COMMON SENSE IS NOT A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF GHANA'S EDUCATED URBAN ELITES, MASSA!

Opanin, the idea that freedom - the love of which beats strongly in the hearts of all members of the human race - somehow, ought to be in the gift of governments, because they, apparently, have a monopoly on the mechanism needed to ascertain the administrative skills, and suitability for office, of potential district chief executives (DCE's), is a notion that ought never be entertained by those who believe in democracy: and have faith in the innate good sense of ordinary people.

Massa, whatever gave you the idea that ordinary people will not be able to make a well-informed judgement, about the suitability for office, of the competent individuals, who presumably would have put themselves forward in primaries to elect their party's candidates for the position of DCE's, and emerged victorious, after being selected from a field of other equally competent individuals, were we to have the good sense to elect them as DCE's on a party political basis?

Opanin, is that not a rather curious position for any individual who believes in democracy, and the fundamental right of all human beings to elect their own rulers, to take?

Ordinary grassroots people will always select the candidate they feel will best promote their welfare, in any election - and subsequently turf them out of office if they fail to deliver, Massa.

Please, do not give one the impression that you are an elitist, Opanin - people with formal education, do not own common sense as a whole-owned subsidiary of theirs. Never forget that.

Ordinary people are not daft - and simply because they do not have a university degree, does not mean that those who have, know what is best for them, when it comes to the simple business of casting their vote for their choice of DCE, does it?

Let us not show such contempt for those whose blood, sweat and tears, built this country of ours, Opanin - for, they deserve better! Hmmm, Ghana - eyeasem oo: asem ebaba debi ankasa!

May God bless and protect our homeland Ghana, always. Long live freedom! Long live Ghana!
