Editorial-Greed and Nepotism at the heart of Mahama’s government

Wed, 1 Apr 2015 Source: New Free Press

The New Free Press calls on all Ghanaians to rise up and condemn the grabbing of state properties left right and centre by the family members of President John Mahama without due process. We are very much concerned that family members especially his wife Lordina Mahama and his brother , Alfred Mahama are .

Once again we call on the authorities to investigate the first lady Mrs Lordina Mahama’s, purchase of 40 plots of government land around the trade fair site earmarked for a housing project for workers.

The recent purchases of military land in and around Accra that caused an outcry among some retired army officers are being secretly orchestrated by the first lady Lordina Mahama and the President ‘s brother Alfred Mahama. Our sources have informed that a total of 13 properties including the building that served as the office of the PNDC Information Centre under the erstwhile PNDC regime and served as a heritage site of remembrance of the revolution for cadres has been sold to the President’s Brother Alfred Mahama.

We are also informed that Alfred Mahama is behind the consortium that has teamed up with the company PetroSaudi to buy the Tema Oil Refinery. Mr Alfred Mahama we also learn is secretly trying to influence Members of Parliament with 25,000 dollars each as a sweetener to ram the deal through parliament.

Another shocking expose is that the Ghana Stock Exchange building and the Cedi House in Accra have been bought by President Mahama and his wife and that the government will now be paying rent on the buildings to the first couple.

We are gravely concerned about this state of affairs at a time Ghaians are really suffering and their standards of living have nosedived with Dumsor, unemployment and hardships.

We humbly once again call on the President to reflect on whether this is the correct way to fufuil his promises to the people of Ghana.
