With the passage of time and events unfolding systematically, I believe the good people of Jaman South in particular and Ghanaians in general have seen and heard it all for themselves and I believe can take a decisive stance come 7th December 2012. Osahene Boakye Djan shouldn�t think for one minute that the people of Jaman South and Ghanaians are gullible as he thinks and so he can have his way easily to parliament on the back of their vulnerability, NO WAY! That will not happen. Why is he always very evasive when asked certain sensitive questions? Can somebody tell him that the �Obey before complain principle� in the military (tergiversate attitude) is not applicable in the civilian world. Parliament is about debates, suggestions, comments, arguments, disagreements, voting among many others and not �I will not answer this question� kind of attitude that he operates, he should rethink and come again. Who made Boakye Djan a founding father of NDC? Can he be told by somebody that fatherhood is earned and not demanded. After he lambasted, chastised and castigated Rawlings and his NDC furiously and all the associated name calling, who was he expecting to nurture the party for him so later he will come and take the glory granted that he even was the founding father among the founding fathers? He can never reap where he hasn�t sown, it doesn�t work that way. Can Osahene be described as the most nauseating and cacophonic personality alive in Ghana politics today? The Ghanaian electorate is very discerning now unlike first when politicians could package anything and �SELL� to the electorate to win their sympathy which will in turn translate into votes, those days are gone for good. My humble plea to all �POLITICAL ANIMALS� is to stop the �Vomit today and eat it back tomorrow� attitude since that demeans them permanently. If the family of Osahene are somewhere in the world and are privilege to be computer literate and so can hear and read what he goes about gasconading attitude should call him to order before he loses the infinitesimal respect left for him because dignity is like a piece of glass, when it falls down and gets shattered, that will be all. The end is not very far so he should be advised sternly so he doesn�t quench the last live wire he has since he may not have an alternative live wire to depend on. A word to the wise person should be enough. There is this Akan saying that �YE SOMA OBA NYANSAFUO NA ENYE ANAMON TINTIN� which has a literal transliteration as �You send a sensible person and not a long legged person�.
