Okyenhene Osagyefo-Amoatia Ofori Panin
Chiefs they say are the custodians of wisdom and speak in season. The issue is not about whether there is ambulance or not but whether those who claimed they resuscitating the late Veep know anything about that process. The narration by the Chief is clear that they might have fastened the process of death of the former Veep.
[ads1]The question is why put him in the bucket of the pickup instead of inside the pickup? Look 90% of ordinary sudden sick people in Ghana are transported to the hospital by taxis how much more a pickup.
Okyehene by his testimony sought to create the impression that he died because the nation could not provide an ambulance for a whole former Vice President when in reality portrayed that he died in undeserving manner。Maybe the chief is genuine but speaking in a season is the expression of royal grace.
Now, this is for everyone. Some will die in the toilet, some while driving and others in the marketplace or perhaps in front of enemies. How a person dies should rather remind us of how we shall die.
It is also unfortunate that the death of the humble but hardworking former Vice President is of no concern to the NPP government to the extent that the current Vice President described him as first class but a presidential staffer spoke with childish and senseless political tongue. No respect for the humble soul. No day of mourning. Ayekoo.
