    NO IMPORTANT GOVT BUILDING HAS CARS PARKED IN FRONT OF IT. IT IS DANGEROUS FOR DIGNITARIES. WHERE IS GBEVLO LARTEY?

  • Akonoba 10 years ago

    Oh! you are looking for Gbevlo Lartey? I suggest that you go to the nearest radio station where NPP serial callers are doing their thing. When you get there, look for anybody who is wearing dark glasses, even if it is 10pm in ...

    The presidents residence is not permanently for him therefore it should be keep clean all the time. If cars are parked in front of the edifice ,I suggest that it should be changed to somewhere else.

    I would have thought that the portion of the Flag Staff house that housed the first President should be preserved in its pristine condition - that is, if they have not already defiled it, as a tourist site for history and pos ...

    CAN'T AGREE WITH YOU MORE. THE RIGHT THING IS TO RESTORE THE PROPERTY WITH ITS REGALIA AS A MUSEUM.

  • Aj-usa 10 years ago

    Dude,don't hide urself behind Dr Nkrumah.because ur so call (p)NDC has nothing in common with the Dr Nkrumah's ideology. ur NDC thought the whole nation is only Accra,whiles leaving the other regions to perish.

  • Akonoba 10 years ago

    John Mahama, you cannot possibly be the only one who thinks the Jubilee House - and which by the way is not called Kufuors building, is an eyesore.
