    Nonsense, where was he living before he moved into that residence? Did this old guy know what the law says? The law stipulates that he should move from his government residence a day before inauguration.

    Does this man know ...

    No wonder Ghana is in this state of mess if we have an old corrupted mind like this to be a so called statesman. Is Ghana safe?

    He can join the children at Osu Children's home while they build a house for him after building one for Liman, Rawlings, Kufuor, and Attah Mills. Mahama will be the last to receive his house from the state.

  • GFrostK: K.B. IS GETTING OLD 7 years ago

    NO GHANAIAN IS STUPID NOT TO UNDERSTAND THAT MAHAMA COULD MAKE THE REQUEST ALL IN THE RIGHT SENSE. BUT K.B. MUST ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT IT CONTRAVENES THE STATUTES. IN EUROPE & AMERICA, YOUR WIFE MUST AGREE BEFORE YOU FCUK HER ...

    Transition Act said he should leave.
    Emoluments committee did not recommend any residence for him but a 40% increase in his tax-free salary.
    Mahama's request was a grand ploy to steal Ghana and everything is wrong with tha ...

    In the first place, Mahama is not a pauper. Secondly, the state does not have an obligation to provide accommodation for him till he dies. Thirdly, is he saying that tbouhout his entire official life with all the perks he has ...

    You would kick the greatest ex-president that Ghana has ever had to the curb? Cold and heartless. You must not have a V8.

  • Tomas Atsu, Nkwanta VR. 7 years ago

    That convention must stop. No more a house for ex presidents. Allowance for accommodation is enough. They are paid tax free. Take xgratia. And they want a house too? What kind of nonsense is this.

    WELL SAID KB. YOUR COMMENT IS PURELY NON-PARTISAN, IT DEMONSTRATES COMMON SENSE, INTELLIGENCE AND MATURITY. IF GHANA HAD RECEIVED THE LOAN THAT OSARFO MAFO DIVERTED INTO A SALON IN NEASDEN LONDON, WE WOULD HAVE BUILT A BUNGAL ...

    You are right. However, Mahama should have thought of his accommodation before giving a house to Akua Donkor. Maybe, with his allowance Akua Donkor can give him a house to rent.

  • RASPUTIN 7 years ago

    Temporary stay is reasonable but he wanted the bungalow give tone given to him permanently. Please don't use your diplomatic finese to justify the indefensible. He said he wanted the property to be part of his retirement pac ...

    This is balderdash. If we go by this twisted way of thinking, a future president may one day ask for the Jubilee house to be used as his private office. I don't understand why a house officially designated as the residence of ...
