I chanced on a surprising news which got me
thinking. And I know you might be as well.
Are you aware that Essien has been banned from
playing in the Indonesian league?
Well, hear this: Micheal Essien who is well known
for playing with Chelsea, AC Millan, Real Madrid and Panathinakos was nearly given
a fine of up to 30,000 euros and five years’ imprisonment for not having a work
permit in Indonesia .
Luckily for him, he has only been banned from
playing in Indonesia until he has acquired the necessary documents even though he
is the highest paid player in Indonesia.
Well, that’s how the law should work.
Now let’s look at this, can this really work here in
Ghana?
Before you answer this, look around, how many
illegal Chinese miners have you heard of or probably seen working freely in Ghana?
What about other foreigners coming in with fake
commodities but are rather making it big?
I believe Essien or even his management could have
paid their way out of this situation.
But no! You can’t do this in a country
where laws work and the institutions are strong. Not even with money or fame.
Such is what we hope to see in Ghana.
