There is a saying that \u201cyou\u2019ll never appreciate what you\u2019ve got until it\u2019s gone\u201d.<\/p>\n

The people of Ghana were liberated and given a breath of fresh air and true lease of freedom when the 19 years of social and economic servitude under the obnoxious P(NDC) regime was fittingly terminated in the year 2000 by the NPP.<\/p>\n

This was attested to in 2001 by Mike Gizo, a one-time NDC-MP for Shai-Osudoku and a Minister of Information. Indeed, Mike Gizo\u2019s wife corroborated those sentiments of her husband and it had to take their pastor, Archbishop Duncan-Williams, to step in and ask the couple to go easy with their public utterances on how liberated they felt.<\/p>\n

Now, in a desperate attempt to regain political power so they can have access to excessive trappings of political office to enable them to satisfy their insatiable lust for good things of life, the NDC put in place an elaborate scheme to deceive anybody they could lay hands on including even the angels in heaven!!!<\/p>\n

Promises that our nation has never known since the days of Adam, freely flowed from the lips of every NDC person.<\/p>\n

A sensitive case of the unfortunate death of Ya-Na, the overlord of Dagbon State, was turned into a senseless campaign football by the NDC. The people directly affected by that unfortunate event were told that Kufuor was shielding the perpetrators and that if voted into power, they would swiftly wave their magic wand in the air and immediately, anyone who had a hand in the act, even if they were dead, would be instantly resurrected to be brought before court, tried, jailed and the keys thrown into the Pacific Ocean so that Andanis could have justice.<\/p>\n

As a matter of fact, the NDC so very much politicized the death of Ya Na that NPP\u2019s very safe parliamentary seat as Yendi was lost to the NDC.<\/p>\n

Some of these NDC MPs in the Northern region actually won their seats as a result of their shameful politicization of and capitalisation on the unfortunate incident.<\/p>\n

An industry was actually built around the Ya Na issue in the studios of Radio Gold, and at a point, people began to believe that if the NDC was voted into power, the mystery surrounding the issue could be solved within a twinkle of an eye.<\/p>\n

A committee of eminent chiefs set up by the Kufuor administration to delve into the Ya Na issue to pursue the path of peace and pave way for the two gates to sit around the table, was completely bastardized by then power-drunk NDC.<\/p>\n

Members within their fold who claimed to have in their possession, \u2018a smoking gun\u2019, by way of visual recordings vividly depicting the whole incident, decided to keep those evidence tightly close to their \u2018revolutionary\u2019 and \u2018chemical-interrogation\u2019 chests because they did not have faith in the Wuaku Commission.<\/p>\n

The NDC ended up winning power and Atta Mills sworn-in as president. But nearly two-and-half years into their administration, the NDC, in spite of all the promises made to the good people of Dagbon, has failed to either constitute the presidential commission they promised or put into the public domain, those many smoking guns they said were in their possession.<\/p>\n

The hope of redeeming their rapidly-sinking image in the eyes of the Andani people was therefore banked on securing \u2018justice\u2019 in a competent court of jurisdiction by presenting useless propaganda materials before a judge.<\/p>\n

This scenario is what lawyer Atta Akyea loosely and very much aptly described as \u201cyou don\u2019t present such political materials in a court of law and expect to get a legal verdict\u201d.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the NDC, led by a law, professor and true son of the Fante-land, sadly lost sight of the very famous Fante adage that says: \u201casem a onnye dew no, wonnfa nnko ahenfie\u201d, to wit, \u201cone does not have to take a bad complaint to the chief\u2019s palace for arbitration\u201d.<\/p>\n

This is because you will always be the loser when you decide to rush to the chief\u2019s palace with a complaint when the said complaint has no legs to stand on.<\/p>\n

The case was therefore, fittingly, thrown out of the window. And to cover their monumental ignominy, treachery and incompetence, Atta Mills hurriedly organized a meeting with elders of Dagbon from the Andani Gate to lie prostrate before them with pleas to calm down their justifiably disappointed and angry youth.<\/p>\n

And here, I believe those Andani youth actually did the right thing by tearing down the lying edifices of the NDC, in their fit of fury, following acquittal and discharge of all those alleged accused persons rounded up in the middle of the night and hurriedly brought down to Accra to stand trial without any tangible charge first being preferred against them.<\/p>\n

Not long ago, the teachers of this nation, after being lied to by the Mills-Mahama administration on countless times over the issue of remuneration, decided to embark on a peaceful march to present a petition to the leadership of their umbrella body, GNAT.<\/p>\n

But the police, who are currently being showered with juicy salaries by the courtesy of the legendary single spine salary structure (SSSS), went all out and beat the hell out of these teachers.<\/p>\n

When that disgraceful act by the police took place, many voices of reason came out to condemn the brut force used against the harmless teachers. And as expected, the NDC, in their characteristic hypocritical manner, came out with all guns blazing in defense of the police.<\/p>\n

They said by criticizing the police, we were engaging in acts that had the potential of undermining them and this would breed low morale within the service.<\/p>\n

They said as a nation, we risk jeopardizing the sanctity of our state institutions and impeding their preparedness to carry on with their statutory duties if we continue to criticize every step they take.<\/p>\n

In the light of this, all sensible Ghanaians had their fingers firmly and patiently crossed to see how the NDC was going to hail the judgment from the law courts in the Ya Na case, irrespective of whose favour it went since we had been tutored by them to be respectful of decisions of our state institutions and not criticize them unnecessarily.<\/p>\n

But when the judgment finally came, it was rather our law professor president who led the onslaught against the judiciary.<\/p>\n

He said he was going to \u201cmake sure there is justice\u201d for the Andanis. But what the president seems to forget is the fact that justice actually prevailed in this particular instance when those alleged culprits were set free.<\/p>\n

Unless of course, the old professor is saying justice prevails only when useless propaganda charges are upheld in a court of law.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the murder of Ya Na and that of any Ghanaian is a blot on the conscience of our nation and it is the hope of every peace-loving Ghanaian that perpetrators of such heinous crimes are found and brought to book, irrespective of how long it takes.<\/p>\n

It is imperative, therefore, to handle all decisions by the law-courts in such cases with the greatest deal of circumspection.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, how can anyone begrudge an individual for being elated when he\/she has been declared \u201cnot guilty\u201d, and as a result, \u201cacquitted and discharged\u201d by a court of competent jurisdiction after being accused of such a heinous crime and incarcerated for a period of one year?<\/p>\n

The political tradition of the NDC is firmly rooted in perfectionism in art of deception; lies and plain-faced \u2018akakabinsem\u2019 (skullduggery).<\/p>\n

They are group of people who are indecently irresponsible and unashamedly dishonest.<\/p>\n

The leadership of the party has developed amazing skill in capitalizing on credulity of their followers to advance their personal folly, and even in a clear case of a losing battle, they continue to promise their \u2018own type of justice\u2019 for people they have so very much deceived into voting for them.<\/p>\n

The NDC, led by then candidate Atta Mills, shamefully DECEIVED some good people of Dagbon, USED them for the activities of foot-soldierism during the 2008 elections, FOOLED them when it came to exposing those Ya Na killers they (NDC) claimed to know and wickedly DUMPED them when it came to sharing the spoils of power.<\/p>\n

By these acts, where then lies the basis for the incessant posture of piety by the self-acclaimed \u2018asomdwee hene\u2019? As a matter of fact, \u201cNe nyinaa ye ndaadaa nkostee\u201d!!!! (It\u2019s all a grand deception).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
