This is not applause, It is a mirror- Franklin Cudjoe

Dear Majority (NDC),

This is not applause. It is a mirror.

And in it, we are asking one thing: Are you watching what you have become?

You are no longer the underdog. You are the state. You hold 184 seats. You have the Presidency. You have the Speaker. You rode the moral wind that ejected your rivals.

But do you have clarity, discipline, and the courage to match the moment?

From where we sit, the answer is not obvious.

The applause of Ghanaians in 2024 was not anointing. It was exhaustion. We did not vote for perfection. We voted to punish betrayal. We did not embrace you out of love. We handed you a second chance, with a loaded mandate and a heavier burden called public trust.

Operation Recover All Loot—ORAL—was introduced as a moral and legal reckoning. A nationwide effort to trace, prosecute, and retrieve stolen funds. But what started with thunder now limps forward.

You do not need new laws to fight corruption. You need institutional courage. Investigate lawfully. Prosecute transparently. Recover assets and publish judgments, not accusations. While at it, look within. Prevent abuse before it metastasizes.

Have you been to the Tema ports lately?

Smuggling is obvious. Kickbacks are loud. Goro boys still run rackets in daylight. Meanwhile, those entrusted to fix it seem absent, compromised, or clueless. Fix the port or lose the plot.

Where is the digital economy you promised in your 2024 manifesto? You announced a three-billion-dollar digital jobs plan and a tech-driven Ghana. So where is the infrastructure to match that ambition?

We do not need more declarations. We need e-governance, open data, and real-time scorecards. Where is the “What We Met vs What We Are Doing” portal?

If you truly want to build a legacy, do it in plain sight. Ghana needs a single digital platform that connects public services, budget tracking, and district performance in one transparent, citizen-facing system. People should be able to see what was promised, funded, and delivered—anywhere in the country.

Imagine logging in: “Welcome, Citizen. Here is your civic hub.” From there, access dashboards, file petitions, report issues, track spending, monitor Parliament and the Judiciary, and rate institutions. Use directories, whistleblower tools, and an AI-powered CitizenDesk for live updates and official assistance.

No more symbolic launches or abandoned portals. We need receipts, not rhetoric. Legacy is built through visibility, public participation, and results the people can verify.

And then there is galamsey.

If you cannot stop armed plunderers from turning rivers into poison and forests into graveyards, how will you stop insurgents at our borders?

Galamsey is not just illegal mining. It is economic sabotage. It is eco-terrorism. It is treason. While Executive Instrument 144 was a start, enforcement has been weak. What is needed now is decisive action.

If you will not act, you are signaling complicity. And if the state is complicit, it forfeits its moral right to govern.

Anti-corruption efforts must not end with the opposition. They must reach all who hold public trust, including traditional authorities. No one is above scrutiny.

Despite the Land Act, Act 1036, landguardism continues to terrorize citizens, often flowing from chieftaincy disputes or palace complicity.

Go to Gomoa Fetteh and see for yourself.

Palaces have become command centers for land seizures. Chiefs act as shadow developers. Gangs terrorize rightful owners. This is not tradition. It is lawlessness.

Stool lands are not private property.

They are held in trust under Articles 36(8) and 267 of the Constitution. They fall under the oversight of the Lands Commission, the Office of the Special Prosecutor, the Economic and Organised Crime Office, and, when necessary, the Auditor-General.

If ministers can be audited, so can chiefs.

Ghana needs a Chieftaincy Accountability Act—not to undermine custom, but to protect the people’s trust.

No crown is holy if it protects crime.

No tradition is sacred if it shields theft. Fix the Bawku crisis. Fix it now.

Why does Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital still not have a functioning cath lab? Dr. Adu Ofori died in public view, in pain, and preventably.

What are you waiting for? A national scandal?

If a leading cardiologist in Kumasi can die from lack of a facility and Parliament does nothing, then no one is safe. No excuse is acceptable.

Meanwhile, Dumsor still lingers. The lights flicker. The silence deepens. Fix it. No more alibis.

And then came Ablekuma North. Some appointees laughed when Hawa Koomson was assaulted. It must be said plainly. Ghana is not a jungle. We are a Republic governed by law—not by vendettas or vigilantes.

If the same thuggery shows up in Akwatia or any other by-election, it will not just stain your record. It will trigger your downfall.

You are the Majority. But your margin of error is zero.

Do not become the NPP in reverse.

Do not mistake your mandate for immunity.

Use data. Use law. Use urgency.

Fix the ports. Fix the hospitals. Fix the chieftaincy rot. Reclaim the rivers. Restore governance.

Make ORAL citizen-accessible, digital, transparent, and fearless.

Because if Ghanaians see that you are bluffing,

We will not just vote.

We will resist.

We will revolt.

We will rewrite you out, just like we did the last arrogant regime.
