The accusation by an NPP Youth Activist that, Kwamena Ahwoi and President Mills are homosexual couple was really in bad taste but when you push a dog to the wall, it will finally bares its teeth. NDC has been accusing NPP flagbearer, Nana Akuffo Addo with every crime under the sun and their most popular one is the drug accusation but when Boama Otukonor, another NDC Communication man working for the Presidency accused Nana Addo Dankwa and Nana Akomea of being homosexual couple, a rubicon was crossed and decency was thrown to the dogs. The President and his minions cannot continue to indulge in politics of insults and wrap themselves in iron curtains to deflect the arsenals of insults from the other side of the political divide.
Kuma in response to Otukonor's accusation that Nana Akuffo Addo and Nana Akomea spend a lot of time together and therefore they are homosexuals also said that,since President Mills and Kwamena Ahwoi are also always in contact, can they also be said to be homosexuals and "VOILA" the Police were summoned and Kuma was thrown into the gulag.
All of a sudden our moralist President Atta Mills condemned “the spread of false information about political figures and the use of intemperate language” and wondered the kind of lessons adults were teaching the younger generation. Mr President please don,t pretend as if you are not aware of what is going on in Ghana under your watch. You have not set a good example for any adult in Ghana to follow regarding how they should teach their children, let's count how many of your 'children' are afflicted with the diarrhea of the mouth disease. Baba Jamal, your Jihadist deputy information minister has been in the business of insults and you have been aware of it, has he been warned to desist from such acts, Mr President?
Another 'child' of yours, also a deputy information minister in the person of Okudzeto Ablakwa is the most vile and disrespectful person in your administration who insults everybody including people old enough to be his grandfather but you have closed your eyes and stuffed your ears with cotton as if you don't hear his daily insults to your political opponents, why, Mr President?
What about Stan Dogbe the rapist, another insolent individual working at the castle as a Presidential Aide? What about Vanderpuije? He is also a Presidential Aide who has perfected insult into an art. What about Koku Anyidoho, your own Presidential Spokesman or communication Director whose knife of insults is soo sharp even former President Kuffour has been carved as a Thanskgiving turkey on his table. Mr President, do you hear the insults your appointees indulge in? If President Mills can have a talk with those mentioned and others like Koby Acheampong, Agyenim Boateng, Boama, Hana Bisiw, Ama Benyiwa Doe, Jacobs and most of the deputy Ministers in your administration to refrain from insulting others, that will be a good start.
President Mills, directing the Clergy to embark on this crusade to halt the politics of insults and the growing incidence of false prophets that had plagued the society in recent times without you setting an example by firing some of your wayward Presidential Aides and some deputy ministers will be an exercise in futility. Your words should be backed by some deeds from your office. Mr President, you cannot shirk your responsibility and ask the Clergy to do your job for you, they cannot dimsiss your Aides or your Ministers, you can.
Mr President when you indulge in Selective amnesia in what experts term the utterances of our president on the issue of insults in our politics by behaving like "See no evil, hear no evil" when insults are directed at your opponents, then you come across as a hypocrite. Saying that you eschew politics of insults when the hawks and your foot soldiers are doing it is not very responsible on your part.Charity, they say begins at home and President Mill should call his troops to order and set an example by dismissing anybody in his administration who indulges in it. Saying you eschew politics of insults when your appointees are doing it daily without any punishment sends a wrong mesage. Let your deeds reflect your pious pontifications.
These insults have emanated largely from the NDC’s camp and unfortunately for us we have a President who rewards people who insult and the more insult you heap on the NPP the better your chances of being rewarded, so we have people who have been made deputy Ministers in his administration who are insulting people day and night. Nana Akuffo Addo and President Kuffour have been the objects of ridicule and insult from members of the NDC but nobody from the NDC for that matter has called any of the castigators to book.
President Mills is turning or allowing his controllers to turn Ghana into a Police state. Why did the Police arrest this Kuma guy and allow Boamah Otukonor who initiated the homosexual accusations to go scotfree? Is it right for NDC paid political assasins to insult the leaders of other Parties but woe unto anybody who dares to respond in kind. When did insult become a crime? While insult is morally wrong, it is not a criminal act and the President did the right thing by calling the Police to release the Kuma guy. This government is turning into a kakistocracy.
If anybody believes he or she is slandered, the right course of action is to sue for damages as Kwamena Ahwoi is doing but he is opening a can of worms because when this case finally comes up for hearing, Agya Atta the President can be called as a Witness in a homosexual trial, that Folks will be a spectakle of an event I am willing to pay a pretty penny to be amongst the court audience.
Now Kwamena Ahwoi knows how it feels to be insulted. He better get a big sack mounted on his leg to pee in because he is going to hear the letters that makes him want to pee. The letters N.P.P is going to be mentioned a lot and Kwamena Ahwoi better have a lot of bags to piss in. Anyway, Mr Ahwoi, why ten million Ghana Cedis($6.7M) and not 100 million cedis($67M)? 'Go for broke, Mr Ahwoi'
