Politicians seldom open up to the public about all situations in their lives, especially those that shamed them into changing a bad habit in one way other.
The Majority Leader, Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu has however opened up about a day he was soaked in shame at a public event over an incident involving his little son.
In an interview with Joy News, the Majority leader revealed the occasion was his 60th anniversary when his little son was called upon to the tell the crowd something special about his father, and to the shock of all present, the little boy asked the gathering to persuade his father (The Majority Leader) to come home early and spend time with the family.
The Majority leader confessed his embarrassment about the episode. “I was so shame-faced”, the seasoned NPP Lawmaker said with sadness in his face.
“The earliest time I leave my office is 9pm but the usual time I leave is 10pm or 11pm and to that extent you wont have quality time with your family and my wife is always complaining, and I was so much shame-faced when last year into my 60th year anniversary the opportunity was given to my children to come and say something about me and the event. The young boy who came said to all of them that they should persuade his father ‘to come home early and spend time with the family, he is not having time family'”, the Suame MP and Minister of Parliamentary Affairs recounted.
“I was so shame-faced. Ever since then I changed. Before then I use to leave home around 5:30am and quarter to 6 to get to the office around 6am, 6:30am. Sometimes when I decide to go to the constituency, or probably attend a workshop over the weekend they don’t get to see me at all.. sometimes about a month and they haven’t seen their dad which certainly is not the best. I am cutting down my busy schedule”, he said.

All politicians should note that politics is a timeline business. It cannot replace your family life and their happiness. The earlier you listen to your family the better. After ending your political career, all friends will abandon you. And those who will stay with you under all circumstances are your family.
Why insult the man if you have nothing in common with him. Is it not true that even those of us who are not Parliamentarians find it difficult to spend quality time with our families at the expense of being busy at work? Please its a very insightful moment he shared with us and it simply means we should make time to be with the people we love most - our families
And do want us to applaud you? Your human relations is very bad and the way you carry yourself does not serve as a good measure for up and coming legislators. If your family wants you home, please retire and be with them.
Shame Mugabe that’s enough message to step down and let someone too enjoy some. There’s no way you will keep standing if the place is not sweet.
60 years and still have a "little son"? kwer my man is still active
that is your business!!
