HAVE YOUR SAY,I'LL HAVE MY WAY

HAVE YOUR SAY,

I’LL HAVE MY WAY

My fellow countrymen & women,

You have been demonstrating for God knows how long.

You have been calling me names in anger.

You call in to radio programmes and vent your spleen on me.

You express your frustrations on social and print media.

Day in, day out you form various pressure groups,

Anti-corruption & accountability fora to lash out at me.

Keep conducting painstaking investigations

To expose ‘corrupt’ officials in State institutions.

I commend them for their efforts.

My propaganda team will respond to them accordingly.

I’ll urge you to forget about qualifications and working experiences

Because party officials will occupy lucrative State positions.

The party comes first.

I know most decision that I take appear weird

But I humbly advice you not to waste your breath on that.

I campaigned with borrowed funds.

I distributed party paraphernalia & gifts during my campaigns,

And even gave some of you cash to vote me to power.

For your information,

I did not get those funds on a silver platter.

Politics is a major investment in this country.

People heavily invested in my campaigns.

No one invests in projects to make loses.

Even NGOs & churches expect returns on their investments.

Those who funded my campaigns ought to be rewarded.

The least I can do is to reward them with contracts.

Whether they properly carry them out or not,

They must be paid.

I’ll set up commissions to investigate corruption allegations.

But expect no sanctions against my men.

They’re reaping the fruits of their faithfulness to the party.

Forget about my round ministers in square ministries

For the party man deserves his post.

The party foot soldiers who fought for the party

And the numerous party communicators who lied to win power

Must occupy positions in government

To have a bite of the taxpayers’ cake.

You can demonstrate from January 1^st to December 31^st.

It’ll keep your bodies healthy anyway.

Journalists can ask all the useless questions

But my ministers won’t answer them

Because those journalists are not auditors.

Ghanaians also have very short memories.

You can make all the noise

But at the end of the day,

I am the government in power

And you’re the populace under my power.

You can have your say

But I’ll definitely have my way!
