[He called Bature \u2018Pepeni\u2019, a derogatory word for people from the northern Ghana. According to him, Alhaji Bature had cracked heels; body odour and foul month; and was \u201ca motherfucker,\u201d Bature, you are a fool, \u2018Jimini\u2019 like that. He doesn\u2019t know me. <\/p>\n
He is a band boy. \u201cKwasiea, mboasem kwasiakwa\u201d. I challenge, lets meet, I will first kill you\u201d. I will kill you first. A watchman\u2019s son.\u201d I will face you. If you\u2019re a man let\u2019s meet. Stupid fool\u201d.] Is this what democracy has brought Mother Ghana to?<\/p>\n
Yes, these were the exact words from a sitting Member of Parliament for Assin North, live on a radio station. The first question that I kept asking myself was, \u201chow was Hon. Kennedy Ohene Agyepong elected to parliament??? I then remembered an African saying, \u201cMONEY SWINE\u201d. I accorded him his title \u201cHONORABLE\u201d, because one of the first cardinal principles in the house of \u201cwatchmen\u201d is to teach their children how to respect both the young and old everywhere. But I think the son of a former justice of our beloved mother Ghana was not opportune enough to have. Don\u2019t get me wrong, my first paragraph was the last part of an altercation between Alhaji Bature (a journalist) Hon. Kennedy Gypping. Yes, Alh. Bature called him a \u201cDrug Baron\u201d, an unsubstantiated allegation at this moment. Not too long ago, the job of a watchman was for the \u201cpepeni\u201d, but it\u2019s become so lucrative that the like of Hon Agyepong and his irks have transformed the name to \u201cSECURITY GUARD\u201d, employing JSS and SSS graduates.<\/p>\n
I thought the best Hon. Agyepong, with his educational background and degree in civil engineering, would have done, was to go to the police or sue Alhaji Bature for \u201ccharacter assassination\u201d. He rather descended on an entire tribe \u201cpepeni\u201d, \u201cwatchman\u2019s son and \u2026 Unless there is an iota of truth from what the \u201cself proclaimed journalist\u201d Alh Bature, whom I would not spend a second of my time reading his newspaper, is saying. <\/p>\n
Why is Hon Agyepong running away from justice on the smearing and tarnishing of his hard earned reputation and wealth? Not long ago, the presidential candidate of his party, NPP, was preaching tribal politics (\u201cthey think we the Akans are\u2026.\u201d), TRIBALISM??? Then the NASARA CLUB of USA with the accusation that the President intentional snubbed the National Chief Imam from the ceremony of the Jubilee oil field, TRIBALISM??? Now Hon Kennedy Agyepong with the \u201cPEPENI, WATCHMAN\u2019S SON\u201d gong, gong, Tribalism again???? Oh no NPP, where is the message? While Ghanaians are suffering from the NDC petrol price hikes, all you could offer us was tribal politics.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not surprised that the man is walking scot-free on the street of the capital, after going on the airwaves threatening to kill. Parliament could not even censure him? The least said about the NDC government the better. How could the government of the day, which could not arrest its hooligans and hoodlums (FOOT-SOLDIERS), who go around stealing cars meant for auctions in Tamale, locking out DCEs & MCEs in broad day light, arrest a tribegoestic MP? <\/p>\n
Is President Mills that weak, as proclaimed by \u201cApostle Rawling\u201d, or is he learning from his immediate predecessor, ex-Pres. JAK, who could not caution the Hon MP when he threatened to kill ex-Pres. Rawlings and wipe out his entire family. Does Hon Agyepong deserve to be on the street threatening to kill anyone that crosses his part (ask the DCE in his constituency) or needs to be locked up in a psychiatric institution for an observation of overdose of \u201cadeanu\u201d ala Alh, Bature?<\/p>\n
Hon Agyepong must wake up from his slumber, because tribalism has no place in Ghana\u2019s political dispensation in the \u201cdigital era\u201d. Not long ago the vice-president of the nation from his own party was also \u201cPEPENI and a WATCHMAN\u201dS SON\u201d, did he possess the balls to say that in his face? Yes, Hon MP, our great grandfathers were watchmen, but guess what they did with the hard earned genuine money? They invested it in their children\u2019s education so that they will one day become presidents (Dr. Limann \u201cpepeni\u201d), vice-presidents (Alh. Aliu Mahama, John Mahama \u201cpepeni\u201d) ministers of states and members of council of state, professors &\u2026\u2026. But what did the likes of his highness justice Agyepong do with their hard earned wealth? Raised a \u201cDrug Baron\u201d, as being alleged? Is Hon Agyepong frustrated that the \u201cwatchmen\u2019s son can read and write, to the extent of becoming a seasoned journalist? I\u2019m just happy that you\u2019ve accepted one fact, you can\u2019t call the 21 century \u201cPEPENI\u201d a WATCHMAN, but a \u201cWATCHMAN\u2019S SON. You got it RIGHT Hon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
