Some residents of the Obuasi West constituency in the Ashanti Region have prayed for the passing of Kwaku Kwarteng, their representative in parliament, in order to force a by-election and prompt President Akufo-Addo and his vice, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, to visit the constituency and launch development initiatives.
Residents who spoke with Onua TV claim that a by-election is the only thing that will compel politicians to develop a particular constituency after an MP passes away.
Their prayer comes after the unexpected construction projects, such as the road constructions begun in Kumawu in the Ashanti Region prior to a by-election there, and the subsequent construction projects taking place in Assin North constituency in the Central Region.

Dear God;
Hear the cry off the suffering masses. Me too, I want you to do-the-do to my MP, Ursula Owusu. She's very useless!🙏 pic.twitter.com/ozAdylmB00

In a video that has gone viral online, the locals can be heard applauding a woman as she addresses the camera, suggesting that she was speaking their minds.
Oliver Barker-Vormawor, the #FixTheCountry movement’s convener, claimed in a different report that some judges appointed to the Supreme Court only do so to secure their retirement plans and perform below par.
He claims that the judges of the highest court in the land are the supreme authorities in law and should conduct in-depth analyses and judgments on cases that are presented to them, but this has not always been the case.
He believes that the judges’ routine unanimity in ruling on the majority of cases in recent years reeks of laziness and is evidence that some of them prioritize their pay and retirement benefits over the actual work for which they are being paid handsomely.
“You cannot be an Article 71 office Holder; receive a golden handshake of over 2 million cedis when you retire; continue to retire on your existing salary; then choose to be lazy when it’s time to work,” Barker-Vormawor wrote on his Facebook page on Tuesday, June 6, 2023.
“Our Supreme Court’s unanimous decisions are routine and thus products of reckless laziness; not conviction.
This is what happens when people go to the Supreme Court to secure their retirement plans because SSNIT doesn’t pay.
“In all self-respecting democracies, unanimous decisions by the highest Court of the land are exceptional not the default. Unanimous decisions are rare and are intended to carry moral weight in critical and important cases such as Brown vrs Board of Education. Routine Unanimity impoverishes the law. Doesn’t enhance it!”
