Joe Appiah who\u2019s a two term MP lost his seat to\u00a0Nana Akua Owusu Afriyieh [incumbent MP] in the NPP\u2019s Parliamentary Primaries in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>He exited Parliament on midnight of January 6, 2017 after the expiration of the Fifth Parliament of the Fourth Republic.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on Agoo TV, Hon. Joe Appiah who says he\u2019s not been treated fairly told Yensenpa show Host, Bonohene Baffour Awuah that he\u2019ll settle for any job given him by the President.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201dSome of us who toiled to bring this party to power have been sidelined with respect to appointments. After bringing 55,000 votes to the constituency no one was bothered to call me after the party came to power. Some others who didn\u2019t labour are the ones enjoying now. It\u2019ll take God to touch the heart of President Akufo Addo to give me an appointment.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Asked by the host what sort of job he\u2019s hoping for, Hon. Joe Appiah said \u2018<em>\u2018any job I\u2019m offered by the President, I\u2019m ready to do. I\u2019m there to serve my nation. Even if he asks me to sweep the Flagstaff House, I\u2019ll do that. Even if I\u2019m asked to polish the President\u2019s shoes for a fee, I\u2019m ready to do that. I\u2019m serious about what I\u2019m saying.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WfgDZJR0vq0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Ablekuma North, Justice Joe Appiah, appears to be in desperate search for a political appointment from President Akufo-Addo as he\u2019s indicated he\u2019s ready to even take up a sweeping job at the seat of government, Flagstaff House.
