Deadly Sophistry

Deceit!

Before someone thinks of telling you a lie, first they weigh you to convince themselves you’re so credulous to believe the lie. If it’s a simple lie, they know you’re not so difficult to deceive. If the lie is sophisticated, they believe, you may get them…

You see the recent report that the Minister of Health and some Ambulance Service people have appealed to the President to delay distribution of ambulances? Nice. That’s an Intermediate Level Lie packaged for people with Intermediate Level Credulity.

Here’s the truth:
Because the President’s earlier suggestion that he was waiting for the full complements of the ambulances before they are distributed received a huge backlash from a large proportion of the citizenry, there’s need to create a story to justify the President’s earlier statement.

Delaying the distribution in spite of the huge cry of Ghanaians for a speedy distribution of the vehicles is an indirect way of saying shut up guys; your lives don’t matter.

How many of the people involved in the procurement and distribution of the ambulances even patronize Ghana’s healthcare services in the first place?
