Baffled as to why people are complaining about Mahama’s brother driving him. Of course Mahama’s security will incorporate his brother into his security system.
It is only the Presidential designated driver who should be allowed to drive him but no other person. This is not done anywhere in the World. In Uncle Sam’s country for instance, the President is never allowed to drive hims ...

@DotCom, trust me you would complain just about anything if you were an NPP member walloping in opposition, since you couldn't find any serious scandal to complain about
Is there an established protocol for driving the president? If there's then I will encourage the president to respect that

@P Djamgbe…Trust me, I would be reasonable. By the way I am not a member of the NDC. I have sympathy for the party but will criticise them as much as I do for the NPP. The NPP must stop complaining and provide real oppositi ...

P Djambe, are you normal? I dont think so like you wont bring NPP into this matter.
Stop comparing the President of a third world impoverished country like Ghana to the President of USA. It is just breach of protocol and it is illegal for non governmental official to drive a government vehicle. That's all.
People who were okay using state vehicle to drive around a chair will come and make noises here. lol.
Hehehe I can't stop Laughing.
You fall sick and go to the hospital to see a doctore you have not met or seen before. He prescribes medicine for you and you take it without fear. The president on the other hand is entrusting his safety into the hands of hi ...

Observers are worried, tell us which International convention prevents a president from enjoying closd bond with his family members.
Don't say what you do not know, President Obama was once driven with a driver from Chevy Automobile around the White House.
You want to compare your small poverty stricken country to Uncle Sam’s country which even one state out of the 50 states is far far better ? Sometimes I wonder the the thinking. The pettiness, the insincerity, the hatred et ...

Who designates the driver? Maybe Ibrahim is. Designated driver.
Also they likely needed just few mins to talk
Another storm in a tea cup! The President has a right to decide who chauffeurs him provided they are qualified to do so.

The other day he was criticised by some for flying back home using a normal commercial flight. NO MATTER WHAT THE PRESIDENT DOES THERE WILL ALWAYS BE CRITICS AND NAYSAYERS CRAWLING OUT FROM BENEATH A STONE TO COMPLAIN.
Most Heads of State and Heads of government in the Third world travel by commercial airlines. Most countries in the third world don't have presidential planes. Mahama flying commercial is no big deal.
Exactly - another storm in a tea cup de3 another storm in a tea cup! But I don't blame the Matemeho Brigade - they can't just sit there waiting for a major scandal to criticise whilst none is forthcoming
The President’s brother may form part of his Security Forces but he is not a member of his security when it comes to driving to places. This is just Common Sense. Mahama is very well read and experienced to know this simple ...

How do you know the brother is not part of his drivers (trained specially to drive presidents)?
If you don't work for government, you can't drive a government vehicle. Ibrahim is a private businessman and not a government official. While any police officer can drive the IGP in his official vehicle, the IGP cannot ask ...

Go and burn the sea if you don't agree with our president has done! These days every village idiot in Ghana thinks he knows best!
Shut up. If the president is ok with his brother driving him, what’s your problem? Nonsense!
It's not like these critics have the president's good or wellbeing at heart. They just love to complain. President John Mahama is a very seasoned leader and knows better than to spend time and energy swatting away annoying fl ...

DotCom, you would have complained the more about it if it had happened in former President Akuffo Addo's era. Hypocrite! Be objective and reason as a human being, for once.
That's why I keep telling people.. GHANAWEB keeps doing Foolish Tribal Politrick....How can they put up with this...Securities apparatus should Bring GHANAWEB to Book.
the most luckiest ever Ghanaian Mahama all positions hv enjoyed from even being a former president to president again. hmmm

Everybody has some unknown enemies which can take you by surprise ,president Mahama is being careful to protect himself which is one step ahead of his unknown enemies ...live is only one
Time will tell John Mahama can run around but cannot hide forever. The truth is like pregnancy.

@ Grandpa
Akyem Agyapadie storybook creators were never challenged. Today they are in power and don't want to be questioned . Is it an intidation or a threat?Do unto others what you want to be done to you.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. The brother is the most trusted personality around him.
Observers are obviously worried.
Well done Ibrahim , it shows the family is 1 and they love each other .
Akyem Maffia that's what John Dramani Mahama used to say in opposition. Do we have something like Mr Emmanuel Mahama maffia children ruling Ghana ?
There's nothing wrong with this arrangement. Leave the Mahamas alone. Stop making mountains out of mole hills.
Is someone fronting for his senior brother who's the President? It has never happened b4 in the entire history of Ghana to have Billionaire ,who is the brother of the President. Even Sir Gordon Guggisburg never had it.
Nothing wrong with it.
He is no more Dead Goat, but rather DEAD BULL.
He does not care about the feelings of Ghanaians.

Nepotism? Cronyism?
What is Mahama afraid of if he have clear clean mind. Why do you run away from your own shadow.
The question is whether Ibrahim Mahama is trained to maneuver the car in strenuous/dangerous situations. Security personnel driving high level state officials in the advanced industrialized countries normally undergo such tra ...

I think your comment is nonsense pro max xxxx and nothing else!
@Native Sage. Can you please tell us what is nonsensical with Charles's comments.
"Ibrahim Mahama chauffeurs President Mahama again".
And so what? Can't the man drive his brother?
@Cor Blimey. Please read Charles's input above. I believe that is what the issue is about.
Where is the security threat in this?Bomti could have driven his brother Akufo Ado if he had wished,it shows how respect the brothers give to each other
@Kevin Taylor has collapsed NPP. What you have written illustrates once again that our level of intelligence in Ghana is probably one of the lowest in the world.
@Kevin Taylor has collapsed NPP. Don't forget what the former Minister of Education said not long ago namely that : his car was attacked by gun men when he was traveling somewhere in the Northern part of the country. I think ...

Why too many comments have Nana Addo's name? The story was about Mahama and his brother.
Ghana resources belong to them, selfish interest first Mahama

Good one there. Nana addo would have organized guy and put budget on them to steal.
This a breach of security
Ghanaweb must spare us with such nonsense news, if ibrahim mahama is driving his who is the president of the country in so what. what is wrong with that,
The dwarf president was carrying chair around foolish was that not security threat most of their followers has mental issues
@Abraziaa. If there is someone with a mental problem then I guess it is you. What has carrying a chair got to do with driving a President?
Hahaha who cares? Let him chauffeured by his ex-girlfriend or Bokum Banku, for a ‘shit hole’ country citizens (like us) should be thinking about where our next meal will come from. Not about these gentlemen (Mahama & brot ...

What is wrong with a brother driving a brother?
Well done Alhaji, continue with that, for blood is thicker than water. Critics must not forget that Rawlings' mother was the head of his kitchen staff.
Imagine if Akufo Addo had done this.
Better than bathing in the sky but still a wrong is a wrong
The man himself don't respect ghanaians. He think most of them were illiterate. Only ghana can such a govt official 1 can become president. Dead goat
Your grammar even shows you’re the big illiterate over here.
Trust issues; if you don't trust yourself, you can never trust anyone. His conscience is manipulating him
And so what, is this news
PRESIDENT USELESS MAHAMA IS NOT SECURED IN THE JUBILEE HOUSE AND AFRAID OF HIS OWN SHADOW WHICH IS HUNTING HIM. JOHN USELESS MAHAMA WILL NOT SLEEP DA
That's the right thing to do.
He is no more Dead Goat, but rather DEAD BULL.
He does not care about the feelings of Ghanaians.

I know some will envy and be jealous
Let’s have our peace Ghanaweb. This is a non starter story.
He’s safer in his brother’s car than the reckless driving of the presidential convoy
This of course is. Rey important headline news
He should give the minister of defense and his personal driver to him for Parliament to approve
Aaaah NDC will kill Ghana oo
Is this newsworthy
Please let us focus on more important things than this. The President's brother cannot chauffeur him, but the President can ride in a public plane? There is no law in Ghana that prohibits his brother from driving him.
He decides and his is no small man .
If this was under Nana Addo hell will break loose.
Dat's wat good brodas do... they love each other as brodas....I'm Uber driver lookin for a car... plz can someone help me...0502807725

Imagine if this happened in Akuffo Addo's era. Our so called useless security experts would have found their lost voices. Nothing wrong with families and friends or Akyem mafia's mantra. The hypocrisy is so nauseating.
