The year is barely two months old, but I have broken one of my resolutions – that is posting article fortnightly.

When The Incompetent Calls The Competent ‘Incompetent’

‘Competence’ isn’t necessarily a new word to us, is it? But you’ll agree with me that it has gained currency in our political landscape over the last couple of weeks. It started when Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, the vice presidential candidate of the NPP threw the first salvo after the 2016 budget presentation. And quite expectedly, the President responded when he addressed his teeming supporters at the Trade Fair Centre during the round-up of the NDC’s Greater Accra tour. A colleague claims he saw me smirk anytime the issue was being discussed on radio, and quite frankly, I was amused at the brouhaha. Depending on where your allegiance lies, it is a case of the proverbial pot calling the kettle black, hence the title of this piece. Who is the pot? Who is the kettle? You’ll soon find out as I share my musings in the next few paragraphs.
