For a man who built his image on bold public commentary, fearless criticism and loud political opinions, many expected A Plus to become one of the most vocal lawmakers in the House.
His silence in Parliament has therefore left many people confused, with some even wondering if politics has changed him.
But according to him, there is a reason behind it.
A Plus shared reason for his Parliament silence
A Plus has explained that his silence in Parliament is not because he lacks ideas or confidence to speak. Rather, he says it is a conscious decision based on what he now believes truly matters.
Speaking on the issue, he made it clear that he is not interested in talking just to be heard. In his view, real leadership should be measured by impact, not by how often someone grabs the microphone.
He said:
“What do those MPs who speak in Parliament say?” “I aim to establish Africa’s biggest industrial park.”
That single statement appears to sum up his current mindset in office.
According to Kwame A Plus, his focus is now on practical development, especially in the areas of job creation, business growth and industrial expansion.
Rather than spending energy on speeches, he seems determined to channel his attention into projects that could directly improve the lives of people in his constituency and beyond.

He also admitted that Parliament turned out to be very different from what he had imagined before he got there.
“I thought we would go speak, but when I arrived, I realised we were simply talking, and I am not interested in that. Those who want to speak can do so”
Kwame A-Plus shared this on Asempa FM's Ekosiisen show.
His comments have since sparked mixed reactions online. While some people believe an MP must be vocal in the chamber to show leadership, others feel A Plus has a point if his silence will eventually produce visible results.
For now, the outspoken politician appears ready to let his work do the talking for him.
