Your tribalism and hatred has no room here. Disagree on principle and ideas but not on ethnicity. It makes you petty!

Hon Agbesi is one of the people who do not vacate govenment bangalows years after their retirement. The presidential property is only given to whoever is the president so what is he talking about. In which country is this permitted? The out going president only have to hire removal company waiting to remove to make way for the incoming president. Both cannot share the same premises even for a day. President Mahama has looted enough money to afford his own accommodation. If he hasn't he should start making provision for one because he will vacate sooner rather than later

Deputy Majority Leader, Alfred Agbesi?

What is your problem?

Why is this man not talking about the Freedom of Information bill?

Rather, he is talking about more government benefits for an ex-president!

The person already had a residence before they became president, in the first place. The person who is the loser or term-limited (ex)-president, ought to vacate, period.

It's ok hopefully there will be a speedy transition to prison but if he's smart he will take the private plane and go into exile

Agbesi your arguement is a non starter.
The moment a new president is sworn in,he replaces the old in office as well as residence. The NDC knows they can make laws on the fly.

Just change the damn election date to early November and stop asking for extension of the lease for the president,we cannot extend the free lease for the outgoing president whilst the incoming president is looking for a place to stay,the request is foolish and has been denied,we will get the Sherrifs to evict any president that will over stayed the lease.

Any president in office for four years should be able to build his or her own house within that four year period,they get everything for free so no need to cry for extension of lease.

Mr Agbesi there are many government residences that past presidents can be accommodated. Flagstaff House and The Castle must not be one of them. Once voted out of power , the president and his family MUST vacate official buildings of The Presidency. For smooth transition the president must move out for the new President.

You should rest assured that Mahama will be given enough time to vacate the residence. After the results are declared in December, he can leave in January.

Money swine, bullshit walks. What a cheap talk? Politics has become business to fleece once own country. In #10 Downing Street, London, the seat of the PM; the incoming PM moves in 5 to seven days on determination of which party won the elections and the outgoing PM leaves. In compare, at the White House with respect to the inauguaral ceremony of the president elect, the immediate former president is seen off by the newly sworn in president and the former leaves by a helicopter to his/her home state. Its a matter of hours not days. Mahama even if he is given five years transitional period, he will come back and ask for more years. Lets learn to respect the constitution and the rule of law. The presidency is the Peoples' House and not for individual. Again, Agbesi should ask himself, "where does the new president reside while expresident occupies his abode/office". Cheap talk and losers will ask for stay of extension by an expresident". This is bs'ing the good people of Ghana. Defeat is clearly stirring NDC in the Dec 7, elections. What a happy ending for Mother Ghana when that day comes? Government property is for hovernment and the people of Ghana. When your terms ends you mut vacate the property. You ndcidts have enriched yourselves far more than necessary to ask fot more time stay in government buildings.
