Agama the Big Lizard and the Little Fly


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 you to use your own car to run errands for me. Tell me what you want and I will do it for you. (Agama the Big Lizard sounds quite serious though with mischievous look which has been his stock of trade). 

Little Fly: Bro, all I want is a good job with good income. As a man, I want to be able to take good care of my wife and children. I will be glad if you help me in that regard.

(Two months later)

Little Fly: (soliloquying) I have not heard from my boss in a while. What is going on? In fact, I don't even know what to write on his social media platforms. Hmmm! Okay, I will be posting quotations to keep his handles active in the meantime. I think it's about time I visit OUR new office. Why hasn't boss invited me to work there? Ah well! I think I should go there myself. 

(One day Little Fly decided to visit THEIR new office in Parliament, only to be introduced to the new staff who neither resided in their constituency nor were they known to him or the constituents).

Tell organized labour we are not fools like them

Charles Bissue (Secretary, IMCIM) Akufo Addo and Dr. Bawumiah can never stop illegal mining otherwise known as galamsey. Never! Considering all the steps taken by this incompetent government since its inception in 2017 and its desire to fight illegal mining and the accompanying controversies. Only fools will believe them again! Oh yeah! But we are not fools. Maybe, some organized labour are. 😀Let me use this medium to refresh your memory a bit because it is obvious that most Ghanaians have short memory. Prof. Frimpong Boateng (former Minister of Environment) Do you recall the establishment of the Inter Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining (IMCIM)? The secretary of that committee was Charles Bissue. Do you remember how he was videoed taken bribe to facilitate illegal mining licenses? Do you remember how president Akufo Addo cleared him of any wrong doing? Have you forgotten Horace Ekow Ewusi, the former NPP regional vice chairman and how he was also indicted by Tiger Eye?

Don't give up on politics

Image
Never give up! People are observing every action you take; people are observing every word you utter. Few days ago, in a brief conversation with a comrade whose name I will not mention for now, I got to know how other people must have appreciated me without my knowledge. I thank my Creator for that.  I must confess that sometimes it is not easy even for the strongest heart. Some betrayals and disappointments hurt so much so that if you have a faint heart, you may breakdown without ever rising.  Sometimes, you ought to tell yourself you are not into politics for anyone. You are into politics for the good of the country and the people and for those who matter to you. Never let someone's bad attitude towards you push you to give up. There's no smooth path in this life. You have to push harder, harder and harder. The higher you climb, the harder you must push. Never joke with people you meet. They become your network. Your network is your networth. When you are on the other side of...
