You are a big fool . Did you go to parliament so you can be minister? The work of a Parliamentarian isn’t connected to that of a minister. You go to parliament to enact laws to help govern the state and the people. It’s your greedy and selfish lots who want to be made ministers to steal our movies. In ghana, we cannot name Uk to ten ministers who have done tremendous work for the people to benefit. Foolish politician

They said "yɛ tẽ sika so, nso ɛkɔm dẽ yɛ" and to them, it meant the country has too much to keep. They came opened the safes, looted and shared with impunity.
The tears and pains of every lay person in this country will become a curse that will haunt them, their families and descendants. No amount of money, wealth or connections will take away the curse on their lives

And so what? It's only in Ghana that parliamentarians are given money to develop their constituencies and not spend time on parliamentary duties. This financial allocation is a big source of corruption and dishonesty among our parliamentarians. Besides, it has also led to vote buying. You either vote for the parliamentarian or else you are denied the public toilet.
