Rebranding The Mysterious Road: The Route to Jail Break

The Ghana Flag

This week has been the most interesting week in Ghana. As we were treated to good humour by top government officials. No disrespect to my comedian pals, politicians are taking over the comedy industry. Where else can you get this, other than the country which recently moved to lie on the equator? So let's lay the issues on the table and try to dissect them. Where do I start from?

Rebranding!!! The most trending word in Ghana this week. So we woke up one morning to see the Electoral Commission of Ghana with a new badge they called a logo which wasn't bad looking at all for a State Agency led by a beautiful woman. 

Women are known to have eyes for beautiful things. But the applause or fans died down when some Anas somewhere Turkey posted similar looking logo with the same concept on social media. Such a disgrace it was but 'e be Ghana we dey' we commented on it and Mrs Charlotte Osei came out to explain why the rebranding and how much she loves it and even gave more highlight to the meaning of the logo.

Mrs. Charlotte Osei (Electoral Commissioner, Ghana)

Madam Commissioner, it's true the E.C needs rebranding but it's needed in improved infrastructure and electoral processes. Can't we do away with ballot boxes and concentrate on online voting so that no matter where one is at any point in the country, he or she can vote? Pope John's Senior High School started elections via e-voting as far as 2011. Universities in recent times have also picked up that and concept. So what on earth is a while state funded organisation waiting for?

That's what we call Rebranding and that's what you should be concentrating on and not the changing of Eagles who have outlived the number of years an eagle should live (even with that we could consider only if you replaced them with younger eagles).

Due to this rebranding issues, Dzifa Attivor had to resign and after the leaving the stage with high applause, she came back to spoil matters. When we had forgotten about this bus rebranding brouhaha and people congratulated her for resigning, she came back to confirm she had a hand in the dubious deal. So knowing what you did was wrong, why don't you lay low and let matters rest as they were.

Dzifa Attivor

Truth be told, I'm very disappointed you said it. But it only confirms the fact that the president is not dealing with corruption like he blows in his golden trumpet. Why should you be afraid to go to jail if you did the right thing? Or you want to say all Ewe ministers would go to jail? But Hon. Dzifa Gomashie is not afraid, she is the sweetest minister and muddy lived so I sincerely don't get your statement. 

You looted national coffers and should any party aside your party win elections, you'd need to be tried and jailed with other ministers. These are people the B.N.I should be picking up for investigation not someone who takes pictures of pickups being rebranded with party colours.

You got no fears though cos I heard the president has rebranded an imaginary road from Kukurantumi to Bole just in case you want to escape from prison. A road from Kukurantumi to Bole which is the same in distance and length and width not to talk of brands and curved as one road network in the Kangaroo Island of Australia. Like for real, Mr. President since when? You should leave the issue of rebranding and other lies for foot soldiers and your ministers. It is no doubt that we rebrand by stealing pictures and modifying them. A little contrast here,a little brightness there and were through to go.

So is this administration all about rebranding? You have projects you've completed, wonderful ones they are. Why don't you use those instead of copy, paste and polish. Your method of dubbing 'no dey be kraaaaa'. I shock give you. I don't know and probably must Ghanaians don't know where it is but if it's the road created for most ministers like Dzifa Attivor and Owusu-Ankrah to use as a prison escape route then you force waaaa

I just love how one rebranding has led to all sorts of rebranding in Ghana.
