  • Attempting to combat corruption as president will result in death – Okyeame Kwame

    Attempting to combat corruption as president will result in death – Okyeame Kwame

    Okyeame Kwame asserts that the solution to Ghana’s issues lies in educating the next generation.

    From his vantage point, meaningful change appears unachievable due to the pervasive corruption in the current political environment.

    The rapper has voiced doubt, claiming that because corruption is so pervasive, any leader who tries to implement significant reforms will suffer dire consequences and may even endanger their life.

    “NDC/NPP cannot help Ghana; family is what can help Ghana. The problem affecting us as a people is a problem of the mind. The corrupt system cannot fix itself; it makes a lot of people rich and happy. If a president wants to come and fight corruption in the country right now, he will be dead in 2 weeks. It’s not about pay; it’s not about money; it’s about morality,” he asserted.

    Ghanaians’ current generation’s mentality, according to Okyeame Kwame, is the primary cause of corruption. He suggested that fostering corruption in young people from an early age would be the most successful course of action.

    “The politician was put in power by you and me; they are a representation of us, so if they are corrupt, it shows that you are corrupt. I agree that politicians are causing problems, but as you fight the politicians, train your child not to think like a politician. My vision is that we train our children to be incorruptible so that they will grow up and do away with this corrupt system. That is the only way I think Ghana would develop. Let us focus on training the young ones now,” he emphasized.

    When questioned about the politicians in charge right now, Okyeame Kwame gave a fatalistic response, implying that they will all eventually die. He emphasised that the best way to create good change in the future is to teach children to be selfless.

  • Only 8% of Ghanaian Politicians Are Sensible – Nana Aba Anamoah (Video)

    Only 8% of Ghanaian Politicians Are Sensible – Nana Aba Anamoah (Video)

    The majority of Ghanaian politicians, according to well-known media figure Nana Aba Anamoah, are “senseless and unpatriotic.”

    Nana Aba said that only 8% of Ghanaian politicians possessed the necessary political savvy and accountability for the country’s governance. 

    She claimed that 92% of politicians, regardless of party, are only in the system to take advantage of the government during a live studio discussion on 3Music TV. The media personality highlighted that these politicians are mostly the loud ones who continuously disparage other people’s intelligence.

    Never one to hold back, Nana voiced her concerns about the calibre of political leadership and emphasised the need for a more deliberate and responsible approach. The 8% figure she mentioned points to a sizable discrepancy in Ghanaian politicians’ perceived levels of sensibility.

    ”I see so much in this country, and I am looking at some of our politicians. Only 8% of our politicians are sensible across the board. The rest of them are just there, not by dint of hard work, not because they are so passionate about this country. 

    They simply see an opportunity to take advantage of the state, and they are making every effort to do so. I do not even want to go there because they are the intrusive, loud people. She stated, “I think this generation is better than ours because things are changing and I think we could do better.”

  • Adwoa Safo loses to Mike Oquaye Jr. for the Dome-Kwabenya seat

    Adwoa Safo loses to Mike Oquaye Jr. for the Dome-Kwabenya seat

    In the parliamentary primaries of the New Patriotic Party, Mike Oquaye Jr. defeated Adwoa Safo to win the Dome-Kwabenya parliamentary seat.

    Dome Kwabenya Seat
    Adwoa Safo, the current member of parliament, was unable to hold onto her seat after Mike Oquaye Jr. won the primary. This achievement was significant. Among the party members in Dome-Kwabenya, the final results showed a clear preference for Mike Oquaye Jr.

    Defeated decisively in the New Patriotic Party parliamentary primaries against Mike Oquaye Jr., the CEO of the Free Zones Authority, was Adwoa Safo. With more than 1194 votes, Oquaye Junior defeated Adwoa Safo, who only received 328 votes.

    In the fiercely contested contest, Sheela Oppong Sakyi, the third contender, received just about 100 votes, good for a distant third place.

    This unexpected result appears to be changing the political landscape of Dome-Kwabenya.

    Mike Oquaye Jr. presented a serious challenge to Adwoa Safo, a well-known figure in the constituency and within the New Patriotic Party, and the electorate indicated that they preferred new leadership. The dynamics of Dome-Kwabenya politics have significantly changed as a result of her loss of her parliamentary seat.

    Political activities and engagements in the Dome-Kwabenya constituency are expected to increase as political parties prepare for the upcoming general elections.
