I write with deep concern and strong conviction in response to recent statements made by the Minority Leader, Afenyo-Markin and former Greater Accra Regional Minister, Titus Glover, suggesting that politicians who have embezzled state resources should be spared prosecution through backroom negotiations, just as President Akufo-Addo allegedly allowed the double salary MPs to walk free after private discussions.

These propositions are not only dangerous but an outright insult to the hardworking and long-suffering people of this country. What you are advocating is nothing short of democratic armed robbery, a system where the powerful steal from the state, then hide behind political connections and secret meetings to avoid justice.

Let me be clear: if this government fails to prosecute those who have plundered public resources, our democracy becomes meaningless.

It reduces governance to a game for the privileged few, while the ordinary Ghanaian, whose taxes keep this country afloat, continues to struggle for basic necessities.

If it is true that backroom negotiations led to the double salary MPs being let off the hook, then it means the former President condoned corruption. And we must ask: did he do so knowing that he and his people would later engage in an even worse form of corruption? Are we prepared to allow this cycle of “I scratch your back, you scratch mine” thievery to continue while our people suffer in poverty and misery?

Justice must not be traded in the dark. Accountability must not be sacrificed to protect a corrupt elite. You owe the people of Ghana not just words, but action. The tears, sweat, and sacrifices of the Ghanaian people cannot be in vain while a few feed fat off the public purse in peace.

Ghanaians demand justice, not negotiations. We demand accountability, not excuses. We demand leadership, not complicity.

This is not just about law and politics. It is about conscience. And history will judge.

For Ghana!

Shalom shalom!
