We are well-trained in a country like Ghana. Most families instil cherished morals in their children from a very young age. And someone like Mr. Darkwah would be no exception. On this sound premise, it is rather unfortunate the turn of events in the last few days. Tragically, a case like this threatens to ruin a reputation that has taken years to forge in the searing anvil of life.
It is appropriate to plead using this medium that we do not become a jury when the case is yet to be decided. The firm presumption has to be that he is innocent until proven guilty. After all, a charge is not the same as a sentence.
Nonetheless, thinking about the issue, one has to wonder what exactly went on, or perhaps is going on. As some will strongly argue with or without deference, a man can date any girl who is not a minor, and is of sound mind. That said, when people are in the limelight, we usually expect them to act in a certain way. This is not the law, but more of societal custom and expectation. Thus, the age gap between accused and complainant itself raises questions, particularly when the complainant could well be his daughter. But on a more serious note, one has to pause and ask a few more probing and trenchant questions in the light of the public information I have to bring to your attention.
Below is a verifiable Facebook note written by The Finest as he likes to be referred to. I encourage you to peruse through and hear what the man has to say. The note is dated (13 June 2014 at 09:32). Most likely, you may conclude that if he had followed his own stated morals as obvious from this note, then things would have turned out quite differently. And if he indeed followed his morals, then he can be confident of escaping from this septic morass he is stuck in. But that is for you to read and decide whether you agree or otherwise.
