Columnist: Sarpong, Justice
Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, the NPP Parliamentarian from Assin Central accused the Electoral Commissioner(EC) of trading sexual favors for her position which has made a lot of people angry and rightly so.
I and a lot of Egalitarians would rather have preferred Mrs Charlotte Osei to sue Mr Agyapong since that accusation was directed personally at her and not all women.
Mrs Charlotte Osei and her husband should defend her dignity by taking Kennedy Agyapong on; who has promised to reveal more if she dares him, let the truth come out. The only way to silence Kennedy Agyapong is when he starts hurting financially and this is an opportunity to hurt him.
Kennedy Agyapong did not 'invent' or conjure this belief in our society and the world-that some women trade sexual favors for positions and financial gains; its real and we should not behave like it does not exist..
'FA WOTO BE GYE GOLF' during Acheampong regime was real. Trading of sexual favors for positions and good grades at our Universities and High schools are real. Even the 2012 Elections had its own University girls getting Hyundai cars for whatever they did for the Mahama campaign.
The condemnation from some people and other groups on this issue are genuine, but those coming from Mrs Hannah Tetteh, Mrs Oye Lithur, Mrs Mould Iddrisu and those NDC women groups are hypocritical and only for political expediency.
I have had enough of this NDC hypocrisy.
Charlotte Osei has been defamed if what Kennedy Agyapong said about her is not true; let her sue him for defamation of character and demand large financial benefit from him that will teach him a lesson not to open his mouth and just say anything that comes to his mind. It'll also serve as a deterrent from others.
The hypocrisy of NDC, especially their women, demanding the 'lynching' of Kennedy Agyapong is hypocritical.
When Halidu of NDC said any woman above the age of 30 who is not married is a prostitute, what did these women who played possum then say about that insult to women?
Kennedy Agyapong insulted only Charlotte Osei and not all women but these 'yahoo' women are playing politics with the issue. Where were their outrage when their darling boy Halidu called women above the age of 30 and not married as prostitutes?
Where were these women outrage when their NDC people accused President Kufuor of making Justice Georgina Wood the Chief Justice because she was her boyfriend or traded sexual favours for that position?
Where were these NDC hypocrites women outrage when NDC accused President Kufuor for bestowing national honor on Gifty Anti because she was President Kufuor's girlfriend?
Where were these NDC loudmouth women outrage when President Kufuor's name was dragged through the mud for haven twins with a Palestinian woman? The same NDC people now crying more than a bereaved family went as far as New York, USA; booked a conference room at Astoria Hotel and scheduled a news conference where they were going to show the world President Kufuor alleged twins with their mother.
At the scheduled time, the conference was cancelled because the alleged President Kufuor girlfriend and her supposed twins did not show up.
Where were these NDC fat women when Nii Lante Vanderpuije, the present Sports Minister and his thugs attacked Ms Ursula Owusu and beat her to a pulp because she has come to his constituency to campaign for NPP candidate.
The act has just started and these fat NDC women are already singing. These women are not outraged because their womanhood has been insulted, these fatsos are making noises for political advantage.
Mrs Charlotte Osei, going by her curriculum Vitae alone can be said to be- maybe the most qualified of all those who have held that position in Ghana, but she has so far shown that, she favors NDC and can't even do it in a respectable way.
The NDC itself has become the mouthpiece of the Electoral Commission-including the President himself, and that is not good for our nascent democracy.
CARDINAL of TRUTH
