On the eve of Mother’s Day, Mama Pat, in the midst of a small crowd, beseeched Sammy Gyamfi as he left an event. We have all seen the video. It is quite clear that the young man was overwhelmed by her pleas. In an attempt to do good to the woman, he conducted himself in a manner that has displeased ‘we-the-people’. Clearly, the public feels slighted.
But then again, we have observed a virtue in this matter, a virtue quite rare in our politics, a virtue that inspires hope. Sammy Gyamfi was swift to apologise. He clearly has understood his mistake with all humility.
It is out of humility and learning that people grow a better tomorrow. Honest and open apologies are a mark of accountability of public officers. This is one such instance, and I believe we should build on this.
Lessons learnt. Let's move on.
