The Revolution Ghana Needs: NPP-Canada Commends Anas Aremeyaw

Though the story itself may not appear particularly surprising to most Ghanaians given what Ghanaians have come to painfully learn of officialdom and pervasive corruption, it was still a surprise given the thoroughness, unambiguity, scope and ingenuity of the investigations.

NPP-Canada hereby joins many well-meaning Ghanaians in saluting Mr. Anas Aremeyaw Anas and his team for a job well done.

Mr. Anas’ latest expose is about a two-year long investigation that reveals the stinkingly corrupt practices of some members of the Judiciary in Ghana. It comes in a line of previous distinguished and commendable investigations.

Given the unbridled corruption that has bedeviled the lives of most Ghanaians in recent times, some Ghanaians have been known to express a wistfulness for a “revolution”. What Mr. Anas has done is the clearest indication yet that the best REVOLUTIONS are not wrought by bullets, guns, machetes and kangaroo courts. Rather, they are the product of patience, brilliance, ingenuity, perseverance, and patriotism.

President John F. Kennedy once said that “those who make peaceful revolutions impossible, make violent revolutions inevitable”.

George Bernard Shaw said that “those who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it”.

Ohemaa Yaa Asantewaa delivered these hallowed words…”

"Now I see that some of you fear to go forward to fight for our King. If it was in the brave days of Osei Tutu, Okomfo Anokye, and Opoku Ware I, chiefs would not sit down to see their King taken away without firing a shot. No European could have dared spoken to Chiefs of Asante in the way the governor spoke to you this morning. Is it true that the bravery of Asante is no more? I cannot believe it. It cannot be! I must say this: if you, the men of Asante, will not go forward, then we will. We, the women, will. I shall call upon my fellow women. We will fight! We will fight till the last of us falls in the battlefields"

Mr. Anas Aremayaw Anas and his team have embarked upon a revolution that all patriotic Ghanaians should encourage and support. Those who cannot support his efforts should neither discourage nor thwart his efforts. What has been done by Mr. Anas ought to have been the duty of Institutions of State such as the Judiciary, the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI), the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service, EOCO, etc. If those who are imbued with the powers of the State to fight corruption in all its forms “will not go forward”, then The People (as exemplified by Mr. Anas) must.

NPP-Canada calls on the Government and other organs of state to act judiciously, lawfully and with dispatch to prosecute all wrong-doers in this matter, and indeed in all other such matters.

Once again, NPP-Canada salutes Mr. Anas Aremeyaw Anas and his team. Bravo! This is a revolution we can be proud of and can associate with.
