Sammi Awuku’s ability to sometimes rise above party lines is commendable.
In a comment on the unexplained death of Isaac Batsa, an NDC Constituency Secretary in Akuapem North, he wrote “Though we belonged to different political parties, he rose above party lines and served his party and constituency diligently”.
It is hoped that this apparently honest expression can be replicated by others and on all national issues.
How Batsa died in a hotel room is still a matter of speculation, and the security services ought to provide convincing answers before mischief makers and truth seekers of various hues create a mess”.
Some Ghanaian reacting to his post stated, “He is one of the finest brains in Ghanaian politics. However, sometimes, collective responsibilities prevent him from truly rising above the lines. I like him”.
One X user added, “What Awuku has done that is pleasing to warrant your praise is something you find it so hard and difficult to do, to you, every political discussion is an opportunity for you to defend the NDC because in your eyes they can never be wrong
What happened to you, Uncle Kwesi?”.
Another X user alleged, “Don’t try to whitewash this man who misused NLA money. Typically, Ghanaians always say good things about the dead. This is not rocket science. He’s someone who used the country’s money to buy his position”.
