Veteran politician and business consultant, Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom says he did not venture into politics with the single objective of enriching himself.<\/p>\n

According to him, the decision to enter into politics should be\u00a0inspired by the motivation to serve the nation.<\/p>\n

The crave to occupy a political office in the country has become for many, the plain sailing for acquiring wealth and making\u00a0a good living.<\/p>\n

But that desire can only \u201cget you hungry\u201d, the torchbearer for the Progressive People\u2019s Party (PPP), an offshoot of the Convention People\u2019s Party (CPP), stated on the Super Morning Show on Joy FM, Tuesday, August 22, 2017.<\/p>\n

The business consultant who owns chains of businesses operating under the Group Nduom brand stated he is not into politics to make money.<\/p>\n

The former Member of Parliament for the Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abirem constituency of the Central Region was emphatic: \u201cPolitics cannot make one pesewa for me\u201d reiterating that politics for him is for \u201cpublic service\u201d.<\/p>\n

He told Nhyira Addo, host of the programme before deciding to do politics, his preoccupation was to \u201ctake care of business first\u201d and feeling satisfied after, he offered himself up for public service through politics.<\/p>\n

He observed that \u201cright now in Ghana politics is number one\u201d therefore, his call for those with that kind of mentality to \u201cremove that from our table\u201d.<\/p>\n

His counsel for up and coming politicians is to ensure they first achieve success in life so that they do not have to \u2018beg\u2019 to make a living when they are out of government.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can get hungry [and] I don\u2019t want to be a hungry desperate person\u2026That [politics] is something that you do when you\u2019ve accomplished something,\u201d the former minister in the J.A Kufuor government said.<\/p>\n
