Since the very inception of Rawlings
dabbling in politics, he
discriminately targeted the Ashantis
for persecution. He selectively
presided over the physical
extermination of some prosperous
Ashantis and their businesses. What
informed his inherent malicious
hatred towards the Ashantis is only
best known to him, and his few
equally senseless cronies whom
inferiority complex moved to commit
heinous crimes bordering on
intended ethnic cleansing against
the Akans, especially, the Ashantis.
He has by unexplained reasons,
been able to pass on this legacy of
animosity towards the Ashantis to
his NDC party that he single-
handedly formed. How the NDC are
pursuing policies of discrimination
against, and ruinous or malevolent
hatred towards, the Ashantis, are
amazing.
Is it not by their same evil intentions
and purposes that they are holding
Mr Kwabena Kesse of Kesse Group
of Companies, an Ashanti, in
incarceration?
He is charged with the offences of
money laundering and forgery of
documents to facilitate his evil
intentions of siphoning money out of
Ghana to unknown destinations.
I do not support anyone, irrespective
of their tribes or nationalities, to
involve in the offences of which Mr
Kesse is charged. However, does he
not need hard foreign currencies to
run his businesses most of which
are import-oriented? Did he
dubiously avail himself of State
money as did Alfred Agbesi
Woyome? Did he try to cheat some
banks as did Ibrahim Mahama, alias
Pepeni No 1 and Tanii no. 2? I am
afraid not.
To proceed further, let us try to
understand what Money Laundering
is. What is money laundering?
'Money laundering means
exchanging money or assets that
were obtained criminally for money
or other assets that are 'clean'. The
clean money or assets don't have an
obvious link with any criminal
activity. Money laundering also
includes money that's used to fund
terrorism, however it's obtained'
By the definition, was the money
supposed to have been transferred
by Mr Kesse obtained criminally or
genuinely? Was it his own money
obtained through the successes of
his businesses or they were
obtained through armed robbery,
through the sale of class 'A' drugs
(cocaine etc.)? It must be proved
beyond reasonable doubt that Mr
Kesse did obtain the transferred
money criminally as did Alfred
Agbesi Woyome in the 'create, loot
and share' judgment debt payments
or through other such obnoxious
means.
Did he forge documents to avail
himself of the money similarly as
done by Alfred Agbesi Woyome?
Whose money was it in the first
place? Was it his companies' money
or the State's or some banks'? Has
anyone or any bank been moaning
and reporting that Mr Kesse has
stolen their money as Ghanaians
cried out against Woyome when he
duped the Ghanaian taxpayers
through the judgment debt
payments?
Whose money did Mr Kesse transfer
and who is reporting that their
money has gone missing from
Stanbic Bank? The case is
interesting. Has he transferred the
money to support terrorists
elsewhere in the world? The Court
should be very careful about the
charges they prefer against him.
I hope they are not doing this to him
because he is an Ashanti, my
compatriot? If this is their motive,
then they should be ready to face
the wise one from Kumawu in a
bitter contest. I shall not sleep on
the oars while some NDC rouges are
forcing the Ashanti ship aground. I
will defend the defenceless all of the
time, either my services are solicited
or unsolicited.
