Most Ghanaian leaders are irresponsible, they cannot manage their own affairs. No doubt they kill to become politicians.

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 provided with upgraded security systems at state expense which he is still benefitting from. He has a new palatial mansion in the Aburi mountains and one in Kumasi. His kids bought state bungalows at very reduced prices in some prime areas in Ghana as their residences. Which begs the question as to why he would need another house at government expense. How many homes can one person live in? and at 75? Does the state provided home revert to the state when the former president dies?
It is just greed and sheer avarice.This whole system of free homes for former presidents is ill conceived and and stupid and should be scrapped. This is public service and when your time is up, pack and go to where you came from. You don't deserve a house for life any more than any other public servant. These guys steal enough money in office to buy private islands and do not deserve a thing. Fuck em!

Brilliant statement here. Kuffour does NOT need another home nor Mahama either. Mahama should go to his palacious gigantic home in Dubai. Besides, where did Mahama live before he became VP? Pls Mahama get lost.

He has a house of his own which he doesn't want us to know that he is corrupt and wanted this one too in addition. Don't give it to him it is a government property.

I don't think a one-term President deserves a house from Ghanaians. There's a reason he's a one-term President (i.e. incompetence). Do we have to reward incompetence?

A week ago Mahama was our president. No need for us to disgrace him, no matter what our feelings are towards him. He made a very simple request. If the answer is "No", let us do so respectfully. He has just lost the very difficult elections and no need of us to plié up more pressure on him. The country can afford to give him up to a year to stay in his current residence while he makes other alternate accommodation arrangements.

This matter should have been put to bed months before the election as a matter of policy. These sort of humiliating and degrading treatments after retirement are part of the reasons African presidents don't want relinquish their posts. Not that I'm advocating sitting put Jameh and Mugabe style.

Has Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur not vacated his residence? What makes it so easy for Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur to vacate the gov't safe house given him and it seems to be challenging for Mahama alone to vacate the residence of Vice President's and an asset of the state based on some agreement which seems to exist in only his head?
There is no justification for Mahama to be in that building. His Vice is not being subjected to any degrading and humiliating treatments. Have you asked why? How can an ex president bring on this so-called humiliating and degrading treatment on himself, in his attempt to blatantly steal a state asset and by that measure, equate it to some of the reasons why some African President don't want to relinquish power?
He has no business being in that building and Ghanaians are demanding he packs out of the Vice President's resident. His Vice has moved out of the safe house. Mahama must vacate the residence.

How can you send such a person to convince Jammeh. He is his supporter. If you plan on Jammeh Mahama will reveal to him every secret.
