Query From My Head Of Service – Evidence Of The System I Am Fighting

Query From My Head Of Service – Evidence Of The System I Am Fighting

I just don’t know how to thank my maker for how far he has brought me. If someone tells you that there is no God, tell him it is a big lie! God is still in the business of saving people and countries. Someone say Amen to that!

Today has been the happiest day in my life since I started this struggle to liberate Ghana from the clutches of darkness. Ghana is a winner today!

Frafra/Nankani people say “Bunga san yeti ka lobe fo, hu ka yeti ka tuba” and the Kassena man would say “Bonaga na lagi si ka dim, mba ne ka swa” literally meaning if a donkey wants to drop you from its back, you don’t see it ears and I am sure other dialects have similar proverbs! I was thinking after reading the addendum to my press statement someone would have listened to me. In one of my Open letters, I said “I am sure you have been told that I have nothing to lose. To be honest with you, those people are right. I am fed up with the way the system is operating and I have resolved to stop complaining and do something for mother Ghana. You are just caught in that web. Watch out for my news conference soon”. Read more at: http://www.modernghana.com/news/648755/1/open-letter-to-my-head-of-service.html. In a letter to CLOGSAG dated 12th October, 2015 which they never bothered to respond, I said “From now on, I am going to be like a ghost hunting people who thrive on injustice like CLOGSAG and Dr. Callistus Mahama until they change” I thought unfolding events would have told someone something? Hmmmm...

Fellow Ghanaians this is the more reason why I was more than convinced to take on this struggle for all of you, the silent majority! The intimidation and hypocrisy that I talked about at my press conference has just been practical demonstrated here. Today I received a query from my direct boss saying and I quote “It was noticed that you were absent from work on Wednesday morning the 14th of October, 2015. You however reported for work at 2:00 pm on same day. Could you please explain in writing why disciplinary action should not be taken against you for absenting yourself without permission? Please let me have your response by the close of day latest Friday, 16th October, 2015. Thank you.” I responded, thanks to technology, by saying “As you can see in the media and in the attached GNA news item, I was working for mother Ghana in another capacity. Kind regards”. I hope you can see why I am so happy today and in the words of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, “The battle has ended”. Let us rejoice!

Please don’t be deceived, my boss was directed to write that query. I know him very well and he will not do such a thing. My boss has the experience and knows what goes on in the public service and will dare not make that mistake. Only inexperience public servants will take that advice to initiate such a process at this stage so they can get me out of the system. God is good and Ghana is a winner! He who is in me is bigger and greater than intimidation, hypocrisy and sycophancy! I know people in that office who hardly come to the office because of the system I am currently fighting and are solidly behind me and ready to testify anywhere I call them but are never queried. And I just learnt something too today and I was telling some people about it. If the savour comes today, a lot of us would miss the opportunity to go to paradise with him.

Why won’t someone do the honourable thing now? CLOGSAG are you there? I hope someone too would listen to me!

I shall be back!
