Betty- the diamond the NDC left to collect stones

The

performance of Mrs. Betty Mould Iddrisu last Thursday before the Public

Accounts Committee (PAC) of parliament has restored the confidence of the NDC

in the raging judgement debt battle between it and the NPP.

Until recently,

the NPP saw the matter, especially the saga involving the payment of judgement

debt to Alfred Woyome as its triumph card to winning this December’s elections.

Really, the NDC should have faced the NPP head-on in this matter right from the

onset but thanks to the Ahitophile’s counsel the party continues to receive

from certain quarters, they rather withdrew, allowing the NPP to ascend to the

moral high ground and begin dictating the pace.

The

ruling party realized very late in the day that the judgement debt matter was

not a matter for Woyome or Mrs. Betty Mound Iddrisu to fight because these

people are not the targets of the NPP. The real target (of the NPP) has always

been President Mills because his integrity hurts them especially since their

flag-bearer has no integrity of his own left as a result of his addiction to

wee and cocaine, misbehavior in public, especially the fondling of the breast

of a female worker of GBC and his urinating on a mosque as well as his call for

blood to be shed just so he can become President of Ghana.

Adopting

the adage ‘better late than never’ the NDC has gamely fought back and succeeded

in making Ghanaians realize that in the matter of the payments of the judgement

debts, it is the NPP that is guilty. The NDC is only cleaning up the mess they

created.

The

icing on the cake was the performance of Mrs. Betty Mould Iddrisu before the

PAC last Thursday. It really was a performance that sent NDC supporters

jubilating into the weekend. It has been one of the most exciting days since

then. Yet, here is a woman the NDC left in the lurch a few months ago to fight

the battle alone. Intelligence this paper picked suggests even that she was

being left out of the NDC’s outreach programme in the Ashanti Region in spite

of the huge support she commands in the region.

Betty’s

performance at the PAC should be a lesson to the NDC; never ignore someone who cares

for you because someday, you will

realize you’ve lost a diamond while you were busily collecting stones!
