Lydia Forson was being sarcastic in her piece and in no way implied that she was advocating for the dishonorable MP to be left off the hook. What she implied was that we condoned and remained silent to his previous diatribes against people, especially women, for so long that for us to now come out to condemn him simply because the person he attacked happened to be one of stature in society, smacks of hypocrisy, when we never found it fit to condemn him when he started insulting people willy nilly.
I think this writer who is trying so hard to impress people with his English that nobody understands, just missed the boat. Maybe he is "Prof" Ahoefe's cousin, but I am not the least impressed with his take on Lydia's expose.

Couldn't agree with you more prince. What's the essence of writing when readers cannot or find it extremely difficult to understand u? It appears the writer is more interested in demonstrating his ability to put unusual words/terms together than carrying a message across.

Kwarteng must know and understand his readership audience. Most people have been complaining about his characteristic verbosity - which is very distasteful, and has, subsequently, succeeded in forcing his Trokosi admirers to abandone him at midstream - but it seems none of those friendly calls are of any importance to his dimwitted square-chop-box he carry around as a human head. Even if myself find it difficult to make sense, or understand these stupid combination of words which he has presented here as an essay, then I have every reason to predict why Kojo T and C.Y. Andy K ( the two defenders of Trokosi heritage) have stop following him. I know he always has something thoughtful to share, but i doubt if forumers take the pain to read through his convoluted scripts.

Wow!!! Who is Ken Kwarteng, s audience? Your self? You may learn to write in simple and succinct English like Lydia Gordon. You seem to think that by using "big" words and constructing long and complicated sentences make you a great writer. If your aim was to put forth an intellectually convincing argument, you failed miserably. If the reader cannot understand your writing, you cease to be a writer of consequence. One does not need to have a dictionary when reading your article unless your main aim is to show or impress people of your dexterity with the english language.You make a good argument but your writing is very poor.

It is a great shame that far too many of those who responded to your well written piece, either didn't read it, or read it but didn't understand your intent.
I strongly agree with you that, we must "make a powerful precedential example of Ken if he does not produce his evidence."
And this will go a long way "...to serve as a powerful teachable precedent to all those who aspire to public office."
I plead with Sister Lydia Forson to think seriously about her article "Leave Kennedy Agyapong Alone."
The uncouth behaviour of Kennedy Agyapong must be condemned by all and sundry.
I sincerely would like my good friend Joyce Aryee, as a prominent Ghanaian & an eminent woman in our society to comment on this
unfortunate topic.
