How Many Black Briefcases Needed For Smuggling-Trips Ferrying 26 million In Cash - From Abroad To Sikakrom?
13.10.2020 LISTEN

Sikakromfuo, just how many briefcases will be needed for smuggling-trips ferrying £26 million in cash from abroad, koraaaaa? Amanfuo, we definitely need to calm down on this particular issue, ooooo. Yoooooo...

Perhaps the question we must ponder over is: If the world is now rapidly digitising many aspects of humanity's personal and societal interactions, and putting same online, should we not make cybercrime a treasonable offence - since it could easily erode that great intangible, CONFIDENCE, in our homeland Ghana? Yooooooo...

As for the matter at hand, my humble advice on such matters, to our nation's hard-of-hearing ruling-elites (across the spectrum!), is that if they are being truthful, and have nothing to hide, in such matters, why do they not simply ask Ghana's concerned CSOs, to invite the local chapters of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), when such issues crop up, for them to ascertain the facts, and put the results out into the public domain, worldwide? Simple. Case closed. Who born dog? Haaba.

Ghanafuo, at the end of the day, it is always prudent, when such serious allegations are made, to be skeptical about the pronouncements of both government and opposition spokespersons - in this case, the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) Hon. Kwadwo Oppong Nkrumah, and the National Democratic Congress' (NDC) Hon. Alhaji Fuseini: in the small matter of the alleged £26 million in cash said to have been smuggled from overseas through Sikakrom's Ogyakrom's shinny-new international airport. Simple.

And, just one small point, Ghanafuo: It is a known fact that all manner of stuff goes through diplomatic bags from our overseas diplomatic missions, oooo, Amanfuo. And, there is no question that that has gone on, under both NPP and NDC regimes. For sure.

The plain truth, is that, sadly, as a result of their need for zillions of off-ledger-cash, to fund their increasingly costly nationwide operations, both our country's biggest political parties, the NPP, and NDC, have morphed into criminal organsations funded by respectable and not-so-respectable criminals. The strictures of Hon Kwadwo Oppong Nkrumah not withstanding, the question we must ponder over is: How many briefcases will be needed for smuggling-trips ferrying £26 million in cash, from abroad, koraaaaa? Hmmmm, Oman Ghana - eyeasem, ooooo: enti, yeweiy3 paaaaa, enei? Asem kesie, bi, ebeba debi ankasaa, oooooo. Yoooooo...
