  Do we really need MPs in Ghana? Can someone tell me what they do to help the country to deserve protocol services?

  Does Mr. Bandua mean to say that any judge or magistrate who visits a foreign country should be accorded protocol services? Does it mean when a MP vacations with his girl friend protocol services should kick in?

  I think this decision is bold and wise. Surely, if an MP is on an official assignment, representing a higher person, he might receive protocol services. But why use taxpayers money to extend protocol services to an MP? There's no smoke without fire. Give the greedy, corrupt MP one meter and he will ask for a kilometer. Some abuse of protocol services in UK might have triggered this decision. Thanks for your courage, Hon Hannah Tetteh

  Ghanaians abroad are casually treated badly by Ghanaian diplomatic missions abroad, in the same way as shabbily as particular foreign diplomatic missions in Ghana treat Ghanaians in Ghana who want to travel abroad.
  
  Ghanaians have adjusted themselves to all this bad treatment we get at our embassies so the MPs should also likewise begin to live like the way all other Ghanaians live. These incompetent Ministers and MPs have not addressed this well-known problem of bad treatment at our embassies and instead of dealing with the problem, they now rather want special privileges to side-track these difficulties which in the first place, has arisen out of their stark incompetence and inability to sort out the problem.
  
  Mps in particular, are among the most reviled and hated group of people in the country today. There is therefore no reason whatsoever why they should be accorded additional privileges for no visible productivity or any useful work done at all for and on behalf of the people of Ghana.
  
  We are all aware at this point in time that they are 'chopping' their MP posts only for their own interests and privileges only. They should go on .......
  
  All MPs should be gathered and put in a seminar or workshop for two days and made to understand that they are only just common MPs and nothing more than that. Their wings should be clipped so that their minds are brought back down to earth where they belong, to do some useful and beneficial work for those who voted them to where they are.
  
  The long and short of the matter is that they are not princes and princesses to be given any protocol privileges. If they cannot join the long line of corruption and diabolical disorganization that all ordinary Ghanaians abroad have to join at our useless embassies abroad, they can go jump in the sea.

  I hope our MPs read the comments people make when issues about Parliament come up for discussion. This is a clear measure of the public perception of our MPs and it is not positive. Why should the public think their MPs are greedy and selfish?
  The leadership of Parliament has a duty to itself and the people of Ghana to embark on a serious image redemption campaign before the situation gets worse.

  The country has to cut government spending, so it is right that MPs should be excluded. Well done President Mahama, but you can still go further than that.
