Kwame A Plus has hinted that dogs in some part of the world receive better healthcare than most Ghanaians, insisting that funds agreed by the government for the provision of bulletproof curtains for MPs in Parliament as well as the compilation of new voters roll by the EC must rather be channeled into improving healthcare for Ghanaians.
According to him, hell would have broken loose within the
quarters of the clergy and civil society organization if such a decision was
taken by the NDC government.
“I can imagine
what would have happened if parliament proposed to buy bulletproof curtains
under John Mahama. I can imagine what would have happened if NDC decided to
spend four hundred and forty-three million Ghana cedis (443.000.000.00) on a
new voters register in a country like Ghana where fortunate women give birth on
bare floors in dilapidated clinics while the unfortunate ones never receive
ante-natal [care] and give birth at home under inhumane conditions in an era
where animals have modern maternity facilities.
“Dogs receive better healthcare in some countries than
human beings in many parts of Ghana. It is a fact”, A Plus wrote on social
media.
He continued: “Every day, you hear them [government
officials] saying: ‘We don’t have money’, ‘John Mahama stole all the money’,
‘He borrowed so much to build infrastructure and we have to pay’. Yet, they had
over sixty million Ghana cedis, about twelve million dollars to spend on
presidential travels in 9 months and spent close to four million Ghana cedis on
refreshments aka chilling.
“You want bulletproof curtains whilst those who voted for
you do not have roads. You want bulletproof curtains whilst those who
campaigned for you to become MPs don’t have clinics. You want bulletproof
curtains whilst those who stood in the scorching sun to vote for you to become
MPs drink from the same pond with animals. You have approved a new register
whilst privileged schools do not have any organized syllabus and underprivileged
ones are under trees.
“If you are honest, if you are principled, if you are a
Christian or Muslim who believes in fairness as the Bible and Quran teach, you
must see what wrong yesterday as wrong today was. We don’t need a new register
and bulletproof curtains. Those are misplaced priorities. We need that money to
fix this country.
“They think they are smart. They brought both at the same
time to confuse us so that we won’t know which one to resist first. Our eyes
are wide open. Those of you sleeping must wake up now!”, he added.
