Will the Black Star Shine? The World is watching!

The day we have all been waiting for has finally arrived. Now that it appears the NPP has gathered enough credible evidence and has commenced court proceedings, the sixty million dollar question we should be asking is, what impact will the outcome have on Ghanaian society? And will the judges be fair in their determination? Will the outcome lead to a civil war? It has been said that this action by the NPP will deepen and strengthen Ghana’s quest for democracy, now that it is here, let us hope it will do just that and not the opposite.


As we all know, there is tribalism and corruption everywhere in Ghana including the court system; corruption has become the order of the day in Ghanaian society. It is no wonder the outcome of the election is being contested. However, it is my hope that the Supreme Court Judges will rise to the occasion and do their job without fear or favor.


As stated in my previous article, this case should concern every Ghanaian who is interested in peace, fairness, justice, equality, rule of law and all the components of democracy. Ghana’s integrity and reputation is at stake here. Therefore, it is important that the proceedings are transparent, and the judges carefully examine all the evidence before them in accordance with the law without prejudice and render fair and just verdict. It is equally important for both the NPP and NDC leadership to prepare their supporters to accept the outcome of the case when it is announced. Certainly, we don’t want any further lawlessness and acts of violence on our streets.


Given our inability to cope with defect, I am certain that there will be an element of acts of violence after the verdict is announced. Therefore, the law enforcement agencies should have a plan in place to deal with any acts of violence which should not be tolerated.


In the event that the court determines that there has been vote rigging, we should all join the NPP in demanding justice, to do otherwise would be unfair, unjust and morally wrong and dis-service to Ghana. Under no circumstances whatsoever should we neither accept nor tolerate corruption in any form or shape. The good book says that when good men/women keep quiet, evil prevails. It is our collective responsibility to challenge injustice and corruption. If Ghana is to become a fully-fledged democratic society where free and fair elections are held, there should be no place for corruption and tribalism. Will the black star shine? I guess we just have to wait and see.
