Dr
Edward Omane Boamah, Minister of Communication has paid glowing tribute to
Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah, First President and founder of the Republic of
Ghana.
In a statement to mark the 106th birthday of
the Osagyefo, Dr Omane Boamah described Nkrumah as “the unique man of valour
who led Ghana to independence on a path of socio-economic transformation and
worked tirelessly to ensure freedom for the oppressed.
Dr
Omane Boamah urged all Ghanaians to reflect on the contribution of Dr Nkrumah
to the growth and development of Ghana.
September 21, the official birthday of Nkrumah
is observed each year as Founders Day.
Dr Omane Boamah wrote about Nkrumah’s
“unparalleled selfless dedication to the liberation of Ghana and Africa and his
unending spirit of no-compromise in so far as Ghana’s interest was at stake”.
He
noted that President John Dramani Mahama has through hard work, perseverance,
tolerance and patriotic zeal, recaptured the vision to transform the structure
of the Ghanaian economy.
Editorial
Holier Than Thou
Attitude
What
the people of Ghana ought to be asking themselves is how come their society has
produced judges who are allegedly perverting the course of justice for just
GHC250 (Two Hundred And Fifty Ghana Cedis)?
What
did we do wrong to produce such judges?
In
any case why do we think that in a society in which everybody and anybody abuse
power and influence, we can have judges who are upright?
As
far as we are concerned, what Anas Aremeyaw Anas has done is to hold a mirror
in front of the Ghanaian society for all of us to see our true reflection.
It is time for all of us as Ghanaians to
reflect deeply on the moral standards of our society.
This
is not about a few judges receiving or demanding favours to pervert justice, it
is about a truly rotten society and the earlier we dropped the “holier than
thou attitude” the better it will be for us all.
