In an interview with Bernard Avle on The Point of View, Manasseh disclosed that Muntaka Mubarak, during a discussion prior to the release of Manasseh's new book, claimed that 70% of Ghana’s issues can be traced back to Parliament.According to Manasseh, both Muntaka and Osei-Owusu are frustrated with Parliament, recognizing its significant problems but struggling to address them from within.

“Generally, there are people who especially Joe Osei-Owusu, Muntaka, they are not happy with Parliament. Muntaka said 70% of the problems in this country should be traced to Parliament. They are not happy, they know they are in a mess, but it’s difficult to fight from within. So, when they get the platform, they can speak.”Manasseh’s latest book, “The President Ghana Never Got,” was launched on August 8.

Manasseh's book is his most recent work on Ghana's successive governments, following his 2016 publication,“The Fourth John: Reign, Rejection & Rebound,” which detailed the presidency of John Dramani Mahama as he exited office.
