A neo-colonial state apparatus could not support a revolution

When ex-president Rawlings was interviewed by Mr. Kobby Asmah, the political editor of the “daily graphic” which was published on page 32, Monday July 25th 2016, he rightly told Ghanaians that, we did not go into government to make money or do business.

Because of that, we ran a corrupt free administration. He said the revolutionary government of the PNDC was fighting neo-colonialism but Rawlings knew very well that a neo-colonial state apparatus could not support such a progressive revolution and yet he launched that extreme sacrificial revolution because the situation at that time demanded it in 1982.

The neo-colonial state apparatus

What happened after the 31st December revolution was launched? Answer: the country’s administration did not support that revolution and the cadres then called Peoples’ Defence Committees (P.D.C) and Workers Defence Committees (W.D.Cs’) saw its members clashing with The police and the judiciary leading to the establishment of public tribunals at the national regional and district levels as well as the Ghana Bar Association (GBA) which is now the political wing of the violent prone NPP.

The country’s civil servants refused to be left out of the boycott and so they joined the anti-revolutionary institutions cited above.

Having said this, dear reader, what do you say? It was too glaring and it had not been easy for the revolution to fully fight the above entrenched neo-colonial institutions that existed during the Gold Coast era even before Ghana’s independence on 6th March, 1957.

It was therefore not surprising that upon coming into force of the 1992 constitution, the public tribunals whose panelists could not be bribed were the first institution to be swallowed by the Judiciary in place of judicial corruption which patriot Anas Aremeyaw.

Anas has started an investigative house cleaning exercise under cover exposing Magistrates and High court judges who were all doing business as usual after the PNDC era, after all, man must eat and enjoy.

All cases pending before the national tribunal immediately before the coming into force of the 1992 constitution shall be transferred to such court or tribunal as the Chief Justice may direct.

Any person employed with any public tribunal immediately before the coming into force of the 1992 constitution and who is qualified and suitable for appointment to any office or position in the judicial service may be so appointed if recommended to be appointed by the judicial council-Hmmmmmm.

Do you know what? The judicial council will never recommend such appointees because they were all Rawlings boys who would become spies on some corrupt judicial officers and judges and so they (former tribunal employees) had to go home, no matter their qualifications and they all went against their will and they could not even petition anybody or group of people in this country.

That was the price they paid for becoming members of the Board of the Public Tribunals who always refuse to collect bribes when performing their duties.

The Office of Revenue Commissioners (ORC) which was established under the revenue commissions law 1984 (PNDC Law 80). The National Investigations Committee (NIC) law in 1982 (PNDC LAW 2) and the state houses allocation policy and implementation commission established under the state houses (allocation policy and implementation commission law, 1984(PNDC LAW 83) were all ABOLISHED in 1992.

Upon coming into force of this constitution, the Provisional National Defence Council (Establishment proclamation supplementary and consequential provisions law, 1982) (PNDC LAW 42) shall cease to exist or to have effect.

Now, if the PNDC government is no more, there is no law that compels state institutions to employ any Rawlings boys (I mean the cadres) no matter their academic qualifications. Do you see where I am directing you to remember?

According to the anti-revolutionaries, the “so-called revolution” of Rawlings as they term it is no more, so it is now Business as usual and this explains why some of the ruling NDC government appointees and leading figures are dissociating themselves from the June 4, PNDC and the 31st December revolutions and yet they EAT WITH BOTH HANDS in the very government party that was born out of the two revolutions.

Such appointees are very ungrateful and treacherous just like Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings who is the life patron of the June Four uprising but has never gone to the revolution square to light the perpetual flame as a respect to the fallen heroes. For such appointees, their days are numbered for we would never sit down for them to destroy the great NDC.

Our foreign enemies after Rawlings’ handed over to Dr. Limann on September, 24th 1979, the British armed forces agreed to the re-organization of the Ghana armed forces after June 4 uprising only on condition that Rawlings be retired prematurely-which could only mean doing away with the only soldier who could have but power back in the hand of civilians.

The British MI6 made an attempt on Rawlings life twice but failed. The United States and Britain observed that the efforts of Rawlings and the AFRC to stamp out corruption which was ravaging the state machinery were gaining a considerable important amount of support for him and so he had to be eliminated hence the attempt on his life twice in 1980.

It is in fact these attempts to rectify matters that had brought Rawlings under fire from the C.I.A of America and the British MI6. Why should two foreign Intelligence Agencies want to kill a former head of state? They wanted to do so and steal Ghanaian’s Gold and Cocoa with impunity. Dear reader, are you surprised?
