Treason The Price Of Dis-Loyalty

Treason The Price Of Dis-Loyalty
15.12.2014 LISTEN

Permit me the chance to bore you with this boring piece of a dirty dusty villager whose voice is heard and opinions taken seriously in the people's parliament.

Political parties are very complex institutions where respect and total submission to the leader, who is the 'supreme' head and who must be protected even at the peril of ones life. It even becomes worse and worrisome when those who should be protecting the leader are seen as those fighting for their interest, personal egocentric interest.

There comes a time when the voice of dissent (treason) is rewarded with hanging. In law, treason is the crime that covers some of the more extreme acts against one's sovereign or nation. The purpose of this article is to cause an already existing debate-in-secrecy open of the upcoming NDC December 20th 2014 Congress In Kumasi.

The above examples where given to enable us read about people who when they rose against an established institution had to pay for it either with their lives or had to go into exile.

Between 1992 and 2000, members of the NDC paid their dues to the leader of the party, Flt Lt Jerry John Rawlings because he was the leader of the party.

Things took a different turn when during the era of Prof John Evans Fifii Atta Mills of blessed memory, just anybody could throw tantrums at him just because they made some request and were not given.

Remember the De-Rastafied Rastman and how he threw bombs and tantrums just because he wasn't given some schorlarship that he so wanted. The comments of making JEAM a one time President must not be celebrated or rewarded. Do you remember how the NPP dealt with John Alan Kyeremanteng when he out of annoyance left the NPP and was pampered back because NPP wanted his vptes and that of his followers. From then on, Alan has constantly reduced in terms of support from within.

NDC AWAKE
There were a few gallant young men and soldiers who took the brimstones and pebbles on behalf of John Evans Atta Mills. Samuel Okudjeto Ablakwa code-named baby with sharp teeth, Koku 'The Bull' Ayindoho amongst others must have their names carved in gold, because they held the forte. But what are we doing to JDM? This kind of exposure must be condemned. We have to protect him from the darts of the Oluu and his gang of desperate fellows.

Party is the mother and we need to protect our mother.

Robert Baille was convicted 1st May 1701 for the Rye House Plot in Scotland so why should the NDC pat the backs of Traitors (too strong a word abii).

Gen Asiedu Nketia has been loud on his campaign for getting loyalists to work with him, well interprete it the way you want to. attack me If you choose to, call me names if you want to but it's high time we joined the quiet majority who wants their voices heard.

If you think you are loyal to the NDC, continue your campaign but we have one agenda.
