What Is Wrong With Ewe Politicians?

National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament (MP) for Ketu North and Chairman of the Finance Committee, James Klutse Avedzi, has told Ghanaians to stop complaining about hikes in fuel prices.According to him, if users of private vehicles can't afford to buy fuel to service their cars due to the introduction of new taxes, nothing stops them from joining 'trotro'( public transport) to work if they so desire.

If this sounds familiar to you, maybe then you are not amongst the Ghanaians President Mahama calls as memory deficient citizens. We have heard this before from another Politician from Volta region almost exactly to the same day this snollygoster of a shyster James Klutse Avedzi said.

On Jan.-13, 2015, NDC communicator Eric Ametor Quarmyne who is also a consultant for the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) said almost the same thing. He told Ghanaians to ride a bicyles to work if they cannot afford fuel and I quote; "NDC communicator, Eric Ametor Quarmyne has called on Ghanaian car owners to park their cars and ride on bicycles to work if they cannot afford to buy fuel for their cars." Mr Ametor Quarmyne yoho was in response of government fuel price reduction of 10% when fuel price on the world market had gone down 50% and Ghanaians were demanding further price reduction.

Folks, from Bicycles to "trotro", that is an improvement and maybe in January 2017, another yahoo from Volta region will tell us to park our cars and join the Metro Transit Bus if by then we are lucky to still have the Mahama pictures on those buses as government owned and not Selassie Ibrahim personal private company buses.

Now let's analyze how stupid the two Ewe Politicians are especially that of the Member of Parliament from Ketu North and Chairman of the Finance Committee, James Klutse Avedzi. What does Mr Avedzi think the Trotro buses run on? The Trotro buses does not run on water and even if it does, his government recently increased taxes on water around 57% so water is not free either.

Secondly, and the most important point is that, those people with private cars are not the ones who are going to be affected most by the increase in petrol prices, these people can afford to fuel their private cars like him Avedzi. Telling citizens to park their cars and join the Trotro line is a velleity. If Mr Avedzi is not aware, it is the poor workers who are going to borne the brunt of the petrol price increase as those trotro owners are going to increase their transportation fares.

Why is it always the Ewe Politicians who come out with this disrespectful statements when citizens complain about increase in petroleum products in the country? Doesn't the price increase affect people in Volta region too? Are the people in Volta region get special chips they use to buy petrol at reduced price that other Ghanaians are not aware of? Why are people from Volta region silent when this man made that diarrhea of the mouth statement?

Am I missing something? Does the Ewes pay cheaper price for petrol in Ghana? 'MP James Klutse Avedzi is disconnected from his constituents and the common man. If it were not so he would have realized that it is the trotro riders and farmers - the non-vehicle owning populace who are crying loudest about the fuel price hikes, as they are the ones who have the burden of carrying the trickle down price hikes, not the well-to-do middle class who drive their own cars.

This fool is so stupid he does not know what the people are complaining about as with regards to they having to bear the brunt of Mahama's incompetence, corruption and mishandling of the economy.

How can we pay more for petrol today when the world price of oil is below $40 per barrel, as compared to 2007 and 2008 when the world price of oil was $147 per barrel? What the people are being asked to pay is not the fair price of oil, but to make for the gaping hole in the budget created by the stealing of Mahama and his army of thieves.'

It is not fair to ask Ghanaians to buy petrol at GHc 16.00 a gallon when a barrel of petrol is being sold at the world market at $37.00. Petrol in Ghana should not sell more than ten cedis a gallon when the minimum wage in Ghana is like eight cedis a day. I just filled my tank at a Texaco gas station here in Houston, Texas at $1.69 a gallon, that is less than seven cedis a gallon.

It is cruel and inhumane to ask poor workers some of whom earn just eight cedis a day to spend about three cedis on transport fare on Trotro Mr Avedzi stupidly believes runs on fumes.

It is cruel and inhumane on this government to corruptly give more than GHc30,000 per bus to a Party apparatchik to brand buses and then ask a poor worker some of whom earn less than GHc 200.00 a month to subsidize petrol prices so that this incompetent and useless thieving administration can have more money to give to people like Selassie Ibrahim, Woyome, Roger Agambire of RLG, etc for no work done.

In any democratic and advanced country, a member of Parliament and for that matter any person holding a political position like Ametor and Avedzi would have been forced out of their positions by their own government or constituents if they did not resign but this is Mahama's Ghana where every nonsense is acceptable.

James Klutse Avedzi is a disgrace to the people of Ketu North but he is representing a constituency where even a yellow dog on NDC ticket can win the constituency by just barking so he can afford to make such a stupid and insulting statement to Ghanaians.
