The Paediatric society of Ghana just wrote the most devastating letter of this administration.
They called galamsey:
"A crime against present humanity." "A heinous crime against humanity yet unborn."

they're not activists. Not opposition politicians.
Ghana's own CHILDREN'S DOCTORS are writing to the President. On Earth Day from Korle Bu.
Mr. President, when will you respond?

We have a habit in this country of excusing the sins of the past when analyzing later failures.

The person who lit a fire in a bush, the person who came and met the fire while it was still small and poured petrol on it, and the fire-fighter who comes to meet the entire forest ablaze and struggles for days to quench the inferno cannot all bear the same level of responsibility.

Certainly, it’s not unreasonable to tell the fire-fighter “It’s your job man, you gotta figure it out”, because the truth is one, and it cannot be unreasonable to tell the truth…

…but it’s also not unreasonable for the fire-fighter to say in return, “If that nigga had not poured fuel onto the fire and converted a small fire into an inferno, it wouldn’t be taking me this long.”

And yes, this is as much about the galamsey fight as it is about the impact of Dr. Nkrumah’s failings on successive governments, but let’s focus on Nkrumah.

To the best of my knowledge, this is what happened.

The West who had graciously offered their assistance in removing Nkrumah turned a blind eye as Busia & J.H Mensah begged and begged for a moratorium on debt repayments.

With cocoa revenues falling and forex hard to come by, Busia was forced to devalue our currency, freeze public sector wages amid rising inflation, implement IMF-backed austerity measures and kick foreigners out in a bid to curb unemployment.

It would be so dishonest for anyone to gloss over the fact that the major causes of this were the debts which Nkrumah had accumulated and the fact that we weren’t getting as much from cocoa to service those debts.

The literature is clear: Ghanaians may tolerate human rights abuses and corruption, but we will absolutely not tolerate a sharp increase in cost of living. No chance. The solutions implemented to solve the mess left behind by Nkrumah were the major reasons for Busia’s removal by General Acheampong.

As Acheampong comes in, he knows that Busia’s hand was forced by the accumulated debt, so he tells the West, “Fuck it, we won’t pay”. Refusing to pay our external debts meant that no one was giving us any more money, which in turn meant there was a shortage of forex with which to buy day-to-day imported items like soap and milk.

The military administration tried to address the problem by restricting access to cash and forex. You had to queue for hours to get your money out of the bank, and it was hard to get foreign currency unless you had an import license.

The military top brass insulated themselves and their cronies from the problem by reserving import licenses for their cronies and their alleged girlfriends. In typical Ghanaian profiteering style, these cronies and alleged girlfriends would hoard the imported goods to create artificial shortages and hike prices. So while the rest of the country struggled, they prospered indeed, and with that prosperity came a lot of anger and resentment.

Given the hardships of the times, the reputation of the military had sunk to an all time low. Oral accounts from a few OGs I’ve spoken to indicate that because the ordinary people did not have access to the military top brass, they would often take their frustrations out on the junior officers, who themselves were very poor and unable to access everyday items like everyone.

And so you can imagine the resentment the junior ranks felt against the senior officers. These were the circumstances that led to the rise of a certain J.J. Rawlings and the events of June 4 1979.

And I’ll concede that history does not run in a straight line, and we cannot excuse everybody but you absolutely cannot discount the impact Nkrumah’s failings had on the trajectory of this country.

I feel like it’s so easy to say Nkrumah did so well and the others failed, but the truth is Nkrumah is the only one who inherited a truly prosperous Ghana. Everyone else had to make do with what they got and what most governments had to work with wasn’t great, and it all started with Nkrumah.

It seems lessons were not learned from the Larabanga Mosque collapse which was due to replacing traditional mud plaster with cement. Cement is waterproof and traps moisture in the mud walls causing wood beams to rot & enticing termites to enter. Bole was using cement plaster.
