This isn’t to open old wounds but I am just concerned about the possibility of an event happening and people taking sides because of politics instead of truth.
What am I talking about if not the two labyrinthine mazes, the serial killing of women in 2000 and the Hit-list in 2008? I stand to be corrected; it seems these two things happened in years when Ghana had run-offs. And both took political colorations.
Although party F is accusing party Y of this and that, could it be mere politics? Even if it is, there is a danger. Who will claim responsibility for a bizarre death of any of these names on the list, should it happen any moment from now. Are we still going to say its party F’s fabrication or Y’s revenge plan? Besides there could also be even a third complicating factor where someone having a personal problem with any of the people on the list will take advantage of the Hit-list and visit harm on his perceived enemy.
It is a concern my dear brothers and sister. The question "Who masterminded the Serial Killing?" is not different from "Who masterminded the Hit-list?" because the Hit-list has rendered the people on such list serially prone to be killed by any hater. Now either of the two parties can initiate it and push the blame on the other party.
This leads me to another question and I ask; Why do we vote a party into power? To protect us? If so, I will want to call on the leadership of the two parties in the run-off to come together, set up a Truth Finding Commission with the help of the security set-up to unearth the source of this Hit-list Puzzle before any of the people on the list drops dead.
Whatever the argument may be, should one of them drop dead, first, it is a human that is dead; second, a citizen of Ghana is dead and third, a child of God is dead. Do we still have to sit down and argue it out politically or we have to take pragmatic measures to protect life and give each human being living in Ghana a sense of security? Sit up brothers and sisters!
