High Attrition rate in Ghana’s Parliament
Yesterday, on the floor of Parliament, I expressed my deep concern about the high attrition rate in our Parliament. It’s not just about numbers; it’s about losing dedicated, experienced MPs who could have continued to serve our nation but are forced out by systemic challenges.
Did you know that from the 7th to the 9th Parliament, 94% of NPP MPs didn’t return? This is not sustainable. It weakens our democracy, disrupts governance, and denies us the benefits of institutional memory and experience.
Why is this happening?
• The cost of politics is crushing, leaving many MPs drained financially.
• Party primaries are often divisive and favour money over merit.
• Unrealistic expectations from constituents mean MPs are judged for things outside their role as lawmakers.
• Because we still don’t elect MMDCEs, MPs are unfairly burdened with development responsibilities.
I firmly believe we can change this. And I proposed practical solutions:
• Enforce political funding laws to reduce the influence of money.
• Introduce public funding for political campaigns and cap expenses.
• Reform primaries to focus on fairness and merit, not wealth.
• Let’s elect MMDCEs so MPs can focus on their job-making laws and representing you.
• And most importantly, educate ourselves about what MPs are supposed to do.
It’s about time we build a Parliament that works for the people and creates space for passionate, competent leaders to thrive-not just those with the deepest pockets. If we don’t fix this, we risk losing the heart and soul of governance in Ghana.
We can do better. Let’s start the conversation and push for these reforms for the love of the country

    I cast my vote at mpraeso, okyeame Yaw Baah`s place even though l come from Kwahu Amanfrom. Our major problem over there is the road network from Adowso - Kwahu Amanfrom. This road has been overlooked for a long time. I always have to go to Kwahu Amanfrom through Begoro, which is not the best. Please, u are doing well but our place has been neglected for a long time. Kwahu Amanfrom is part of Kwahu South and Mpraeso constituency but nobody cares. I was once at the place when u came there for a visit. That was when Nana Osei Sono introduced himself to u as a worker at Jubilee House Vice presidency, I thought that was enough for the two of u to work together but. ....., so in short, our road, our road, this time the grader can be used on the road to be assessed. Than u.

    A very laudable policy for Ghana. The cost of living is very high and individuals have low financial capacity to look after their wards in school. But what are the elements of cost in senior high schools? Let me just emphasize the kit that parental must buy for their wards Let's say it is Ghc 3500. Each parent must cough out the above amount in order to enjoy this free education. Some cannot afford the above amount and of course , their wards cannot enjoy this free education. What it means is that , there must be timelines for the implementation of free education so that when there is good governance, the economy would improve prices would reduce, and this Ghc3500 would, apart from kit, would be able to pay for boarding and lodging as well and parents would be proud and happy to pay for the education of their wards and children! Education with scholarship would come in to assist. Timelines are very important in monitoring and evaluation of the achievement of our set GOALS!

    Thank you very much for this education. Since the past year, I have been hunting for videos like this to no avail but thanks to you for showing it to us now. This is what the youths in Ghana need at this moment, this is where the money is. The capital and management of the farm is expensive but comparing it to the returns it is really a great investment to make, chances of losing is very very minimal. Thank you for this video once again. 👍👍
