As for this week, people have really let me down o.

On Monday, we talked about the NPP primaries which took place across the country on Saturday. There was a bit of changing of the old guard in the Ashanti region, where many stalwarts and incumbents were shooed out of the limelight to be replaced by fresh faces - including the lady who might soon become the youngest Member of Parliament in Ghana's history, Potentially Honourable Francesca Oteng-Mensah. There was some suggestion that she may have won by financial advantage, and there were some pictures on social media of some office complex she had promised to build for the party and so forth, but let's be honest, this is politics, and if you can afford to splurge on a campaign, well it's not against the law.

But my disappointment came from former Member of Parliament, Maxwell Kofi Jumah. Kofi Ghana os3 whana whana. A former member of parliament, a former Mayor of Kumasi, a grown-up, an "elder", one of the people who we are all supposed to automatically respect because they are older and richer than us. Well, this respectable, honourable man (yes, he still calls himself Honourable, even though he is no longer in parliament), when he realised that the votes were not going his way, just walked up, grabbed some ballot papers and started ripping them apart. Like some sort of petulant child with ADHD. These are the sort of people we are supposed to respect? I am disappointed.

Another grown-up who disappointed me very much on Monday, was a teacher at the Suhum Aboabo Sonkor Presbyterian Basic School known as Sir Johnson. This is the guy who sent a student - a child placed in his care by trusting parents - to climb a coconut tree and pluck him a few. In spite of the boy's protests, he forced him up the tree. He fell and was paralysed. His parents couldn't come up with GHC3600 for life-saving surgery, so the poor boy died. Just yesterday, we heard he had been arrested and charged. We will see what happens with that.

Tuesday brought along even more disappointment for me as we heard the members of our parliament throw their toys out of their prams because someone supposedly said they were ignorant about the recently approved Ebola Vaccine tests. Now, I actually have a lot to say about this. I was going to talk about the meaning of the word ignorance and how it was in no way an insult. I was going to talk about how ridiculous it was for parliamentarians to attempt to legislate respect instead of earning it. I was going to say several things about how they need to stop the petty one-upsmanship and the infantile brandishing of the privileges committee as a weapon of mass intimidation. I was going to say a lot of things, but I decided to keep it simple and say just this:

Alex Dodoo is a Professor in Clinical Pharmacology at Legon. He holds a B.Pharm degree from KNUST, as well as Biopharmacy MSc and PhD degrees from Kings College London. He served two 2-year terms (2008-2012) as President of the Pharmaceutical Society of Ghana (this is the professional organisation for all 2500+ pharmacists in this country).  He was President of the Pharmacy Information Section of the International Pharmaceutical Federation from 2008 to 2012 and was also a member of the Board of Pharmacy Practice of FIP, which happens to be the umbrella organisation for all pharmacists in the world. He is the first African and the first non-European to be elected President of the International Society of Pharmacovigilance, a position he held for four years.

Please, Mr Bagbin, Mr Opoku Prempeh, Mr KT Hammond, Mr Doe Ajaho, and that MP who asked whether the vaccine has been tested on monkeys, I beg you, if you are talking about drug testing, and this man tells you that you're ignorant, please just account for the possibility that HE knows what he's talking about and you don't, ok? Na mo p3 saa.

And in fact, let me add that you can't enforce respect. You have to earn it, and this week, you lost mine. Please earn it back quickly by showing that you are not above learing. Put that privileges committee thing away, and let's concentrate on serious issues wai, na we have a nation to run.

On Wednesday, we talked about the impact of the floods on businesses at circle and surrounding areas.

And yesterday, my disappointment was served up by WAEC and all schools and agencies involved in administering the BECE, when the decision was made to cancel five papers because the questions had been leaked.

Today, we're going to make up for the disappointment with some education and engaging conversation. I'll tell you all about it shortly, so stay with us.

My name is Kojo Yankson, and it's been a week of Primary, Pharmacological and Parliamentary Disappointment.

GOOD MORNING, GHANAFO!
