It was Asiedu Nketia of the NDC who led a mob of thugs to the electoral commission in 2008 with red banderas around their heads, totally drunk and shouting chooboi chooboi, threatening to turn the peace into raging war if the NPP were declared winners of the elections, afterall. Folks, ours is a country ravaged by poverty; not poverty because we are naturally poor but because we are morally corrupt; not poverty because we are illiterates but because we are “educated illiterates”; poverty not because we lack but because we disburse our resources inefficiently; poverty not because we don’t have wealth but because our laws don’t work; poverty not because we do not have a constitution but because our constitution is powerful over the commoner and lame over the elite. That is why we suffer poverty.
