Okudzeto's mentor, John Dramani Mahama, who elevated him to Deputy Minister of Education amidst protest from the public, should
simply have
recused himself from the Commonwealth Observer Team as a mark of honour but he did not do so as proof that he has never had any honour — period!
Likewise, the only reason a person chooses not to
recuse himself or herself is because that person wants that job for personal reasons whether it be ego, financial gain, building a higher profile, or
simply because he doesn't like being told what to do.
