It is difficult to understand why we spend so much money on funerals. Do we want show we care for the victims' family or we want to show off our wealth? We have really lost the whole essence of funerals.

Just listen to their childish talk!
Oh Dr!, you too? You are supposed to be learned and not speak like an illiterate. Don't you think people are giving less offertry because they have become wiser after seeing the lifestyle of most self-acclaimed men of God?
You talk true oòo
Some of these political leaders don't think at all because they are are blinded by their political ambitions. the so called church contributions and extravagant spending on funerals are some of the major causes of poverty and ...

This statement adds no value. People just talk rubbish to gain attention. There's a lot of other more important issues he could have commented on. We are responsible for high cost of funerals, we have our priorities backwards ...

You people are planning to use our funds to pay church offertory and funeral donations? You guys are not serious!

This is shallow mindedness on the side of the mp. How can ppl like this make laws that will move the country forward?
Stupidity.funerals are your problem.dead bastards body is not our problem in Ghana.:"MPENAMMA " dead body.what happens at the funeral is just evil that is why God is not ready to help again.

So the NPP has reduced the economy of the country to the amount of money donated at funerals and in churches! Now we know who should be called 'incompetent"
Ghanaians and love for funerals.
This comment shows how stupid Npp members are. You waste money on dead body but ignore him when he was alive. Stupidity in it highest degree.
Stupid talk
AS an MP you should have said something better to convince the people of Ghana and not offertory and funeral donations.
Now all Ghanaians understand why the president rightly described the NPP MPs as sleeping dummies in parliament. How can a whole Dr. speak this way if he was not sleeping and suddenly woke up to make such a stupid statement?
People with doctorate degrees talking unadulterated trash !!. There is a huge deficit of common sense and wisdom among some of our politicians and you sometimes wonder how they got elected or how they got their degrees!
This is the npp style.Very childish at this modern age when people are advancing they are still in their old age style.They should note that Ghanaians have never been satisfied since the time of Kwame Nkrumah.This type of tal ...

Am surprise @ this Doc, no wonder. Having A4 sheet is different from being a man who is pragmatic. there are various various ways to get the A4 sheet but lack of competency
Its very true funeral donations has. gone down. Yes, even after Abubakari saddiq sacrifices his life for akufo addo and Npp .akufo Addo can only donate Gh¢ 2,500 for his funeral as his end of life benefit
So is this why your constituency voted for you?Talk about poverty alleviation,reducing ignorance and developing your constituency not this cheap talk/politics.Anyway this is all that majority of out politician know.HE ONLY WA ...

My heart bleeds for the few fine brains in NPP. What a talk-
Is this guy an hournary doctor or a proper one? if yes where did he study? Poland?
Why not your Legon or KNUST
WHAT A BRAIN DEAD.
What type of illiterate logic is this? We've all these petty-minded people in our parliament, how can anything good come from that house. What a shame !
This fool has a doctorate and makes analysis like a five year old. With such people how can this nation ever progress. It's sickening and pathetic, absolutely no brainer comments.
WE LIVE IN A FREE COUNTRY SO ANY FOOL CAN SAY WHATEVER HE / SHE WANTS. TALK IS CHEAP.
ONLY FOOLS WILL SUPPORT YOU MR. NO-SENCE
IGNORE THESE PEOPLE. THEY WANT TO BE HEARD, WE HAVE, BUT YOU ARE NOT RELEVANT. THIS IS NOT COMING FROM SENSIBILITY.
Dr spoke about real issues. This was just in gist
HOW can an educated MP talk like this? Unless HE IS SLEEPING
NPP NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME.
MY GOODNESS,NPP MPs HAVE NOT ONLY BEEN SLEEPING ON THE JOB, THEY HAVE GONE GAGA! HAS GOD BEEN COMPLAINING OF GOING BROKE? OR THEY (NPP MPS) SUPPLEMENT THEIR SALARY BY OFFERTORY IN THE GOD-BUSINESS THEY RUN? SHAME , SHAME ,SHA ...

I repeat, you must be brain dead with a tinge of stupidity in your dna to be allowed to communicate for the npp. With people like these in our legislature, no wonder there is no forward progress.
No wonder. A bunch of them are coming from Ashanti region where funeral is merry making. U people will cause Akufu Addo's defeat. U r becoming so irresponsible and useless with cheap politics.
Offectories and funeral donation going dow,. This is good news. Ghanaians are finally wiseing up. I predict the end of expensive funerals by 2020. Everything in its own time.
Since Mahama took pver , even pussy price has gone up. Our sex workers are fighting each other for business.
it makes respected and knowledgeable people like this dr. Mark to loose respect and make foolish, unsubstantiated, FALSE,ignorant and non-research supported statement in NOT any other place but PARLIAMENT. It is indeed SAD t ...

It is an embarrassment to see people referred to as Dr. so and so making these kinds of statements in the Ghanaian Parliament. Where is the PhD mindset behind such utterances? I don't see it.
They have nothing constructive to offer, their stomach is their benchmark after that the rest of Ghanaians can go to hell.
What reckless generation are these? They live their lives by scheming evil and becoming overlord in c ...

How can a so called doctor open his mouth to a certain radius to spew this garbage in our parliament? Yet he is an Honourable man. What a waste!!!
If this assholes who priorities funeral and church donations are the ones we expect to govern us, then It will take 3 generations of 26million Ghanaians to differentiate between good and bad!
this shows the NPP is not ready to rule Ghana but rather to pay money during funerals,the man needs overhauling in his brain,
Ashantis like to make money when someone dies .
I FIND IT EXREMELY DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND WHY THESE NPP PEOPLE ARE SO STUPID?
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST STUPID STATEMENTS EVER MADE ON THIS PLANET.
May be Ghanaians for once have better use for their money than to donate it to charlatans and thieves.If that's the case all well and good
U need not to be mp
Use your time and education to teach Ghanaians on how to desist from spending their money stupidly and lavishly on unnecessary things and stop blaming govt. I wonder how with your degree you can talk like this. This brings to ...
