For the past three months, I have not been able to sleep as a result of the chaos and disorderliness in some part of Ghana's capital city, Accra. After the 2008 general elections, anarchy has become the order of the day. The rule of law has been thrown away and people use all sorts of means to intimidate innocent ones. We have leaders who pretend nothing is wrong.
Our children and mothers are victims of situations they knew nothing about but our political leaders sit unconcerned. Leaders must bear in mind that no one will forever live and that generations will judge them by their deeds, works and thoughts.
Our religious leaders are not helping matters. They have kept quiet about the brualities meted out to innocent people all in the name of political affiliation.
Our leaders take huge sums of money and allowances at the expense of the poor taxpayer, yet they are unable to protect us. We live in fear, pain and isolation. Ghana belong to all of us.
