Columnist: Hardi, Ibrahim;;;
When, did the likes of Asiedu Nketia and his connoisseurs in government realize the need to accord Mr Rawlings the respect he deserves as the founder of the NDC party? Why have the regional ministers and even the chiefs in the Volta region suddenly seen the need to intervene and reconcile the NDC, when they were better positioned to have done that in the past or even prevent the conundrum from exacerbating this far? “Lead us not to temptation” is always a wiser prayer in politics than “deliver us from evil”. Professor Atta Mills and the NDC leadership had spurned numerous chances and time offered them to restore peace and harmony in the NDC. The acts and omissions of some party leaders and government officials clearly pointed to a well-orchestrated political agenda to intimidate, humiliate and vilify the former first couple and as well impugn their credibility and relevance in the NDC. They demonized the iconic figure in the party whose individual efforts and instrumentality won President Mills and his “saints” the power that has now clouded their consciousness like a drug and has caused them to rubbish the cardinal principles of conviction, probity and accountability. President Mills and his “boot lickers” obviously misconstrued the insistence of Mr. Rawlings on the need to respect these values on whose back the NDC rode to power.to mean the latter courted sympathy and garnered support for the presidential ambitions of his wife Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings...

THE PROCRESS PARTY WON THE ELECTION IN DUBIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES AGAINST GBEDEMAH'S NAL. BUSIA SHOWED HIS CONTEMPT FOR THE CONSTITUTION BY DECLARING AFTER THE VERDICT IN THE SALLAH CASE THAT NO COURT COULD FORCE HIS GOVERNMENT TO REVERSE ITS DECISION TO SACK OVER 500 CIVIL AND PUBLIC SERVANTS WHO HAD BEEN SACKED BY BUSIA'S GOVERNMENT BECAUSE THESE PUBLIC OFFICIALS WERE PERCIEVED TO BE SYMPATHETIC TO THE THEN PROSCRIBED CPP.

Look at this fool. Let me tell u what we didnt have in 1981 before Rawlings came in;
1) In 1981, there was imminent famine, scarcity of food.
2) In 1981, u couldnt import anything into the country without license from a politician in power.
3)In 1981, mosty kids went to school in patched shorts, shirts, chalewote, barefoot.
4)In 1981, majority of Ghanaians ate rice and chicken once a year bcos of scarcity and poverty.
5) In 1981, we had no University of Development Studies, Univ. coll. of education Winneba, no cape vars, no polytechnic, no private university in Ghana.
6)In 1981, our inflatuion rate was over 100%
7) In 1981, no American president would have ebn thought of visiting Ghana.
8) In 1981, we had no district assemblies, etc. Everything was done straight from the central government in Accra.
9)In 1981, we had no GNPC, VAT, GETFund, etc.
10) In 1981, moslems had no holiday. The religion wasnt even recognized as fit to be offered one.
11) In 1981, there was notthing like foreign exchange, forex bureau, mechanised fuel pumping, mobile telecommunication system, electronic card systems, etc.
12) In 1981, Accra to Kumasi road was a bush road, where u could find car tire marks running through the bush to Kumasi.
13) In 1981, we had people like Effa Dateh, Williams Ofori Attah, and many others incalcerated by Achemapongs Government.
14) In 1981, we had no ssnit flats, lashibi flats, Adenta flats, Redco flats, sakumono flats, etc which housed 1000's of Ghanaians.
15) In 1981, most farmers were cutting down their cocoa trees because of its inprofitability.
15) In 1981, charismatic churches were not allowed to operate.
16) In 1981, 1 million Ghanaian professionals were doing menial jobs in Nigeria (green pastures) including notable people like Osafo Maafo & co.
17) In 1981, only about 25% of the entire nation was connected to electricity.
18) In 1981, the northern part of Ghana, from Bono Ahafo up had not seen light before.
19) Before 1981, u dare not publicly insult any politician in power. But under Rawlings, u had Kweku Baako,Akuffo-Addo, Pratt, etc. insult him everyday with no problems. Kuffour even called him "sasabonsam" whilts he was still president.
19) Before 1981, Ghana had recorded NEGATIVE growth rates (world bank) for over 15yrs.
All these things changed by the year 2000 when Rawlings left. And there are millions more to mention. If after all this, someone will have the effontery to tell u Rawlings ruled for 20yrs and did nothing, I think we should throw such a senseless human being into the gulf of Guinea.

You have obviously never read the Sallah Case.
EK Sallah, upon dismissal by the Busia Administration sued for a declaration that it was not possible for him to be sacked on account of the 1969 constitution preserving his position as MD of the erstwhile GNTC
The case went to court and the decision was that Busia had wrongfully sacked Sallah. Thus Sallah should be paid his benefits for wrongful dismissal.
EK Sallah, for oyur information, never asked for his job back and the courts never gave him something he did not ask for
Mr Kofi Badu of the Spokesman Newspaper put a spin on the decision and stated Sallah had won his case and so Busia had to re-employ him
Busia came on TV and made it clear that No Court could tell him whom to employ and in this case the Court had not done so
Thus Sallah got his money but Ghana got confusion and Kofi Busia, dead for 40 years, continues to be accused of an offence that never even existed
I hope this helps

The overwhelming evidence for a nation to be prosperous is to cut government spending on unnecessary government posts. Apart from this freeing up money for projects like roads it is well settled that the civil service in articular can really frustrate business. All of us have suffered go come at the ministries. A French investor in Ghana says it too 4 years to gain approval for his project as he was bounced from department to department
Kofi Busia also believed that for a nation to prosper, its citizens must keep most of the money they earn and thus cutbacks in spending were vital. The 568 persons sacked were the start of a slash in irrelevant government spending as he sought to prune the bureaucracy and to also make it easier for people to do business
In 1979 Margaret Thatcher embraced the same idea and used this for her successful Thttcherite revolution
In 1983 Jerry Rawlings continued from where Busia left off and he too sought to free up the market by eliminating those who do nothing but frustrate the ability to register companies, get passports, etc
I hope this helps

You've tried but that wasn't enough as you did well to put Busia on the same level as JJ.
Each individual has different account and event. I quite remember Busia went ahead to cancel Training Colleges allowance which Nkrumah set up to encourage more people to train as Teachers.
Although Busia did not have enough time to govern and to be well assessed , in his short regime I can mention most of his tribes men and cronies who took over Government Businesses to be their private property and they have owned them till now. All the Capital investment some of which were under Nkrumah but were stolen by cronies of Busia to enrich themselves.

Do not justify the wrong done to a group of people by your crabbie reasoning. Those 586 sacked had families who relied on them. Some of these people were the most experienced at their jobs. Down sizing a company or an institution should not be done at the expense of others. Has it crossed your mind that the group of Civil Servants he laid redundant were from the same ethnic origins?

I am not justifying anything. All I said in my first posting was that the Courts never ordered Sallah to be reinstated
Second downsizing is a sad fact of life. However with your redundancy and skills you can do so much for yourself. Maggie Thatcher down-sized the public sector in the UK and the country experienced prosperity. Busia introduced the Business Promotion Act and the small loans scheme thus creating opportunities for all who were out of work to benefit. IK Acheampong came along and shut it down. Ghanaians were happy with this and later when unemployment was at 70% in 1976 they did not know what to do

But you consider the selective entrenchment of well groomed government officials not the end of the world? You have the guts to wave off a descriminatory action as if it was just a child's play?

THE EDUCATED PEOPLE WHO HAIL FROM THE NORTHERN GHANA WHO ARE EXPECTED TO FACILITATE DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA AREA THE SAME PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT MAKING THE AREA DEVELOP. REASONS:
1.Most of them refuse posting to the area to work.
2. Most of them want to own houses in Kumasi and Accra (Southern Ghana) instead of...
3. They want to enjoy their hard earned monies with Southern girls even behind their marriages.
4. They become proud and arrogant as soon as they experience little riches.
5. Most of them who accept to work in the north are crooks and thieves who steal monies that are meant for development in the area. THey steal from both government and NGOs - Ironically most of them will not even invest the stolen monies in the north BUT prefer to bring the money down south to spend.
6. In the mist of ALL the above, they confuse the illiterate folks - that problems in the north should be blamed on innocent Southerners.
7. Dr. Nkrumah in his wisdom implemented free secondary education in the north using proceeds from cocoa, gold and other natural resources mostly from the south. Osagyefo did this with the aim that these privileged ones will pay the nation back by at least accepting to contribute to rapid development of the north BUT unfortunately these educated ones have become more Southerners than the Southerners themselves.
8.I think a Northerner becoming president of Ghana 'per-say' is not what will make the place develop - I think the privileged individuals MUST ACCEPT the challenge of contributing by way of accepting posting to the place and invest in housing and job creation. Most of us northern guys are in very good positions even most have been in government since Independence.
9. What happened to SADA? We did not even see northerners in political and other responsible positions showing any commitment - They rather decided to 'blow' or 'chop' the monies in gargantuan proportions.
10. Most of us northerners have been voting for NDC over the years because of Rawlings' initiative of extending grid electricity to the north BUT beyond that I think the NPP has also shown more commitment in other areas of infrastructural development in the north mostly through the MCA. Earlier Acheampong, through his agricultural policies had facilitated the construction of the Tolon irrigation which is being under utilized as at now.
11. We can ALL help to make the northern Ghana an enviable place to stay - the place has a vast land that can be developed to become food basket of the nation.
12. MAKING YOURSELF RICH WITHIN A SHORT TIME THROUGH POLITICS IS NOT WAY FORWARD. WE REALLY NEED A SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION TO ADDRESSING THE NORTHERN CHALLENGE - NPP, NDC, CPP, PPP, PNC, NDP, ETC. CAN EQUALLY DO IT - SO I THINK ALL THE TRIBAL SENTIMENTS AND INSULTS MUST STOP.
- GREEDY POLITICIANS ARE JUST KNOCKING OUR HEADS TOGETHER BY DOING TRIBAL POLITICS - UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE JUST DOING THIS FOR SELFISH GAINS.
**** DO NOT BE DECEIVED! THERE IS NOTHING LIKE AKANS PARTY OR NORTHERS PARTY IN GHANA - GREEDY POLITICIANS ARE ONLY DOING THIS FOR THEIR SELFISH GAINS - SHAME UNTO ALL THOSE.

Answer to your question is simple:
First, the UGCC was never shut down by the colonial authorities. It even had no problems with the CPP being formed
No judges were sacked; there were 19 privately owned news papers each attacking the colonial goernment and none of them were ever shut down (it was Nkrumah who started this practice in our country) etc etc
The colonial government expanded democracy by increasing the elected African members of the Legislative Council. Nkrumah narrowed democracy by taking away the vote from us
By 1952 Africans (Nkrumah) were running the executive arm of government, had the legislature under their control and the judges were not being sacked for their decisions. There were no political prisoners in jail without charge etc
Thus, gradually, the British government loosened its hold on us while Nkrumah, gradually, turned Ghana into his private propoerty
I hope this helps

This not the way to honour Dr. Busia, brought to power by the anti-Nkrumah coup makers. The darkest day in Ghana was to unleash on us the phenomenon of coup d'etats in the 1966 coup. If the Acheampong coup was wrong you have the impudence to glorify another coup because your party benefitted! Come on , Ghana has moved on!. Of course ANY ONE TALKING THE COUP LANGUAGE MUST BE CAUTIONED BUT IS THAT THE HIGH POINT OF THE ANNIVERSARY! Is THE PERSON IN THE ARMY OR AN INFLUENTIAL POLITICIAN OR FIGURE TO CAPTURE YOUR FOCUS ON SUCH AN IMPORTANT DAY!!Ghana today is the cumulative contributions( positve and negative) of all the regimes. Were you listening when the people's President was speaking? Pay attention to the modern and professional security agencies in the country! Why do you choose the path of irrelevance?

Just as I consider the commemoration of the 41st anniversary of the overthrow of Dr Busia a distraction, I condemn unreservedly anyone on either side of the political aisle - NDC or NPP who threatens violence of any kind including inciting or encouraging coup d'Etat "if their side does not win the court case".
All proponents and defendants of our hard won democracy MUST CONDEMN such irresponsible people. Ghana's constitution makes such acts of military intervention ILLEGAL and any such attemp will not succeed. However we cannot be complacent.
I also condemn all the name calling, cheap insults and childish ranting and utterances that we hear and read from both ordinary citizens and sadly, party functionaries and leaders as well. What we need is peace, harmony and national unity and civil dialogue. If we want to see the result and impact of partisan politics, LOOK NO FURTHER THAN THE UNITED STATES where the country is deadlocked because parties refuse to cooperate.
The good news is that even in the US, today, a new group called "NO LABEL POLITICS" has emerged in the US Senate and Congress made up of people from all political parties to work together for progress in America.
Well, that is the lesson for us. Ghana is in a far better position than that because we relate and work more closely with each other and EXPECT OUR POLITICIANS TO also forge PARTNERSHIPS in parliament and in the general society. Let's all heed the president's call for unity as one nation.

Why did you wait for this long before condemning Kakra Essamuah's idiotic statement that was made even before the petition had been sent to the Supreme Court.
Kakra Essamuah and his NDC are merely bluffing. The Supreme Court will NOT be scared by these stupid threats. If NPP convinces the Supreme Court that there were huge errors in the results, done deliberately or as a result of genuine mistakes that normal human beings can and do make.

2)First thing he did as Prime Minister was to purge the civil service of all non-PP afilliates,ie the Ewes from government ( Apolo 568). No reasons for the dismissal nor compensations paid these individuals.
3)Beginning of ethnic strife in Ghana. But for the fact that Ghanaians are peace loving people, the country could have devolved into ethnic paradigm.
Busia undid Pan Africa unity by his Aliens Compliance Order. Many thousands of Ghanaians especially of Nigerian parentage were depoted. Call that act of humanity for the deaths and sufferings they endured. Real Legacy INDEED.
4) When Ghanaians were depoted from Nigeria, we blamed the Nigerian Government. But how can we forget the LEGACY of the depotation order instituted by Prime Minister Busia. Many Ghanaians lost their lives been depoted from Nigeria. That is another legacy of the Busia policies.
So spare us the trouble of reliving Busia's LEGACIES.

KEEP YOUR WISDOM AND GRANDIOSE PROJECTS AND DOMTHOSE THINGS FOR KUMASI AND KIBI, NOT OSAGYEFO'S DR KWAME NKRUMAH'S GHANA.

If the so-called Busia Foundation has described the coup by Gen. Akyeampong, which ousted Dr. Busiah from power in 1972 as "the darkest day in the country's history", then, the coup which Dr. Busiah masterminded and executed by his cohorts to dethrone Dr. Nkrumah from power marked the extreme darkness in the annals, not only of Ghana but Africa as a whole, and must be regarded as an affront to the black race, to all intents and purposes. The downward spiral of Ghana began from it. It will only stop when Ghana people, retrospectively, denounce that coup and repent.

On 13/01/1972 political prisoners like S.S. Baffour Awuah, Lt. Owusu-Dzimah, Lt. Osei Poku, Kojo Addison and some members of the CPP were still political prisoners in Ghanaian prisons when Col. Ignatius Acheampong make the coup.
It is also a fact that Busia was not a democrat as peddled here because during his time communist and socialist parties were banned in Ghana as it is now in the U.S.
Prof. Kofi Abrefa Busia and John Agyekum Kufuor were the most tribal executives Ghana ever had because Busia dismissed 516 Ewhes from the civil service and Kufuor followed suit in 2001 by repeating the same.
If democracy is seen as a socioeconomic system in which there is freedom and justice, then the socioeconomic situation under which the majority of Negros in South Africa are still slaves to the whites during the apartheid regime is described her as the best democracy on the continent of Africa.
Does democracy means that one race should owe the means of production and distribution in a country leaving the majority race with nothing. We are all aware that in the case of Iraq the U.S. intervention was to give economic power to the Shiids which she claim were discriminated socioeconomically during the Sunni led Saddam Hussein regime.
Resent developments in the Ivory Coast which NPP supported and UP's terrorist acts against Nkrumah, the CPP and the children of Ghana in the 60s goes to lay bare the facts that Busia Foundation's love for dialogue is just a ruse to let some Ghanaians who do not know the facts astray.
