Stinking freedom we celebrate in Ghana

Montie trioMontie trio

It is with much pain and heartache am writing this article. Ghana, as a country is gradually heading towards unwanted and disgusting direction, which when not checked, we'll be crying the cry of fools, 'Had I Known ......'.

The recent release of the Montie trio clearly depicts the hypocritical attitude our stubborn leaders. It is so sad and unfortunate that the present day Ghana has been subject to so much ridicule and shame.

It is extremely and incredibly shameful and awful for a bunch of hopeless and ignorant infidels to be given their freedom after issuing threats of murder and rape not to any other person but the chief justice, Justice Theodorah Wood. Is this threats not similar to treason? Should we wait until the judges begin to get missing before we realise that those bunch of empty communicators were not joking?

Those footsoldiers and irresponsible ministers who signed for their release should bow their head in deep shame. Oye Lithur, who claims is women rights activist, was very quiet in all this brouhaha and even went ahead to sign as well. The Holy Bible clearly states that spare the rod and spoil the child, but these people because they hate Ghana and love their party mobilised themselves to petition the president for their release.

If the president cared so much about Ghana and the lives of our dear supreme court judges, he would have rubbished their petitions and would have allowed the Montie 3 to serve their full term of the sentence but what did we see, the president quickly and swiftly heed to their calls and now they are out.

Yes, they are OUT! The three who swore to commit murder to judges are walking freely. Aren't these 3 people more than boko haram?

Now that the Montie 3 are out, it clearly places the authority of the supreme court in the muds, and these shameless communicators can now talk without any measure of caution, because they know Article 72 is alive.

We have thousands of innocent lives in Nsawam because they are not in party colours, they've spent years and years in there and these nation wreckers are breathing fresh air.

I was wondering if the first lady, was issued with such threats of murder and rape, will the president has acted swiftly for their release?

Ghana has indeed become a stinking freedom country.
