“The wisest thing in the world is to cry out before you are hurt. It is no good to cry out after you are hurt; especially after you are mortally hurt”.

Dear Politicians and your friends

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) will not be scrapped.

Dear Radio, TV hosts & CSO, don’t let them muddy the issues - keep the issues against the Office Holder separate from the intent of the Office.

Journalists, if you chase politicians, the public only get recycled excuses on the poor #WASSCE results.
