The Member of Parliament (MP) for the Bekwai Constituency, Joseph Osei-Owusu, has lamented how ungrateful Ghanaians are despite the hard work leaders put into satisfying their needs.
According to the politician, Ghanaians have a way of shirking their part of the responsibility to maintain and protect anything done for them by their leaders.
“The people we work for don’t appreciate anything we do. The people we represent are often as irresponsible as anybody.
You struggle, borrow to build a road designed to last thirty years, everything that we must not do on the road, we will do it and the lifespan will be sharply reduced and we turn around to blame all the contractors, all the engineers and the politicians,” Joe Wise said.
The First Deputy Speaker of Parliament further stated that these actions of Ghanaians make it very frustrating to lead them.
It is frustrating to lead in Ghana because every rule will be disrespected. You are bad if you insist that the rule be respected. Sometimes, I just give up. If you insist, they will move a little, and they return.
His comment follows a protest which was organised by a team calling itself Democracy Hub aimed at addressing the ills and unfair treatment the government is meting out to the Ghanaian populace.
