General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress, Johnson Asiedu Nketia has disclosed that two of his children lost their jobs because of his political stance.
Mr Asiedu Nketia said his son was thrown out of his job and has been unemployed for the past three years as a result of political victimization. According to Mr. Asiedu Nketia, his son who was working with a private firm at the habour was made to resign because his resignation was the only assurance that the firm’s license will be secured. “My son is out of work. he happened to be working with a private company at the harbor. Now that private company operates with a government licence, then the management of the GPHA squeezed that private company and insisted that until my son is sacked, the licence will be withdrawn so my son had to be sacked,” he said on the AM show.
He further disclosed that his daughter has suffered a silmilar fate because she refused to implicate another person in the name of politics. “My daughter was also working with another government institution involved in auditing. Because of my children’s moral upbringing, they are very strict when it comes to speaking the truth and remaining with the facts.
“So she happened to be working with the Internal Audit Department of a government institution. She was sent on an assignment and given instructions to find something to implicate an innocent person for political reasons and she said she cannot do it. “So she refused to do it and when she came back from the assignment, they had taken her from one head office to some district branch in Greater Accra and when she went there the manager [at the district branch] said ‘there is no desk for you’,” Mr Asiedu added.
Mr Asiedu Nketia, popularly known as General Mosquito has been the General Secretary of the opposition NDC, from 2005 to date.
Although he described the incident as unfortunate, he stated that his children have suffered political victimization because of his commitment to his party.

People have suffered similar fate with no known political affiliation under your ndc administration. It's no news
Seriously it’s about time we campaign for employment of our wards, especially those of us who pay taxes. I pay monthly tax of not less than 10,000 cedis, yet my son is unemployed. Then the politician who doesn’t pay anything gets the jobs and scholarships for their wards. I must as well be allowed to use my tax to cater for my ward.
Your unemployed son is now on scholarship in China for his PHD so who do you think you are fooling? A grown up man like you sit in a radio station and spew these lies and a lazy journalist only goads you on without subjecting your lies to strict test of proof.

My question is that, is your son qualified to hold that position? or you he was put there because of politics?
It’s soo sad to see these evil politicians milking Ghana this way. Your unemployed son is now on scholarship in China for his PHD so who do you think you are fooling?
Ananse stories. you better narrate this at the by the fire side to nursery children please.
So you get scholarships for your children even though they do not qualify but for your position . You again amass worth through your political connection while in office at the expense of Ghanaians. You help find a job for your children of which they have been earning consistence income. Through it all, you have been taking advantage at the expense of Ghanaians. Now let me ask you, what is your contribution to our quest to progress? You constantly cry wolf when we want to advance our lives (politically and socially). You wish we are moving backwards, claims of instability if your wishes are not met etc yet you are the very people who are raping Ghana in all angles. You have every right to demand all of what you are asking from Ghanaians BUT you must contribute your quota to our progress when you have the chance to. "He who seeks equity must come with equity". Where is your equity in our quest to move Ghana forward?
So you want Ghanaians to sympathized with you. When you got Bui Dam contract to supply blocks, did you ask Ghanaians to enjoy with you? You see stop this unnecessary politics.
He wants sympathy votes for the vice-presidential position
