Today in history! The beginning of the worst human rights abuse ever to be unleashed on the long suffering people of Ghana. This is June 4th 1979 ! The execution of the Generals who weren't given a trail was the most dastardly act ever .
There were business tycoons who lost everything namely Boakye Mattress, kawus motors and RT Briscoe. These were local businesses, run by Ghanaians. GENERAL Acheampong had introduced the principle of promoting Ghanaian businesses - all businesses in Ghana should have 51 percent Ghanaian ownership.
If we had continued on that course we would have been just like Singapore 🇸🇬 or South Korea 🇰🇷
During the era of the Generals we produced cars namely Boafo and Adom . We made Tvs and radios 📻- Akasanoma.
And not to mention the host of factories and industries in Tema and North Kaneshie.
The above actions in 1979 ushered in a dark period in our history and the effects are still with us .
Never again
