All because John Mahama wanted to build a new one, claim it is bigger and more spacious and then then keep the existing one. Teachers in Ghana still do not have chalks and schools are still under trees.

When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwesi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwesi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwesi Pratt can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Pratt and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratt's recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Pratt has the guts to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

Who in their right mind would spend $14 million to build vice presidential residence in a begging country like Ghana ? Third World people with third world mentality.

This project and the cost was done with creation of the loot in favour of Mahama himself. Mahama was the benefactor of the excess money. Do you remember the then vice President Amisah was not happy and had to write to complain to the council of state. Why the council instead of Mahama, his boss.

CHRAJ must not wait to be petitioned before it investigates this clear case of corruption involving the erstwhile Mahama administration. Asiedu Nketia must also be prosecuted for attempting to throw dust into the eyes of Ghanaians over the issue. GHANA does not belong to the NDC, and the Commissioner of CHRAJ must not protect them because he was appointed at the very last minute by John Mahama.

The official VP's residence, which President Mahama illegally occupied, is one of the most secure buildings in Ghana, aside from the Presidential house itself - that is one of the the reasons President Mahama preferred that location. Please don't try to justify wrong doing by flimsy excuses it is Ghana that suffers!

Right response. Mahama illegally occupied the vice presidential residence. He should be made to pay for the loss to the state. The fact that you are the president does not give you the privilege of occupying both the president & veep residences at the same time. This guy is greedy. Why should this happen? Amissah Arthur had to be housed somewhere else and paid for just because Mahama wouldn't quit the veep's residence after becoming president. In the end, he wanted to usurp thst residence. What a man

President Mahama's actions regarding the VP's house was criminal:-

1. He violated Ghana's constitution by willfully occupying the officially designated VP's house, when an official Presidential house was available.

2. President Mahama's arbitrary commissioning of a second VP residence (without parliamentary approval), at acost of $13 million constitutes financial loss to the state. He should be prosecuted to refund this money.

3. The idea of African Presidents doing what they want while in office is repulsive, to say the least. Mahama is a typical lawless President.

IT IS CLEAR THAT MOST OF OUR POLITICIANS ARE ENEMIES OF THE SAME PEOPLE WHO ELECT THEM. THEY DO NOT FEEL SHAMED THAT SPENDING SO MUCH ON THEMSELVES DEPRIVES SO MANY OF THEIR BASIC NEEDS. MONEY THAT COULD HAVE BUILT 600 HOUSES FOR MIDDLE INCOME EARNERS IS "WASTED" ON JUST ONE MAN OR WOMAN BECAUSE S/HE IS A POLITICIAN. IT IS CLEAR THAT BEING A POLITICIAN MEANS HAVING ACCESS TO MONEY??

then we won't do anything in this country, because, everything we do in this country has a cost and that cost could do Manny other important things but that does not take away the fact,that as a country we need to have a befitting villa for our Veep. We must discuss issues of national importance dispassionately devoid of political colours. let's recollect when his Excellency president J A Kufor wanted Ghana to have a new seat of government and the negative comments that followed .For the sake of our discussion ,we will give just one example of such comments. The minority MPs at the time indicated, that the cost of the proposed new presidential villa could equally build a number of hospitals for the country. Almost ten years down the line , those same comments are emerging with regards to the on going vice presidential villa. must is it always be that because, money intended for certain projects, must be discarded just for the reason ,that it could do many other things. let's all those who argue this way go to their homes, they will see an item in there, the cost of which could pay the school fees of many students in his or her village. I rest my case.
