Was the MUSIGA President drunk?
by STEPHEN A. QUAYE
It was unbelievable for me and I hope other
persons who read the story of MUSIGA president
Diana Hopeson, telling the law enforcement agency
to temper justice with mercy when she pleaded on
behalf of the sexy songstress Mzbel.

Her explanation for pleading for the songstress to
be granted pardon for the alleged assault on the
peace officer was baseless and needs to be thrown
out because as an actress one needs to be a role
model in all fields.

So the explanation that as an actress when you are
late to your venue you might over speed or rush or
may act in a way that may be misbehavior should be
thrown to the dogs.

No body is talking about her late appearance at
her venue or where she was going at that time. She
might be aware that as a songstress she was
suppose to be a role model by being punctual and
also follow the traffic regulations strictly for
others to also emulate for all to enjoy smooth
traffic flow.

Even at all if she has been stopped by a uniform
police officer who was doing his work by ensuring
that she embarked on her journey safely at a time
where she was suppose to be present at an event,
what she should have done was to talk politely
with the officer then explaining circumstances
which lead to her act for leniency.

But no as according to the story she held the
throat of the officer who was questioning her
initial act of rough driving which could also be
described as a criminal offence.

Then if a whole president of MUSIGA was pleading
for her pardon she also says the police should
temper justice with mercy.

Suppose her over speeding lead to her knocking
down a pedestrian killing him instantly or caused
a head on collision with another car causing a
fatal accident killing many people ,we would have
pointed accusing fingers at the police for not
doing their work well on the roads.

A uniform police man doing his work well as
expected of him by stopping an over speeding
driver to ensure he saves the driver and
passengers from any eventual accident and the
driver a sexy songstress feel offended and
assaulted the police officer then we are asking
the peace officers to temper justice with mercy?
What a shame?

There are a whole lot of immoral acts going on in
the country unchecked because the very people who
are suppose to be role models by which their acts
are expected to teach the young ones the right of
way are rather neck deep in these immoral acts so
how do we clean the system?

A teacher goes into the classroom to teach the
pupils how to be law abiding by not insulting
elders in their communities, not to attack a
police man because they protects individuals.

Then those they respect as role models like this
thing expecting them to behave the way their
teachers taught them are found to be holding the
throat of the peace officer what do you think the
young children will also say?

Of course our teacher said we should not attack a
peace officer but that sexy songstress held the
throat of the peace officer the other day and went
scot free so where is the truth that I will be
jailed if I do that is the exact words any child
will use to question.

You will remember not quite long ago the American
Musician Chris Brown assaulted his girlfriend
Riana. He was arrested, charged, prosecuted and
sentenced to spent quite a number of days in
correctional institute after which he was
supervised to do a community work.

The community work he was supervised to do was to
sweep the streets of busy places where people will
see him as a popular person doing cleaning to
serve as deterrent.

The judge did not look at the fact that he was a
musician and that his image was at stake because
if he thinks so then he should have behaved well.

The same way the police and for that matter the
law court should not accept the fact that they
were considering her image and leave her to go
scot free.

Because if she assaulted the police officer by
holding his throat and went scot free, next time
she will squeeze the balls of another officer and
tear down his uniform and plead with them to
temper justice with mercy.

If I would be asked what kind of sentence should
be handed down to the accuse I would have
suggested that she be made to tidy up the cross
road intersection of castle road and independence
square for two weeks so that the president seeing
her can congratulate her for keeping the place
tidy.

Let the case go through the process of the law in
a competent court to serve as deterrent to other
artists who are also misbehaving in the system to
see that the law has no respect for anyone but all
are equal under the law. Other artists should
learn their lesson from this.
