A FUTURE OF THE PAST?



One thing that surprises me and has been of bother and great concern to me, is the strength some youth in 'politics' use in defending the glaring 'rape' of our country's resources by elements in successive governments. Under the guise of being 'loyal' to the cause of their political parties, these bunch seek to justify the most unacceptable acts of 'unpatriotism' perpetrated by some leaders at different levels of society.

I always wonder, if these are the same bunch hoping to be at the helm of affairs soon? If so, then the future is more bleak than the present because the perpetration of the cankers will continue unabated. Maybe, we may have to name and shame such youth who engage in such acts of recklessness and self-gratification. Are you myopic not to know that the ills you are supporting today will hurt your regime in which you hope to 'lead' someday?

It is for us as well-meaning youth to preserve and ensure a future that will help in realising the Ghana we envisage. This is because the future is 'our time' and the future is now.

Let's condemn what is wrong and right the wrongs through every possible legal means. That way, the right will be the mundane and the wrong will be eschewed. Yes, we can still belong to political parties and secure a future that can serve generations.

ARISE GHANA YOUTH FOR YOUR COUNTRY  (not your party).

GHANA POLICE SERVICE BECOMING A SOCIAL NUISANCE?

File Photo

Police are beating civilians, civilians are beating Police..... In the end, civilian-suspects are arraigned before a court of law asap whereas the police-suspect is still being investigated.

It's sad that 'twisted' narration of a police officer is always supra to the civilian's. The police kinda operates like a 'gang' now with senior officers always justifying the 'crude' actions of their subordinates. It is a cliche that police officers mostly twist facts to make themselves look better.

I have a good number of 'correct' police friends but most of the strangers are 'wannabe' social nuisance. Don't mention reporting of offending officers because to me those are just but a mirage. If the UNIFORM IS SO POWERFUL, it must be remembered and recognized that the power belongs and is given to citizens and not just for show of arbitrary powers. Without that power, the over-hyped uniform is just but an OVERSIZED SEWN OVERALL.

In as much as we don't encourage violence, maybe it's about time the Ghana Police sit up and re-align their men. I always say Ghana has a POLICE SERVICE not a Police Force. Service is a goddamn virtue people.

At a better time we will talk more about these service-oriented officers turned 'SOCIAL MONSTERS'.

My prayers are with the driver and mate. My heart also goes out to the nursing mother and her colleagues brutalized by 10 police men in the same week, yet no arrests made and investigations are ongoing. May the justice of Yah prevail. Yah guide!
