Politicians to swear by ‘eggs and schnapps’ instead of ‘Quran and Bible’
Nana Otom, a renowned fetish at Asante -Juaben in the Ashanti region has suggested that public office holders swear by the Oath of deities or shrines to assume office.
“Politicians are no longer scared of swearing with the Bible or Qur’an and would always lie under the Oath and take their own ways, after occupying their portfolios.
*Speaking in an interview with Asona Dehyie Kwateng,* Nana Otom said, Ghana has seen many past governments and Heads of State come and go, yet at the end of every tenure, the citizens complain and bemoan the lack of quality of life all the time.
According to the fetish Nana Otom the standards of living of the people have barely changed with their toils increasing as most government officials cruise around in super-charged four-wheel drives.
The truth about all these is that during their swearing-in sessions, they are made to swear by the symbols of their religion.
They swear to tell the truth and be honest on all occasions while performing their duties in favour of Ghana.
Even the President and his Vice swear by either the Bible or the Quran and have both pledged to defend the constitution of the land and protect the public purse and serve in the interest of Ghana.
But, at the end of every tenure, it is either party ‘A’ blaming party ‘B’ or vice versa. It is time for politicians to swear by ‘eggs and schnapps’ instead of ‘Quran and Bible to save the nation from wastage of funds and resources.
