    "...decided to travel to the UK to “cool-off”.

  • MATHS 10 years ago

    But why do these politicians think they are deceiving anyone with their lies? What is wrong if you tell the truth that someone is not well? Is it not human for anyone to fall sick from time to time? What is uncalled for in on ...

    Toilet paper 'Daily Guide' is telling you he's been flown to an unknown destination, people trust that rubbish? It's a fact Mr Woyongo did not go to London for medical reasons.

  • MATHS 10 years ago

    How long has he been in office to need cooling off with state funds? There is just no sense in what this small boy called Deputy Minister has said. If Mahama continues to appoint such idiots to positions of responsibility he ...

    Is the defense not allowed to take his leave? To you it might be too early but to him, he had been minister for upper East region, solving the Bawku conflict, before becoming defense minister. A well deserved rest indeed.

    this is how people can lie to themselves. what is wrong with admitting the man is sick but NDC is full of denying the undeniable so lets just leave it as wait and pray he come back soon after the cooling off

  • The real Truth 10 years ago

    Maybe he's checking his "prostate" like Nana Addo just did on the Nepotism People's Party "water- tight evidence" before the Supreme Court.

  • dan 10 years ago

    So what are we supposed to believe this time round?? The propaganda has come home to roost. What does 'cool off' mean? recover from illness? workout in the gymn to reactivate weak muscles? What the hell does that mean??
