Kan-Dapaah Wants A ‘Return Fight’

Just a few hours after he got his nose bloodied by a Former
Attorney-General, the Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of
Parliament, Albert Kan-Dapaah, has called for a ‘return fight’ to redeem
himself in the eyes of chieftains in the NPP who are still aghast at the
battering he took last Thursday.

As a result, he has extended another invitation to
Mrs. Betty Mould Iddrisu to appear before the PAC again in the CP judgement
debt saga. And this time round, he has sworn to ‘give it to her’ as it is said
in colloquial English.
This paper’s sources within the NPP say soon after the
PAC meeting, Kan Dapaah met some chieftains of the party who told him that
Betty’s performance had humiliated him and the party and as such, there was the
need for him to invite her to appear once again before the PAC and this time
round, he should not give her any opportunity to out-punch and out-class them
as she did during the sitting last Thursday.

However, a confidant of Betty Mould Iddrisu told this
paper that her performance before the PAC last Thursday was only half of what
she had originally planned to mete out especially to those arrogant and insolent
minority members of the Committee, especially Kan Dapaah and his side-kick,
Agyeman Manu who have, as a result of their performance, dragged the name of
the committee in the mud.
The current PAC
is the butt of very sick jokes in the capital. Patrons of a popular akpeteshie joint
in Alajo in Accra last Saturday
are said to have made Kan Dapaah their main topic for the day with some going
outside to piss on him after their bladder was full.
What many are waiting to hear, if the ‘return fight’
will come on is the twiglish that Kan Dapaah and Agyeman Manu will be deploying
against the Shakespearean-English speaking Betty Mould Iddrisu.
The NPP are said to be burning the midnight oil to
strategize on how to neutralize and humiliate Betty if she appears at the PAC
sitting again. Some minority members on the committee are said to have sworn
that this time round, they will show her ‘where power lies’
Many, however,
fear that the second sitting may end up like the Azumah-Fenech II fight in
Australia which saw the former ending the latter’s career after the latter had
claimed at the end of their first fight in the US that the result should not have
ended in a draw but in his favour.
“If they know how Betty was burning with rage at the
way they had criminalized her, they would not be calling for another sitting on
the matter unless they want to suffer a more humiliating fate.” Her confidant
says.
The Former Attorney-General is said to be still
seething with anger to the extent that friends and relations have been flocking
to her home to appeal to her to let bygones be bygones and forget the misbehaviour
of those members of the PAC who want to drag her solid reputation in the mud.
Many, however, opine that no matter what happens at
any other sitting between the PAC and Betty, just as first cut is said to be
the deepest, what would remain eked on Ghanaians’ mind is the demolition
exercise that the PAC suffered at the hands of the Betty on Thursday, July 12,
2012.
