Politics is supposed to be one of the noble vocations in which people are seen always striving hard to protecting and defending the interest of their respective countries passionately while making or implementing useful plans beneficial to the system in which they live. The impression the average politician send each time they open their mouths to talk is the fact that when they are not in power then government business must came to a stand still but are they the only people up to the task? It is becoming obvious that politicians are employing diversionary tactics especially some leading members of the National Democratic Congress party and the New Patriotic party which is nothing but a waist of tax payers resources preventing us from achieving the necessarydesires we all expect as a nation as far as development is concerned. There is no enough time at our disposer to always be dragging our feet here and there making the steering of affairs of this nation a hell on earth for any one in power. Without mincing words I want to state categorically that this piece is not about the National Democratic Congress nor the New Patriotic Party but any Ghanaian whose aim is to attain political power in this country with all the necessary means even if it means thwarting the developmental process of this country just to satisfy their meager myopic interests. It is very much important for all of us to note that the mills administration have been given a one term of four years mandate renewable for another term if Ghanaians are impress with what his government is doing hence the need for us to allow him and his team to deliver to us what they have to offer until 2012 when we enter the electioneering year to retain or elect a new leader. But what we are witnessing these days clearly point to the fact that what our politicians want is to always enrich themselves at the peril of the common Ghanaians whose interest they are supposed to safeguard. Politicians by congruent imaginations are equally expected to be middle men and women, spoke persons who are seen always toiling for the common good of the habitat in which they exist. Many a time one would want to know what at all there is in the corridor of power that these greedy politicians will always want to clinch to without letting go of. Could it be because of their comfort and self satisfying lavicious life styles that they have become addicted to making it hard for them to let go off? Our politicians must learn to appreciate that political power in Ghana is rising above diversionary tactics and propaganda to win power only for us to be exposed to excuses and blame games instead of delivering their promises but rather many eligible voters would want to be shown and proven to why they should be voted for or simply put ones track records as far as his or her political career is concern is becoming a fact file that one can not do without. If the adage� A child that says his mother will not sleep will also not sleep� is anything to go by then I want to believe that as long as one political orientation continues to obstruct the other from focusing on their task while in opposition or government, when the table turn then the other must equally expect to be treated so but the one million question is how long are we going to continue treating each other with kick gloves? The development of this country should go beyond our movement in circus monkey instead of aggravating the speed and passion with which they deliver what they promise the electorates. Until our politicians jerk above mediocrity and start to prove to all of us that they are not detractors but partners in development, the question continue to linger on whether our politicians are detractors?
