The NPP has no authority to make any decisions on our behalf because we booted them out. Why the need to rush to pay out monies and appoint people knowing you are on your way out? Criminally irresponsible people.

@ Truth
I also agree with Sheila they shd be well paid and ALL Allowances and Benefits cancelled.Their Salaries shd be converted to USA Dollars to let us know where we are as a nation.After the collapse of the Soviet Union,the Russians got to know that their citizens were poorly paid when they started converting their incomes from Rubbles to Dollars. They quickly started addressing that issue and today after almost 35yrs after the collapse of USSR ,Russians can also compare themselves to the West.We need be frank to ourselves that Salaries and Wages are too Low in this country.

It may appear difficult for the Mahama government to implement for the fact that their bitter rivalry is leaving with their pockets fully loaded with all the pecks and loots. But indeed, what can balance the equation is to prosecute all the corruption in that government and then it will become easy to make that sacrifice.

Why do we also have extra benefits for the highest paid public sector employees whilst the lowest paid public sector employees don't even get enough pay for decent accommodation in Accra?

The following are what actually led to Bawumia's defeat:

1. the economic hardship
2. NPP's rigging plan that was thwarted due to extra vigilance of NDC.
3. Wontumi and NAPO factor
4. NPP's disregard for Ashanti region development
5. Unprecedented corruption associated with lies and senseless propaganda
6. Galamsey
7. LGBT
8. Unanimous FC of Supreme Court
9. Akuffool Addo's arrogance, State capture and, family and friends government
10. Kelvin Taylor's media war against Akuffool Addo and Bawumia's unprecedented corrupt government

The above are the key factors. The 2020 election was a precursor to this devastating defeat. You lost the 2020 election if not for the action of the EC, but you didn't learn. You took things for granted, thinking that it would be business as usual.

Sarfo Bediako, You are absolutely right!!! The points you listed are the major contributors to the NPP’s loss! You are 100% correct that Akuffo Addo lost the 2020 elections but the EC helped him by rigging that election. Akuffo Addo knows this, contributing to his extreme disregard for the Ghanaians during the second term, knowing that his mandate was from the EC and not the Ghanaian people. That information potentially informed the NPP decision and subsequent communications that they are not going to handover power and that they have 1million ways of winning the elections. Akufo-Addo, Wontumi (the semi-literate), and Bryan Acheampong have communicated this unambiguously. However, we the Ghanaians have this cohort of insensitive nation wreckers that sovereignty lies with the people of Ghana.

All these trappings of office are due to the excessive powers of the President. Dilute that power and many things will fall in place.

Exactly earlier the better. Well said Hon Sheila. Let's us sacrifice to save mother. Our politicians and the prominent elite class are milking Ghana while average Ghanaians suffer to sacrifice. Cut allowances, freebies and ex-gratia. This must affect the 3 arms of government to save public purse and unnecessary borrowing. The poor are being taxed to fund the enjoyments of the politicians, their families and their cronies in the private sector. # Cut now.

When you were enjoying all these benefits why didn't you advocate for them to be scrapped? Now you know you are not going to benefit so they should scrap them. No wonder you lost the parliamentary, what a selfish person?

I fully agree with you. Our political class are corrupt. Why all these extra payments when they are on salary like everyone else. Why should the state buy them fuel to drive their cars when they have a monthly salary? In USA, the President and his family pay for their meals in the White House unless it is an official dinner for a visiting Head of State, and/or other official circumstances. Furthermore, when the President leaves office the only benefit they have is security protection for the rest of their life, a chauffeur, and a secretarial assistance to cater for the ex-president's correspondences and engagements. The American ex-presidents live on their pension. In Ghana, politics has become a lucrative business. It is time to put an end to the exploitation of the people by the political class. Our politicians should go on retirement and live on their pension like everyone else.
