Well said pay them well but they should access private mortgage facilities for their housing.
There are too many loopholes available to milk mama Ghana.

Would members of his own fraternity,not be the very ones who would be in court,the very next the President issues such an administrative fiat?
What did he do when he lost his membership on a board[a sinecure appointment],only the President is clearly allowed by the Constitution to make?
Not too long ago,was the partisan GBA,of which he[Okudzeto] has been a past president,not in the news threatening to take govt to court for not providing "decent" and "fitting" accomodation for members of the judiciary?

So what is your point? The question is, will his suggestion benefit the nation or not? Just consider the issue at hand and evaluate the merit in it, rather than making stupid comments just because Okudzeto has, in the past, opposed such measures. You should be prepared to accept and consider suggestions from the opposition based on their merit rather than politics.

If Sam Okudzeto feels offended by the outrageous conduct of Laureta Lamptey,why is he calling on an "illegemate" President[this is a sentiment he,and others, have unabashedly and repeatedly expressed since the SC of verdict of last year;not mine],to take action? Going by his own statement,he certainly knows what can be done,does he not?

As again my brother. Well, may be she was living out of town.. and needed to be accommodated in the city because the job is located in Accra. But like you if her regular abode was in Accra prior to appointment,she should have stayed put until the new so-called official was was renovated, but not to her TASTE per se, but to the normal standard--- a toilet or two, a living room, 2-3 bathrooms, kitchen, , that's it!. NPP's Jake Obitsebi did same and eventually bought that same official house he had renovated with state money... This NONSENSE must stop!!!

This is one comment I have heard a senior citizen for a while. I understand this housing scheme was introduced in the Cold Coast time when to encourage people to study and take positions to build Ghana. Now that is past and out of date. These guys who are housed as part of their employment package even though are paid higher that others in similar positions, they have these facilities and many others not to mention.
Why can't they rent a place of their own if a junior worker can? This is the time to take this away from them and sell them to support the economy. They should be encourage to take loans to build their own houses. One sad thing is because thy enjoy these facilities some forget to build a house of their own so when they retires they have nowhere to go and it becomes a problem. In fact this should have happen many years ago so please act now.

Like many things we still cling onto it because of the colonial mentality of wasting anything and all things that do not belong to us personally. It is okay to waste "government money". Otherwise how much is Lauretta's salary to rent an apartment worth that amount? Her father was a diplomat so she is used to spending government money frivolously. She is a disgrace to the very position she has been appointed to. I am surprised that President Mills of all people appointed this wasteful person to CHRAJ.

Ms. Lauretta Lamptey and all those who have the same mindset like her are likely to end up in their family's houses after pension.Only lazy ,greedy and unproductive people will be obsessed about being housed by the State.

The USA with all her financial resources does not provide accommodation for the congressmen and women.They make their own arrangements for apartments in Washington so they can go to work at the capitol.
So why is Ghana,a struggling country providing accommodation for the public servants(from the president to the garden boys and 'security officers/watchmen')?There need to be a change for the better.It is one of the reasons government expenditure is astronomical.It is surely a fertile ground for corruption and pilfering.People who have houses in Accra and should have lived in them are living in SANTA CLAUS' bungalows rent-free and most likely renting their private homes out.
Until Ghana does away with this socialism mentality,there cannot be any meaningful forward march.
The other day,Jerry Rawlings was crying about furniture in his bungalow.If you are lucky to have a place to lay your head rent free,why can you not call Papa Carpenter and use some of the ill-gotten wealth for a set of furniture of your choice to make his day?
