In other words, Messrs. Mensah-Bonsu and Nitiwul are “knaves,” in the Shakespearean sense of the term. So I was not the least bit surprised to learn that the Parliamentary Majority Leader would put his weight and credibility behind such democratically regressive proposals as having Members of Parliament appoint constituency executives of the party. I mean, you would have thought that such a morbidly backward proposal would be coming from a delegates’ conference of the Rawlings-minted main opposition National Democratic Congress. As I have always noted, ad nauseam, the name of the “National Democratic Congress” has always eerily reminded me of the ironic name of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK). Well, I took a deep breath and measuredly and, wistfully, replied: “Not as long as Akufo-Addo rules the roost.”
