“If not (Abro ne Bayie) witchcraft and greediness why should an outgoing government who has just lost an election make appointments after Dec 7” – Kessben FM’s Journalist, Piesie fires
Kessben TV’s political journalist, Akua Piesie, has voiced strong concerns over the actions of outgoing governments making job appointments after having lost an election. Piesie’s statements, which resonate with widespread frustrations from many citizens, challenge the morality and legality of such decisions, calling them not only harmful but also detrimental to the future of the nation.
Piesie’s critique focuses on the fundamental question: Why would a government that is on its way out, after losing a democratic election, continue to appoint people to key positions? According to the political journalist, the timing and nature of these appointments raise serious questions about the outgoing administration’s motivations.
“It can only be witchcraft and greediness,” Piesie remarked, highlighting the contradiction between the people’s clear vote for change and the actions of a government that has overstayed its welcome. This rhetoric emphasizes that the government’s actions are not only politically irresponsible but may also come across as an attempt to lock in loyalty or secure influence for future schemes.
While the mention of witchcraft in the context of politics might seem dramatic, Piesie uses this phrase as a metaphor to describe actions that defy reason and serve no practical purpose but to manipulate outcomes in favor of outgoing leaders. In Piesie’s view, such appointments after an election loss are seen as a desperate attempt to wield power, resulting in policies that benefit a select few, rather than the country at large.
Furthermore, the issue of greediness has come to the forefront in this conversation. The journalist argues that these post-election appointments represent the greed of politicians who are determined to secure power, wealth, and influence even when their mandates have expired. According to Piesie, the greed-driven appointments perpetuate a cycle where the best interests of the nation are forgotten, and political loyalty takes precedence over competence, fairness, and merit.
In the face of these concerns, Piesie calls for a more responsible approach to governance during election transitions. Outgoing governments should honor the will of the people, step aside gracefully, and leave the necessary administrative positions vacant until the new administration takes office. By refraining from making such appointments, the outgoing government would demonstrate respect for the democratic process and set a positive precedent for future transitions.
