Ace Anan Ankomah, a major figure of the pressure group OccupyGhana and a private attorney, has stated emphatically that things are not properly done in the country and for that matter makes him give up on the country each day.
Speaking in an interview with Samuel Attah-Mensah for footprints on Citi TV, Ace Ankomah stated that he is always agitated by issues hurting the nation, which motivates him to work on advocacy and social change projects.
“I have always stated my views, I have neither been shy to say what I think. I’m no shrinking violet, I don’t pull punches, and I don’t suffer foolishness gladly. I see a country that has so much, yet so little. It’s a painful thing to look at Ghana.”
“Ghana irritates me very much. Every day, I give up on Ghana, and the next day, I’m back, still trying to see if we can make Ghana well. Every day I say let’s just give up, but sometimes I feel like let’s just forget it. It happens to me and I will say today I won’t bother myself with Ghana, in two hours I’m back writing something about Ghana, because this is Ghana”.
The outspoken attorney, who is also the managing partner of the law company Bentsi-Enchill, Letsa, and Ankomah, revealed that he has now reined in his opinions in order to discipline himself.
“I can understand those who do not want to speak, it comes at a cost because everybody out there thinks they can insult you because you speak your mind. People say, why don’t you speak too much of late? I said I grew up and decided to discipline myself. You know me, I can pick a fight in an empty room, I don’t fear engaging in a fight with anyone. I can’t pull punches, so the best way to discipline myself is not to get involved at the human advocacy level. But I will do what l can through OccupyGhana,” he noted.
