Character Assassination of JDM in the Airbus Corruption Scandal....Dr. H. Kwame Afaglo
Am surprised and disgusted that some learned folks in NPP and in government of Ghana erroneously opted to malign JDM and asking him to resign as the flag bearer of NDC, over the Airbus corruption scandal.
Let me ask those learned folks if they ever remember their Jurisprudence 404 with its fundamental underpinning being, _one is innocent until proven guilty_?
Why in 2020 should we allow ourselves to repeat the mistakes of travesty of justice that did plague the world some centuries back?
The issue of Airbus corruption and Ogyakrom (GH) is before an investigations team, so a little patience would be needed and the actual names of the coded language will become known.
If the main investigators in their legal wisdom opted to use codes instead of names in heir report that should advice us in Ogyakrom of the hurdle ahead in using names at an unverified end, so not to vilify, malign, shame and make another loose respect before the publics that he deals with.
_Just a slight but related diversification here_
_Once upon a time in a secondary school, an item was stolen and a shred face student was named as the culprit just because the claimant thinks he saw his back at the crime scene. This shrewd faces student was hooted at by almost every student including the tutors such that he has to drop out._
_Few months after, in another incidence of a dimming hall scramble over meals one acquired the other of being the thief instead of the shrewd faced student._
_What a miscarriage of justice and harm to the personality of the innocent._
_Fairness being God’s handiwork, the shrewd face student after dropping school got a job as an IT apprentice and as the years went by he rose to be the head of IT with industry customized softwares_
*Generically, if NPP folks aren’t cautious, they will end up making a martyr out of JDM who is a regular bloke seeking a comeback to power*
_All things works for good for those who love the Lord_
Please fellows, it is prudent to use codes and await the actual names to be provided by UK Serious Fraud Office in this Airbus corruption case, than character assassinate JDM just because his opponents tag him as corrupt, they repeated it over and over without he countering, which later gained currency and led to his defeat in 2016 elections.
Innocent until proven guilty
Dr. H. Kwame Afaglo
