In politic cum allowances and salaries given to political figures, I would always refer people to America's first President, Washington.

On his day of inaugural ceremony promised not to take a penny from the people of America. Simply because the presidency was not superimposed but just a call to service.

Down here in Ghana, leaders fight over allowances and salaries given them. The recent issue is about a proposed raise in their salary amid this current high standard of living which was exacerbated by high spikes in petrol prices.

So guess you should understand me when I say politics in Africa is that type which is done in the bedroom. No leader cares about the cries of the populace.

The pertinent question here is that, what actually is the work of members of Parliament in Africa where politics is the bedroom type.

What Ghana and most African nations are lacking is strong pressure groups. Pressure groups that that would get governments on their toes and to quicken them to work reasonably.
