Barima Muntari You’re Vindicated!

Feature Article Barima Muntari Youre Vindicated!
SEP 12, 2014 LISTEN

“Alhaji Muntari should be very very proud of his son, he thought him well; fight for what's right regardless of the price; he has produced an exemplary citizen worthy to be called Son of Ghana! With time he will be vindicated because he's on the right side of history” on quote from my last piece!

The true Son of Ghana, Barima Sulley Muntari is vindicated! Considering the revelations coming out of the Presidential commission that contracts were made by word of mouth without any paper trail for the Ghanaian tax payer to ascertain the true price tag of our participation in the World cup. Oman Ghana owes Barima Muntari debt of gratitude and a Big thanks for his LOVE of Country!

Can anybody tell me with a straight face, will the nation be privy to all theserevelations had it not been Mr. Muntari's bravery and patriotism for taking action? Instead of being rewarded he's being made a scape goat; these exposed corrupt officials and the various travel agencies and companies must be made to refund all payments to the national coffers since Oman Ghana has no contractual obligations to pay them a dime if services were provided by word of mouth and not signed contracts with specific payment schedules and amounts to allow for audits and monitoring!

How can the Director of Finance of Kenpong travel and Tours, George E. Amoako tellthe commission and the nation his company was formed right after Black Stars qualified for Brazil; secondly he was a cousin to the sports Minister Elvis Afriyie Ankrah (a serious conflict of interest on the part of the minister); and the worst of it does business on word-of-mouth;a prouncement that leads the Ghanaian tax payer to conclude that the whole pansy scheme was setup to defraud the country; this whole scheme smells to high heaven!

Are we to believe that their travelling customers secure their travel tickets by word of mouth on the promise of payment at the arrival of their destinations?!A revelation that made one of the judges at the commission exclaims “Jesus Christ! Is it how you conduct business in the country” Nowthat we're beginning to unveil the scale of corruption. Nepotism and cronyismthat went on with this WC campaign, I for one will forever be grateful for Mr. Muntari fury and out-burst. I'm certain Obarima Sulley had no idea his one moment of rage and patriotism will pry open wide the doors of corruption in high places.

In my last piece I wrote “To judge a man's heart, you do so by his deeds not his pronouncement” and I also said his heart was in the right place; well, once again Mr. Muntari has proved his love of country is far deeper than self aggrandizement by flying down from his base to support his team mates and his beloved Black Stars; what a patriot!

A lesser man or a self-centered person will have said to hell with an ungrateful country and stayed away; but, here he is proud to lend his support. What more does this man have to do to prove his love of country comes first in his service to country! Obarima Muntari God bless you, and may you go on to coach and manage our Golden jewel! I'm sure Osagyefo is smiling down on such a gallant son; these are the sons and daughters he had hoped to produced. Once again on the bases of these revelations, I repeat! You do not owe anyone any apologies; on the contrary the nation owe you an apology and a debt of gratitude.
