Dr Stephen Amoah, the member of parliament for Nhyiaeso, has said that the moment one decides to go into politics, that individual will suffer.
The lawmaker likened politics to Christianity, noting that it requires self-sacrifice and a commitment to the collective good.
He, however, acknowledged that the financial benefits may arise from political service, adding that integrity and transparency must remain central to leadership.
Speaking on Starr FM, Stephen Amoah noted that politics comes with insults and being poor.
The Nhyiaeso MP stated, “You know the bible saying that the moment you want to take Christ, it means you are for going yourself, that is how politics is. The moment you decide to do politics, you ask people to give you their mandate, to serve them, which means that you will suffer.
They will insult you, you will be poor, because that is what you told them you are going to do, but is that what we are doing generally?
When we are left alone with God, are we sure that I am the MP of Nhyiaeso, and it is not because I want to be rich? If I marry in the near future, I want my wife to drive good cars, and I want my children to go to good schools. So, I will work hard if in doing politics the opportunity comes and it is not corruption, I will take it, I am also a human being”.
Stephen Amoah, however, added that a lot of people today go into politics seeing it as an enterprise for power and prosperity.
He added. “But I don’t have to be in politics because I see it as an enterprise, a lot of people today see it as an enterprise to them, power and prosperity. I call it the EPP module, Enterprise, Power and Prosperity. I could be wrong, but that is what I see. Because of that, we don’t go beyond our personal interests to serve society.
Even in America, there is corruption. I will never come and sit here and say I am an Angel. Apart from Christ, no one is perfect, but I think predominantly profoundly our actions and inactions should be entirely geared to a large extent to serving people, and if you can do that, integrity is key, honesty is key, open culture system is key, transparency is key, make sure you don’t deceive people because one day you will be judge”, Stephen Amoah added.
Meanwhile, Stephen Amoah, in a separate interview, has said the former Assin Central lawmaker, Kennedy Agyapong, is the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) strongest chance of winning the 2028 elections.
According to him, Dr Bawumia is a capable leader, but Kennedy Agyapong stands out as the NPP’s stronger contender for 2028.
He detailed that electoral outcomes in Ghana are not just influenced by government performance.
Speaking on Citi FM’s Eyewitness News on August 26, Stephen Amoah stated, “I don’t think I have questioned the competence of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia before. Never. My issue is about the high probability of NPP winning or losing the election in 2028. It is not about competence. In winning an election in Ghana, it doesn’t depend only on performance.
“There are a number of factors that will actually impact; they correlate with different degrees, and most of them do not necessarily mean you have performed well or not. We have geographical voting. I have analysed these things and I think our chance of winning with Kennedy Agyapong will be higher,” he stated.
Additionally, Dr Stephen Amoah has said the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will bounce back in 2028 under the leadership of the former lawmaker Kennedy Agyapong.
According to Dr Stephen Amoah, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will return to power in the 2028 elections under Kennedy Agyapong.
Speaking on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem, Dr Stephen Amoah stated, “After losing the elections, we are still in the process of re-configuring the party. We have admitted our defeat, and now we need to analyse why we lost so we can make the necessary adjustments. The NPP will surely bounce back, and we will win the 2028 elections under Kennedy Agyapong,” he said.
“It’s not about propaganda; the NPP is better than the NDC. Kennedy Agyapong has no incidents of corruption and has done a lot for the country using his own money. So, what makes us think he can’t lead the country? he asked.
For us, it’s about performance, not propaganda, and it is Kennedy Agyapong’s time. He is the only candidate with a well-defined policy specifically for activists and grassroots members, known as Ken’s Grassroots and Welfare Policy,” Dr Amoah added.
