But Okudzeto Ablakwa chose to give the impression in his feature article devoted to insulting me with reckless abandon that he respects elders, at least in the NDC, and excuses his attacks on me for exercising my right to free speech in congratulating the Kenyan Supreme Court for the Court\u2019s decision annulling the 8th August 2017 elections on the flimsy ground that I had attacked \u2018the former President\u2019 whom I believe is supposedly dumb figuratively and therefore unable to speak for himself,\u201d he added in the article.<\/p>\n<p>But in his response, Mr. Ablakwa said \u201cI state for the record and in true conscience before God and man that I have authored no article on Hon.
