YOURS IS JUSTIFIED BUT NOT THE ORDINARY WORKERS'WHO TOIL TO PAY TAXES FOR YOU TO GET YOUR 50,000 GH CEDIS MINUS OTHER SALARIES AND ALLOWANCES.
There goes the rest of Jubilee Field.
Ghanaians are too slow. This is the kind of nonsense that spur some countries on the globe to loay down their tools and embark on strikes or march to the seat of government and overthrow them.
Let all Ghanaian workersdeman ...

He's getting no support, anywhere; the mental 'vituperations' are back to hunt him.
These are exactly my thoughts. MPs are people of a special class? Are they more hard working than the medical Officers, Are they more hard working than the University lecturers? Even the teachers in the Primary and Secondary ...

Are MPs the only workers in Ghana? And how special are they as this greedy ex-MP is claiming. Does it make sense to increase their rent by whopping margin of 60 percent? If so, how much increment is the govt giving workers in ...

What about the other workers? Teye Nyanau wants to be heard and get some appointment. Anyway, where is Tony Aidoo and Tony shit Aidoo. Prez never give them any position because they are fools
Different class of people my arse. This guy definitely lives on cloud cuckoo land. Aboa like that.
They are sharks who have gone to the Dentist to sharpen their teeth soon they will be joining the buffet.
We expect within the next few days, a statement from the National Executive Committee of NPP stating that its MPs will boycott the rent allowances for MPs approved by the illegal President Mahama.
Ghanaians should learn to cut their cloths to their size. C50000 rent for MP couple with other allowances is just too expensive for the economy. It seems MPs are just interested in themselves.

Yes, they leave the constituencies and settle in Accra. No wonder the country is in this state. An MP must work with the people he is elected to represent and to relocate to Accra leaving them behind
Kwesi Pratt, where are you, and what's your opinion on the MPs' 50,000 cedis rent issue?
I DO AGREE THIS TIME WITH MR. NYAUNU HE IS RIGHT.
THE MP'S DESERVE THE HOUSING ALLOWANCES. ONE DON'T EXPECT A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT A LAW MAKER TO MINGLE WITH OTHER CITIZENS IN APPARTMENT COMPLEX FULL OF CRAZY DUDES HASSLING ...

Shame on you, trying to save your face.
POLITICIANS in GHANA are SELF SERVING. They get elected by the PEOPLE on PROMISES that THEY never intend to FULFIL. Their main AIM is simply to make as MUCH WEALTH by the PERIOD they serve in PARLIAMENT. Some of them do not a ...

TEYE, NYAAYE SOOOOMI, BUULU KWASHIA!
MPs are supposed to serve the people not be special.pay MPs well so they can accommodate themselves.if you cant own a house how can you claim to be able to represent a community.i cry for GH........
Thank you. Ghanaians should not re-elect any of these MPs.
I think Teye Nyanu drinks his urine hence, this stupid comment. Do the MPs work for free? If yes, then they deserve the allowance but if they are being paid like any other Ghanaian worker, then a BIG NO.
Teye Nyaunu is crazy.How is MPs different class of people who need extraordinary treatment.They are different because of their chop chop.Ghanaians must know those to be elected as our MPs.God please help Ghana with the money ...

By MY CALCULATION, GH¢50,000.00 FOR 4YEARS IS ABOUT GH¢1,041.00 PER MONTH WHICH IS AROUND UU$500.00 PER MONTH. THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY CAN NOT RENT TWO BED ROOM AT CANTOMENT FOR FOUR YEARS.
Is it by force for mps to live in cantoment?

This is why the former Ghana Airways bungalows and other Ghana government properties in prime locations should not have been sold to Ursula Owusu and others.
This amount can build a District Hosp[tal. Shame on you DISHONOURABLE MPS.
How much does a TEACHER, NURSE earn ayear?? No wonder Ghanaians will do everything even sacrificing other people to go into politics.. God save the country.
and yet some fools will do anything to elect these baboons.

who makes u think u are different from other? how much do civil servants get each much?u greedy politicians with no brains to develope ghana.
No you cannot pay MPs that much for rent allowance (60% increase) and also increase their pay!
This is very greedy and unfair to the other workers. This is how you get every sector beginning to go on strike for more pay
Are we serious as a nation? How does this man look Ghanaians in the face and tell them that MP are forced to get houses that they can't afford with their 7,500 GHC monthly salaries so we should help them with 50,000 GHC rent ...

Please make sure all NPP MPs are not given any allowance until court issues are resolved.
Has he forgotten about the numerous life being lost at galamsey sites each day?you're really greedy with all who are in support of this fucking,selfish and greedy justification?
HE IS SUFFERING FROM MENTAL PSYCHOSIS.
Would this be annual, every four years, or what? MPs must find their own homes like nurses, teachers, etc.
Is it not crazy to pay GHC4160 a month as rent allowance to a MP why a graduate teacher receives less than GHC1000 as net salary for a month? This is sheer madness.
Stop duping the nation, MP's. --- for cars, --- for nothing done.
If you get this people to position of power what do you expect
