How did this idiot find his way to Parliament? This fool who brags about being a multi millionaire who should have come out to condemn this plain thievery is talking like a deranged moron that he is about the job of MP being like a toilet carrier. Who is this gaumless moron kidding? Any normal human being who believes the job of a Parliamentarian is like a Toilet Carrier and still campaign hard to be employed as one as this blabber loudmouth Agyapong is saying despite his money is a worthless idiot.

If a Parliamentarian job is like a Toilet Carrier, I urge Kennedy Agyapong to quit this job since it is 'beneath' his class as the Ghana premier millionaire. What a curse this idiot is to Ghanaians.

Your own Kwabre area, do you peep to take a closer look? I have been there many times because I have employed in the past some of your relatives. Have you seen their sewer and waste system? Do you know the people of Amoako have to pay for the ground water they drink? Maybe some of the increment you personally received could have given them a free water well without hitting your pocket. Do you know the number of truant children I have to take to school with convincing messages and the duly help I can? Do you know in your own village, people still shit on the (wheetem)? I child fell in the other time and died. Perhaps if you politicians had a heart you would have given back to the people what they invested in you. You think your intelligence, your education and your wellbeing now is by your hard work and your family support alone? The environment and the society contributed the most.

All you politicians could cheat steal, embezzle and in so doing become as rich as ever, but you are just as poor as the environment around you which you have left in tartars. Do you think it’s OK to increase your salaries threefold and over and back date this even still? At the neglect of public infrastructure and even with the coffers the nation doesn’t have but to beg and borrow loans to pay this increment. The fact that the public cannot do anything about it to stop it does not take them for fools. However, we are fools not to have any checks and balances to bring you monsters to accountability.

You described politicians very well as toilet carriers except you forgot one aspect. The later are by far better than you, for they contribute to the society’s wellbeing, cleanliness and hygiene whilst politicians join in to shit and steal the payments due to clean up their mess. So please resist and desist from comparing yourselves to the toilet carriers, the nation’s health can never be adequate enough without them. Don’t laugh at them at all, God looks down at their contributions to the society and he smiles at them. But for you and your counterparts, your graves and coffins would be hotter more inside than hell itself.

I have yet to see a toilet carrier who gets a gratuity of GhC275K after receiving fat salary of GhC7400 monthly for four years with all the allowances that comes with it. These guys talk SHIT from their rectum trying to defend their thievery. Ken who? What a joker before the lord! You are not under duress or obligation to pay for anything for irresponsible adults except you want to buy their votes.

There is a void in Ghanaian politics which is why we have these blockheads sitting in our parliament. It is high time this circumstance change. The ineptness of our MPs is in correlation with how they talk. Most of them are totally overwhelmed and incompetent. In fact the correlation between their mind and brain is like 4 years old.

CARDINAL SARPONG CHURCH IN PARLIAMENT"

Rev Cardinal Sarpong a minister told his MP congregation, "Next week I plan to preach about the sin of lying. To help you understand my sermon, I want you all to read Mark 17."

The following Sunday, as he prepared to deliver his sermon, the minister asked for a show of hands. He wanted to know how many MPS had read Mark 17. Every hand went up. The minister smiled and said, "Mark has only 16 chapters. I will now proceed with my sermon on the sin of lying and all of you have become pen Armed Robbers and these is what I am condemning with Akadu and soon you will be stealing the toilet seat."

"But speaking to the issue on Okay FM’s morning show, Hon. Agyapong cautioned those on strike not to envy the monies given to parliamentarians since they deserve their due."

What an insult to the poor Ghanaians who voted for this asshole. He sees this as envy?

I am really surprised it is the NPP idiots in Parliament or former MP's who are at the forefron defending this stupidity and they want Ghanaians to put them back in power?

Ndc MP's have been quiet because they are smart to know that this policy is not popular amonst Ghanaians but look at the people defending this looting,

Kofi Jumah, former NPP MP

Mike Oquaye, former NPP MP

Kennedy Agyapong, NPP MP for Assin

This is really sad how when it comes to looting, that is the only time the opposition and the ruling party sing the same song and march in sync.

The only way to clean this sewage in parliament and the Flagstaff house is a coup and nobody should blame the Military if they step in.

Unfortunately what Agyapong does not yet realize is that Ghana is still and will continue to be a 3rd World country for the foreseeable future until such people like him change their both mentality and thinking politically.

In any Developed Country, there is nothing like ex-gratis being paid to MPs. Why after all they received their monthly salaries. If then what and why the hell a country that depends on foreign aid to support their yearly Budgets paying such large sums of money to its MPs. The most shameful thing is that even continuing MPs are are still being paid these monies why? It does it means that after serving four mores years in Parliament, these MPs will shamefully accept more such awful payments. If Ken Agyapong has the interest of Ghana at heart he will rather have suggested to all his Parliamentary colleagues they should forgo all these payments. This large sums of money could have being used to defray some of the arrears owed to the Professional strikers in the country.

In reality and until Ghana Governments who are put into power by the people face the real situation in proper governance nothing will ever change. How does a Government give 2 Cars, Cooks, Garden Boys, Free Petrol and Bungalows to its MPs and Cabinets members in this 21st Century after the country's 56 years of independence? How does the MPs and Cabinets Members does not feel ashamed and bow their heads in shame is beyond humanity comprehension. The reason being that it is this very poor people who elected these MPs into Parliament. In a nutshell these so called Parliamentarian and Cabinet Members are just plain greedy and very watom in their actions.

Can Ken Agyapong tell the whole world what improvements he has brought into his constituency since he has been there as MP? Did Agyapong not witness recently Honourable Gill Gates visit to Ghana on his pet project of helping the worlds poor? This is a man to be honoured as he really deserved that accolade. This man has never being on radio claiming to be rich and abuse people as Ken Agyapong has done so many times on a radio station he said to own.

Just look at that awful situation in Ghana with Professionals who are more qualified to be in parliament than many current MPs. Yet in making a legitimate demand for monies owed them they are rather being abused. It is really a sad situation. Perhaps , to put this in perceptive there is a clear mismanagement going in Ghana.
The simple question is, what is Mhahama as President saying to the striking people? Does he want the world to know the MPs are important than those people who makes things happen in the country?

Personally, such ex-gratis payments are unnecessary waste of Government funds to do better things in Ghana and it must be stopped.

LATER THEY WENT TO CHEW THE KEBAB THAT WAS SERVED IN HIS HONOR. NOW THAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT FINANCIAL REWARDS FOR BEING CALLEE HONORABLE WE CAN SEE URSULA OWUSU KISSING THE MEN AT THE OPPOSITE END. ALL THESE PARLIAMENTARIANS ARE ILLITERATES. LISTEN CAREFULLY TO THEIR ENGLISH ON THE FLOOR OF THE HOUSE. LET THEM TAKE ALL THE MONEY GHANA HAS AND CONTINUE DECEIVING US. TIME WILL TELL.

quite shocking. after receiving fat montly salaries , decent accomodation and all the protocols they deserve during their job in parlianment , this is how much they are rewarded for going home after working for just 4 years . people have worked for 35 years to serve mother Ghana and thier pension is nothing to talk about . kennedy adjapong , no one has asked you to pay people 's bills and if you do so , you are the only one in Ghana who does that . with the little monthly salary out of which I pay tax every month to enrish your status in parliament , I have occasionally paid freinds bills.Indeed Ghana stinks . God have mercy on us ,the monkeys, monkey dey work , bamboo dey shop , Hmmmmm.

KEN AGYAPONG, DON'T STAND FOR ELECTION AGAIN, BECAUSE THE WORK OF A PARLIAMENTARIAN IS LIKE A NIGHT SOIL CARRIER. PEOPLE DID NOT VOTE FOR YOU TO PAY THEIR WEDDING FEES OR HOSPITAL BILLS. PEOPLE VOTED FOR YOU TO HELP IMPROVE THE STANDARD OF LIVING IN THEIR COMMUNITY. NO MP SHOULD TELL ME THAT SERVING FOR FOUR YEARS WILL AMOUNT TO OVER GHC 311,000. WHAT ABOUT SOMEBODY WHO SACRIFICE HIS LIFE IN THE ARMED FORCES FOR 38 YEARS IS PAID A RETIREMENT BENEFIT OF LESS THAN GHC 60,000. WHAT SORT OF COUNTRY IS THIS?

I thought you had some same but now you've confirmed that you have none whatsoever. The man who carried toilet did not bet, or campaign to do that, and no one calls him honourable rather dishonourable. He will never in his life-time see or hold that amount of money in his hand or in a bank account if he has one, and will never manage to send his kids to school abroad. If you think it is such a bad job then please do not solicit for my vote.

There was a boy standing on a corner selling fish.

He was saying, "Dam fish for sale, dam fish for sale."

A preacher walked up and asked why he was calling them dam fish.

The kid said, "I caught them at the dam, so they're dam fish ."

The preacher bought some, took them home and asked his wife to cook the dam fish.

His wife looked at him in bewilderment and said, "Preachers aren't supposed to talk like that."

The preacher explained why they were dam fish, and she agreed to cook them. When dinner was ready and everyone was sitting down, the preacher asked his son to pass him the dam fish.

His son replied, "That's the spirit dad. Pass the fucking potatoes!"

Hon, I like you. But now you hit right below the belt. What do you say then of a public servant who works thorughout his working carrer,say 34 years? Surely such a dedicated Ghanaian does not get that much. Are you saying your work as an MP is more demeaning than this? You work for just 4 yeras and you get C200,000? Come on, Kennedy, this is not fair. Or is it that your bread is hugely buttered in this case?

Very stupid defence. Salary is comensurate with responsibility. If being an MP is compared to carrying feaces then the salary should also be in accordance. People use the public media to propagate rubbish
