Ras Wayo Cries-Out As He Is Badly Bitten By Bitter Ghana

Ras Wayo Cries-Out As He Is Badly Bitten By Bitter Ghana
09.01.2015 LISTEN

Ras Tetteh Wayo, the extremely acerbic young lawyer and a one-time reggae music presenter of a radio in the western regional mining town of Tawrkwa, who was consistently seen and heard making a lot of noise on at the precincts of the supreme court, and on Radio/TV during the election petition on the 2012 presidential election, has tearfully appealed to President John Dramani Mahama to help him out of his current financial predicaments.

Speaking in an interview on today's edition of OMAN-FM's newspaper review programme, Friday, 9th January, 2015, Tetteh-Wayo said he dedicated all his time and meager resources on picking taxis from his humble abode at Adenta,in Accra, to the supreme court, on each day there was a hearing so he is calling on President John Dramani Mahama to have mercy on him and dash him a small second-hand car to make his movements easy and to ease the current extreme pressure on his pot-holed distressed pockets.

He said he spends Ghc3000,monthly,on transportation alone and this is making it impossible to take care of both his elderly mother and nuclear family(wife and kids).he said a calabash of 'hausa-koko' in the mornings before going to court to hustle for 'kpa-kpa-kpa' cases is now a serious struggle.

And when asked whether it wouldn't have been prudent to have gotten in-touch with the president, privately, for the issue to have been addressed, his response was "i did the best i could but with no success".

So he was asked if he appreciates the fact that if is that difficult to see the president as a well-known member of the ruling party,then,does he think an ordinary Ghanaian living in a small village somewhere in the hinterland seeking an audience with the president can ever be successful; and his response was "well, a villager doesn't need to come to Accra to see the president because he/she is benefiting from CHIPS-compound, bore-holes, free school uniform,SADA,GYEEDA,ZOOM-LION,ZOOM-SNAKE,ZOOM-ZEBRA etc.,".

Now, this is a member of a so-called social democratic party asking for a car for himself while asking ordinary Ghanaian to be confined to the enterprise of desilting chocked-gutters and chasing grass-cutters in the bush?

Indeed, WHETHER COUNTRY BROKE, OR COUNTRY NO BROKE, WE ALL DEY INSIDE!!!
