This goes to suggest that the MP's careless about the common man on the street. c50,000 can even buy a house and that is how much they are taking as a rent p/a. The MP's common fund is also there to be used which is not properly accounted for.

It is not their fault, it is the fault of the president. He is one them. Can't we ever have a leader who would always consider the interest of the country first before politicians and party? It is a shame!

So, who and who occupy government bungalows in Ghana? If State Ministers occupy government bungalows and majority of ministers are MPs, then why give those ministers that 50,000 Cedis rent allowance? Is this not double dipping? Why can’t they pay their rent like every Ghanaian worker? We’ve free car loan here, free petrol there, free phone bills and on and on and on—while the nation is damn broke!!
What about rent allowances for Regional Ministers and District Chief Executives (DCEs)?
See, folks, "the only time these THIEVES agree on things and work together is when their benefits are at stake." Immediately after they've STOLEN for themselves, then they jump on each other’s throats. BASTARDS!!

Good job Mr. Baah we need more of you people in the country. It is about time to re-look into our constitution. Mp's in Ghana are living like the queen of England on the expense of the poor and inocent people who put them into power. I strongly agree with your ideas of an MP vilage. It is very outragious to be given fifty thousand as rent to them which of cause are still going to be giving car allowances with free fuel. It is only in Ghana that Mp's are given free accommodation. A country where the minimum daily rage is less than $2.00. Please mr. President, all children in Ghana deserve equal education. Our health system is at stake. Our hospital building are colapsing. Please MP's dont have to live on the expense of the tax payer and poor who voted them into power. Thank you Mr. Baah for bringing this up!

so ndc has no faith in the supreme court so needs to now pressure the INNOCENT to by force take sides and support them . We all assumed chiefs are not supposed to be indulging in partisan politics , this pattern of blaming others or the innocent will come back and hit them hard as its a sign of not only incompetence but malicious intent so widespread in that party that we shall sure see war in Ghana sooner or later . Remember FREEDOM AND JUSTICE , UNITY but not tribalism . If the person is not a northerner or ewe they think they have the right to humiliate or defame them at any time because they have a few traitors of the Akans in their ranks ?Hitler even had jews and other collaborators but still met his end you bunch of goats

I do not support the building of the houses. They will turn run pass a law and buy them even cheaper. They are paid GHC7,200.00 far more than what most Ghanians are getting, they should use part to rent.

Just pay a good salary to all and let each person pay for their accommodation from their income. When they die, their salary seizes to be paid and therefore the allowance made for accommodation.
