YOUNG POSITIVIST WRITES.
WHAT NEXT AFTER THE EXPOSE`?
It is a fundamental duty expected of responsible Journalists to serve residents of a country with happenings within the country therein. Precisely, the role of journalist cannot be downplayed so far as effective democracy is concerned. Journalists in all jurisdiction undertake three distinctive role which are; Educating the citizens about government policies and other relevant issues, keeping them updated on current happenings and ultimately to entertain the public. On this note allow me space to add my voice to the ongoing contentious revelation by ace journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
To begin, many proponents have criticized the Journalist’s method claiming his approach is not the best. Well, this reaffirms the popular analogy of opinion likened to a nose. Obviously, these people have one. Nonetheless, my worry is simple and straight forward. What happens to the story at hand after the journalist reports? Unquestionably, the role of the journalist on such national issues has a peak thus imperative for the state and its institutions to continue.
Anas, over the years has been unrelenting in carrying out investigations in some key sectors within the country engulf in rot with the most prominent being the judicial service. In this video exposure, many senior judges in the judicial service of Ghana were seen trading their integrity for money, goats and sheep. Against this backdrop, H. E John Dramani Mahama (Former President) dismissed these Judges. Other corruption exposé scandals exposed were that of Drivers and Vehicle License Authority (DVLA), the Ghana police service, among others. Astonishingly, citizens are still oblivious with regards to why certain people featured in the revelation were not probed by the then government.
Sincerely, Anas’ tireless work becomes useless if the corresponding collaboration with state institutions is absent. Corruption is a rot and is eventually eating up Ghanaians. Its pops up its face in every single discussion within the country. Personally, I am always dazzled whenever I hear the word “evidence” just because someone engaged in corruption needs a justification to stop him from advancing further. It is a pitiful scene when we grow corruption in our various institutions only because one was denied reasoning by the mere existence of the so-called evidence even when we all see corrupt official taking bribes.
Anyway, this argument will be interesting because we have enough “evidence” to substantiate our case. The GFA president (former) once made the assertion that, if you have any evidence bring it and they will deal with it. Now there is enough evidence and so what next? What are we going to do to all those who were caught in the light of the camera engrossed in match fixing, bribe taking and others? What’s the fate of the referees, match commissioners, football administrators and all other people exposed in the documentary?
I strongly believed that Ghanaians are worthy than the fortune we are currently wallowing in. Indeed, facts proves no lie and all the woes we have seen in our football governance can solely be attributed to the rot engulfing football in the country. It is therefore no surprise as to why the Ghana Premier league had no sponsor for the past five (5) years. The reason being simple. No rational investor is willing to forgo his funds to profit just a few people in a corrupt centred industry.
To conclude, I implore the government to probe further into the expose' to its very end. All culprits who are guilty should be punished accordingly without any favoritism nor discrimination Furthermore, I call on the government to intercede in this serious matter to save the image of the country and the game of football notwithstanding the consequences that will arise. We are hopeful we will be able to repair all the wounds after the sanction. Meanwhile, let us help to bring out the relevance of the good work of Anas as well as his associates in the field of journalism in Ghana. Collectively, lets join hands and put to shame those corrupt officials as they prepare to be arranged before the court for proper prosecution. I am confident that we will all take a pinch from this filming and rid ourselves of all sorts of dishonest acts. The earlier we save this country form the shackles of corruption the better for us. The Criminal Investigation Department and the judicial body should quickly step forward and help us clamp down the menace of corruption. In fact, it is a collective responsibility thus a call for all. Ghana must work again. Ghana will work again. YOUNG POSITIVIST a concerned citizen of Ghana.
