Kwesi Pratt on Good Morning Ghana has expressed his eyesore on what people describe as democracy in the USA, an incident that happened at Sissala West and describes it as a banana republic.<\/p>\n
Here are his words:<\/p>\n
Slashing people with a cutlass at polling station elections doesn’t speak with democratic credentials. It speaks of unacceptable violence, deformity in our political process, and anarchy.<\/p>\n
As for issues with the USA being the best example of democracy and others, I won’t go there.<\/p>\n
A country that has built a reputation for discrimination against a race cannot be an example of democracy for me.<\/p>\n
Just the pure racism in the USA’s politics is a huge problem. A situation in which armed thugs raid a party’s headquarters and smash the car of the sitting General Secretary is not democratic credentials.<\/p>\n
These trends are not restricted to one party and they keep spreading; it leaves me worried. We are slipping into the era of the Tonton Macoute.<\/p>\n
There’s one video I saw about Sissala West, this didn’t even happen in the Papa Doc. These are grave aberrations and we need to accept them as they are, and match the banana republic.<\/p>\n
If during a polling station election, people video themselves slashing each other with cutlasses; what is that?<\/p>\n
