NDC

Your honor….

What an awesome week! For me, there were lots of great, fun moments this week and I’m sure most people had equal or even better experiences. However, the funniest moment (and I’m sure all my Ghana people will agree with me) was Sammy Awuku’s appearance in court.
Sammy Awuku is a member of the opposition NPP who went on air to make certain statements that the Supreme Court found contemptuous. True, there were even worse statements made by members of the NDC (and I pray they all get punished), however his was the only statement that was aimed at the judges and was truly contemptuous. Looking at the man standing before the judge in court, it was hard to recognise him as the same person who talks on radio with so much vim and vigour.

We don’t see the same things

For those who don’t know, we had an election in Ghana last year and members of the main opposition party went to court to challenge the results of the election. The case is now in court and is telecast live on all the major stations (dark days for TV addicts). It’s interesting to hear people’s opinions about the case so far; which leads me to ask, are we all watching the same thing?

Ex Gratia

Last week, the government thought it wise to pay the ex gratia of former ministers instead of addressing similar concerns of teachers and lecturers who had gone on strike for weeks. This i felt was very insensitive considering the fact thatJunior High School students were preparing for their BECE. However, one member of the main opposition actually defended the government over this action which I felt was very hypocritical. I assume the reason he did this was simply because he was among the former ministers to be paid. I strongly believe the government has got it’s priorities wrong. God save Ghana.
