Samson’s Take: Journalists, block the pretentious idiots  

I have taken a break from a PhD in law after two years of demanding studies.

People I have a good deal of respect for including a couple of judges have asked me to consider teaching law, which I do occasionally as guest lecturer.

It is embarrassing how a growing number of PhDs reduce the esteem one ought to have for those who have endured the discipline to earn it.

Lawmaker Dr.

Kingsley Nyarko is bold to give the lame and pathetic excuses and justifications you have heard because nothing will happen to him.

He lied on paper that he gave the money, what he earlier called a document, because the officers had not been served lunch.

If this had been done by an ordinary citizen, they would have been in police custody by now.

These days, some PhDs open their mouths on the radio and TV and you are left feeling embarrassed for them.

They, who should lead a debate of ideas and intellectual analysis are often heard trading insults and talking such bizarre and illogic propaganda that leaves people asking how and where such minds got a PhD.

Many have suffered the pretentious idiocy of the Dr.

But the election procedures are such that, one may say, it will take an idiot of a criminal to attempt to manipulate election results.

In Ghana, presidential and parliamentary election results have been a product of an open transparent, candidate, party, voter, and observer-policed process from start to finish.

This is the reason the Supreme Court, in 2013, soundly rejected the NPP’s prayer to annul some results because presiding officers failed to do their constitutional duty of appending their signatures to the “Pink Sheets”.

This brought about the law punishing these officers with fines and jail terms rather than visiting their sins on innocent voters.
