Leader and Founder of the Common Sense Family (CSF), Avram Ben Moshe has taken a swipe on the Ghanaian adage that says “you don’t bite the hand that feeds you.”
The controversial social commentator says “when the hand stops feeding you and blocks where you have managed to feed from, it is right to bite it” despite you feeding from it before.
His statement is in respect to some New Patriotic Party (NPP) members who are tight lipped over the economic hardship of the country due to their allegiance with the party.
As a leading member of the #FixTheCountry protest, he has called on the youth to come and express their grievances to the government on Wednesday, August 4, 2021.
Instead of castigating convenors of the protest, Avram believes government should rather extol them for channelling the rage of the youth properly.
“The youth of Ghana must be thanked by the leaders for not being violent. The leaders should also be grateful to us for channelling the anger of the youth to the right place,” Ghanasonline.com noted when he spoke on Onua Maakye with Captain Smart Monday, August 2, 2021.
He added that Ghanaian youth are non violent, considering the conditions of life and how calm they have been over the issue.
The CSF leader says “every Ghanaian leader who prays to God for His blessings deserves a slap because we are misappropriating what He has given us already.”
He also charged the Finance Minister to concentrate on providing infrastructure for the country rather than soliciting for funds to build a cathedral.
“Ken Ofori-Atta, if you go abroad for healthcare, may you never return. Go to the Cathedral for prayers when you fall sick,” he cursed.
To those saying the #FixTheCountry leaders have been paid to do so, he replied “no politician can buy us. If you’ve been stupid a bit, it’s enough.”
Meanwhile, John Koomson, a Takoradi resident who represented Ernesto Yeboah on the show revealed how the entire Kwesimintim bus terminus turns into an “Ashawo joint” at night and public officers sleeping with kids as low as 12, 11 and 10 years” when the plight of the youth at Fadama was brought to the fore.
He indicated the August 4 protest is “the beginning of what we want to do.”
