We must not sit unconcerned while our rapacious rent-seeking state-capture big-thieves-in-high-places get away with murder

Ghana's 1992 Constitution enjoins leaders of sundry governments-of-the-day to refrain from sanctioning secret clauses in all the agreements they sign on behalf of the good people of Ghana, and the Ghanaian nation-state.

Furthermore, should we also not tear up the obnoxious SynoHydro agreement, apparently signed with secret clauses in them that are allegedly detrimental to the overall interests of ordinary people and that of Mother Ghana, too, anaaaa?
