Lawyer Maurice Ampaw has stated that politics is a game filled with evil, falsehoods and deception.
Speaking on the March 19, 2023, episode of Mmra Ne Abrao Mu Nsem on Wontumi TV, Ampaw lamented that if he had entered politics earlier, he would have died by now.
“After the death of my father, president Kufour Nana Addo, many people came to his funeral at Kukurantumi in 1995, at that time president Kufour had won the primaries to contest J.J. Rawlings.
“So, president Kuffour asked me, is that my father J.D Ampaw? And I said yes and he asked me to join them…so, if I had joined politics by then, I would have been a minister by now,” he said.
“But I realized that that, it wasn’t my call, if I had gone, I would have died early because most politicians are liars and for me, I also speak the truth always, so I decided to shun politics.
“They’ve chased me to unseat Boafo, the NPP parliamentary for Akuapim North. That’s where I come from…even in Nana Addo’s hometown if I want to become MP, I can easily win the seat at Akyem Abuakwa.
“I can easily unseat Atta Kyea… my father was the first MP for UP, he won the parliamentary seat for Busia and I ride on my father’s achievement.”
