Vote for My Beloved Papa Alhassan

Image
The book Title: Politics of Deceit, Betrayal and Unkept Promises  Excerpt of Chapter 7   (The biggest opposition party, the NDC is holding its constituency conferences to elect executives across the nation to represent its interest. A general election is held in Tondoria Constituency. The party office is crowded with people) Agama the Big Lizard: My fellow comrades, let me use this medium to thank you for your hardwork and service to our party. Thank you all! I will be very  brief. I am not going to bore you with lengthy speech. Papa Alhassan, please step forward. In this election, I want you  to vote and retain all incumbent executives (raising the hand of Chairman Papa Alhassan. The crowd could be heard booing at the background. Papa Alhassan is the incumbent chairman for Tondoria).  (An hour after the general meeting, a conversation ensued between Agama and Little Fly) Little Fly: Bro, do you think it was a good idea to make that decision. Aren't you afraid there might be backla...

Is Little Fly a rag, a nobody?

Politics of Deceit, Betrayal and Unkept Promises Excepts of Chapter 3 (People treat you exactly how they feel about you. Don't be blind. Agama is not different. He treats his workers and team members according to how he feels about them. Little Fly was not an exception. He gives a bicycle if he feels it fits you, etc) Little Fly: (to himself) I have been a loyal member of the National Democratic Congress since 1998 when I turned 18. In fact, I became NDC by virtue of my mother and sisters who identified as NDC in no other place than the strong hold of the New Patriotic Party, Ashanti Region. Growing up in my community, only my big sister and one Kaya Maame were the people I saw wearing NDC t-shirt. This did not deter me from becoming a die hard member of the NDC. I have since been a member of the NDC till today, In spite of several temptations by elements of the NPP such as Steven Amoah to cajole me to join the NPP with the promise to get me into inner circles of Akufo Addo's t...

Agama the Big Lizard and the Little Fly part 3

The book Title: Politics of Deceit, Betrayal and Unkept Promises Chapter 1 ending Little Fly: (to himself) ¢500? How? Okay, I can see that Agama actually counted my family and paid me according to our number. Myself, my wife and 3 children, you see we are five in number, meaning each of us will get ¢100 each per month. In a shock I actually phoned Agama with the intent to complain about the money, but he did not respond to the call. Of course, I knew he never picked his calls, not even calls from Mr John Dramani Mahama. I was not bothered. I decided to text him on Whatsapp. Bro, this money is woefully insufficient. Respectfully, can you do something about it? I know we are in opposition so things are a little hard but I was not expecting anything less than ¢1000. The message was blue ticked meaning he had read the message. (In spite of lodging a complaint, Agama continued paying the same amount. From the discussions, it was obvious all the staffers received the same amount with the exc...

Agama the Big Lizard and the Little Fly Part 2

This is the continuation of the chapter of my yet to be published book I shared earlier in the morning. Give me your thoughts on it. Book Title: Politics of Deceit Betrayal and Unkept Promises Author: Paramza Kofi Hamza Chapter 1 continues Agama the Big Lizard and the Little Fly (Flashback to when Agama held a meeting with his team and told them he needed someone with masters to be his research assistant. After distributing 5kg rice and few 1 litter cooking oil which did not reach everyone in the gathering, Agama proceeded to make a surprise announcement). Agama the Big Lizard: Thank you all for your kind support to me during my campaign. Without you this victory wouldn't have been possible. I want to let you know that as your member of parliament, I am entitled to choose one research assistant. This research assistant will be paid from the coffers of parliament. The eligible candidate must have masters. (The whole room was quiet as though cold water had been poured on everyone). (...

Book Title: Politics of Deceit, Betrayal and Unkept Promises Author: Paramza Kofi Hamza  Chapter 1 Agama the Big Lizard: You are my right hand man, my chief advisor and my future Eugene Arhin. I know right now I can't pay you for your sacrifices but when I win my position, I will compensate you appropriately for your hard work and sacrifices. Don't worry at all bro. (Rain or shine Little Fly followed Agama for years serving him diligently until he won his election. Little Fly served without pay or any agreed allowance. Occasionally, Agama's wife would phone Little Fly to enquire about her husband's whereabouts if she was unable to reach him. The victory came and for two months, Agama the Big Lizard did not communicate with Little Fly. Finally, Agama the Big Lizard invited Little Fly to his house. In the ensuing meeting, Agama the Big Lizard made more promises). Agama the Big Lizard: Bro, I want you to work in my office. In fact, I will get you a car. It is not fair for...

Book Title: Politics of Deceit, Betrayal and Unkept Promises Excepts of Chapter 2 Little Fly: Ei! What is happening here? Agama the Big Lizard pushing a car? A whole Agama? Ei! This must be an important person o! Who is this privileged girl? Okay, here she is! (Ijeoma is a thick fair maid in her mid twenties. Agama the Big Lizard told her to go to one of the polling stations around the Ritz Junction to enroll her name onto the new voters's register. When she parked her car, her battery ran out). Hmmm! Who is this Koforidua Flower koraa? She looks like a woman who is breastfeeding a child. Agama the Big Lizard: Bro, (to Little Fly) I want you to take her pictures and post on my Facebook handles. Make sure you give her the same prominence you give Maame Gyata. After all, there must be equality. I don't care if Maame Gyata gets angry or not.  Little Fly: Yes sir, I will do exactly that. When I am done I will send you a screenshot of the post. Thank you.  (Pushing after pushing did...
