    NDC are full of thieves. It will be in the best interest of Ghana to ban this political party.

    NOW THAT YTOU ARE IN POWER AND HAVE ALL THE STATE APPARATUS AT YOUR DISPOSAL, GO AHEAD AND INVESTIGATE THEM.

  • Maame Abenah 7 years ago

    Whoever advised Mahama to continue staying at a vice president of Ghana's residence after the NDC lost power was wrong. If Ghana follows the rules of law,there will be peace. If you do the crime,you must pay the price.

    Isn't it possible to explain something to a fellow citizen without insults? Do you have to bust a vein over something this simple?

    Our Ex-President is seeing the reality at last. This is the most honorable thing he can do in the present circumstances. He should go to his father´s house or Asiedu Nketia can give him one of his mansions if he (mahama) doe ...

    You said you wanted to keep it for yourself but we the people said no. "Buy" and "Keeping" doesn't even make a single difference. The common denominator here is that you are a documented corrupt leader.

  • josh 7 years ago

    The Parliamentary approval the President referred to was manipulated by him; recall that approval was not what the Committee had recommended. As we say the chickens have come home to root.

    Fmr. President Mahama I love your withdrawal may God bless you. Give it to them let their Vice president sleep in the Australia house and the No3. God will see you through I love you.

    Stop the lies. Amissah lived in Australia House which is what the Government provided him and is now vacant. Bawumia should move into Australia House and Akuffo Addo into Mahama's if that is what he wants. AA lives in Nima an ...

    Mahama's head has started working again. He was too dazed to reason after his horrible defeat by President Nana Addo. Now he can think far to withdraw his unreasonable letter. Better.

  • Joe- US 7 years ago

    Something is not right here: "you never requested...humbly withdrawn". If you did not or never requested, why do you humbly withdraw? I need to be schooled here.

    1. I urge everyone to read the constitution and notice regarding benefits to a former head of state, vice and speaker.
