"If you are able to provide the means for something to be done, don’t do it yourself, spend your time on something else", that's the position of legal practitioner Ace Ankomah. According to the litigator, performing any task including household chores should be a choice and not an imposition.
Speaking to GhanaWeb editor Kwabena Kyenkyenhene Boateng on ‘21 minutes with KKB’, the Managing Partner for Bentsi-Enchill, Letsa and Ankomah revealed that though he is very good with house chores, he will not spend time on it because he believes his time will be better spent on other duties.
He is of the view that there's no point wasting time on something your money can do for you.
“Why will I pick a broom or a brush to sweep unless I want to?” he quizzed.
He added, "...If the means exists for it to be done why should I?...if you're able to provide the means for a thing to be done don't do it yourself. Spend your time on something else"
Ace Ankomah who was speaking about the debate on the role of wives, noted that people who feel fulfilled doing household chores can go ahead and do it but he won’t bother himself with it. He believes his decision 'helps create employment' thus he will not proceed to work on chores even though he can.
“I know how to clean a toilet bowl with a toothbrush. I know where to apply the parazone and everything, but I’ve taught you how to do it, why will I do it. It creates employment so why will I do it”.

You are RIGHT. If your wage per hour is GH¢1,000.00 for instance, you would lose money if you used that hour to do something which attracts a wage of say, GH¢300.00 per hour. You would rather hire someone whose hour wage is GH¢300.00 or lower to do that for you. You only need to ensure that the one does it well to specification. If you trained for six years to be a doctor would you use that qualification to be a labourer?
Hello Ace. Well understood. But it is as well important to emphasize that you pay for the job to be done to your set standards rather than done anyhow. Supervision to keep the standards up cannot be discounted in any home worth its sort.
