I AM MAD (Making A Difference)

I AM MAD (Making A Difference)

The Legon student, Reginald Sekyi-Brown was really fashionably MAD for breaching the security of the first lady to send a clear message. When wrongdoing is normalised, normal people have to combine behaving both normally and abnormally to send a clear message. Reginald was really MAD ( Making A Difference), though the approach might be wrong.

I am MAD, you have to be MAD and every citizen have to be MAD, because wrongdoing is gaining root in the political culture of our beloved country.

Former president Kuffour came and abandoned the Aveyemi rice project. Hoards of cement caked, tractors and other farm machinery rusted. Mills-Mahama administration abandoned Kuffour's affordable housing projects across the country to go waste, whiles diligent workers struggle to find accommodation and the unemployed sleep in the street. Akuffo-Addo has been in power for almost 18 months and the University of Ghana healthcare facilty has been sitting there idle. What kind of political culture is this? That Legon student was MAD and he showed it in his approach. He is making a difference with his exceptional method of demonstration, he has forced government to come out to assure the citizens of Ghana that the facility would be opened in July and government must keep to its word.

Open that health facility on Legon campus in July as promised. Citizen are only withholding "#OpenUBMCNow", because we are taking the information minister by his word. Value for taxpayers' money should not just be a slogan. Citizens, awake, and let's be MAD (Making A difference) to have positive experience of the change we voted for.
