It appears the local clich� �Cry your own cry� seems to be the in-thing with some government appointees appearing before the Presidential Commission of Inquiry investigating Ghana�s disgraceful performance at the 2014 World Cup finals staged in Brazil. After the former Youth and Sports Minister Elvis Afriyie Ankrah uncontrollably wept at the Commission�s hearing, another drama emanated on Monday when the Chairman of the Protocol and Supporters Welfare Committee during 2014 Brazil World Cup, Kojol Adu-Asare faced the commission. The former NDC law-maker for the people of Adentan in the Greater Accra Region, also known as �Hon Swagger�, during some bombardments of questions from the commission�s panel, could not hold back his tears in the full glare of the public. According to the �Swagger� man, he was devastated by reports that his committee pocketed monies meant for organizing and airlifting diehard football fanatics to Brazil. But speaking on Asempa FM, Tuesday, the New Patriotic Party [NPP] National Organizer, John Boadu questioned by Mr. Adu-Asare wept. �I thought Adu-Asare was manly enough with balls, so why was he crying?� he quizzed. �Uncle JB�, as popularly called, opined that, �If the allegations labeled against Adu-Asare is false, then why can�t he explain himself for the public to know rather than cry. The crying will not solve anything. They stand accused of embezzling state funds and instead of them to account for�they rather cry.�
