Mahama is richer than Ghana? Respond to the Panama Papers - Part IV

By Fadi Dabbousi

I found it profoundly intriguing that someone wrote a comment to Part III saying that the "Dubai Papers" were going to be released soon. I am certain that the term "Dubai Papers" was used to highlight the massive investments that were made in that part of the world, and the money laundering activities that certain elements in John Mahama's administration are said to have superintended over. At least it is already an established revelation, as is evident in the public domain, that the President and his cronies have a vested interest in some suspicious fiscal activities in Dubai, Doha, and elsewhere in the distant Orients.

Listening to Newsfile hosted by Lawyer Samson Anyenini on Saturday, 23rd April 2016, Richard Pelpuo came across as an empty dunderhead not even useful to sweep the forecourt of the Flag Staff House. His attitude was a reflection of the unethical manner of governance that similar reprobates in their various capacities have adopted. The problem is that John Mahama has lost control over his government. When his representatives spew rubbish with total impunity in sheer mockery of the people they were instated to help, then what other inferences can be read from such failure?
After listening to this last bit by Rasid Pelpuo, I turned off my television set and bemoaned mother Ghana.

Samson Anyenini: "Honourable Pelpuo, what are some of the opportunities your government has created?"

Rashid Pelpuo: "Let's take for example, if you go to Accra and cut grasses and put it by the roadside, you can get people to buy it to feed their cattle. Or you break stones and gather it. You do this for a month or two, you are going to get lots of stones to sell."

My GOD! With this horrible English, he managed to blow to smithereens the dignity of governance in a few seconds. In other words, cutting grass and chipping boulders are the opportunities that the government of John Mahama has been able to create. Frankly speaking, I found that not only foolish, but an abuse of the Ghanaian's senses, faculties, morals, and dignity. Shame on you Rashid Pelpuo; woabb)n pa pa!!!
I have often said that due to the unchallengeable incompetence of President John Mahama, the infinite instances of corruption of those about him have gone overboard. Therefore, the discovery of Mr. President's name in the Panama Papers as broken by "The Ghana Must Know Forum" was not surprising, albeit the quantum of money involved was. Then again, it made mathematical sense. That amount, coupled with the unrestrained theft of other amounts by government appointees over an eight year period, in daring broad daylight robbery with much impunity and carelessness, seems to be almost commensurate with the debt stock of the country.

So in spite of the billions stolen from the nation's coffers, President John Mahama is on tour at the expense of the tax payer, campaigning with a sham "accounting to the people" agenda. Well, he claimed that he was not campaigning but rather accounting to the people. You see, that is another lie that he has successfully etched in his list of endless untruths told the nation. The fact that he is telling the electorate to vote for him in 2016 and give him another four years in office is in itself a campaign statement. If he is on a true accounting to the people tour, he would shy away from such statements of electoral appeal.

Mr President's sole interest is winning elections, but not working to change lives for the better. Well, if you think that cutting "grasses" and "breaking stones" for a period of two months requires vocational skill, and that would sustain the dignity of the Ghanaian family, then clap for him. Clap, clap, clapclapclap clap...!!!

And the useless sycophants around Mr President applaud him! O GHANA!!!
Still the Tsunami of the Panama Papers rages on...
