KWASEA BI NTI

 

 In a recent suit won by the General Secretary of the NDC, Mr Johnson Asiedu Nketia popularly known as General Mosquito against The Daily Guide newspaper the gentleman in question was heard saying in an interview, that he would use the 250000 Ghana cedis he was awarded by the court as damages to build a house and name it "kwasea bi nti"....lol...how funny. 

The man General Mosquito can't talk without a pinch of controversy, can he? As I sat through the interview I couldn't hold back my laughter. The case was a two year old litigation over allegations by The Daily Guide that during the administration of His Excellency Prof Evans Attah Mills of blessed memory, Mr Asiedu Nketia used public funds to build a storey building somewhere in Kumasi. Funny enough the now realized to be false allegation had gained roots in the suburb where the said house was built to the extent that a popular Bus stop in the area has been named "General Mosquito Bus Stop". 

After a long battle in court the judge finally declared General Mosquito victor and when asked about what he would use the money he said;"I plan to now build a house of my own in the same area and name it "kwasea bi nti" to wit, kind courtesy a foolish person....lol such is the intensity of his sense of humor. 

 That said, I believe it is a wake up call to all of us especially our politicians and people in the media. The habit of perpetuating and peddling falsehood against others in the name of politics should stop. It is important we all learn from this, irrespective of ones political affiliation, such acts are ungodly and unprofessional.

Let us do well to shun from this just so one day we don't end up as the "kwasea" at whose expense somebody will build a house he never would have.
