Traditional leaders of Koniyaw, a community located within Bekwai Constituency of Ashanti region have cursed the lineage of Ghana’s First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Hon. Joseph Osei-Owusu a.k.a “Joe Wise”.
Chief for the town Nana Boamah Koni Ababio IV has made claims that of all the years of Joe Wise’s delivery as the Member of Parliament for the area, he has performed abysmally and cannot be praised like Hon. KT Hammond.
He hit the nail right on the head, saying considering the litany of developmental challenges suffocating a great number of communities within the constituency, Hon. Joe Wise proved futile in addressing them and for that reason there is no way he would have won the NPP parliamentary primaries or a general election if he had contested again.
According to the Chief, “Joe Wise would have been disgraced”.
Premising his critique on the poor performance of the Member of Parliament, the Chief said that Hon. Joseph Osei-Owusu has “spoiled his record” and for that reason nobody from his lineage can become an MP at Bekwai constituency.
“No son, daughter or a relative of Joe Wise will be voted for if they contest as Parliamentary candidate at Bekwai Constituency”, he cursed.
“Joe Wise’s name is an abomination to Koniyaw community.
They whole community will get up and walk away at the mention of the name Joe Wise”.
The Chief contrasted that, unlike Hon. Joseph Osei-Owusu, Hon. KT Hammond is much loved by the people of his Constituency.
“He has served for many years because of his good performance
They don’t joke with him at all.
He has tarred many roads in his constituency and who do you think can win in a contest against a person like KT Hammond.
Your good deeds will follow you and so shall your bad deeds”, he said
Nana Boamah koni Ababio IV made this statement when the NPP parliamentary candidate for the area, Lawyer Ralph Poku-Adusie paid a courtesy call on him on Thursday, 18th July, 2024.
