Many ex-MPs wallowing in poverty – Effah-Darteh

Former Member of Parliament for Berekum, Captain Nkrabeah Effah-Dartey (retd), has noted that a lot of former Members of Parliament are wallowing in abject poverty after they left parliament.

He said life at the moment is unbearable for some of the former MPs because they did not have a trade of their own before entering parliament.

He told Alfred Ocansey on the Sunrise Show on 3FM 92.7 that being a lawmaker in Ghana is not lucrative as many perceive it to be.

“The way I see them [ex-MPs] in town is not good especially those who are not professionals.

“If you go to parliament as a teacher for eight years or for four years, you don’t step in the classroom and you are relying only on your salary as an MP, if the president makes you a minister or deputy minister, maybe you will get some small allowances but when all these are cut off you have a problem,” he said.

He further said most lawmakers before entering parliament do not know that it is not a juicy job, hence get disappointed after they are voted for.

“They don’t know , apart from the glamour what else” He said.

Ghanaian nurse Ellen Asare mistakenly shares ‘raw’ video of herself meant for her boyfriend in school group

A young pretty Ghanaian nurse known as Ellen Asare has mistakenly released a very raunchy video of herself meant for her boyfriend in her school group and its already causing wildfire on the internet. It’s not clear who leaked the video to other platforms and why anyone would like to disgrace someone they attended the same school with on a National level but I guess if Ellen didn’t record the video in the first place, there wouldn’t be any video to trend.     The Ghana Health Service and the Ministry of Health are yet to comment on the misconduct of the young nurse like they did with the nurse who shook her backside in her uniform.   Ellen Asare is likely to lose her license as a medical practitioner, lose her job, and might even lose her boyfriend for whom she recorded the video for in the first place. Due to the policies of this website, we cannot upload the video here but since it’s already trending, you will surely chance upon and watch it somewhere. Source: ghsplash
