He added that some of the current ministers who used to be paupers have now attained millionaire status.
“There are so many of them who are ministers today that I know very well. A lot of them used to come around when we were in parliament those days. They will follow you all around for even GH¢100 but today they are millionaires. I look at that and ask myself if it is the same politics we used to do. Levels don change now,” he said.
The former MP also noted that politicians who amass wealth through dubious means tend to lose it all when they exit power.
