I Am Perplexed About The Abysmal Performance Of MPs In The Bono East, Bono, And Ahafo Regions – Media Personality

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

I am perplexed about the abysmal performance of MPs in the Bono East, Bono, and Ahafo region but would limit myself to the two Bono MP’s who have been the Nebuchadnezzar’s of our time with each serving not less than 12yrs in Parliament now, but comparing them to Nebuchadnezzar might be wrong because Nebuchadnezzar brought some development to the good people of Babylon and was called “Babylon’s great builder” with many achievement, hence comparing our M P’s with zero attainments to Nebuchadnezzar might be meritorious to them and a disservice to Nebuchadnezzar.

I cannot fathom where this policy of “1MP 1Radio station” emanated from, while other regions like Ashanti Region, Eastern Region & Greater Accra are busy lobbying for development our 2 MP’s are at the office of NMC searching for frequency.

A radio Pastor in our conversation asked me he heard of Sunyani West MP setting up another station + Tv in Sunyani why not at Nsoatre his constituency but instead Sunyani where his colleague MP of Sunyani East has established same from same party?… I told him honestly I have no idea…why Sunyani again?? Bono and Ahafo Region have about 6O radio stations more than even Ashanti region & Greater Accra, yet we are the poorest and internally underdeveloped region in Ghana and the 6O radio stations are all quite!!.

Unfortunately there is one achievement our Members of Parliament can boast of, and that is setting up radio stations with ultramodern studios costing billions to propagate their self parochial interest and make them relevant and popular every day. In my candid opinion, the only record to account for in their 12yrs reign is establishing radio stations to my best of knowledge. Sunyani is far behind in all facets of development and Hon. Ameyaw Cheremeh and Hon. Baffuor Awuah makes the region seems to be an orphan region with no leaders…sad indeed.

It seems when NDC is in power they have access to the 83.7MGZ – 1O8MGZ frequency range of Ghana free of charge & vis-à-vis when the NPP is in power . Currently the media is full of cowards & party folks who have averted their mandate to condemn bad leadership into praising them & is quite unfortunate. It saddens my heart to watch Metro Tv and listen to Hon. Freda Prempeh who have failed her people abysmally and has also established radio station (Jewel Fm) says that her track records are unmatched at Tano North & some feminine call her to ask how she did it, are you not ashamed of yourself.

‘Track record of establishing radio station indeed’. same as Jaman South M P (Hon. Yaw Afful) also establishing Jaman Radio at Drobo…Are this the core duties of M P’s in Bono & Regions?? Were they really voted for to be agents of transformation. They loot the public and amass wealth for themselves and create their properties just like an M P here now owns hotel, filling station & frequency modulation (FM Station) and none belongs to the region.

Let us be wise as Youth and deal with this malignant, insatiable, self-seeking M P’s and leaders in our orphan Bono & Ahafo Region, or be judged by posterity!. Failed M P’s in Bono & Ahafo Region, none can be marked 8% sadly enough… Go to the ant you lazy persons (M P’s), observe it’s ways & grow wise (Prov 6 : 6) It implies that, go & learn from your colleagues such as Afenyo Markins and the likes you admire.

Thank You.
