The Killer Instinct In Dr. Frankenstein Kwabena Adjei

The Killer Instinct In Dr. Frankenstein Kwabena Adjei
01.09.2010 LISTEN

“FINALLY, I must quickly put it on record that in view of what is happening in this country, particularly the threat of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Chairman, I do not feel safe at all in handling this case. 

I will not take anything for granted because this country has a history.  In the circumstances, I will invoke Section 104 of the Court's Act, 1993, Act 499 and crave the indulgence of Her Ladyship, the Chief Justice, in all humility and with the greatest respect, to transfer this case from this court”.  -  Anthony Oppong, Justice of the High Court.

I don't know how Dr. Kwabena Adjei, the National Chairman of the ruling NDC is feeling now.  I simply can't fathom what moved him to make those unfortunate, obscene, repugnant and ungentlemanly statements. 

I know him to be a chain smoker of cigarettes but surely, I do not know whether he smokes or sniffs any other stuff which could stimulate him to spew out such effusions. 

Such apocalyptic and moronic statements could only come from men who live in the Stone Age era.  I am really filled with emotion and ashamed of this chain-smoker, and my heart bleeds for these poor judges whose lives are undoubtedly in extreme danger. 

If a verbal terrorist like Dr. Kwabena Adjei is left to be on the prowl, we are doomed forever. Undoubtedly, this man is suffering from verbal diarrhoea.

The consolation is that those who practice extremism in politics sow the seeds of their own destruction. 

As for the judges in this country, they should have courage because courage is being afraid, but then doing what you have to do anyway. 

It took the blood and sweat of our forefathers to bring this country this far and as such, they should soldier on despite the threat.

Yes, there are many ways of killing a cat and I know a few.  You can stuff the nose of a cat with gunpowder and kill it.  Put a cat into a sack, hit the head against a wall and it will die instantly.

Another way to kill a cat is to put the cat, which is in the bag, inside a pan or barrel full of water and it will suffocate to death.  If you want to kill a cat in a barbaric way, use a club to hit the head. 

Yet, another way of sending 'Joseph' to the world beyond is to hold both fore and hind legs, and stretch them until 'Joe' is dead. 

The rest of the ways can only be described by this killjoy called Kwabena Cat, the Nkonya-born accomplished expert methodologist of 'cat murder.'

All too soon, the season of overindulgence is upon us and common sense has been cast aside.  Kwabena Adjei must go on his knees and pray unceasingly to God.

If he is unfortunate and any judge in this country dies through a motor accident, an attack by an armed robber, dies in his sleep, hangs himself or dies mysteriously, people will say such deaths are some of the ways 'to kill a cat'.  Kwabena Adjei's name will surely be tied to such a calamity.

We do not have to wait for a judge to be killed before we rise up to defend the rest. I, therefore, exhort the good people of this country to rise against this yesterday's man. 

We must call his bluff and take him on seriously in whatever way we can  before he chooses one out of the 'many ways of killing a cat' to administer on the judges who are doing their legitimate duties as custodians of the laws of the land. 

I know by calling on the good people of this country to rise up against Kwabena Adjei, some legalistic purists in the NDC may interpret this proposal as a way to incite the people to deal with this blood-thirsty man.  If indeed it is, so be it.

 Sometimes, one is forced to believe that some of our politicians take in whisky before they open their mouths.  How can a whole National Chairman of a ruling party foul the atmosphere like the way this chain smoker did?

Is this beneficiary of the Rawlings' revolution aware that in this global village, statements like those he made could drive away potential investors?

… And the madness in the stomach of Asiedu Nketia
Before we could disentangle ourselves from Kwabena Meow's absurdity, a certain palmwine-tapper-turned-politician took the Kumasi lawyers who had gone on strike to show solidarity to the judges to the cleaners.

Speaking to Classic FM in Techiman, Mr. Asiedu Nketia said what Kwabena Adjei said was a collective decision of the NDC. 

He said if Kwabena Adjei had not made the statement, he would have made the same statement because they all met to decide what he should say at the said press conference. 

In his view, lawyers in the country are useless and only live on litigations.  He further asked the striking lawyers to go to hell if they liked because the NDC will not waver under any pressure. 

This man was speaking so furiously against the lawyers of this country that one was at a loss as to whether he knows that the president, who made him what he is today, is a law professor. 

The Attorney General and her deputy are crack lawyers and so we begin to think whether they too live on litigations.

At his age and social status, he seemed not to understand the work of lawyers. People like this skinny General Secretary should be whipped into line or thrown into the dustbin of history.

Now, let us look at this issue this way.  The ruling government took some people to court for some wrong doings. 

The state lost all the cases and the foot-soldiers of the ruling party threatened to deal with the Attorney General.  They extended their threat to the judges of this country. 

Then the Big Voice spoke.  “We will purge the judiciary”.  “We will clean the judiciary”.  “There are many ways of killing a cat”. 

These words, all came out of the mouth of the cigarette puffing chairman of the NDC, Dr. Kwabena Adjei.  Then a presidential staffer in the person of Nii Lantey Vanderpuye told us that president Mills supports Kwabena Adjei. 

And then hell broke lose.  In the face of all these noises, the president was cooling off in the U.S.  He had access to the internet where all these stories were published but he said nothing. 

The Vice President, John Mahama, was in the country when Dr. Meow made the statement but he too kept silent over the whole issue. 

Not a single NDC parliamentarian condemned the unfortunate statement.  They all seemed to fear this Nkonya man who once served a bloody revolution in God's country. 

As for Mr. Rawlings, he has no moral right to condemn the statement so he chose silence as a weapon. It was during his time as Head of State that three High Court judges were gruesomely murdered. 

What then do you think he will have to say, except to support his co-conspirator?  Birds of the same feather flock together, so says the sages.

Enter President Mills to the shores of Ghana.  Answering a question on the Kwabena Adjei's nonsense, the president told journalists who met him at the airport that he did not support Kwabena Adjei.  He went on to assure the good people of this country that he will do nothing to purge the judges. 

According to Egya Fariyi Kwaegya, judges should go about their duties without fear whatsoever.  So now, who should we believe in? 

The good old professor chose one out of three ways of dealing with the situation that he found himself in following Kwabena Adjei's vituperations.

There are other two ways of dealing with this news.  Firstly, you fully support what your party's chairman said, defend it to the brim and risk being lampooned by the populace. 

Secondly, you pretend that the statement was harmless and go on to reprimand the chairman in public.  By doing the second option, you are assured of standing ovations. 

You see, the truth is that professor Mills distanced himself from the statement because haven tested the waters, he knew the current was too swift for him to cross. 

There was no choice left for him to make except to say what he said.  By now, he might have called Kwabena Adjei to tell him the following:  “Efo Kwabena, do not mind them. 

The heat was so much on you so I had to cool down the tide.  That was why I distanced myself from your candid and lofty statement.

Clean, we will, damn the condemnation of your statement by these docile Ghanaians.  Carry on, millennium chairman, you are Santana, kill them all and come back alone”.  Egya Kwabena Kra has thrown a gauntlet, thereby inviting uncharitable comments from all peace loving people of this country.  Shame!!!
