I’m also astounded by how some NPP members go about their everyday business as if they are unaware of the general sentiment in Ghana and the probable peril that the party faces in the near future.
Even if we do everything properly from now, renowned and reliable experts have indicated that given the terrible and nearly hopeless situation of the national economy, it may take Ghana at least 30 years to see any sort of recovery. We are informed by other educated economists who share the same level of credibility that they are unaware of any nation that has recovered from the kind of depression the NPP has caused. I’ve been informed that the year 2024 will be economically unstable.
The government seems to have given up on tackling the issues at hand, acting as if its work was done and Ghanaians should wait for the next administration to deal with the multitude of issues the nation is currently experiencing. HOW DID WE GET HERE, NPP?
The NPP’s current structure bears no similarity to the tradition that inspired it. On a personal level, I don’t see what I have in common with some of the individuals in positions of political responsibility, those managing party operations, and even those professing to be party elders. HOW DID WE GET HERE, NPP?
I had always thought that the New Patriotic Party was the only significant political party in Ghana whose guiding principles were founded on the rule of law, respect for one’s individual rights, opinions, and dignity, basic human rights, pluralism, and most importantly, the separation of powers.
As far as I’m aware, the NPP tradition does not hold that political power should be given to one person, a group of people, and their family, friends, and concubines. God grants humans the essential rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, hence the term “fundamental rights.” They aren’t gifts from a kind government. Therefore, anyone or any system that violates these rights commits a sin against God and is unfit to reign.
