Mills Campaign Manifesto Missing: Who Will Find It?

President John Atta Mills

It is announced for the information of the general public that President John Evans Fiifi Atta Mills, aka Enko yie, has unfortunately misplaced his campaign manifesto booklet, which has caused him to completely forget all the promises made to Ghanaians in his bid to become the president of our dear nation, Ghana.

I therefore appeal to the public that anyone who knows the whereabouts of the said booklet should report to the office of the National Department of Complaint (NDC) Headquarters, Accra, for the following rewards; hampers, khebab, pampers, cat and corruption.

Ghanaians would bear witness that if the President had not lost this booklet, he might have done extremely different from what he seems to be doing. I say this because whatever the President does is contrary to what he promised in 2008 during his nationwide campaign tour.

One may ask how the President misplaced such an important document.

If it is not true as stated, and rather the President has intentionally denied faithful Ghanaians the prospect of having all that he promised, then the prophetic statement that I made some time back in my previous article has come to pass.

Readers would recall that in one of my articles entitled 'From a Better Ghana to a Bitter Ghana', I made two categorical points which most sympathizers of the NDC criticized me for.

Ironically, the President has in his deeds provided enough evidence to substantiate that.

The first point was that the President always does the opposite of what he says and that Ghanaians should not take him seriously.

A typical example was when he assured Ghanaians he would reduce fuel prices drastically when he assumed office as the President. In his normal opposite style, he increased the prices abnormally. As if that was not enough to kill Ghanaians, he further increased taxes to make the case worse.

There are some other taxes that he criticized in 2008. In his regime he thought it wise to take those taxes off from the petroleum products and introduce it on other products. In conclusion, what has he achieved? Robbing Peter to pay Paul?

In 2010, before the President paid a visit to the three northern regions, he made this statement: 'I am not going there because I want to change Ministers, MCEs and DCEs in those regions.'

Again, President Mills made it clear that he would not go by the agitation of supporters to dismiss DCEs. Less than 48 hours after his return, he announced the dismissal of a Regional Minister, an MCE and one DCE, contrary to what he said to the press. With this, don't you still believe that President Mills does the opposite of whatever he says?

I hate insults because it is not my style, but it is clear that NDC as a party is full of irresponsible idlers. Some may try to contest this position but the truth will always remain the truth.

I call them irresponsible based on the fact that they never want to accept their mistakes. Imagine the President telling NPP to apologize to Ghanaians because he, Atta Mills has increased fuel prices.

This is a clear case of irresponsibility shown by the President. That takes me back to what Prof. Far ones said, that any man who refuses to take responsibility of what he does, whether good or bad, will never progress in life.

Instead of the President and his Ministers, not forgetting his Vice John Dramani Mahama, to work harder and improve the economy they themselves have put into shambles, they find it prudent to complain about how poor the economy was under the governance of the NPP.

Have they recently forgotten that John Mills and John Mahama were brought to fix the broken economy, as they made Ghanaians believe in 2008? It is clear now that things have fallen apart for the NDC.

The President termed this year an action year. Ghanaians thought the action would improve their dry pockets, reduce road tolls and fuel prices and bring out some visible implementation as well as infrastructure, as they witnessed during the era of the NPP.

Their thoughts were far from target because the said action meant the sacking of Ministers, MCEs and DCEs. That is all there is to it.

If Ghanaians truly want to understand what that action meant, they should read the opposite meaning of it.

I hold my fire for now and ask faithful Ghanaians to judge.
