Pelpuo, you are an idiot. Nobody forced you to borrow money to buy votes to go to Parliament. You can quit this job. Who told you fool you need a Driver and a Maid? What kind of nonsense is this? Do you have to have a Driver and a Maid? If you cannot afford a Driver, drive your stupid self and don't get a Maid when you have a wife to help you with the house duties. Most Doctors and Lawyers don't have Maids in Ghana because they can't afford them and the fact that you are an MP does not mean you should have a Driver and a Maid.

This fool is talking about rent when we just gave you GHc50,000 for rent allowance.

The problem with these fools calling themselves Parliamentarians is that, they care about the staus symbol of a Parliamentarian than what the job entails

Who even told these fools if you are a Parliamentarian you have to move to Accra to live there permanently? Parliamentary work is just three months per year so why not find a one bedroom apartment to live in and continue to live where you were living before becoming a Parliamentarian?

Rashid what nonsense are you talking about of MPs being in debt.

The Ghanaian public has not forgotten that immediately President Mahama took office and not so soon Parliament opened the first thing you and your colleagues did was to increase your your salaries. In this wise it is completely insane for you to tell Ghanaians that the MPs are in debt. Can you or President Mahama tell the electorate that the arrears of salaries owed to the Professionals just came into existence, whilst you increased yours? Or perhaps the Government can tell the Professionals they are not important in building Ghana. What is due must first be paid them, simply they are also human beings who have various responsibilities at home.

Sometimes, I wonder Ghana Governments really do understand the meaning of creative governance to equitably share .

Parliamentarians are inherently public servants. You go into politics to serve your nation and as such must include certain sacrifices. If you are in no position to do so, please stay away from politics. Needy and self serving people who go into politics eventually become a burden on the already suffering people. They resort to corruption, looting, nepotism and a general sense of entitlement. A "poor" nation such as Ghana can not afford such people.

"We pay our drivers, maids, rent, buy [their] own fuel and manage your constituency. Ask them how many did not have to borrow money to manage their constituency? Before the end of the month they are broke,"

- Rashid Pelpuo

Food for thought:

1. who asked you to have a driver?
2. who asked you to have maids?
3. who asked you to rent?
4. who asked you to buy your own fuel?

MPs are paid a salary just like everybody else and they are supposed to manage their lives with that salary.

If you choose to hire drivers, and maids and buy fuel, it is your business, it is not the business of the state.

Managing your constituency is your job and the government has already voted money for it.

Start living within your means and you will not be broke.......

Becoming an MP is not by right nor is it by conscription in Ghana, as far as our laws suggest and certainly not by the laws of nature. If you guys and girls are finding it difficult to keep your roles as MPs and members of society at the same time, please just vacate your seats, as it is done elsewhere. If the financial responsibilities are overwhelming, please just leave. You are not under conscription to serve in these roles. You do not need a car loan as an MP just use public transport just like most MPs in Scandinavia do. After all, they these countries abroad keep giving us aid and their top officials cycle to work, use public transport and live in ordinary flats and not mansions with many house-helps, so to speak. Use video conferencing if your constituency far from Accra. You do not have to be in Accra every week to discuss issues in Parliament. Please use modern technology and save us these huge expenses and funny explanations

Shameless MPs. If these men and call themselfies MPs and cant even organize their own pay how can the manage a country economy. If John dont know people go to work to earn money to feed their families, if he doesnt know he cant be our president.
Rasid should be ashame going to the media to say such a stupid thing, when that is why we elected you to go to paliament to make sure everybody enjoy a fair share of what the nation has to give.
If MPs work and dont get paid who are those who get pay. When workers stop going to work it means we have a useless government which MPs are the leaders. Why should anybody work without getting pay while Woyome got paid. NDC government has failed hanaians for nearly 5 years, it wasnt after 2012 elections but 4 wasted years before that.
John Mahama can never be the president, the small time we gave him he failed and failed big time for not knowing how to ran a country.

Let's hold the referendum and let Ghanaians decide if the payment of that money should go on.

If I have the power to change anything in the constitution, the first thing will be the elimination of the tax exemption clause to the president then any "ex-gratia payment" to any public office holder.

The pain and agony Ghanaian workers are going through, should be felt across the board including these MPs and the president.

We should stop pampering these officials because doing that signifies cowardly.

If you as MP can't make ends meet at the end of the month,what then can a teacher or anurse or Mahama's sisters from the north(kayayoo)do in Accra to survive? You a stupid man like you Pelpuo has a maid and driver at your disposal, just because you are a member of parliament in Ghana. Just consider the plight of our Doctors,taechers ,nurses, farmers and our trotro drivers whose services we can't do away with. They also cater for their families, rent appartements,go to Malam or Kaneshie market just like you. Even you from the North pays less for your konkonte or your tz meals. Every morning before you leave home for work say thank you to Kwame Nkrumah for giving you free education, else you would be following goats and cows in the bush now.

The time is ripe for "Peoples' Revolution" to kick out these greedy and incompetent MPs who think they are better than everybody in the country. It is time for them to resign their positions and go back to where they came from if Mr Rashid Pelpuo and his ilk think they cannot live on their salaries.The country has millioms and millions of unemployed to be given jobs but where are the jobs and the resources to pay them.Ghana needs the sort of "Arab Spring" revolutions that toppled those corrupt and greedy Arab governments and it has to start from now through Workers and mass demmonstrations.

Pepeni Kwasea. Who asked you to have a driver, can't you drive? Who asked you to have a maid, can't and your wives clean your house. Who pays the rent for the common man and who buys them fuel. Kwasea

Oh Ama Ghana why have you been given birth to idiots and brainless individuals who don't ponder over their thoughts before they spew them out? And these few individuals are ruling over your 25 million children and driving them crazy into poverty and hell. Oh Ama don't conceive again.
