LONG LIVE NPP CRIMINAL PARTY IN OPPOSITION
A better leader in the saddle. This is great to hear. My president, kindly extend the RESET to cover the entire public service, review their allowances. Most of those allowances is a direct insult to the sensibility of the pe ...

How much did the British leave for Ghana at Independence? Because of Nkrumah’s extravagant and ambitious expenditure, Ghana was almost bankrupt when he was booted out of office. How much did he spend on Guinea, Zimbabwe, an ...

Are you really serious? CAN you tell me which president in ghana can compare his doings to Nkrumah?
Stop being idiot and ignorant.
Karikari, you better stop exposing your blatant ignorance about what Nkrumah inherited from our coloniser, the UK. The UK left the Gold Coast only 250 million pounds after over hundred years of pillaging our resources. The U ...

Well done, I salute you. This is the only time Jeremiah Rawlings has to pay for his rent. He's no more living rent-free. Kudos to you.
Something to placate Ghanaians. Shame on Mahama. Ablekuma North violence has exposed Mahama as a violent person.
What about when such appointees need to fuel their vehicles for OFFICIAL DUTIES? John, please hasten slowly because there are some spheres where appointees can’t use their own money to fuel their vehicles for officials duti ...

Most of John Dramani Mahama appointees are Brokenen & women. They don't have personal cars,they are using Govt vehicles. How can Malik Basintale or Mustapha Gbande use their pockets monies to fuel Official Cars?
Teacher, Nurses and other civil servants who pay their own transportation fares and those who fuel their own cars, not even an official vehicles to do official duties are lesser human beings, right?
We pay for the cars they ...

@My Presido. The biggest achievement of this Government so far has been the establishment of boards for every state institution. This will certainly lead to red tape in decision making which will slow down our pace of develop ...

@Game Changer. I can not agree with you more. Some of these benefits are just a way of looting the state. Why should someone (after they have received their full monthly salary) get a fuel allowance to drive their private car ...

Solve anarchy and discrimination. Ghana must be for all of us. What was wrong yesterday must not be right today. Your party's revenge will spell disaster for you, you are warned.
It means nothing. Robing Peter to pay Paul. They will steal as usual to buy their fuel.

If Mahama cancels the fuel allowances, it is not a problem because they will put it somewhere else .
Good move, but the appointees will still expense their fuel cost for their organizations to pay.
This is no initiative; it is propaganda by the womanising drunkard and incompetent dead goat.
Saying different thing snd doing different thing don't trust politicians
John Mahama is a big Trickster. Which NDC appointee will use his pocket money to fuel govt vehicle?It's just for the optics and a PR that NDC has adapted. It will not work bcoz we've discerning Ghanaians now.
Unlike the criminals npp who took the country as their bonafide properties misusing state funds.NKROMFUO.
An unemployed Lunatic NDC Supporter without work experience. There were many NPP appointees who were not taking Fuel Allocation. How much is Fuel Allocation per week?Peanut to most of then.
Thank God we are going to see the end of the wastage of Goil coupons. Hitherto, government officials would collect more than necessary fuel coupons and give them to friends and girlfriends
Totally agree. They sit in their air conditioned offices do nothing but collect books and books of fuel vouchers and give to friends , family and side chicks. Its about time. They have a free government vehicle that reads the ...

That was what fools like Agyapa Mercer and K.T. Hammond were doing. For 8 good years. Thank you God for giving us sense to vote against the useless NPP
Gyimiieeee saa no wisdom. Those are the types the Kleptomaniac Gonja from Bole Bamboi wants on the Voters Register.
when are you going to scrap the Azuma mines your brother Ibrahim Mahama wants to take by force. All of a sudden you brother has over $100 million to buy a mine. When you were in opposition he didn't have such money.
@Dancas, because of foolishness and hatred, some of you behave as zombies. Are u not ashamed we don't any high scale indegenous mining company in Ghana? Fools, you guys took away the bauxite contract from him and dashed it to ...

John Dramani Mahama and his brother Ibrahim think many Ghanaians are FOOLS like NDC Supporters. No one will allow them to steal our natural resources. If Bryan Acheampong cannot buy SSNIT hotels, the same law will apply.
Absolutely perfect move by the president, it's obviously high time he cancells that good for nothing ex-gracia.
Once a Criminal JDM will always remain a Propagandists Criminal. GRA will start implementing D Levy next week.The Dollar is also waking up,Crude Oli prices are also on their mark.
Mahama is a visionary leader compared to wasteful Akuffo Addo. NPP must not come near to power for at least 30 years if we want Ghana to benefit everyone. They are arrogant with thievery mindset sharing state property.
I'm not a Fool like those NDC Supporters, let John Dramani Mahama govt give us the total amount they spend every month b4 this ban.Then they can also give us how much they are going to save after the ban for analysis.
Good move
Mahama all the way
They should be entitled to cost of fuel for doing government business.. Is that to say they took fuel allowance on to of the business fuel cost? Ama Ghana
Great move this going to save a lot of money
Hmmmm,a lot of people didn't know Mahama will do great this time.Yesterday most of the MPs in both sides including the minority leader acknowledged the good work the ruling government is doing .Ghana will surely get to the to ...

Fuel is consuming resources, and the vehicles are big vehicles, four-wheel drive. Some drive to see their friends, funerals etc, etc.
Any government appointee who claims fuel vouchers or allowance should justice such claims against mileage done on the vehicle allocated. Thieves stealing 360⁰. Some government appointees have no shame at all. Greedy to thei ...

Well done JDM. This was long overdue.
Only fools will trust this directive, they’re going to introduce the petroleum taxes tomorrow so in order to fool Ghanaians let us bring this, only senseless people will hail you..Sethings why now??
Aooww my friend..Many have not realised that John Mahama is using a lot of PR and optics in his 2nd term.I am told his own GPRTU are angry. Mahama has tricked them.

Congrats Mr President, but not only for political appointees but also senior public and civil servants who have free everything: security, water, electricity, fuel, tv allowance, free cable and many more. God bless you
Cancelling fuel allowance to appointees cannot be measured. He should be able to show exact what he has used that proceeds for. We are often deceived that government has taken this and that from its appointees but at the end ...

Herrr! Are we still in Ghana or am dreaming? He who laughs last....... Mahama must be having a very good last laugh. Setting a model of HOW TO BUILD A NATION.
Also take the saloon cars from them, and let them use 4x4 from a carpool. That will be the ultimate cost cutting.
Kwaashiaa populist nonsense
Let the savings be used to increase the producer price of cocoa. The farmers are waiting and will not take any excuses for not increasing the producer price.
Long overdue, extend it to other sectors. The various incentives are just too much and a waste of public money.
The use of free fuel coupons in the various institutions must come to an end. Ghana is bleeding, there's need ...

If this direction does not include MMDCEs, then I'm afraid it will not be fair. This's because about 50 70 of District Assembly Common Funds (DACF) goes into fuel refunds of MMDCEs.

When akufo ado and npp were busy increasing government allowances, John mahama is canceling them..Ghanaians please do not give Ghana to npp again..
Criminal and the most incompetent president.
This is governance. God bless u Mahama
The best political move made by any president. Good job!! Now the politicians will feel the pain of using a V8 and other big engine SUVs.
What is required is a deeper and structured surgery of public sector conditions of service, including government agencies, SOEs and institutions like the BoG and COCOBOD. The President has once in a lifetime opportunity to ca ...

This is the right thing to do, and it looks like only Mahama could do it. Shame unto the Akkufo-Addos and the Kuffours. Mahama has proved he is a leader.
WELL DONE MR. MAHAMA. FUEL ALLOWANCE INDEED, THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THE COUNTRY IS POOR. THE APPOINTEES CAN USE THEIR SALARY TO BUY FUEL LIKE ANY OTHER PERSON.
You believe this to your own peril. Do you remember the contribution for building chip compounds,which Mahama promised, and secretly when back to Accountants General to recollect? These people are scammers.
