The stupidity, colonial and slavery mentality we have in Ghana is what is destroying the country.

What is the meaning of "officially homeless"? It means the person have a private residence but doesn't have a free provided government house
Where was Vanderpuije, a native of Accra staying before he became a Mills member of his communication team that qualified this low official for a government house? What is the meaning of Mr Ahi is officially homeless? It means he is still staying in his private house or apartment but does not have a free provided house.

Why should we give these fools earning ten times an average Ghanaian salary free houses? USA government does not provide free houses to its Ministers called Secretaries and members of Congress free houses. They have to find their own accommodation in Washington D.C or surrounding areas and pay for them from their salaries. When are we fools going to learn and get rid of our colonial and slave mentality of free things? Ghana cannot continue to foot these bills for these morons.

Government should rather sell all government owned houses meant for Ministers, Parliamentarians, Judges and other officials who live in these free mansions whilst they rent their private houses out.

Some of us always get sick when we read comment from idiot people like you who dont through before fuming. If this problem exists since they took over they would have made it an issue, rather they went ahead and gave GHs50,000 to each MP and Ministers to go and rent their own accommodation. Can't this money be used to build more houses, not to talk of the silly Eweman, Wayome's money. Wise up else you will continue to live in that stinking environment for good

FOR NDC TO COME OUT WITH SUCH AN EXCUSE ABOUT HOUSING OF MINISTERS CLEARLY SHOW THEIR STUPDITY & HYPOCRACY TRYING TO ALWAYS PALY POLITICS WITH THIS ISSUE AND EXPOSING MORE & MORE OF THEIR STUPIDITY IN THE GOVERNANCE OF THE COUNTRY:

"The issue of Jake's Purchase of parcel of land no. 29, Block 12, section 019 in extent 1.04 acres situated at Ridge, I wish to say there was no conflict of interest in acquiring the property. The PNDC came up with policy to increase the number of people living on each acre of land in within some selected areas in Accra with the Lands Commission in charge and as well proposing the architecture for the redevelopment.

The NDC continued this policy and hundreds of it's functionaries benefited from it. Because the policy makes sense the NPP government continued to implemented it to the letter. Jake therefore applied for his bungalow which was due for redevelopment and it was leased to him for a period of fifty years TO BUILD MULTIPLE FLATS & ACCOMODATION FOR HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE INCLUDING MINISTERS OF STATE INSTEAD OF HAVING ONE I MEAN ONE MINISTER TO OCCUPY ONLY ONE BUNGALOW ON IT AS AT NOW. TO BE AGAINST IT AND TALK OF MINISTERS NOT HAVING NO PLACE TO STAY RIGHT....IS THAT NOT THE BIGGEST OR THE MOST STUPID ACTION TO HAVE MADE IT HAPPEN LIKE THAT??????? WHAT A BIG STUPIDITY IS THAT IN GOVERNANCE??????

Many were made to believe Jake purchased the parcel of land when he was in government. This is not true because Jake decided to buy the land when he was out of government. He did so as a private citizen wanting to contribute his quota to the redevelopment of Accra. In fact some people sent this matter to court to stop the lease. When the case was referred to the NDC Attorney General, she cleared Jake of any wrong involved in the lease of the parcel of land. She indicated there was nothing untoward about the lease. Jake did not do anything illegal and unethical.

The humane Englishmen colonial masters on granting self-rule to the Gold Coast/Ghana foresaw that scarse State lands in Accra would be required for housing of generations of Government officials coming down to Accra from the hinterland ; reason, they did not sell the land to themselves till perpetuity; yet

- just 50 years into self-rule, morally corrupt gangsters in Governments dubiously sold the Accra lands to themselves; however

- fundamentally, any contract to sell any State land in Accra is unlawful; and the Supreme Court has no powers to rule that this NPP Jake can own the State land he presently occupies

- to cure this evil, Mahama must pass a Legislation to take all the State lands in Accra back; and the supposedly purchaser occupier charged with criminal attempted theft of State land

All these are just lies. Afterall they
have their individual houses or apartments prior to their appointments
as Ministers and therefore,should sacrifice if they don't have no place to stay. Otherwise,give up their positions and go back to their towns
