    Incompetent, corrupt, useless and at best stupid. Primitive so-called leaders.

  • yahaya 12 years ago

    He has violated the constitution with his foliage and gimmicks. Most useless president. Enough with your propaganda, rhetorics and promises. Akonfem Agambire president. Limann was even better. Tribalist idiot.

  • TRUE GHANAIAN 12 years ago

    Those who hate will cosume themselves in hatred. JM will continue to be the president and we the people will continue to demand that akuffuo Addo produces his law certificate.

  • kkd 12 years ago

    you are fool mr president

  • kwasi 12 years ago

    The President should not earn any extra incomes that would make him pay taxes. So the sale of books and eggs is unconstitutional.

  • Woman 12 years ago

    I am not particularly a fun of the president but hey, he is our president and it makes no sense insulting him in this or any other context. tijani, zoobie-zoobie, and kkd: you must be ashamed of yourselves.

    The President filed his tax returns, and this is an obligation on all citzens of Ghana as by law. But that should not be the same as paying tax

    What is such a big deal bout a thief filling his tax returns.

  • ERICUS-ERICUS 12 years ago

    INTERIM PRESIDENT MAHAMA'S ACHIEVEMENT IN HIS FIRST 100 DAYS IN OFFICE IS ONLY FILLING OF HIS ILLEGAL TAX RETURNS

  • TJ Hooker 12 years ago

    This government is in total dilemma. Filing income tax return is completely different from paying tax.

  • SASCOBELLA CO.LTD. 12 years ago

    This is just a ploy to sure political points, Mahama is not a saint as he wants Ghanaians to believe. Infact he should go back through he's life time and pay on all income before some of us would believe him.

    Limann is far better than this idiot. Limann was not corrupt and the noblest of all the President we have ever had.

  • British Chartered Accountant 12 years ago

    Ghanaians are VERY GUILLIBLE. Tax return filing is not a big deal. Any highly qualified accountant with a clout can advise the president. I advise Mahama to seek help from Accountants with the ff letters: ACA, ACCA, CIMA, FFA ...

  • Balawo President 12 years ago

    If he was paying his taxes for the period he was vice-pressident he should have paid before the end of march. I wonder if he paid any penalty for failing to pay before the deadline.

  • Yaw Adu-Asare 12 years ago

    Kwaku Azar has attention-seeking in his DNA.

    Why has Stephen Asare not questioned Kufuor's per diem accumulation?

  • Richard 12 years ago

    The issue raised was Mahama filing his tax return late, I would have been happy if this statement addressed whether the President actually filed late and if he did has he paid the penalty as required by law?

  • Woman's wisdom 12 years ago

    Mahama must be deposed instantly for several reasons:For instance if what you did is exemplary then it is a bad, very bad presidence indeed. Taxes must be filed from Jamuary to 31st March. Anyone filing taxes thereafer pays p ...
