The Minority Leader’s response after yesterday’s Mid-Year Budget Review is thought-provoking.
After the Finance Minister spent a significant part of his presentation detailing how public funds had been allocated and spent across priority areas, the Minority Leader suggested that the money the Minister spoke about had rather been shared among members of the governing party.
Is that not a serious allegation that implies misuse of public funds?
If that statement was backed by evidence, then Ghanaians deserve to see that evidence. But if it was merely a propaganda , then I ask:
Was the Minority Leader inadvertently revealing what he believes happens when his own party is in government? Because for such an allegation to come so naturally, you can’t help but wonder whether it reflects a mindset shaped by past experience.

@Morephyre@CoachOpeele That's the foolish narrative many of them who support Wontumi are pushing. They're completely not looking at the crimes he committed. These Ghanaians are so corrupt that it tells given the chance they won't do anything different.
The Wontumi issue is amazing how all the people around him could not advise him that he was doing too much
Unless he doesn't take advise. I can't watch his videos about Prez Mahama cos they are too distasteful
I hope he gets pardoned and comes back with lots of lessons learnt!
This is the height of unintelligence. Crimes are not prosecuted in the name of any individual regardless of their status, they're so prosecuted in the name and for the republic, because they're committed against the republic. Dr Bawumia is only a victim. Drop this dumbness.
At your age the ignorance you're displaying confirms that SA is indeed lagging behind. Heard of the Ghana Statistical Service @StatsGhana? Ghana isn't like SA that can't even identify it's institutions. If it were Ghana, our Aids Commission would have dealt with HIV long ago.
An Mp insulting the Head of State of another country? Says a lot about the HIV ridden SA. You got a lot to learn: that SA's democracy is not even comparable to GH's. If it were, you lot won't be voting one party since 94 and blame foreigners. You're just a grown fool.

@obiMpenaAustine The young should also spend time accessing and reading from the website on some of these institutions to know how they can seek such support schemes.
Don't support this. The law isn't for him to decide when it should apply & when not. That's the duty of law enforcement. Tomorrow, when he suffers a crime will it be in his bossom to decide what should happen? A Ghana that works is a Ghana that laws apply automatically.
@pazunre You misunderstood me on that. Was only drawing attention to the law, never lost on me that not all false publications can be prosecuted. I only think the community must know it to know the limits of their right to free speech.
@HeadlessYouTube But this is a bad analogy bro. Our elected leaders are not Kings and Queens. They are literal public *servants*. So why would you expect them to be treated as such?
I am not sure what they said about the public servants, so I cannot endorse it, but unless it is a death threat…
@pazunre Very good. Even the Electronic Communications Act also prohibits false publication. Confusing false publication with free speech is the problem.
I hope the Ghanaian journalists defending the arrest and prosecution of people for insulting the president and other politicians realise that the line between arresting TikTokers over insults and arresting journalists for harsh criticism of the powerful is very short.
