Mr. John Mahama has been accused of massive corruption since his first day in office as a Vice-President and, subsequently, as President of the Republic of Ghana, after the suspicious demise of H.E. Professor Atta Mills, who was bundled up in the back of a taxi and sent to the maternity ward of the 37 Military Hospital, as if he were a non-entity.
Besides, due to his proven incompetence, it is quite difficult to add the prefix title "His Excellency". How about "His Incompetency" the President? To avoid embarrassment that our President is incompetent, let me address him appropriately as Mr President.
In fact, the latest #FordExpedition gift/bribery scandal corroborated those suspicions, especially that he had been cited in many cases of mass corruption such as property acquisitions in the Middle East and the three cargo vessels that were said to be docked in Tokyo; all his. That notwithstanding, the massive loss to the State emanating from a small contract as erecting a parameter wall around the Embassy of Ghana in Burkina Faso was just the tip of the iceberg.
Many questions need to be asked that he might not have answers to. For example, Azandol Construction Company Limited, a Burkinabe business entity, also tendered a quotation for the same project with a price tag of $342,000 (three hundred and forty two thousand US Dollars), so how come it was rather given to Djibril Kanazoe for $645,000 (six hundred and forty five thousand US Dollars)? My GOD! That was almost double the amount! Besides, the wall could not have cost more than $100,000 (one hundred thousand US Dollars).
I wish to take this opportunity to call on AESL, which is a government consultancy and survey company, to travel to Burkina Faso and estimate the cost. At least, the director should understand that they owe it a duty to Ghanaians who make their livelihoods possible to make good on their mandate and put before the nation the respective analysis and cost survey of this most needless project.
I am, also, calling on the largest opposition Party in the country, the NPP, to begin impeachment proceedings against Mr. President, John Mahama. Not only has the President brought shame onto the nation with his hypocritical fight against corruption when he is neck-deep in same, but his seeming immoral behaviour is reeling in more slur to Ghana. Recently, word made the rounds that Nadia Buari claimed that he was the father of her twins. She further claimed that they were the result of a one night stand.
Eiish, omanpanin y3 barima paa. This I have to give him. What! One night stand with the President produced twins? He must have been very hot!
But then again, a man living with Lordina Mahama sometimes cannot be blamed that much. However, to have engaged in such a loose immoral activity, and unprotected, without so much as a thought about his reputation and the shame that his action would undoubtedly bring to the nation, is an abomination that should not be countenanced. Either he resigns or face impeachment, for which there must be a massive call.
Mr. President should subject himself to a DNA test to settle the dust on this case, which if proven positive should be enough premise for impeachment.
On another note, if the Burkina Faso contract was so inflated , something like 400%, and for obvious reasons of corruption, how much were the other projects inflated? For example, Amandi's projects, the Brazilian Company's projects and others. My goodness, the over-pricing is so serious that the resulting financial losses to the State could be harnessed to finance free SHS for ten years or build two factories per district instead of NPP's planned #1district1factory, which of course is very doable.
Soon, we, also, learned that he carries a gun and 200 bullets on his person. Is that not an insult to the security that the nation affords him? Or what does he intend using it for? I hope he is not contemplating suicide. May GOD grant him a long life so that he may discern the difference between his incompetence and the wise Presidency of Nana Akufo-Addo. It is a shame that the Presidency should be associated with such callous behaviour, impudence, corruption and theft. GOD save Ghana!
