The Battle Lines Have Been Drawn...We Are Ready For War - Owusu Bempah To Valerie Sawyer

Valerie Sawyer’s recent comment that the Akufo-led government is corrupt to the core is quite interesting. Was I really reading the above from one of the former deputy chief of staff? Or was I dreaming about an imaginary politician who has nothing of substantive value to say, yet chose to say something, anyhow, because she feels like writing? Is Dr. Valerie Sawyer’s self-centered statement a cursory insight into John Mahama’s acclaimed corruption regime? My questions are endless and I need unscripted answers from Valerie Sawyer.

Truth is, these comments must not be taken lightly. It is one of the many sad episodes in Ghanaian politics. In twenty-first century democratic Ghanaian politics, some of our politicians have the habit of intellectualizing idiocy. They speak ill of commonsense where their nascent ideas are laid bare in the face, and their intellectuality questioned. This was the same politician who once served as both deputy chief of staff and board member of the Ghana Gas Ltd - where her hands were soiled in high profile corruption cases. Talk of the Quantum and Sage cases which are currently under investigations with millions of tax payer's money going down the drain, and yet she has the gut to talk about corruption?

Where was Valerie Sawyer’s conscience when she made this bizarre remark?
How can a person who smells corruption be talking about corruption?

Am I am truly hearing this comment coming from Dr Valerie Sawyer, the politician, who once thought that she has the right to be NDC just because Prof Mills thought it wise to pay back her father's benevolence by way of appointment to the high office of deputy chief of staff?

Is this the same “scholar” who once argued that Rawlings is a noise maker? A non NDC card holding member who got rewarded for high political office because of her father's Kuku Hill gift to Prof Mills? (a property she has since collected back from the party people) Someone who is not NDC but metamorphosed into one simply because of her sickening heights of “corrupt” character?

Interestingly, Valerie insults the same Rawlings who nurtured and made her father worthy of bearing the title of father aside the coital engagement that biologically begat her.

What has been Valerie Sawyer's contribution to the Rawlings party aside helping Mahama to loot dry the national coffers?

Well, if not for Mahama's benevolent waist, how on earth would a character like Valerie be appointed as Senior Policy Advisor to any government, and feel so powerful in Rawlings' NDC?

Funny how Valerie thinks she loves the NDC more than even the founder. No wonder Martin Amidu described her thoughts as “incoherent, disjointed and drunken-like”.

Valerie Sawyer must be told in plain language that unlike the government under which she served as Deputy Chief of Staff; President Akufo Addo’s government is a sacrosanct one. With every passing day, there is a conscious, selfless attempt to roll out policies and interventions geared at lowering the cost of doing business and improving the living conditions of the people.

If it is the dream of the likes of Valerie Sawyer to spew and cash in on the useless allegations of corruption on President Akufo-Addo’s government, then there is no need for anyone to struggle to know why she performed abysmally as Deputy Chief of staff, Policy Advisor and Board member of Ghana Gas.

I Ernest Kofi Owusu Bempah am a Rawlings loyalist and an Akufo-Addo supporter, and I am serving notice to Valerie Sawyer that the battle lines have been drawn and we are ready for war.

I shall be back
