DAILY HERITAGE WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 2020

ONCE again a new year has started
and individuals, families and
organisations as well have made
resolutions to better or improve their
lives and operations.
Every year many such resolutions
are made and some are achieved and
others not. Do we check what helped
to achieve some and why the rest
failed? Individuals, families and
organisations that make such analyses
would always make amends to achieve
growth and progress.
If we see making such resolutions as
something that should normally be
made because we are in a new year, we
would miss the essence of it. Such
resolutions should be all that we intend
to achieve in
Editorial
Avoid unbridled pronouncements in New Year
the year or part of the bigger picture
we intend to see.
They form our plan or part of the
plan for our individual lives and
organizational operations. It is
therefore important to ask questions
before putting such plans together.
Such resolutions should mostly be
human-centred, first and foremost. It
is also important that we amend some
of the resolutions to meet the dictates
of the day.
With this said, the DAILY
HERITAGE would like to appeal to
all to allow all their activities to be
guided by peace and tranquility
throughout the year. This is an election
year and even normal slips could be
misinterpreted or misrepresented by
political opponents.
It is therefore unfortunate that in its
nascent or very early days, some people
have started organizing seminars and
conferences at which they have
threatened to reject election results
when a new voters’ register is prepared
by the Electoral Commission. Are such
conferences avenues to discuss such
flammable issues?
We can organise imbizos, as the
South Africans would describe them,
only when the nitty-gritty about such
sensitive matters are known so that we
do not unduly incite the public to anger
and violence even before decisions
about such matters are concretised.
It is a great pity that some people in
our society, particularly politicians,
inflame passions about certain national
issues before discussions on them are
brought to a closure.
Ghanaians are changing fast and it
would not surprise some of us if
people act on our inciting
pronouncements and do the
unexpected.
If some of us have made it our new
year resolution to incite people against
others, we should rethink our position
and remember that even if we escape
the chaos or the doom we call for on
our dear country, we cannot escape the
blame and name-calling.
HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS
NEW YEAR!!!

THE JOSPONG

years to pay back the money but the
court declined to grant his wish.
He, however, refunded GH¢4 million
in November 2016 and promised
to pay the outstanding balance
by quarterly instalments of GH¢5
million, commencing April 1, 2017.
That did not materialise after the
businessman initiated a litany of
legal cases at the Supreme Court to
support his case, which were all dismissed.
Apart from fighting his
cases in the country, Mr Woyome
also sought relief from the International
Court of Arbitration of the
International Chamber of Commerce
(ICC) based in Paris, France
and the African Court of Justice
based in Arusha, Tanzania.
In August 2017, the ICC threw
out his case on the basis that he
failed to properly invoke its jurisdiction.
His case at the African Court
of Justice was also dismissed in
June, this year.
