Lord have mercy. It is funny that Hon. Sam Okudzeto Ablakwa has found his hallowed patriotic gospel in these torrid times.
Indeed, not just in Ghana, the weight of the pandemic has taken a sorry toll on economies worldwide and the need for some measures is key.
Our internationally acclaimed President has shown leadership. He has relinquished his salary and did not ask for a pay cut. President Akufo-Addo has shown the way.
We had been in some difficult times before when he was in government. Is it the case for him that when the honey is sweet, thoughtful thinking disappears?
When he was asked as Dep. Education Minister to cancel the Research Allowances of thousands of teachers across the country for lack of funds, Ablakwa did not reduce his paycheck.
He did not stop receiving free fuel, he did not ask his numerous Tein Hangers on to go home.
When Ablakwa was confronted with the difficult financial problem of Dumsor, he did not stop taking fuel into his numerous SUVs.
He did not quit recieving his juicy allowances from the executive and from Parliament. The list goes on and on. He took huge car loans amidst difficulties.
We still pay legacy debts.
If he wants to help, he can throughout his term from 2008 to 2016 refund half of his salaries and pay back his allowances to government.
We are not ready for the politics of convenience that he is always interested in pushing. If he cannot do that, he should wash and sanitize his hands and stay home.
That's what Ghanaians expect from him not cheap petty talk.

The GHC6 million propaganda money approved by parliament for the NPP government is at work.
When the Ndc was in power they squandered the ten million euros Ebola fund and they took double salaries. yet they cancelled nursing & teacher trainees allowances and lavished on Ghanaians Dumsor whilst they enjoyed travelling to DUBAI WITH THEIR CO´HORTS If they wants to help, they can throughout their term from 2008 to 2016 refund half of all the double salaries and pay back their allowances to government.
Who is being petty thelse npp guys forget so soon I thank God that I am alive to witness this super incompetent president and his under achiever 130 ministers displaying thir ignorance when it comes to governance what is dis Guy talking about all the possible avenues haf all been exhausted so is about de heritage fund npp crating avenue to chop our money is their preoccupation not the issue of national interest if a president is so mindful of covid 19 why allow NIA to work under such a serious outbreak Ghanaians wise up somebody want to finished all the money we haf open your eyes Ghanaians
What is wrong if Ablakwa tell his mind ? You guys must stop the insult . Even Nana Addo is not always right!, anyway where is the $ 100 million he intended to fight the coronavirus? He should rather be honest .
Someone should donate sanitizer to Ablakwa so he can sanitize his mouth and sharp teeth.
I HAVE SAID IT, NOT ALL MPs ARE WISE. SOME ALWAYS LIE THROUGH THEIR GAPING TEETH.
This same Ablakwa was attacking the government that it has abandoned Ghanaian students and other nationals in China during the beginning of the pandemic. These NDC hollow minds must be ignored.
