After telling me all his struggles, I advised and decided to help with some rice and cash without his knowledge. He asked for my number and I told him I wanted to excuse myself to get him the number. Just when I made a step from him, I shockingly heard from behind me “eyaa kae na fa Lorry fare kaho wae” to wit, “ please add Lorry fare”. I laughed and shook my head.

According to Sosu, being a legislator in Ghana means more than contributing to bills, filing questions and making statements and arguments on the floor of Parliament.

"It also means having time to participate in the daily lives of the people. You become their doctor, their lawyer, their financier, their employer or connector to jobs, their uncle, father, grandfather, pastor and sometimes 'their god'", he said.
