Corruption name calling…


Former First Lady, Nana Konadu Agyemang again criticised the NPP government for being corrupt and also for abusing power. This game of corruption name calling has to stop. As far as I’m concern the whole system of government is corrupt therefore anybody who occupiers or operate within such system of government is corrupt including those who believe in it. This western adopted style of system which is base on western traditional values is 360° opposite from our true ‘n’ true core traditional African values which are based on serving the community we live in and where Kings lead by example.

Our kings went to war to die for us and the fact of they being born as royals, their life style and entire being had to depict true leadership based on care for the people whom they serve. The African traditional way of government was so democratic that a king can easily be overthrown just by the removal of his shoes, and mostly their removal are based on an immoral way of ruling or simply unfair , unjust and unconscionable method of ruling.

Now, I am by no means suggesting we should go back in time to assume all our traditional way of life. But, the logic is that our modern system of government should be base on our true ‘n’ true traditional values and within it should we develop ourselves to meet the modern world. The fatal mistake we have done so far is to adopt the system of government which was used to suppress and oppress us. Yet, we have no shame but simply talk about such system as if we have a clue of what that system actually was created for and we brag about the so called "2008 democratic election" seemingly begging to receive a reward from the west for a job well done in applying their democratic system of rule. I believe that sooner than later, a new generation of Africans will go back and claim the best bit of our culture, change our way of thinking and shape a better future of governance which is base on fair, just and consciousness traditional values.
