He recounted: “While in Kumasi over the weekend, I went to Barnas, a popular eating place in Kumasi for lunch, and I met the Member of Parliament for Nyhiaeso and former MASLOC CEO, Stephen Amoah, popularly known as Sticka. “After a long chat, he told me, ‘My brother, I’m selling palm oil’. It was like I didn’t hear him well so asked, what do mean? Then he repeated, “I’m selling bottled palm oil so you must buy some.”

He continued: “I thought it was a joke, so I requested two bottles. He went to a Nissan hardbody pick-up, very unusual of a Ghanaian sitting MP driving a hard body pick-up, where he had packed the bottled palm oil. “I bought two bottles from him, I thought he was even coming to eat, no, he was selling his palm oil.”
