Somewhere last year, when doctors went on strike over unpaid allowances,
lots of Ghanaians, educated and uneducated, rich and poor and even some
young people on this platform took up arms, lambasted and castigated and
even insulted all health workers with very unsavory terms. Now, today,
doctors have not been paid for 11 months, they have to picket and cue up
at the finance ministry all day, to be heard and yet these same freedom
fighters who were very loud last year
are now suffering from temporary deafness and dumbness.
To these people, I say, SHAME ON YOU!
You have demonstrated the fullest extent of your hypocrisy. When it affected you, it was unfair, inhumane and unacceptable. Now it doesn't so it is not worth pursuing. Laugh at yourself. A nation that does not care for its citizens, will rue the day, its citizens abandon it. Laugh at yourself, because if you allow the flood waters to take your neighbor, don't forget it is coming for you too. Laugh at yourself, our nation is only surviving on its last breaths and we are sitting down, staring. Laugh at yourself, no one will come and save us, we better do it ourselves.
But stop laughing at yourself, get up and fight for justice and equity. Get up and get to work. Ghana can only be saved by Ghanaians. The choice is still ours.
