FixTheCuntry convener, Oliver Barker-Vormawor is advocating the impeachment of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for the ‘abuse of Evelyn Aidoo but commonly known as Ma’Adzepabi Serwaa-Broni.’
According to him, the fact that the President used national security operatives to stage an armed robbery attempt on this woman for the purpose of retrieving his naked pictures and video and yet the mainstream Ghanaian media has refused to pick up the story is quite worrying.
Serwaa Broni and the attack on her, he said, is Ghana’s Monica Lewinsky moment and its Watergate scandal.
In a write-up, Barker-Vormawor expressed worry that Serwa Broni has not received any protection since she made her damaging disclosure of a relationship with President Akufo-Addo.
He said, “We have normalized abuse against women. Even at the highest level; an issue which should get all of us greatly outraged, everyone has turned their eyes elsewhere!”
“The minority in Parliament just wants the sensational value. They want her to release the naked pictures so they can use it for campaign. They have the power to call for and obtain a Committee of Inquiry in Parliament. They have the power to initiate impeachment proceedings against the President,” he added.
He lamented no one seems sufficiently outraged about the real issues of abuse of state power to harass and torture persons the President feel are threatening his authority.
He argued the pattern is clear especially when Evelyn has said there are several other ladies who have reached out to her and who are waiting in the wings to tell their story.
“Why are we silent? Why are we going about typing #LeaveToLive and #MeToo and #TimesUp when stories from other countries pop up; yet our own citizens get none of your outrages!”
“You only want news of the common labourer who beats his wife so you can show your feminism? You want stories of a nobody saying his wife belongs in the kitchen to get worked up,” he quizzed?
“We are before strong systems of how power and structure impact women and devalue their agony. You are quiet,” he added.
According to Barker-Vormawor, abuse of public power cannot be allowed to be settled privately in view of information that the President is negotiating with Serwaa Broni to privately settle the matter.
He warned that Ghana’s democracy will suffer for it and if impunity is allowed to reign and the fourth republic to become a democracy of impunity, “Then I will spend my entire life praying for a coup d’etat because enough is enough,” he added.
