THESE REDUNDANT CORRUPT FREELOADING MPs AND ARTICLE SHIT OFFICE HOLDERS DO NOT DESERVE EX-GRATIA PAYOUTS FOR BANKRUPTING GHANA AND GHANAIANS EVERY POLITICAL CYCLE SINCE INDEPENDENCE.

EX-GRATIA IS A PAYOUT FROM POOR SILLY TAXPAYERS TO GHANA'S CORRUPT USELESS LEADERS FOR BANKRUPTING ALL GHANAIANS, EXCLUDING THOSE WHO GET FREE FUEL, UTILITIES, HOUSING, CARS,CUTLERY SETS SECURITY AND HOUSEMAIDS, AND OTHERS IN THEIR FREE HOUSING PROVIDED BY THE POOR GHANAIAN TAXPAYER.

EX-GRATIA IS NOT MEANT FOR THOSE WHO PILE UP LOANS AND OTHER DEBTS ON GHANAIANS.

EX-GRATIA IS A PAYOUT FROM AN EMPLOYER TO QN EMPLOYEE FOR A JOB WELL DONE TO INCREASE A COMPANY'S EARNINGS FROM WHICH THE EX-GRATIA IS PAID OUT. IT IS NOT FOR EMPLOYEES WHO BANKRUPTS A COMPANY.

How do you define a Politician as non performing? Tell us the definition for that..Do all Politicians handle the money and resources to perform? If a Politician is not given the resources to work with, how can the one perform? Such a Politician cannot even organize community services.

Don't mind him. He doesn't know that article 71 isn't only about the executive. It includes parliament as well. Again, how does borrowing justify the non-eligibility of article 71 office holders for exgratia, Mr. Think Tank? Did they borrow to fund state projects or they borrowed for their personal projects? In any case, John Dramani promised to scrap it, and it should be scrapped altogether and not selectively. Who will be that refereee to determine which officer qualifies and who doesn't? We don't want any confusion.

Even if Mahama does not keep his word of entirely scrapping the ex gratis nonsense, the amounts and privileges involved must be drastically revised downwards. if this can be done, it will significantly discourage the incompetent opportunists and free-loaders from getting anywhere near the political terrain and that will considerably improve our development indices.

This exgratia issue should be looked at holistically. It's time nation voiced it's displeasure against it. Teacher and other civil servants work for 30 years and take home 30000 cedis. Mps served for 4 years and take huge exgratia aside huge car loans, housing loans and juicy sidekicks and allowances. It's insensitive to other civil servants.

Franklin Cudjoe how do you measure ‘performance’? Can you list any five criteria for assessing performance? When the discretion is given to inward looking pests and parasites like you do you know the injustice that will be caused? During the dark days of the PNDC rule in Ghana do you know that there was an attempted coup. When the coup failed, all the Akans who in the coup were murdered? But Kojo Tsikata reported one of your people,?Coursge Quarshigah to his parents for them to advise him? How about your Judgement Debt Contractor? How many of your own inward looking pests has he exposed? Let us strengthen the courts and constitutional bodies like CHRAJ and EOCO to do their work and stop spewing rubbish. Nonsense

There is no brains trust in the country. You only have scammers everywhere. Rawlings didn't want to pay tax so he ensured the Constitution exempted the President. You line up every four years to vote for a President who doesn't pay tax, but imposes all kinds of taxes on you. What sort of people live in that country?

Is only in Ghana that we reward nonperformance. Reward systems are aimed to recognize those who contributed positively to set goals. The desire to excel therefore is relegated to the background because it becomes a mandate to be rewarded whether one performs or not. The National Development Authority should set indicators to serve as a measure of one's performance and be assessed and rewarded accordingly.

The ex-gratia should be abolished totally. Politicians should live on their pension just like any other citizen. It's high time we do away with these hidden corrupt behaviors where politicians take from the state and share among themselves. Why should a politician receive ex-gratia but not a medical doctor, nurse, school teacher, police officers, etc. etc.

Ghanaians are expecting you to remind John Mahama to fulfill his promise of cancelling the ex gratia .
Or you have been promised a position which falls within the article 71 holders.

Hey, Hey, Hey. You are a fool. In 1957, did Ghana have oil money? In 1964, J B Danquah was caught conniving with the CIA to overthrow our democracy. Dr Kwame Nkrumah was elected through democracy, J B Danquah stood for elections in 1954 at Akyem Abuakwa for UGCC, but his nephew who was a CPP won the Akyem Abuakwa Seat as an MP. CPP won 34 seats, Independent won 1 seat and UGCC won only 3 seats but still J B Danquah-who was not elected-decided to use the BULLET TO OVERTHROW Dr Kwame Nkrumah CPP. Because of jealousy and unpatriotic Akyem Mafia, took bribes, plotted with the CIA to betray Mother Ghana. Do not BLAME the SAINT DR KWAME NKRUMAH- He NEVER built a house or one room for himself. He was SELFLESS LEADER. If Africa DO NOT UNITE-there we are being told to become GAY before we receive any loans. Akuffo Addo and Ken Ofori Atta borrowed over £13 billion and looted, looted everything-hen we had to go to the IMF/World Bank because we defaulted on our loans and interest payments. Akuffo Addo put his family and cousin first before the National Interest in 2022. 98 NPP MPs went to see him to ask him to remove Ken Ofori Atta but he refused to see his Party MPs. Akuffo Addo is a DICTATOR-I blame MY PEOPLE-Ashantis. ASHANTIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE VOTED FOR THE AKYEM MAFIA TRAITORS.
What Development Partners? Are you real Mr FOOLISH FANTI MAN OR NZIMA MAN? Let me explain to your illiterate mind WHAT BEING GAY WILL BRING TO GHANA AND THE COSTS. The WHITEMAN WANT TO USE BLACK PEOPLE. GAY SEX BROUGHT HIV/AIDS TO THE WORLD. SO, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO GET IN RETURN FOR BEING GAY? WE WILL GET HIV/AIDS. AND WHERE ARE THE HOSPITALS AND MEDICINES TO TREAT US? THE COST OF TREATING HIV/AIDS AND THE SOCIAL AND GENERATIONAL COSTS FAR OUTWEIGH ANY BENEFITS YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. YOU ARE A SHORT-TERM FANTI MAN. IN THE LONG TERM, GHANA WILL SUFFER IMMENSELY. THERE IS NO BENEFIT FOR BEING GAY. The white man sees black people as fools and followers of their STUPID culture. Have whites asked India or China to be GAY? My fellow black people-let us unite and feed ourselves. We should grow our own rice and tomatoes. The white man gives a loan and use another hand to take the borrowed money back through technical advice or assistance. We end up paying for the huge loans, interests plus the white man mortgages in the USA or UK.

They should cancel that ex gratia. Even developed and rich countries do not do that, how much more a country who can’t feed your nationals providing this kind of thing.

The Mahama government should just cancel the Ex-Gratia and also do away with the Council of State. What benefits does Ghana receive from these old people. Just direct those finances to benefit our youth and improve education.

It’s a stupid idea, waste of taxpayers money.
