Ghanaians: act boldly to end high-level corruption

Current events have shown clearly that as wise and aspirational Africans, Ghanaians must act boldly to end high-level corruption - or high-level corruption will most definitely destroy their nation and ruin the quality of life of all who live and work hard within its territorial borders.

For most part of the period since the overthrow of President Nkrumah in 1966, regardless of the nation-building difficulties their country has been faced with, and has had to grapple with, middle-class Ghanaians have grown increasingly prosperous - and mostly tended to mind their own business: by fence-sitting and not involving themselves in what many have labelled the "dirty business of politics".

Unfortunately, that mind-your-own-business mindset, and unhelpful-attitude, has prevailed amongst middle-class Ghanaians, most especially during the 4th Republic (a period which has been completely dominated by a hard-of-hearing duopoly made up of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), and today's largest opposition party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), both beholden to faceless rent-seeking state-capture big-thieves-in-high-places), particularly because most of them have felt that somehow they could insulate themselves from the negative effects of the high-level corruption slowly destroying Ghana: regardless of the ruling party elected to govern their country, at any given point in time.

Now, as it becomes more and more obvious to the world at large, that their nation is bankrupt and debt-distressed, and is now unable to pay interest on its massive debt mountain, most middle-class Ghanaians have suddenly come to realise the danger and folly of not giving a toss about ruinous high-level corruption, and woken up to the fact that their personal well-being and accumulated wealth, can actually be destroyed by the egregious-actions, and abominable-inactions, of those elected to govern their homeland Ghana.

It is in that light that Ghanaians now need to understand clearly that as wise and aspirational Africans, they must act boldly to end high-level corruption - or high-level corruption will destroy their nation and ruin the quality of life of all who live and work hard within its territorial borders.
