Ken Kuranchie's foolish bravado - 10 days in solitude for a medal!

There are two friends of mine. One is wise. The other is foolish. The one is called sammi Awuku, an' the other is K.A Kuranchie. I have hosted Ken on my radio show severally and have worked on several news paper publications with him. He is my friend. As for Sammi Awuku, yes, i have hosted him on radio as well - but beyond that I have been drinking Black Label with him. He is also my friend. Ken is older than Sammi. Ken likes to talk with verbosity. He enjoys making allegations - totally unsubstantiated. And he loves to twist stories maliciously. He is die in the wool NPP journalist. I don't know if his newspaper has been rented by the NPP. Sammi likes -to be so sure of himself. He Believes a lot in conspiracy theories and known for his ability to outwit his group members - be it AFAG or LMVC groups - he always has the last laugh with his peers. These two friends of mine are brave guys. They say a lot of things without thinking about the consequences. But beyond bravery, a soldier needs discretion, some wisdom, some instinct to stay alive or even uncaptured on a battle field. Ask the soldiers, they will attest to it. I am a commandante so I know. This is where there is a clear difference between those two guys. Sammy applied his sixth sense on the battle field. He dared the SC judges, called them *hypocritical and selective* refused to apologize on radio -even rejected an apology on his behalf by Kwesi Pratt - at first. Later in the witness box, though brave, but wiser, sammi upon realizing the mightiness of the SC, humbly ate back his words or perhaps, he was made to vomit them out and was punished leniently without criminal conviction. His political future is intact and unbruised. Mr. kuranchie on the other hand, having been possessed by uninformed bravado, and utter folly, chose to make sammi Awuku's vomit his own dinner. He repeated, emphasized and re - echoed sentiments that sammi Awuku had already denounced by him self before the SC judges a day earlier. What sort of prudence dictates such an action from Ken? Only Mr. kuranchie - and perhaps his pro bono lawyer 'azar' Ata-kyea - can tell us. So like the brave but foolish soldier on the battle field, Mr. kuranchie has been captured, and caged for 10 reflective days in solitary confinement. For what? Foolish bravado!!
