[contextly_sidebar id=”IqYUFmNXeUoXUUZgRRTNmrOjotZ8rDTU”]Rawlings had opined that the NDC lost bitterly in the December 7, 2016 polls due to some huge corruption scandals<\/strong><\/a><\/span> that rocked the Mahama administration and had on several instances praised President Akufo-Addo of having zero tolerance for corruption.<\/p>\n While calling for a complete overhaul<\/strong><\/a><\/span> of the leadership of the NDC, Rawlings said the party has thrown into the gutters the long tenants of the party which included probity, transparency and accountability.<\/p>\n But Dr. Sawyerr in her latest epistle said Rawlings is not being fair to the NDC in the wake of some scandals that has rocked the Akufo-Addo\u2019s government.<\/p>\n They say he booms \u2026 I say he buzzes \u2026 like an agitated mosquito \u2026 looking for his next victim. Again, he heads for other Heads of State \u2026 describing their governance as riddled with corruption. Is he trying to say that his reign was unblemished or that his twin brother\u2019s (President Akufo-Addo) reign is unsullied? Really? Who born dog \u2026 in fact \u2026 who born monkey?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cJJ oooo JJ \u2026 the great Papa JJ \u2026 the one and only Junior Jesus \u2026 the great saint who never does wrong \u2026 you are still flogging a dead horse \u2026 the NDC is in opposition in case you have not noticed, while a living raging bull is moving around with reckless abandon destroying everything it finds in its path including the assets and citizens of this nation,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n Below is Dr. Sawyerr\u2019s full article:<\/strong><\/p>\n When will this buzzing sound stop? Aaba! Should I call them ntomtom (Twi word for \u2018mosquitoes\u2019) or nwansena (Twi word for \u2018flies\u2019)? In the Ga dialect, the mosquito is referred to as tonton and the fly adidon.<\/p>\n Yet another day dawns in which we are supposed to share love, peace and laughter … yet again the buzzing sound is on \u2026 distracting all from the joy that the day brings.<\/p>\n They say he booms \u2026 I say he buzzes \u2026 like an agitated mosquito \u2026 looking for his next victim. Again, he heads for other Heads of State \u2026 describing their governance as riddled with corruption. Is he trying to say that his reign was unblemished or that his twin brother\u2019s (President Akufo-Addo) reign is unsullied? Really?<\/p>\n Who born dog \u2026 in fact \u2026 who born monkey?<\/p>\n I could go on and on \u2026<\/p>\n JJ oooo JJ \u2026 the great Papa JJ \u2026 the one and only Junior Jesus \u2026 the great saint who never does wrong \u2026 you are still flogging a dead horse \u2026 the NDC is in Opposition in case you have not noticed, while a living raging bull is moving around with reckless abandon destroying everything it finds in its path including the assets and citizens of this nation.<\/p>\n \u2026 but I guess you really can\u2019t see it \u2026 or you are waiting for it to raise its tusks in avenging rage to gore your eyes out. I hope when the tusks are raised, the bond or pact you have made with the \u2018brass band conducting\u2019 President will be strong enough to cause the tusks to be lowered before they pierce your eyes that see only what you want to see in line with whatever agenda you deem fit. By the way, did you see the President conducting the brass band? Was that the police band or army band? Was it in Ghana or overseas? Ei, Mr. President, what was that?<\/p>\n Papa Stone, I hear you said: Who has said you don\u2019t like the NDC? Are you setting your own questions and answering them please? Nobody has said you do not like the NDC. Stop putting words in our mouths.<\/p>\n Indeed, some think you crave for the NDC so much that you are prepared to destroy anyone and anything in the NDC if that will suit your agenda to always be in control of the NDC.<\/p>\n \u2026 but I don\u2019t blame you Papa J … I blame the NDC \u2026 after you taught us probity, accountability and transparency, why can\u2019t we rise to demand same of you? After you taught us to be fearless in upholding the truth, why don\u2019t we rise to demand same of you? When you twist and manipulate us, why don\u2019t our leaders ask you why you are breaching your own so-called rules?<\/p>\n With all due respect, have you named those you KNOW to be involved in corruption?<\/p>\n You never know what their explanations would be. It is therefore important that \u2026 and what is Comrade Martin Amidu also babbling about? Martin, did I not tell you that your pomposity, over-bloated ego and sense of self-importance constitute your Achilles heel? Remember, when I told you (years ago) after a presidential press conference, that a directive had been issued that no appointee should grant a press interview in order to avoid any contradictory statements on air \u2026 and you screeched \u2026 \u2018who are you \u2026 small girl like you \u2026 where were you when I was Attorney General\u2019 etc etc? Remember I told you that it is your Achilles heel that would destroy you?<\/p>\n Barely a week or so after that, you were relieved of your post as Attorney-General after attempting to assault a sitting Head of State? Since then you have become a so-called crusader, sinking lower and lower in the NDC as you seem to rise higher and higher in the NPP. I am not a soothsayer, neither am I a harbinger of gloom and doom \u2026 but once again I say to you \u2026 this time with a nation full of witnesses \u2026 that your Achilles heel will destroy you!<\/p>\n Respectfully Martin, cut the crap! You have achieved your aim \u2026 the NDC is in opposition. I challenge you to resign from the NDC since you no longer promote the cause of the NDC. Or do you also subscribe to the agenda to destroy to take over? The agenda that is based on the premise that it is easier to take over the NDC when it is in Opposition!<\/p>\n Hahahahaha!!!<\/p>\n Buzz buzzzzz buzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!<\/p>\n Papa J, what happened to the anti-malaria crusade you were supposed to have embarked on after you left office? We have not heard much about it. Did you not find enough minions to work on it for you to ensure that you could take the glory?<\/p>\n Is it true that you fell out with a majority of those who worked diligently for you at different stages of your journey \u2026 the Ahwois, the Tsikatas, the Peprahs, the Abodakpis, the PV Obengs (blessed memory), the Sherry Ayiteys, the Kwesi Botchweys, the Martha Tamakloes, the Sipa Yankeys, the Ibrahim Adams, the Mould Iddrisus, the Herbert Mensahs and a whole host of others?<\/p>\n I guess the anti-malaria crusade was too calm a crusade for you. Then with all due respect, please look for something more exciting \u2026<\/p>\n President Akufo-Addo \u2026 where are your men and women? Do not be deceived by JJ\u2019s recent rantings that seem to favour your cause. Your Government in seven months is reeking of corruption. Rise up and do something about it instead of waving that baton with that uninspiring look on your face \u2026 to the left, up and down\u2026 to the right, up and down! A man is only as good as his word!<\/p>\n \u2026 and for your information, the primary responsibilities of a conductor is to \u2018unify performers, set the tempo, execute clear preparations and beats, listen critically and shape the sound of the ensemble, and to control the interpretation and pacing of the music\u2019 (Wikipedia). With all due respect, is that what you were doing in the \u2018conducting video\u2019 I saw? Is that what you are doing in governance today?<\/p>\n Years ago, we used to have some kind of insect spraying equipment that looked like a pump … it had a can which contained the insecticide and a long arm for pumping the insecticide towards the target. Nowadays, we have a simple tall can with a spray nozzle at the top. Maybe it is time to stop the gentle puffs with the modern cans and find one of the old bazookas!<\/p>\n The buzzing sound still continues \u2026 I am going back into hibernation \u2026 what I choose to call \u2018Peaceful Opposition\u2019!<\/p>\n \u2026 but before I leave \u2026 Mr. President, is it true that Peter Mac Manu (former NPP Chairman) was deported from Kenya where he was going to consult for the National Super Alliance (Nasa), Kenya\u2019s Opposition Coalition, on \u2018control\u2019 of electoral data? \u2026 hmmm!<\/p>\n I am for peace \u2026 Shalom!!! –<\/p>\n By:\u00a0Dr. Valerie Sawyerr<\/p>\n The writer is a former Deputy Chief of Staff<\/em><\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Godwin Akweiteh Allotey\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana\n

\n\u2018When I talk they say I don\u2019t like NDC, no! I don\u2019t like stealing, I don\u2019t like disgrace so if NDC does good I will praise them if they are bad I will say it as well\u2019.<\/p>\n\n
\nyou name them and allow them to have a hearing in line with the rules of natural
\njustice.<\/p>\n\n
