The Wise Bird has been following the activities in all the political parties in the country.
Some parties are now in coma and are only waiting for political activities to wake-up; others are completely dead.
However, Bra Parrot’s focus is on the Main Opposition the All People’s Congress (APC) party on its weaknesses to articulate issues of national interest.
From the look of things, APC is the weakest opposition in the history of this country; say what you may.
Thank God the Wise Bird, doesn’t have voting right and so the people might not link him to any political party but only that the Wise Bird always calls things by their correct names and at the right time.
Make no mistake, the political dispensation in the country is not as good as some people have passive it to be, especially with the two main political parties, the APC and the SLPP.
However, the Wise Bird is of the view that, the party in power always has an edge over the opposition simply because they are in control of everything in the country including in control of the police, the Army and even Civil Societies.
In the same token, if there is a formidable opposition to put the sitting government on their toes, this will go down in the history books.
But from the look of things, the APC cannot be considered as a formidable opposition because of the infighting of the party for positions, especially in the area of Flag-bearer’s position, and team A and team B that were established to disadvantage one particular candidate in the party as against the other, and verse versa.
The APC, as a party if, and if only they’re serious, they have a lot of issues to talk on.
But because of the division in the party, lips are closed.
Take for instance; the Toll-gate issue, Waka Fine (so-called government buses and its price); the light situation in the country and many more.
The APC have all the cases at their disposal but because of the disunity in the party, everybody is fighting for position using the party’s constitution to disadvantage other people.
The Wise Bird could vividly recall the days of the SLPP in opposition; at that time, Lahai Lawrence Leema was all over the place talking about reckless spending on the side of APC at the time; JJ Saffa was so mouth-sweet on his bread and butter issue.
The Wise Bird is upset when he got the news that, Members of Parliament of the APC will be holding press conferences, why now?
The Wise Bird is not making a case for anybody or group of individuals to capitalize on, only that he calls things by their proper and correct names.
