Greetings friends - I am glad to rejoin you to share ideas and discuss matters of interest to our nation. Bro. Okukuseku (what a bad name!!! J) thanks for your kind re-intro…
I thought it was respectful to let you know where I was going and what I was going to do. I am glad to have served my country in a very small way by supporting my friend, Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom, and party, Progressive People’s Party, (PPP), with my very little efforts. I however commend the people on the ground who did all the work.
I look forward to numerous healthy discussions with you, that are geared toward keeping Ghana on a highway to ‘wellness’ and finding ways to make things better for our dear Ghana. I wish to clearly state that I am not here to make statements on behalf of PPP in any way, shape, or form. As many of you know, I was here (in this forum) before PPP was born. It was clear to all then that Dr. Nduom was my friend and I would sport him, if he asked me to, yet that did not impair our ability to participate in healthy discussions here. I am a free man but a loyal team player. I joined Nduom’s group because I believed in their mission, and I stand by all decisions that I make. In the process, I learn from those decisions rely on them to help me be a better man. Brothers and Sister’s I AM BACK!!!
I went back and read a couple of postings and thought I’d offer my view on some hot topics such as the Electoral Commission (EC) / Supreme Court (SC) issue, MPs Boycott of the vetting process, and the banning of Haruna Mahama from this forum, to see if I can learn more from you: 1. First, I wish to commend the NPP Party for taking on the EC in COURT for an election that could clearly have used a more careful supervision. You have my support on your approach. Ghana has a constitutional process to address such issues and your path demonstrates discipline. Keep it all the way up!
I think It is best if NPP enjoys the backing of all its members and even all who believe in a peaceful democracy. There is a dispute, and you have gone to court to resolve it! Period! Nothing wrong with that at all! It is indeed the only way to go. Let me be clear. I am not saying that NPP will win or lose. I am saying that the process you have chosen to handle this dispute is admirable. The judges, after hearing all the evidence, will decide and we will all be honored.
Also, the NPP flag bearer, Honorable Nana, was nominated by NPP via a credible process, right? If so then one does not have to like him… BUT you must ALL support the NPP legal process throughout and TILL THE END. A party is not owned by any flag bearer. The party is in court. I think all who seek to serve the interest of our nation via the party’s platform must support the party in this proceeding. Not wise to be divided!
A question for those who do not support the party in the EC case SOLELY because they do not like Nana. >>> Do you expect to enjoy the support of those from Nana’s camp when a future flag bearer/candidate is one you favor? Guess what? You may NOT! What will that do to your party? Mess it all up, right? – How then does a part stand tall when it is divided during an external fight? Isn’t keeping your fights internal and presenting a unified front externally the way to go? Think about it!
2. I still need to learn more as to why the NPP MPs in parliament should boycott the vetting process. I have read all the arguments available to me and still do not understand why that is necessary. These are questions that keep coming to mind: a. Will boycotting that constitutional process influence or an attempt to influence the outcome of the court hearing in favor of NPP? I hope this is not NPP’s position because if it is, then NPP may inadvertently be suggesting that it is OK to use any tactic that would influence the outcome of the court’s decision, even if it means violating a constitutional process – if so then what stops the opponent from using their own evasive tactics?
I therefore suggest that the MPs stay to fulfill their oath of office and let the process move forward. It is a very important process and I do not see any legal ground to violet it. That is certainly not the process, stated in our constitution, for addressing such issues. Unless there is God himself amongst the group who knows the outcome, then what if NDC/EC wins the court case? Wouldn’t NPP MPs then have wrongly failed Ghanaians?
b. If the court rules in favor of NPP, will the current government step down? (they will !!! and there is a process to ensure that – so why boycott a constitutional process that we are all fighting to defend via the same constitutional provision. Does NPP choose and pick what parts of the constitution to adhere and which park to violet?
I have read the arguments and the various convincing scenario’s that have been offered but I will be grateful is someone can answer my question above on legal grounds ONLY. Is it not that basic principle that NPP is in court to defend to which many none NPP individuals such as myself encourage? - Until I learn otherwise many of us will be very disappointed if the NPP MP’s boycott the vetting process. 3. The call for any party to start preparing for 2016, regardless of who is making that call, or whether or not there are other ongoing activities, is not a bad idea at all, or is it? What is wrong with it? Will there not be an election in 2016 whether or not NPP wins the EC legal case? Can’t a party, full of resources and talents, not handle multiple activities of this nature at the same time? How does it benefit or hurt the legal process if there are other party members who are available to start strategizing for the 2016 elections? Why should any party wait when others are strategizing? Should all of NPP be consumed by this one legal process?
Granted, some like Nana, others like Allan and Kuffour etc etc….. of what relevance does that have to do with proceeding with strategies that will surely benefit a time ahead that will surely come, ill respective of the preferences of those who are calling for 2016 planning? Do you say no to such a wise advice just because the origin does not support Nana? Can’t both processes parallel in the interest of a party? Where is the central committee? Take away emotions and one may see what I see.
4. Banning Haruna Mahama from this forum: I think you have made this guy a star by the amount of energy spent on his case in this forum. I humbly wish to say however, that I still do not know what specific rule of this forum he has violated. I will share why in my next posting.
