The outgoing Member of Parliament (MP) for the Bekwai Constituency, Joe Wise, finds himself embroiled in controversy after his failed bid to secure the NPP Parliamentary Primaries for his chosen successor, COP Alex Mensah Rtd.

His recent remarks regarding the management of community toilets have ignited strong reactions from constituents.

In widely circulated interviews with various TV networks, Joe Wise alleged that he faced threats from constituents who demanded action to address the overflowing state of a public toilet.

He cited this pressure as a significant factor influencing his decision not to contest in the recent NPP Parliamentary Primaries.

These rants have been described by his constituents as extremely unfortunate on the part of such a high-profile legislator.

Many view Joe Wise's comments as evasive and indicative of his detachment from the community's needs and development.

They lament his tenure as an "unmitigated failure," characterized by mismanagement and neglect of public resources.

The critics highlighted Joe Wise's perceived indifference and self-centeredness, labelling his administration as a "monumental waste" of time and resources.

They further expressed disappointment over his lack of stewardship and asserted that he has left Bekwai worse off than when he assumed office.

Moreover, constituents voice concerns about the erosion of democratic values, emphasizing the need for integrity and accountability in public service.

They condemned Joe Wise's alleged self-enrichment at the expense of the community, calling for a renewed commitment to transparency and ethical governance.

"So Joe Wise is telling us that the demands from the public toilet operators were a recipe for his withdrawal from the NPP Primaries after 16 years of disastrous years.

"Truth be told honestly, Joe Wise's administration has been an unmitigated failure; a monumental waste of time, resources, and of the hopes and aspirations of a nation and his constituents.

"Tell you what, true stewardship is leaving a place better than one found it.  Without a doubt, he’s the worst MP Bekwai has ever produced!

"No previous MP for Bekwai exhibited such high-level aloofness, such indifference, such arrogance, such self-centeredness and such utter lack of competence," some of his constituents expressed.

Another person also said: "Despite his abysmal failure, Joe Wise continues to crave praise-singing, basking in dishonest adulation.
