    Good but sounds confused, why coated some of the money in dollars and some in cedis

  • Okukuseku 8 years ago

    You are ungrateful, after all the government is not obliged to give you anything just because Nuamah died during his service to the govt

  • BISCOT 8 years ago

    This is an unfortunate demand made by the mother of the Late Nuamah. Your son died in the line of duty. Can Ghana afford to pay every service personnel that dies in the line of duty? If you are getting whatever amount for the ...

    Was the vehicle insured ??? If so how much was it insured for ?? Where did the president's money come from ??? From Govt or personal pocket ?? It all makes no sense.

    .... While they are serving this country. They got nothing from the government. If Mahama has given you this money, why not thank your stars?

    This woman is greedy.

  • George Nutsugah 8 years ago

    Woyome did no work and was given GH51.2million. SADA board took GH200million and blew it into thin air. Nothing to show. If the negligence of the presidency causes a family to lose their breadwinner, GH20,000 is not enough co ...

    So how much do you suggest? Because someone has duped the country, we should go ahead given same amount as compensation to people. I wonder how people think and talk.

  • kwame 8 years ago

    If Woyome did no work and Kuffour and npp made him go to court and secure a judgement debt then he and his govt must have been very stupid. Period!

  • Hanson 8 years ago

    Mr. Kwame, I dare say you are either ignorant or mentally unstable to comment on the Woyome issue. Please don't invite us into your realm.

  • Trotro 8 years ago

    Kwame is not ignorant, you are rather ignorant about Woyome case or issue. What Kwame said is perfectly right.
