This article answers the question: What is a politician's purpose? In Ghana, everyone is an expert in politics. But is everyone really an expert? This article is based on research and my over 15 years experience in political activism.  Paramza Kofi Hamza Maiga   Service to the people vrs Power over the people: People want to know if a politician will be around to serve the people, or he will enjoy power and forget the people.

RMV Treatment Meted Out to Members of Parliament by Police, Electoral Commission Embarrassing Samed Akalilu   Accra, 23rd December, 2020 Respect My Vote Movement condemns in no uncertain terms the disgusting and contemptuous treatment meted to Honourable Members of Parliament who marched to the offices of the Electoral Commission on Tuesday 22nd December 2020. Videos of the incidents that went viral show how overzealous police officers tried to prevent Members of Parliament from presenting their petition to the Electoral Commission. Electoral Commission officials also failed to come out and receive the petition from the Honourable Members of Parliament citing short notice.

The IGP must also be hauled before Parliament t...

A post on the Facebook wall of Paramza Kofi Hamza reads: Paramza Kofi Hamza (Communication Director For MP Elect for the Adentan,Mohammed Adamu Ramadan, right) Let me use this medium to congratulate the MP elect for the Adentan Constituency, Hon. Mohammed Adamu Ramadan for his victory over YB with more than 14,000 difference and also winning the presidential election in Adentan for JM with more than 8000 difference. In fact, I am even happier because he delivered the Constituency for JM. Let's move on.  It all started when one day in December 2018, he placed a call to me and invited me to his house. He told me he had heard that I have moved from Madina to Adenta so he needed my total support as he intended to stage a comeback. I  asked him what kind of support he wanted from me and he said, he wanted me to handle his entire communication.  Actually, when I started, he had many calls to be careful of Hamza. After he won the primaries, he asked me one day, "bro, I am really surp...
