Our political landscape is strewn with hypocritically pious elements who see something the NDC does as normal but lambast the NPP for the same incident.
Minority MPs boycotted Parliament yesterday in solidarity with James Gyekye Quayson and Cassiel Ato-Forson who are facing trials for some offenses.
The apostles of good governance have shockingly muted their voices for reasons best known to them. They see everything right with what the Minority MPs did.
As far as they’re concerned, this doesn’t amount to the opposition MPs wasting the resources of the country by abandoning their work in Parliament.
If this had happened with the NPP, these same good governance preachers would have raised eyebrows and chastised the party for such a move.
This has emboldened the Minority MPs as they threaten to stage more walkouts in solidarity with their beleaguered party members in court.
Apart from these MPs getting paid for no work done, these people do not also see the danger in these attempts to create the impression that the MPs are being persecuted and not prosecuted.
These apostles somehow endorse the position of the NDC that as far as they’re concerned, their members are above the laws of the land and should not be prosecuted for any wrongdoing.
Objectivity is lost on these people preaching good governance. They treat the NDC preferentially as against the NPP. Interests driven advocacies are what they know.
