African politicians can lie too much – Muntaka

Alhaji Muntaka Mohammed Mubarak, MP for Asawase in Ashanti, says African politicians lie due to pressure.

“Most people do not trust politicians again. Fortunately, I’m a member of the Pan African Parliament and from my perspective, it will take us another century to develop.”

He continued “because of pressure we tell a lot of lies as Politicians and because of that turnover is very high. In all African Parliaments, the average turnover is one term. You can’t develop a country when Parliamentarians spend one term”.

Muntaka Mohammed said that because MPs may be removed after one term, they would concentrate on securing their pensions.

“Politicians often lie. You lie to get power. Politicians don’t ask. MPs grieve because they didn’t realize what it takes to be an MP.

Muntaka Mohammed says people should analyze politicians’ pledges to eliminate lying.
