Why do NDC politicians have this extreme sense of entitlement?Even the former president Mahama refused to vacate the government issued residence for vice presidents because "he liked the place"and would wanted it as part of his retirement package.Some years back Rawlings complained bitterly about having to live in his own house because his government assigned residence was been repaired after fire destroyed it.Whether it is government cars,houses,equipments,visas,services or diplomatic previledges NDC politicians have shown insatiable greed and extreme entitlement to them.At the end of his terms at the UN the New York police didn't have to forcibly retake possessions of the vehicles,residence and Offices that were assigned to Kofi Annan.And we never heard of Kofi Annan buying one of those very expensive vehicles for 500 or laying claims to the very posh New York residence because"he liked it".I think charges,fines and possibly jail time will be needed to stop this culture of daylight robbery and looting by politicians when they are leaving office.

The VIP Lounge is exclusive to current government officials, not a wholesale patronage of past government officials. This stupid and inane mindset that 'once a big man always a big man' must stop pronto.

I fully support the government on this.

The mindless intercession by the silly Mavis Hawa Koomson must be reported to the NPP hierarchy and dealt with - she must be dealt with harshly for challenging order from above. Respect for authority is lacking in that godforsaken country.

VIP lounges of all our airports must be patronized only by current government officials. The right to use all VIP lounges in the country ceases once your party is out of power. This is the right policy and I applaud the NPP.

Ghana politics suck - ndc and npp keep doing exactly the same thing in a never ending cycle whenever they are in government. Here in the advanced countries how dare a government orders employees at state-owned institutions to stop their opponents from using VIP lounges because they are in opposition. No wonder we are still where we are now all these years after independence. What did Ghana do to deserve these two wayward parties? May the soul of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah rest in peace.

I was shocked when it became apparent that the security company that's in control of the Kotoka International Airport is owned and managed by the NDC's notorious Oti Bless, how can our government make this mistake ? The airport should've been the first to effect the change of government and put the loyalists of the new administration in charge. Beware of these NDC saboteurs . Please Mr President these NDC operatives have no love for this nation, they will choose politics over quality of life, they will love to sabotage you and loose their contracts. Remember what Ayariga and his cronies did at the Parliamentary appointment committee. These people are leeches and you can't possibly "appease" them so Nana Addo please I know that you want to give everybody an opportunity to serve our nation. I know that cronyism is not part of you, but this will be considered a gross negligence on the part of your administration if these loose cannons are allowed to remain place. Remember the Naayele cocaine saga, Let Kan Dapaah also get this important message.

The VIP lodge and other facilities are for current officials and former Presidents and Vice Presidents, as well as eminent statesmen. There are not there for use permanently for all former political office holders. If that were the case, every four years, the facilities will have to be expanded to cater for former and current officials.

We cannot continue to extend these courtesies to former officials. the constitution is clear about whom to extend these courtesies to.

Look at this man oooh. Ghanaians like post tooo much. After ur turn of office u become an ordinary man, u are no longer VIP as perceived. The only person who can be accorded such status is the former president, so what is his problem. This has nothing to do with NPP or any ruling party, Ghanaians should learn the true meaning of democracy and stop fussing over any little thing. If all past government officials from Nkrumah or the Rawlings era are to hold unto status such as former so so and so would he even get into the VIP lounge, off course it would overflow. If u loose get over it and stop the clinging to status.

5A 5000 YEARS OLD SECRET JINNI FORMULA THAT UNLOCKS THE MYSTERIES OF WEALTH AND SUCCES “THE HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING” A SECRET FORMULA unwritten until now, Remember the KINGS and their fabulous wealth? Even today the tomb of the KINGS yields spectacular quantities of GOLD, SILVER, and DIAMONDS AND OTHER PRECIOUS STONES. How did they ever amass these incredible riches? The ANSWER is given in this strongly HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING. The wearer of this RING gets AUTOMATICALLY anything wants he in his life, for e.g. MONEY, FAME, SUCCESS, HAPPINESS, LOVE, POWER, LUCK and so on, they are all yours 17 you are wearing the HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING. If you cannot see the light from where you stand perhaps you has been standing behind a pillar all this time. The appropriate time has now come for you to knock off aside the pillar which has been obstructing your success all these days and if you cannot knock off this pillar at least move out from behind it and see what all awaits you in this universe. Through the Gracious help of great GURU (SAGE) this hidden RING is brought out with a bold assert that no man has upon this world to pass away unannounced. Nobody is to bear a perpetual burden of privation and to court death as the ultimate resort beyond also suffering. This word of happiness is equally desired to be shared by all, but here are many who ping for it and in the long run fall a victim to relentless time not even able to make both the ends meet the other flourish happily in the lap of luxury and pleasure and roll on the bed of wealth. On the hold this GREAT RING after the performance of necessary ceremonies does not fall a prey to any serious malady, his life may be extended to one hundred years, fire, water and air cannot tarnish or destroy this person. He will never in any danger of calamity. Spirits, Demons, Evil of bad Luck, Evil spirits, Black magic will submit to him and never dare do any always pass their time in safety. The nine planets always smile upon them and even KINGs bear submission. This mysterious Ring is the best filler of all desire fear, Grief’s miseries etc. cannot appreciate to the door of the wearer: A person accounted with the RING may turn the council to see his opposes turn dump and loose the power of speech. It is the desire of the great GURU (SAGE) rather my behest that every person of means should hold this great RING which is permanent in stopping premature death. It is a river of vast wealth and reputation apenerial sources of fame and prosperity and the great amulet and charm of the world. Hold this Ring and make your life Glorious and great. Highly Efficacious. Life long and Durable. The cost of this power is too great but because on the special request of the world, I am charging all the devotees only a little amount of GH¢300.84.(+233547122212)

Why most northerners understanding is so hard. This is common sense, this place is for VIP"s, you're no more VIP, why should you go and have pressure there. Still you don't understand that you're out of office. Fool, the annoying part is that when my party come to power we will do the same thing. When is ndc coming to power again for northerners and ewes to rule us against . Incompetent people

The fact of the matter is that Ghana can not continue to be overburdened with privileges of spent diplomats, mps, etc. If that should be the case, then we would have thousands of "formers" scrambling for same scant resources that we have. The privileges end once you are out of office. They should understand this and stop the nonsense.

I am wandering what the reporter means by:" a pack of travelers"? Human beings, do not assemble in packs they assemble in groups, animals, such as wolves, assemble in packs.

The problem with Ghanaians is that everyone is a 'big man'. What is wrong waiting with the rest of the citizenry? Most past Ministers and appointees are suffering from some strange disease. I remember travelling from the US to Ghana last year, and this man kept looking at me, smiling and nodding as if to be recognized. I have been coming home but don't know our Ministers, MPs and all the host of honrables. When we got to Ghana, I saw him going through the VIP line, that's when it clicked that this SOB thought he was important and was actually looking to see if I recognized him. WTF, can these ex appointees get through their kinky heads that they are just as ordinary as the rest of Ghanaians?

Your rambling response to this thread depicts your lack of knowledge. Not only that, you appear to be a person who harbors hatred and resentment for people of the northern extraction. People like you should crawl back in the hole you came and should never see the light of day. There's nothing greedy about being accorded some degree of respect for once serving the country as ambassador. Something like this only happens in places like Ghana, where politics is rife with vindictiveness.

Ghanaian politics is rife with vindictiveness, hatred and tit-for-tat. It is therefore no wonder that politicians find it had to peacefully leave when their terms end. There is no reason why this man being a former ambassador should be denied access to a VIP lounge other than politics. If indeed the story is true that he was singled out among some NPP dignitaries for eviction from the VIP lounge, then the NPP government ought to be ashamed of itself for treating its adversaries with contempt.

Oh no! Contempt of what? This man's term of office is expired! He's an ex minister.... he doesn't have to wait for someone to tell him to vamoose from the lounge! He should have respect for the new officials! Is it that hard?

Moses Mabenga was a deputy minister and became a minister for Northern Region under John Mahama . He was very disrespectful as a minister to his people during his tenure . Before he became minister he was always fighting the substantive minister in the region . It was alleged that he plotted the removal of the Regional minister then ,later he lobbied to be appointed .

In the run up of the 2012 elections he openly told people around him that there is no way John Mahama who was then VP could become president .
A married woman by name Conellia Darsa, was introduce to him by John Mahama but he ended up sleeping with the girl resulting in the breakup of the girl marriage .
He has no respect and did nothing for his people.

Serves him right. Was he not the one then a minister sacked a whole regional police commander from a meeting? His power drunkenness has blinded to the extent that he still thinks he's a minister.
