Well, whether they've collected the money or not, it's still not too late to do the right thing by returning the funds or stop distributing the money.

I can only vomit each time I hear this idiotic Johnny's come lately open their dirty mouths. Akomea is only critizing the timing but not the diguise fraud.

What kind of unscrupulous, callous, merciless, belly thinkers MPs do we have parading our parliament house?

Just abrogate this nonsense of ex-gratia. No one coerced any of them to be MPs so Ghanaians don't owe them a pesewa. If anything they owe Ghanaians a service. They have sworn to be civil servants and not selfish servants. What a clan of hyaenas hiding under clandestine dealings to dry and ruin Maame/Daavi Ghana.

In a country where politicians could tell teachers their rewards is in heaven, it beats imagination that packages like this for extremely clueless MPs who can hardly speak English calls the president of the republic's judgement to question.

THIS PAYMENT IS INDEED WRONG AT THIS TIME THAT THERE ARE SO MUCH AGITATION & HARDSHIPS GOING ON THE COUNTRY. BUT THE SIMPLE TRUTH MIGHT BE THAT MAJORITY OF THESE MPS BELONG TO NDC SO MAAHAMA WANT TO PLEASE HIS PEOPLE MOSTLY.

Humbly return yours until all the agitations are resolved. This I know you will not do since you are one of the numerous selfish politicians in ghana.

This silly ass Akomea got his first installment in January. The second payment in February and the last check in March so what is this thief Akomea talking about?! He is critzing the timing but not the abominable deed. We don't have GhC10 million for thousands of teachers and doctors who train our children and keep us healthy to be productive but allocate GhC40 million plus to 230 lousy lazy MPs? MPs should be careful not to disturb the equilibrium of social justice in Ghana. This rip-off of our national treasury must cease ASAP.

MPs do not deserve that money. It has nothing to do with timing. Stupid politicians! Did this clown take the money or not? When it comes to taking money, you unite.

MP work is akin to contract. Some MPs who lost seat may not have something doing. UTAG and others are working so it makes sense to pay their arreas in bits. It is a constitutional . UTAG members will find themselves there

What is wrong with this government and their sense of priorities? They cannot afford to pay teachers and doctors a decent salary for their invaluable service to society but they can sponsor pastors to go to Israel on paid vacation and pay do nothing ,lazy and corrupt parliamentarians huge salaries and ex gratia payments. We created needless new constituencies, increased the number of ministers and paying judgment debts founded on invalid contracts. Why, why Mahama! What the fuck is wrong with you?

Has Nana Akomea rejected or returned his money yet? If he hasn't done that then he should shut the F**k up.

I challenge Akomea to set the standard by denying his ex-gratia or allow the state to use the sum to pay for the starving teachers.

Nana Akomea must encourage his colleague NPP MPs to show solidarity to the labour unions and boycott the payment of ex-gratia which, after all, was approved by 'illegitimate' President Mahama. The timing and morale of these guys collecting these figures are indeed absurd for a four year tenure. Ei Ghana paaaa. here we find yet another moment when MPs agree without any qualms ....money....shaaaame.

Something needs to be done to change this which is going to be difficult.

This politics will not wash! You collected your share secretly and went home! Thanks to the watchful journalists, else we will NEVER EVER hear from your dirty mouths! Now you are out to say the payment is "wrong?" Didn´t you pay when K4 was in Government? Did you tell us how much each of you took home? "STEALLERS!"

Nana Akomea is a hypocrite to the highest order. You see why I always advise Ghanaians to be careful with politicians? He has collected his money and turned round to blame the government for ill-timing. He wants the striking workers to see him and his party as caring. GOD DON'T PUNISH YOU NOW.

So Akomea's problem is only with the timing but not the quantum. So he would have preferred he took his in October instead of in January or April. It's all the same thing whether today or tomorrow. Undeserved money ending up in the deep pockets politicians because they control the national kitty.

Losing your seat smacks of lack of confidence voters have in your performance, thus not returning you to parliament and for this incompetence you should be rewarded with 300k cedis because the constitution says so. How absurd and insensitive can the leadership be; even the timing is all wrong.

The government could have handled this in a better way. They just dont have the skills to manage the country; simply the worst of team B NDC

And who says these idiots are here to work for us? They care more about their filthy pockets than the poor man in the street struggling to buy a ball of Kenkey.
