  • Before & After 10 years ago

    Politicians are so greedy and selfish that they don't consider the effects of their foul words. And they call themselves leaders.

  • K O 10 years ago

    I think the problem is not the words used (very detestably though) but the the council member who leaked it.

  • KKD 10 years ago

    What are they meeting over? The Bible, an unequal source book of all time, says "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks" Matt.12:34
    So nobody should be surprised about Osafo Marfo speaking what is welling up in h ...

    AT THIS POINT IN TIME THE NPP MUST SACRIFICE OSAFO MARFO FOR POLITICAL EXPEDIENCE. HE HAS GOOFED AND MUST PAY FOR HIS FOLLY. IF NANA ADDO FAILS TO DO THIS, THEN I AM CONVINCED HE DOES NOT WANT TO BE PRESIDENT.
