But why do these politicians think they are deceiving anyone with their lies? What is wrong if you tell the truth that someone is not well? Is it not human for anyone to fall sick from time to time? What is uncalled for in one being sick so that Politicians continue to deceive and tickle themselves thinking that they are deceiving anyone? Idiots.

Toilet paper 'Daily Guide' is telling you he's been flown to an unknown destination, people trust that rubbish? It's a fact Mr Woyongo did not go to London for medical reasons.

Is the defense not allowed to take his leave? To you it might be too early but to him, he had been minister for upper East region, solving the Bawku conflict, before becoming defense minister. A well deserved rest indeed.

What is wrong is administration after administration not equipping the hospitals in Ghana so the presidents and ministers can be taken care of at home.
What do they want the poor taxpayer to do when they find themselves in similar health situation? I guess leave them to die!!!!!!!!!

Why are we all BLACKS complaining against RACISM, XENOPHOBIA ,DISCRIMINATION AND EXCULSION in Europe? ARE YOU IN YOUR RIGHT SENSE TO FIGHT THE LATTER AND AT THE SAME TIME, PROMOTE THAT IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY? anyway, he is already a Minister,was Ghana's former Head of Information in the Ghana High Commission in London for 10 years.MARK has very relaible friends and very respected network in the UK. He would still have gone there even if he is not a MINISTER.Pour soul, you should be ashamed of yourself if you are an Asante because no PURE OKANIBA will make such a comment. Kayabastard.

We live in a country where our leaders,when they fall sick,can fly out for medical treatment.Why don't they make use of the medical services they are supposed to be running in Ghana.If our medical services fall short of their expectations,what's that say of their running the state of affairs in our country,huh?
Our late leader did the same and it appears when push comes to pull,those who are in position of trust cannot trust our health services and providers to seek help.That is a serious indictment of the way our nation is being ran.And for crying out loud,why do we give these so called leaders our mandate to run the affairs of our nation when they clearly indicate to us by their actions that they have no clue as to how to do things right by us?

If you google the ten richest men in Ghana you can understand why the politicians including JJ Rawlings go abroad for medical treatment; they can frigging afford it!!

It is a shame that those running the country have and continue to have treatment abroad and can experience the excellent facilities and commitment of doctors and nurses who are well paid and rewarded for their skills, and yet fail in their own country to build our hospitals and personnel to a high standard.

Incidentally most of the doctors in the UK for example, come from the ex colonies. Yet they do not even see it right to pay their medical workers on time; sometimes 6 month in arrears.

It is down to pure greed, selfishness, lack of patriotism and love for their own people. It is really a sham

We all know that Woyongo one of the usual NDC corruptly criminal appointees, who is highly suspected of UK/Ghana duel citizenship just like Adamu Sakande who was wrongly jailed for political reasons was in an emergency call flown out the country for medical attention.

Now just after two days, the pathologically DNA born NDC liars are twisting facts to lie to us that their man who is dying from obesity is cooling off on the hot summer London streets.

A friend put it in a better way and I quote "if you have keys to your doors lost and insist they are safe in your hands, night will certainly come and all shall see where you sleep"

Just like how they lied and lied till Agya Atta Mills fell to his face and died pathetically at a maternity ward at 37 military hospital, the truth shall definitely come out when night falls.

Why can't these professional liars can't learn a lesson to be honest at least about their "woyomenized" criminals health from the opposition party NPP as they told us the gospel truth about Nana's health?

After all we all fall sick or are sick one way or the other. It's only takes the grace of God for us all to be healthy and alive.

There they go again, NDC the lies-infested party, it's yet another stoodge and buffoon, Mr Woyongo. See his piggish face in the picture, trying to pretend that everything is fine, ok. The saying goes that if you think you're cheating the spider you're actually cheating yourself. The evil men sent Prof. Mills to his grave by asking him to lie about his health followng up with a dramatic "jogging show" at the Kokota International Airport. Today it's your turn Woyongo so sit down and act sheepishly. What will you be doing, jogging like Prof. Mills, or the equation will change this time to an "Azonto Dance"?

I saw him jogging in the park the other day. The minister is fit and strong and a lot slimer than he was in the picture published. I recognised him, approached him and asked whether he is Mark Woyongo. He answered politely and we engaged in a conversation about Ghana. He adviced me to come back home and help build the economy. The guy is very approachable and down to earth.

Why is the NDC cholesterol-filled buffoon called Mark Wonyongo now called Mark 'Only four people are dead ' Wonyogo?

He did not care when 4 people in Ashanti were butchered to death on separate occasions in bizarre circumstances and shocked human conscience by spewing out that Only 4 people are dead so why the noise.

Is he now afraid of death, himself?

What is the meaning of this London-flyaway?

The million cedi question: Only He Wonyogo is dying , should GHANA CARE?

M.o.D. you did not need to travel abroad for treatment which your cronies refer to 'cooling off' My therapy for you is this: evry morning do run for half an hour, then walk a long distance - not from Accra to Navrongo or your home town- but anywhere in the city. The soldiers will teach you how to walk.
