He disclosed this when speaking on Accra based Starr FM while analysing the U.S Midterm elections.
“You cannot put your hand on 150 members of parliament who are dedicated and committed and always in the house to do the work. This is because; the constituents think the good MP is the one who is able to dish out to them so most members of the House have resorted to engaging in other businesses so they can continue to meet the financial demands of their constituents,” he explained.
