Frenzied Pursuit Of Kufour Dollar

FOR THE past two weeks, I have persistently railed at some personalities in very prickly jargons out of annoyance. I still insist that my advocacy is simply the amendment of vice by correction.

As an honest writer, I am no more an enemy to those who come under my chastisement than the physician is to a patient when he prescribes harsh remedies to an inveterate disease.

If my boisterous polemics and prodigal verbal showmanship have offended anybody, I plead profusely for forgiveness.

The truth is bitter but when we muster courage and swallow it, society will be the gainer not the loser.

Today, the focus is on the daughters of Eve who are now thriving as Mercenaries of Eros who live by seeking carnal communication for financial consideration.

From Takoradi, Tema, Kumasi, Koforidua, Wa, Ho to Tamale, they can be found soliciting for clients along the roads in the night. These libidinous lasses cut across tribal lines.

You see them under the red lights, almost nude and flouting all the rules of continence. Sex is for sale and at a cheaper price. Good Lord, what is happening in Ghana? 

And yet the Vice President had the courage to tell us that God is a Ghanaian because we have been able to lift the Under-20 World Cup.

These beautiful daughters of Eve are pursuing the local Drachma also known as Kufuor Dollar. They do not care about the risks involved in their pursuit of the Drachma because to them, with money all things are possible.

The sad aspect of this calamity which is befalling the nation is that even some students who are pursuing courses in the universities are in the business. 

Ladies engaged in trading are also in the business because they want to increase their working capital. We seem to be living in a country where everybody wants to make it big, through fair or foul means.

We see poverty as a curse and as such, to uncoil ourselves from the grip of the curse, we must be rich by all means. Dignity and honour have been thrown to the dogs.   

This mad pursuit of the local Drachma is being led by politicians. District, Municipal and Metropolitan Chief Executives are seriously amassing wealth even before they are a year old on the seat.

They are acting as if the world is about to come to an end.  Hitherto, most of these people were malnourished party supporters, but now that they have found their ways in the corridors of power they have suddenly become Epicurean and living good.

They have started acquiring the taste of good things in life. It is becoming crystal clear that Egya Atta's noise about fighting corruption is a mirage.

Nearly a year into his regime, the perceived corruption that is associated with political office holders has skyrocketed. Poor Ghanaians, we seem to be losing the battle everyday.

In today's Ghana, some MMDCEs and Regional Ministers whose names were not heard some eight years ago have suddenly become the Bill Gates of this part of the globe.

I do not think President Mills knows that all too soon some of his MMDCEs have started building houses and sending their children to prestigious schools.

They seem to be in a rush to make it because there is the fear that in no time the President will reshuffle his government.

What is making the situation serious is that projects initiated by the previous government are being sidelined for new ones because there is the usual twenty per cent kickback to the MCE or DCE.  Continued    Source: Daily Guide - Daily Guide
