Is it true that ...

.... the former husband of the 'Salt and Pepper' lady, now Husband Number 4 to the Fair Lady of the VRA Procurement Department after the English lady, the deceased daughter of the Cape Coast lawyer whom he did not marry anyway, and the 'Salt and Pepper' Lady, also known in local parlance as "emaa to Tarzan", is still being paid by the VRA, is still living in the official VRA bungalow, is still using the official VRA car which is still being fuelled free of charge by the VRA, almost three months after resigning his office following three previous months' of "stepping aside",

.... and is it also true that the said "emaa to Tarzan" has also put in a demand for severance pay for ten years salary at ?3.6 Billion per year totalling ?36 Billion payable immediately, allegedly in lieu of notice even though he was announced to have voluntarily resigned and in the normal course of things therefore, he rather ought to be paying the VRA in lieu of notice to resign,

.... and is it true that a portion of the demand has already been paid and the remainder of this damnable and impudent request was also being favourably considered by the Awotwi IMC?

*The NPP MP for Nsuta-Kwaman, Hon. Kwame Osei-Prempeh, in an encounter with the NDC MP for Fanteakwa and NDC National Organiser Hon. Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo on Love FM radio station in Kumasi, took offence at the NDC MPs defence of the NDC period in government and warned Hon. Ofosu-Ampofo on air that he should know that he was in Kumasi, and that Ashantis are not such that anybody could ride roughshod over them, that Ashanti radio listeners are more discerning and intelligent than those Ga listeners in Accra, and that if Ofosu-Ampofo did not take care, he may not live to regret the day that he was born, or words to that effect?
