...BECAUSE THEY HAVE DONE A GREAT DISSERVICE TO GHANA..STEALING MASSIVELY FROM THE COUNTRY'S COFFERS. THE VERY REASON THAT THEIR FOUNDER KILLED 6 HEADS OF STATES!!!!
REJOINDER: “Terror alert: BNI picks up 3 SA nationals over ‘suspicious conduct’”
The above-captioned article, sourced from myjoyonline dated 22nd March, 2016 makes for a very interesting and even funny piece that depicts, at best, a crass propaganda strategy by the ruling government and its apparatchiks. It recalls to mind when Mr. Kennedy Agyapong, MP for Assin Central, was arrested on the flimsy excuse that he had caused “fear and panic” with his misconstrued “tribalistic” statement that “threatened national security” under late President Atta Mills.
For this arrest, ex-President Kufuor appealed to late President Atta Mills to use his presidential powers to set Mr. Kennedy Agyapong free for the sake of peace, and described the action of the police as akin to “using a sledge hammer to kill a fly.” However, this statement by ex-President Kufuor did not go down well with the then Vice-President of Ghana, Mr. John Mahama. Within a few days, the then Vice-President is alleged to have responded that his party would not hesitate employing the use of “bulldozers to kill flies, if any fly tried to disturb the peace of this country.”
In the above-referenced article, the Bureau of National Investigation (BNI) is reported to have caused the arrest of three South African former police officers in the Central Region for allegedly engaging in acts that threaten the country’s security. The three, 54-year-old Major Ahmed Shaik Hazis (Rtd.), 39-year–old WO/ Denver Dwayhe Naidu (Rtd.) and 45-year-old Captain Mlungiseleli Jokani (Rtd.), were picked up on Sunday March 20, 2016 at El Capitano Hotel in Agona Dunkwa in the Central Region. According to the report, the three were engaged in training 15 young men in various military drills, including unarmed combat, weapon handling, VIP protection techniques, and rapid response maneuvers.
What is interesting is the alleged disclosure that the leader of the group, Hazis, disclosed to BNI officials that they were brought into the country by one Capt. Koda, head of security detail for NPP flagbearer, Nana Akufo-Addo, and that Hazis was part of Nana Akufo-Addo’s security detail during the 2012 elections but left the country soon after. A deputy director of communications of the NPP, Perry Okudzeto, set the record straight by noting that the South African nationals were training the security men strictly for “crowd control” and not for “military tactics,” and they “had license to operate” as such.
After all, what individual of right mind would want to train 15 Ghanaians to engage in what in Ghana? As home-trained terrorists, when we have already imported real terrorists into the country that is creating panic in the people, yet being made to pale into insignificance?
In the face of all these, a deputy General Secretary of the NDC, Mr. Koku Anyidoho, was quick to spin this story as NPP’s “desperation for power” and “importing mercenaries to destabilize the country,” seizing upon every concocted opportunity to draw the name of Nana Akufo-Addo into everything just because he is known to be of incorruptible character.
“Destabilize the country” for what? The NDC leadership has time and time again employed crass and “outdated revolutionary tactics” to divert the substances of issues. When they clearly have no message for the citizenry after having run the Ghanaian economy aground, and forcing people to live under harsh economic times, they resort to a track record of what they do best--blowing issues out of proportion, irrelevancy, and propaganda.
Surprisingly, the NDC leadership tends to assume that Ghanaians lack the ability to discern the truth. Who is interested in comprehensive report of the operations of Superlock Technologies Limited, a company mentioned in the arrest report that was engaged by Afari Gyan’s Electoral Commission (EC) that transmitted and collated results to the EC during the 2012 general elections? People are rather interested in far more important issues such as US$37 billion in revenue under the NDC government, of which only US$7 billion is accounted for in public projects in Ghana. It is on such issues that discerning Ghanaians are going to vote and take their destiny into their own hands.
And given what is happening in Nigeria now with the advent of the anti-corruption crusader, President Buhari, which has opened the way for Nigeria to receive US$200 billion of its looted money stashed away by Nigerian public officials in the United Arab Emirates (Dubai), the reason cannot be far-fetched as to why the Nigerian counterparts of corrupt Ghanaian public officials are agitating and panicking: they sense a similar fate awaiting them should the now awakened Ghanaian electorate vote the NDC out of power in the 2016 elections, a change that seems inevitable in Ghana.
It is change that will supplant greed in governance by a few with sharing in governance with all citizens. It is change that results in jobs and not jolts in the economy; change that results in making electricity power a constant norm, not a variable norm; change that results in classrooms under roofs and tiles, not under trees and dirt; change that results in streets paved with blocks and asphalt, not patched with potholes and mud; and change that results in waxing the honor in public service, not waning the honor in public service.
Fifty-nine good years of nationhood, and we really have nothing to show for it. Ghana was 8 years old when Singapore had its political independence in 1965. Today, the success story of Singapore is told to the chagrin of Ghana. At independence, Ghana was richer than Argentina, Brazil, Malaysia or Singapore. Today, these countries’ success stories are told to the chagrin of Ghana.
Isn’t it about time that we moved away from the infantile partisan politics to the promised land of matured politics of true nation building? Why do we continue to be poor amidst plentiful natural resources? Corruption is a prime suspect. We are neck deep in corruption, which bedevil our socio-economic progress, because of leadership deficit. We need leaders with vision and commitment to build the capacity of the African to solve Africa’s problems.
Instead, we have leadership today that is master at propaganda and lies; leadership that can twist the story of a hungry snake that snatches a fish from the pond for meals, into a “Good Samaritan” snake that saves a helpless fish from drowning. And that is what the NDC is good at.

I told you sooo ! The idiots with no sense of foreseeability underestimated the Ghanaian spirit of discernment when warned time and time again that there was need to compile new Voters Register because of its unacceptable contents. The EC failed to inderstand that half of the nation felt that way and that alone meant a lot to its credibility. It would be foolish to consider acquiescence instead of correction as a prudent measure as they were warned against rising temperaments and possible consequences. What the government made the people to feel was beefing up security against it instead of addressing the problem itself. That goes to show the shallow depth of thoughts over exercise of governance by a group of mindless administrators. It is no wonder they dont even understand that Kenyatta is not President of Ghana .

People of Ghana, this is what you get when you encourage 'nobodys' (koboloi) into politics. 90% of NDC Party members were very poor people who have no business of their own to run. Most of them resigned their jobs to enter 'lucrative politics'. Politics does not belong to such group of people. They would do everything they can to hold on to power, because they would not have any job to do after politics, and they would not be able to use wisely their illegally acquired wealth. People like these must never be allowed into politics again. We would continue to witness such 'kobolor' behavior until the NDC with its 'Koboloi' members are voted out.

That said,I think that event was waste of time and resources,nobody can guarantee peace on behalf of another person,you cannot be in Accra to say my political party has pledged to maintain peace in the election when you don't know what could lead to violence in a particular constituency,we need to stop wasting money on all these fruitless organizations such as the so called Peace Council and this group.

Pledging peace (i.e. pledging to use peaceful means to resolve issues), is the moral equivalent of "citizenship", unless you believe in the alternative.
Therefore, if you, Nana Nkurasefuo Hene I, do not believe in the "doctrine of peace", tell us, what exactly do you believe in?
By The Way: Seems to us, in that circumstance, the CPP "Youth Leader" ought to have made clear to the meeting whore opinion that was - his own personal opinion, or, that of the CPP.

THE EC-NDC ALLIANCE OF INTRANSIGENCE FOR A NEW VOTERS’ REGISTER IN GHANA: IS IT A PURPOSEFUL STRATEGY TO POSTPONE THE NOVEMBER 7, 2016 POLLS?
Ghana goes to the polls on November 7, 2016, some 8 months away. However, there has been a major misunderstanding regarding the voters register, which according to public opinion is bloated, mistake-laden, and existence of non-citizens. This threatens Ghana’s young democracy.
Several public figures and civic society organizations have joined calls for a new voters’ register ahead of the 2016 elections to ensure a clean, fair, and peaceful elections in Ghana. The pressure group, “Let My Vote Count Alliance” has led the charge in pushing for a new voters’ register, with some of its members having been maltreated and permanently suffering physical disabilities at the hands of the police during a demonstration to present a petition to the Electoral Commission (EC) to effect a new voters’ register.
Among the sympathizers to this cause are the former first lady and leader of the NDP, Mrs. Konadu Agyemang Rawlings, who admonished the authorities not to pretend that the voters’ register is not bloated. The major opposition party, NPP, argued its position for a new voters’ register after it submitted evidence that it had discovered over 76,000 Togolese nationals on the country’s voters’ register.
During an international visit to Washington in the USA, the leader of the NPP, Nana Akufo-Addo, recapped issues that surrounded the compilation of the 2012 biometric voter register. He noted that after the registration exercise was completed in 2012, the EC told Ghanaians that it had captured details of some “13 million Ghanaians, and would embark on the process of cleaning up the register. Strangely, after the ‘cleaning exercise’, the figure increased to some 14 million people.” With Ghana's median age being 20 years and 8 months, and with over two million of the population being foreigners, having over 55% of the population registered to vote represented ‘the highest in the whole of Africa and its young population,’ and that is quite unacceptable and strange.
Ex-President Rawlings also noted that although 2016 is going to be a challenging electoral process, the challenge can be minimized if various stakeholders ensured that there is the ‘creation of a credible voters’ register that will remove all doubts’ about the election outcome, and even encouraged the incumbent NDC government, the party he founded, not to entertain any fears but do what needs to be done about the proposals for a credible electoral register.
For his part, Ex-President Kufuor also noted that the EC should not plead excuses like cleaning the voters’ register because ‘faulty elections’ can be the recipe for ‘chaos for otherwise peaceful people,’ and implored the EC to heed to the calls for a ‘credible electoral register.’ The Leader of the PPP Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom also acknowledged that there is a problem of ‘bloated, mistake-laden, existence of non-citizens with the voters’ register,’ but that we should strive for a long-term continual cleaning solution through the National Identification Authority.
The position of the Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference, under its president, Most Rev. Bishop Joseph Osei-Bonsu, is that a credible register for the November 7, 2016 elections is ‘very critical’ for the 2016 elections, thus the need for all claims of anomalies should be investigated and addressed.
The General Secretary of the Christian Council of Ghana Reverend Dr. Kwabena Opuni-Frempong is on record as cautioning the EC not to take ‘Ghanaians perceived timidity’ for granted over the bloated register, a charge that quickly drew the ire of the EC chairperson, Mrs. Charlotte Osei who responded that the EC was not taking Ghanaians for granted, and that its basis for rejecting calls for a fresh register was rooted on ‘solid grounds.’
On what ‘solid grounds?’ The EC’s statement did not specify, and to date has not been specified. This leaves much room for conjecturing, as to what the EC-NDC perceived alliance intend to do with their continual intransigent position with regards to changing the bloated register.
With all these clamoring for a change of the bloated voters’ register, conspicuously opposed to it is the incumbent NDC government that enjoys the apparent active support of the EC. Could it be that the NDC government, under President John Mahama, privately admits that the voters’ register is, indeed, bloated and unsuitable for a fair and credible elections, but then by maintaining an intransigent position alongside the EC, it could use it as a ‘genuine’ pretext to postpone the elections just as Ex-President of Nigeria, Mr. Goodluck Jonathan, did during the run-up to the Nigerian elections?
Recall that in Nigeria, Mr. Jonathan’s government claimed that the demands of fighting the Boko Haram insurgents meant that the Nigerian military will be overstretched to provide adequate security for the elections.
Would it be that in the case of Ghana, President Mahama and the EC are going to claim that they have finally come to realize the need to compile a new voters’ register, but then it is now too late in September or October 2016, and there simply is not enough time to conduct the November 7, 2016 polls, and therefore, it warrants postponement? And to build up the pressure or rationalize the urgent need to compile this new register, will it be an overstatement that the NDC government may even engage the services of its own apparatchiks to stir up even more pressure to create a need for a new voters’ register? All because such delayed and last minute strategy of compiling a new register may afford the NDC government the benefits of delaying or postponing its impending loss of power? Only time will tell about this potential development.

NDC, PNC, CPP.... Why do I get the impression the Peace Council Chairman was trying to get get all these Nkrumahist offshoots to go along with an obvious defect with the electoral register and process, which Ernesto Yeboah of the CPP, an upright, principled and great Ghanaian rejected outright?
Why did the NDC want the CPP and PNC to go along with their criminal bloating of the register, when the right and proper thing every Ghanaian knows, is to clean that discredited piece of document to ensure, free, fair, credible, transparent and peaceful elections?
What did the NDC hope, with the help of the Peace Council Chairman, to achieve with that stunt?
Our elders say, when the face of the drum is there, we don't hit the side of it, literally translated.
The Peace Council Chairman and his members should rather lead in the advocacy to compel the Mahama NDC gov't to create the space and enabling environment for the EC to compile a credible electoral register to ensure peaceful elections and not these pledge and promise thingy when the process is rigged to favor John Mahama who has failed and Ghanaians insist he must leave office.

It is really nauseating when I hear noises of small boy jokers such as this one here saying words without making any sense at all. What are these boys taking Ghana for? A great country being reduced to a play ground for boys such as this one here as CPP what? Whom is he talking about, the EC or who? Has the EC place names on the Voters' Register or President Mahama? Was not Ghanaians who went out and registered? So who made the Register what? We shall see on that voting day those who would want to misbehave?

The level of hipicrict in the country is too much. Let's call a spade a spade and not a small spoon. The economy is itself not committed to peaceful election. Peaple will say the Cpp is not peaceful, but to me, it is the government who is craftily manipulating all institutions to its advantage. If all is transparent, then the ec will not be acting as it is doing and there wouldn't be any fear of any chaos. What brings about confusion and instability is even play field and that is what all peace loving institution should be doing,i.e. speak plainly against the biaseness of the ec and then there will be peace. After all nobody want to be cheated always.
