Kufour should know better--
DIDN'T HE LEAVE HIS SON A HOUSE LIKE THE WAY NANA ADDO'S FATHER LEFT HIM A RESIDENCE? WHY IS MAHAMA DISGRACING HIS FATHER LIKE THAT? EVERYONE WOULD THINK HE WAS A HOPELESS MAN.
Why should a father leave a house for a son? John Mahama is a grown man who has earned a lot of money over the years. He can build his own house rather than relying on his father to provide him one.
So if an outgoing president chooses the Flag Staff House or the Osu Castle, or Job 600, his wish should be granted? Tweaaa!! As for this one, I do not agree with Mr. Kuffour!!!
IF MAHAMA KEEPS HIS CURRENT RESIDENCE, THEN NANA AKUFO ADDO SHOULD ALSO KEEP THE JUBILEE HOUSE.
I think Kuffour agrees on both getting houses but says the government has to decide. He did not say that Mahama should have VP house unless I missed that. In any case instead of government providing a house it might be bette ...

@Adjei: So if they choose flag staff house then they should have it? Only greedy African presidents will make that argument. Going forward no government bungalow should be sold or offered as part of ex gratia award.
IF PRESIDENT MAHAMA AFTER WRITING OF THE $28 MILLION DOLLARS CASH HIS BROTHER TOOK FROM MERCHANT BANK IS HOMELESS AFTER RETIREMENT HE DESERVES NO SYMPATHY. GO TO NEW TOWN, NIMA, ASHTOWN, BUKOM, AND OTHER SLUMS IN GHANA AND YO ...

Nope Kuffour, Ghana is not the property of only politicians. Why sanction the rape of Ghana? Is it because you got away with your lot and so the rape should continue?
Kuffour despite your age you are still not wise.
Can i go ahead?
On please.tnx
Another greedy person the nation isn't for politicians alone so you should think about the ppl too
I think Nana Addo must stamp his authority on this one!
Sorry but Nana is the President and if he is going to face the same issue one day! Just as President Kuffour has noted. He is going to be wise and not pressured in this matter. President Kuffour has spoken with wisdom a ...

Crazy and mad Ghana,I cannot believe exPresident Kuffuor is saying or thinking like this
Kuffuor is so greedy he can not see right from wrong. GHANA CAN NOT CONTINUE TO GIVE EACH FORMER PRESIDENT A HOUSING AND OFFICE ACCOMODATION IN THESE PRIME AREAS. IF HE THINKS IT WOULD OK FOR OUR SUBSEQUENT LEADERS TO BE LIVI ...

Pres Kufuor has an opinion just like anybody else, but that does not mean that you can insult him and call him a stupid politician. When will people like you start tolerating others for expressing their opinions. We are in a ...

He may choose to live on the moon for all the nonsense we don't care, but not in the vice president's official residence. Rawlings would love to live in the Osu castle, should that be awarded to him. You guys think we are foo ...

GIVE THEM WHAT THE CONSTUTION SAYS IS DUE THEM
Please disregard Kuffour's support re Mahama accommodation saga. I believe his stroke caused some form of impairment
Kufour was as corrupt as Mahama and he was the reason why Ndc came back to power, first under Atta Mills, then Mahama. He was so corrupt his own Ashantis claimed: "wofa 3gua ye ni asi". A man and his famies hiding offshore in ...

Why insult him? Cant you say your opinion without the insult? Remember you reap what you sow. That is God's law.
Everyone in Ghana knows Kuffuor lives at Airport and not Dzorwulu. He lives in the same house that he lived in before he became president and continued to live in during and after his presidency. The house was renovated and ...

So if the former President wants to live at the castle, he could have it. This does not make sense.
mr Kufuor we want u to tell ghanaians if ur accommodation was given when u left office and also Mills

The result of greediness is humiliation. Oh Mahama, why do you bring yourself so low after all the money you stole?
They are so stupid they fail to realize what is happening here. Kufuor "supports" Mahama over accommodation saga.
By the time this matter dies down and Bawumia moves into the building, Mahama will not be able to show his fac ...
