Should the Professor Solomon Fokuor Kwartengs in our midst stop speaking out of turn?

Should the Professor Solomon Fokuor Kwartengs in our midst stop speaking out of turn?

Dear critical-reader, in the matter of the sale of hospitality sector assets owned by the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) to privately owned Rock City Hotels (https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/business/Hotels-sale-SSNIT-Rock-City-did-not-break-any-law-Dr-Solomon-Kwarteng-1938444), perhaps the question that independent-minded Ghanaians who care about the well-being of their country ought to ponder over is: Should the Professor Solomon Fokuor Kwartengs in our midst stop speaking out of turn?

Perhaps the Dr. Solomon Fokuor Kwartengs in our midst, should study the partial privatisation model used to privatise the well-run and profit-generating partially state-owned oil marketing company, Ghana Oil Company Limited (GOIL), anaaaa, Ghanafuor, lol?

Whatever be the case, if they did so, one has absolutely no doubts whatsoever that instead of backing this abominable example of egregious state-capture rent-seeking, by our criticism-averse big-thieves-in-high-places whose unfathomable greed has ended up bankrupting our Republic, they would rather recommend the GOIL partial privatisation model, as the best way to transform Ghana (a beautiful and bountiful resource-rich but sadly bankrupted African nation-state, whose currency the Ghana Cedi, is the mightiest superpower in the opaque world of junk currencies, which is jampacked with financial-illerates, lol), into a share-owning democracy, when privatising state owned commercial entities, oooo Ghanafuor. 3y3nsem piiiii, ooooo. Yoooooooo...

The trouble with such geniuses who metaphorically wear fashionable designer rose-tinted-spectacles, dear critical-reader, is that because they live in golden-sinicured Ivory Tower cocoons-of-comfort, they are blithely oblivious of the fact that Ghana, a nation whose citizens are currently going through an unprecedented cost-of-living crisis, fuelled by price-gouging greedflation that has turned the lives of millions of countless families upside down, actually sits atop a boiling cauldron-of-discontent, so to speak, beneath which is a ticking social time bomb that could explode at any moment, oooo, Ghanafuor. Yoooooooo...

"Blind as bats, Kofi - the bloody blood-sucking intellectual sods, lol!", to quote an old acquaintance's description of that privileged Ghanaian societal demographic. Be that as it may, in this particular matter, dear critical-reader, it would be best all round, were the Professor Solomon Fokuor Kwartengs in our midst to stop speaking out of turn. Full stop. A word to the wise. Hmmm, Kafkaesque Anansesemkrom Ghana, paaaa diy33 - tweaaaaaaaa...
