If you have nothing good to say, just keep quiet

Kwaku Sintim-Misa (KSM) used his latest episode of the KSM Show to weigh in on the 2026 budget, urging politicians and party communicators to elevate national interest above political theatre.
“This is a show where we tell it like it is and let the chips fall where they bloody hell may. We are ready to crush any jandam with the truth. We shall suffocate the jandam with the truth,” he said during the programme monitored by MyNewsGh.
KSM argued that criticism of the budget has become driven by political emotion rather than substance. “Whether you like it or not, the budget is very good,” he said, noting that while minor issues can be debated, the fundamentals are “solid”.
He criticised MPs who dismissed the budget without demonstrating understanding. Referring to one lawmaker who questioned the presence of the COVID levy, he responded: “What sense does this make? Do you know how much good it would have been to her if she had just shut up?”
Addressing another MP’s description of the budget as “growthless, jobless and minimalist,” KSM described the remark as “rubbish” and “shameful,” adding that “It would have been much more respectable to have shut the hell up.”
He argued that critics from the former administration lack moral authority after eight years in office. “You were given the chance,” he said. “All you left was nothing but theft, decay and rot.”
KSM insisted that national development should not be undermined by partisan denial. “If you don’t have anything good to say, it’s better to shut up,” he said. “Only a fool will say nothing is happening.”
