Politicians are not crooks – NPP MP Andy Appiah Kubi explains

Lawyer and New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament (MP), Andy Appiah Kubi has debunked assertions that politicians are a  dishonest group of people.

He argued that the perception that politicians are crooks is not wholly true since there are many who are honest in their dealings.

He however conceded that the perception and criticism about the dishonesty of politicians is a wake-up call to them to reexamine their lives and work to reverse the negative public image of politicians.

“When you say politicians are crooks, I don’t subscribe to that. When people say lawyers are liars, I disagree also. And I am sure Martin [lawyer Martin Kpebu] will disagree also,” he said on TV3’s Keypoints programme on Saturday.  

“It’s a call to you to look at our lives and see how we would better address that issue of the public perception. It is a perception, not reality… There are exceptions to every rule,” he added.

Following the revelations that the former Minister for Sanitation and Water Resources had stashed huge sums of money in hard currency, discussions about the dishonesty and insincerity of politicians have reignited. While there seems to be a consensus that politicians are self-serving, there is also a school of thought that some are honest and selfless.

Most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by their Pastors – Papa Shee

Evangelist Papa Shee says most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by Pastors. According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them. Related Posts Quoting a Scripture from Matthew, Papa Shee mentioned that no one should refer to a man as his/her spiritual father because the word speaks against it.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities. Residents of the timber and Cocoa producing town in the Western Region of Ghana say they have been unfairly treated by several governments; the neglect they say they do not know what to attribute it to. A worrying feature of their roads they say is the fact that moving from Samreboi to neighbouring villages and towns become impossible especially during the rainy season hence bringing economic activities to a standstill. Residents say even though the year has been declared “Year of Roads” they are yet to see a kilometre of road being constructed.
