MP) I brought up into the politics of the Fourth Republic just also confessed that one cannot be an MP without being corrupt. Is that true?

Kissi Agyebeng is so full of himself, he doesn’t see that by selectively appointing and giving higher ranks to some staff and neglecting others who think they deserve the same or better ranks he has antagonized several of his unlawfully appointed staff. How can he be parading a report which GNAT is contesting as reasons for his indispensability in the fight against corruption in Ghana? Especially when his OSP staff being paid in violation of Article 195 of the 1992 Constitution and Section 21 of Act 959 from the public purse are all ghost workers on the OSP payroll.

The possibility that in addition to whatever health problems of John Mahama may be known to the Ahwois and their cohort, is there also a kitchen cabinet plan to send John Mahama to sleep early, like Professor Mills, should he perchance win the 2024 elections, to make assurance double sure that their enterprise for their surrogate to become President before 2028 and, therefore, face no opposition for the nomination as the 2027 NDC flagbearer?

The NDC and the NPP appear to be so invested in their opposing positions and the desire to use the dynamics of gay rights to win political power that they have not stopped to think about the consequences of their actions to the sustenance of constitutionalism, democracy, and the rule of law. The elders in the room who could have sought a compromise appear to have taken sides leading to both sides engaging in a dialogue of the deaf.

“Self-preservation is the first law of nature”, and it would be political suicide for Nana Akufo-Addo to assent to the LGBTQ+ Bill being passed by Parliament into law. Nana Akufo-Addo’s long game, the aura he has built around himself as a democrat in the Western tradition, and all the ingratiation efforts he has invested in, will come to nought should he assent to the Bill upon passage. The fact that other citizens knew the difficulty the Bill was going to face when it got to the desk of the President was articulated by no less a person than Minority Leader Ato Forson.

The problem with the manner the NDC Press Release was couched is that from my personal experience whosoever has been nominated by John Mahama as his running mate must have been invited and offered the nomination and he or she must have accepted the nomination already. The Ahwoi’s and their cohort, who now claim ownership of the NDC, speaking through Kwasi Ahwoi, named Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang as the successor to the National Democratic Congress flagbearer John Mahama after 2024. John Mahama is tied to their apron strings.

The NPP and the NDC should be careful about quoting what I said or wrote in the past out of context to spuriously support allegations of corruption or mismanagement against each other for the purely propaganda purpose of deceiving the electorate for their votes and abandoning them thereafter. I hope that when eventually I determine by a considered examination and analysis of the facts and evidence the most corrupt of the two political parties, they will each accept my verdict without question since I have become their authority on this issue.

As Ghana gets closer to the 2024 election season the NPP and the NDC are deploying various deceptive tools to win over the electorate whom they will each forget after securing the votes of the electorate to come to power for the next three years until the next election year. The 2024 elections should be won by established facts and projections with high degrees of probability for actualization. Ghana must always come first!

Presentation accompanying Keynote Address at UDS on 8 Feb 2024, with theme of citizens’ actions, independence of state institutions and Election 2024.

The 2024 elections are not going to take place in a vacuum. They are going to be informed by thirty years of electoral history under the 1992 Constitution. The Fourth Republican Constitution, 1992 underscores, like the three preceding Republican Constitutions, the sovereignty of the people as the foundation of the State. The citizen has since the 1969 Constitution been accorded a sovereign right to seek interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of the Constitution in the Supreme Court with guarantees of fundamental human rights and freedoms subject only to the provisions of the Constitution.
