Former New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Ablekuma North, Joe Appiah, has expressed his desperation for a political appointment saying he’s ready to even take up a sweeping job at the Flagstaff House.
The former Member of the Parliamentary Committee on Works and Housing appeared disappointed that he’s not been rewarded with an appointment after he worked tirelessly in in his constituency to ensure the NPP’s victory in the 2016 general election.
Speaking on an Accra based TV station, Joe Appiah who says he’s not been treated fairly admitted that he’ll settle for any job given him by the President.

â€Some of us who toiled to bring this party to power have been sidelined with respect to appointments. After bringing 55,000 votes to the constituency no one was bothered to call me after the party came to power. Some others who didn’t labour are the ones enjoying now. It’ll take God to touch the heart of President Akufo Addo to give me an appointment.
Joe Appiah then stressed that ‘‘any job I’m offered by the President, I’m ready to do. I’m there to serve my nation. Even if he asks me to sweep the Flagstaff House, I’ll do that. Even if I’m asked to polish the President’s shoes for a fee, I’m ready to do that. I’m serious about what I’m saying.â€
Joe Appiah lost his seat to Nana Akua Owusu Afriyieh in the NPP’s Parliamentary Primaries in 2015.
