Outspoken activist Ralph St. Williams grabbed the headlines for all the wrong reasons during the 2025 Budget presentation that was held on Tuesday, March 11, 2025.
This comes after he confronted the former Deputy Finance Minister and the current Member of Parliament for Nhyiaeso Constituency in the Ashanti Region at the forecourt of Parliament House.
The outspoken activist was heard telling the NPP MP that he recently visited his constituency and was appalled by the poor road network and lack of street lights.

He then urged Stephen Amoah to keep quiet on issues about the 2025 budget statement if he has no meaningful input to make
The action by Ralph was seen by some as an attention seeking move, with many opining that the #FixTheCountry member never visited Nhyiaeso constituency as he led many to believe.
However, a video sighted by YEN.com.gh on the Facebook page of Ralph captures the moment the young man was seen standing in the middle of the road and was heard declaring his presence in Stephen Amoah's constituency.
In the video, Ralph admitted that although parliamentarians are not responsible for road infrastructure, they play a crucial role in ensuring that roads constructed in the constituencies are the best, something Stephen Amoah failed to do, judging from the nature of the roads.
"As a member of Parliament, it is not your mandated work to be constructing roads, but at the end of the day, because it is within your constituency and the budget allocated for this would have gone through Parliamentary approval, you are part of this. As a constituency representative, you are supposed to be supervising some of these works when you come to the constituency."

Eager to prove he was not making anything up, Ralph engaged some road users, as many of them lamented that the roads were poorly constructed.
At the time of writing this report, the video of Ralph claiming to be in Nhyiaeso Constituency had raked in over 300 likes and 75 comments.
