The Betrayal of a Traitor – Arthur Kennedy

By: Citizen Fadi


Starting an article with exceptional anger is a recipe for a spicy one and, as such, any write up on the repulsive misconduct of Arthur Kennedy would be nothing but another lesson to be learnt from a fallen miscreant.
A Doctor, turned political failure, and hooligan wanting to vent out his spleen in a bid to unleash his vendetta against Honourable Nana Akufo-Addo for losing the 2008 presidential primaries to him getting an abysmal one vote, which apparently turned out to be his, is hurting no other than himself. To the extent that even his best mates in the party and possibly his family members did not vote for him is attestation enough to everyone’s lack of trust in his abilities (which are, really, major inabilities).
In his unbecoming and mediocre demeanor, he has proven to Ghanaians and the whole world that, truly, there always will be traitors in the midst of men and he is, certainly, one such traitor.
Arthur kennedy, as far as I and other NPP faithfuls are concerned, does not, even, qualify to be a veterinarian let alone a Doctor. After his dismal performance as a politician, he was given a role to play in the election campaign much to the chagrin of the good people of our Party. Nana Akufo-Addo handed him a lifeline in a selfless show of humanity, forgiveness and humility but what did he do? He reverted to his uncouth self and, dishonestly, benefitted, massively, from funds disbursed for the campaign. Instead of holding his horses and maintaining his dignity, he went to the extent of attempting a botched attack on his superiors and ended up doing damage to none other than himself and his pedigree. Sleeping with the enemy is more like his trend of business and it is chilling to know that, all along, Arthur kennedy has connived with the NDC in many meetings, held within Ghana and overseas, to strip NPP off success, which was deservedly won but stolen with his knowledge. He has been leaking information to all the ardent haters of respectable manifestos because just like them he is ”empty, emptier and emptiest”. He has tried in many ways to influence the election petition case brought before the Supreme Court with his dirty rhetoric and infidelity but, fortunately for us, the NPP, it is GOD who is doing battle for us and suffice it as such for Ghanaians.
In comparison, Arthur Kennedy does not qualify to be in the lines of The Honourable. What achievement in medicine has he chocked as against Nana Akufo-Addo’s chain of successes in legal cases before High courts and Supreme courts, both, locally and internationally? How does a miscreant such as Arthur dare venture into dangerous territory as walking into the lair of lions? Stalwarts like Nana Akufo-Addo, honourable everywhere they went, would not, even, stoop low as to put out a rebuttal to the obnoxious statements that such a lowlife would peddle.
All Ghanaians from all political and social divides would attest to my submission with all sincerity. There are no political points to be scored from such animalistic attacks. It is rather the acquisition of knowledge from the closeness to such Wisemen that makes the difference; the whole difference in making a difference; the whole difference in differentiating between the diligent student and the lazy one. Eschewing the principles of respect, dignity and soul-searching, finally, culminates in the disaster of desertion, hence Arthur Kennedy’s inferiority complex.
I say to Arthur Kennedy, “you ought to surrender yourself to the punitive measures that the great NPP would be taking against you and, in the same faith, render an unequivocal apology to Honourable Nana Akufo-Addo and to the whole Party fraternity while you bow your head in shame for the audacity of your vile accusations and denigration of our Honourable flagbearer.
Failure to do so will compel us disgruntled members of the NPP to expose the sinister plans and plots that you have agreed to be a part of after many secret meetings that you have held with the NDC and other vagabonds of your caliber.
SHAME ON YOU!!!
