Mills Rewards 'Armed Robbers'.

My article on May 10th, 2010 under the title, "Mills, Pamparing and Rewarding
Criminals" attracted a hoarde of some NDC 'SICKOS and WACKOS, the most prominent and
vociferous with some weird theories being these guys, OLONKA and MATHS.

MATHS, despite telling him numerous times where I got the information for my article
insisted that, my proximity in Houston makes my article unbelievable since I am not
in Ghana and therefore my information cannot be right. I find such an argument very
childish, puerile sophomoric idiocy. Is this guy cocooned in a marshland somewhere
in the Amazon forest the technological advancement in the twenty first century just
escaped him? Enough about him anyway.

The argument the OLONKA guy put up if he wasn't serious would have elicited a
hilarious laughter from me but he is typical of most NDC sycophants though he said
he is not one. His argument was that, everybody in Ghana is a thief and since those
toll booth operators have had their fill, they should vacate their positions so that
the NDC supporters can also come and steal. Folks, this guy was not kidding, he was
as serious as a heart attack and that is how some Ghanains have lost their moral
compass. Now there is no what is good and bad have meshed due to the lawlessness
going on in our dear country.

Our country is heading towards anarchy because of the so called NDC foot soldiers
who have taken the laws of the country into their own hands and are
now disseminating their crude and primitive justice because there is a vacuum at the
Presidency where the President is not respected because he does not follow through
with his threats. He warned his foot soldiers to behave or face arrest but these
idiots called foot soldiers are still misbehaving.

BELOW IS THE ARTICLE THAT GAVE ME THE IMPETUS TO WRITE MY ARTICLE ON MAY 10TH,
2010. GHANA IS SINKING INTO THE ABYSS OF ANARCHY AND STAKEHOLDERS IN OUR COUNTRY
OUGHT TO SIT UP AND ADDRESS THIS LAWLESS SITUATION BEING PERPETRATED BY THE NDC
GOONS.BEAVER TEETH ABLAKWA OKUDZETO AND HIS NDC HAVE 'CREATED' 1.6 MILLION JOBS, LET
THEM EMPLOY THESE PEOPLE SO THAT GHANAIANS CAN HAVE A PEACE OF MIND.

Mills Rewards ‘Armed Robbers’

The youth of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) who run riot together with their
Chairman, Love Joy Dusi, in the Asuogyaman constituency of the Eastern region, and
chased away toll booth operators of the Ghana Highways Authority at the popular
Adomi Bridge at Atimpoku, have been rewarded and appointed as the official
care-takers of the booths.
They have been constituted into a taskforce and were commissioned on Sunday to
oversee the activities of collecting tolls. They were sworn into office by the
District Chief Executive with the help of the District Highway authorities, and to
collect the revenue on behalf of the assembly and the Highways authorities.
Instead of prosecuting the culprits for taking over an asset of the state illegally,
they have been rewarded after they were granted bail whilst the Divisional Police
Commander, ASP Issah Mohammed Cantona, has been called to Accra.

The constituency chairman who happens to be the chairman of the sub-committee on
Finance and Administration of the District Assembly had organized about 20 young men
to take over the booth a couple of weeks ago through brute force. He is however not
facing the law, making nonsense of the President’s directive that the police should
deal pitilessly with such lawless party members.

The irate youth and the Chairman who took over the booth claimed that the monies
being collected were going into private pockets and not helping the ‘Better Ghana’
course the President has embarked on.
They also noted that they were taking over the collection of tolls at the bridge to
avoid wastage in the system and ensure efficiency.

Yesterday, efforts by this newspaper to contact the DCE prove fruitless as he
refused to answer the eight (8) calls placed on his phone even though text messages
were dispatched earlier before the call.
When the sector Minister was called to comment, Hon. Joe Gidisu said ‘I am outside
the country and would be returning next week’.

It would be re-called that some angry NDC faithfuls chased away the toll operators
and after they were arrested, monies collected at the Juapong end of the bridge
which they took over at about 8.15 am could not be accounted for but they were able
to collect GH¢859 at the Atimpoku end of the bridge.
The money together with the fake tickets in the name of the Asuogyaman District
Assembly was seized by the police to be used as exhibits in court.
