The past week has been very revealing and interesting for all Ghanaians who care about the security and stability of our country.The abrupt sacking of the national scurity minister omn sturday appeared to be an inocuois act of the prsident excercising his executive power to hire and fire, but the snowballing effect has been absolutely staggering.
By monday word going around nd newspaper reports suggestd taht there was a huge spat between the president and the former minister with couter accusations of enormous graft and sleaze. The president was alleged to have accused Mr. Poku of acquiring a number of expensive mansion at Trassaco Valley , a posh and expensive high market area in East Accra whre prices start at $300,000. Mr. Poku did not take kindly to that assertion and shot back at the president and thretened to go publc and make known the currupt nature of the president.This infuriated the president who promptly and unceremoniously sacked him.
On tuesday a daughter of Francis Poku surfaced and claimed ownership of the house at Trassaco valley but it did not end the issue there. Speculation and conspiracy theories were rife. Most political commentators and Securty Analysts were of the agreement that the president could have handled the whole issue in a much better way.
On wendesday the almighty howler happened as we were all preparing to put the issue behind us, it was reported that the house of Mr. Poku was surrounded by a team of armed military and police personnel confirming the rumours that he was being bput under house arrest. This was apparenettly botched as a stream of journalists made thiar way into the house of Mr. Poku . This included Mr. Kwesi Pratt who gave a live update from the house on radio. Clearly the government the securoity forces could not enforce a controversial and politically motivated house arrest in the full glare of the media. The government's spokespersons explain that what was actiually going on in Mr. Francis Poku's house was a "normal debriefing excercise". well this explaination could only come from this goverment as they have shown time and again taht they have an unlimited perchant for lying to the nation.
This was not the end of the drama; tuesday
