A former\u00a0National Democratic Congress\u00a0(NDC) Member of Parliament (MP) for the La Dadekotopon Constituency,\u00a0Nii Amasah Namoale says news publications making rounds that he is \u2018financially suffering\u2019 is untrue. \u201cIn this part of our world, provisions have not been made to cater for former MPs. You won\u2019t get a job when you are looking for one. I have tried to find a job several times, but I am not getting one, so I fall into my own business. If not for the support of people who help me with something to fall on, my business, and life would have been difficult.<\/em> Source: King Edward Ambrose Washman Addo\/peacefmonline.com\/ghana<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Featured Video\n<\/p>\n

He told NEAT FM<\/strong>\u2019s morning show, ‘Ghana Montie’<\/strong>, that his interview with Accra-based Adom TV was twisted to mock him.

\u201cIt is never true that I said I am suffering, I don\u2019t know why some Journalists would want to tarnish your reputation after granting them an interview,\u201d<\/em> he noted.

In a widely circulated publication, Nii Amasah Namoale was reported to have bemoaned the lack of state provision for former legislators, which has led to some of them facing a lot of hardships.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/em>
\u201cIf you do everything right for the state, if you do everything right for the people, [they\u2019ll help you]. Those I helped while I was a minister\u2026I didn\u2019t take any money from them for contracts, permits, licenses\u2026once in a while, these people come and give me money for support,\u201d<\/em> he was reported to have said.

But in an interview to refute the claims, he told NEAT FM<\/strong>\u2019s morning show host, Kwesi Aboagye that he is not \u201cbroke\u201d as claimed.

\u201cI never said I am looking for money for food. I spend money educating my children for years. The Journalist doctored the tape. This is so unfair. All that the Journalists said in the publication was not true,\u201d<\/em> he lamented.
\u00a0
Adding that, \u201cI tried looking for a job, but I did not get any, that does not make me a pauper. I never said I am a pauper.\u201d<\/em>

The unhappy Nii Amasah Namoale, however, appealed to the government to put a mechanism in place that will help \u201cnot me but all former MPs to at least get jobs when they leave parliament.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
