I often hear people say we have a long way to go. But, the truth is, we don’t even know where we are going, so how do we tell whether the way to our unknown destination is long or short? As a people, we have not collectively decided on where we are going. The NDC has a place in mind. Yes, the NPP too has another destination in mind, and I can bet the CPP and other parties too have places in mind. But, we can’t go to all these beautiful places at the same time. And, its unwise to start a journey to one destination and return towards another destination when there is a change in leadership. Waste of resources! So, you see, since we lack that unity of purpose and national cohesion, we would continue to have a situation where SSS, for instance, is changed to SHS and the duration changed to 4 years under one government and reversed under other administration; or, one party developing a youth policy only to be thrown away or changed by another party. Now, we haven’t decided on the destination, so, how could we determine which transportation system to employ? If we know the destination, then we could tell whether we need to go by air, land or water or a combination of some or all. Today, all the political parties are offering various transportation alternatives to NOWHERE, and the confused electorates who don’t know where they are been taken to, go voting to be taken to ANYWHERE. In fact, we have been here for a very long time. Instead of coming together to decide on a concrete destination and work out the mode of getting there in unison, all we’ve have done since independence is to fight ourselves so hard, killing the very dreams and aspirations in pursuit of which we fought for independence.
