    Mahama has 16 siblings, so he does not care about his father's property, and steals from the rest.

    Blind man leading the blind.

  • Constructivist 9 years ago

    The President talks as if he is providing any quality leadership. These civil servants are purely replicating Mahama's poor and visionless and directionless leadership.
