    This is one of the reason why I don't want to venture into frontline politics. It takes everything away from you including your family. I understand you but you later also miss parliament since you tasted it before.

    Many of the misleading comments to her comments in this article also give that erroneous impression that it must be a great thing to be in politics and that the former MP is hiding her true feelings after losing the election. ...

    It was a response to a call to continue with the work her husband left.
    A call to serve the living
    A call to serve humanity and she was right in responding to the call

  • GH8 11 months ago

    This idea that anytime an MP passes on his wife should be 'forced' or encouraged to contest for the seat should be looked again. This woman probably would have loved to remain in her profession as police officer and maybe ma ...

    That's why I love the NPP and the members. After elections they take it cool because they don't see themselves as professional politicians like, let me shut my mouth for ones. They go back to their real life professions and a ...

  • Thief of Staff - Akosua Frema 11 months ago

    You are lying. You are a big fool to have resigned from the police service where you held the rank of an Assistant Commissioner of Police.

    Well done Mom

  • Cion 11 months ago

    She is telling lies. If she knew politics was not giving her time, why didn't she resign but choose to contest again?
    This defeat has affected many mps mentally.

    Why did you contest in the first place, Madam? Liar!!!!!!

  • Joe 11 months ago

    Unfortunately your life as a politician hasn't ended yet. You need to hand over as minister and also you have a few days left to serve as mp. Sorry you were forced into this on the passing away of your dear husband.

    You have been a failure to npp. You are happy to lose your seat so you can move on with your life. You should have resign to hold your dignity.

  • Kwadwo 11 months ago

    Why did you contested in the first if all these factors were known to you. You just lost the election and that is all.

    I was equally surprised when you decided to replace your late husband in Parliament.
