I thought MP's were elected to go and serve their constituents not to go and enjoy state largesse. They must be very angry and quit their jobs, this time no $3m as in Black Stars case.
What good have they done this country?

Are MPs better than any of us? Why do they want privileges that other Ghanaians do not enjoy? Are these stupid MPs a special breed of Ghanaians? Nonsense! After all, did anyone beg them to become MPs?

The truth be told. All the money is gone. Corruption,nepotism (brotherism), open stealing, collapsing national assets (and banks) by and for friends, family and cronies. These have collectively brought Ghana thus far. Do you remember Otabil's vision of dark clouds over Ghana? The time is now.

In the UK and other European capitals Embassies pay for the use of VIP Lounges each time they receive officials visiting or transiting their countries of accreditation. The numerous officials who pass through are also transported at the expense of the Embassies. At a time when Embassies are resourced on ad hoc and irregular basis it stands to reason that the expenditures of the Embassies are cut down for the avoidance of embarrassments. What the Honourable Members of a Parliament do not appear to know is that in most of our Embassies, staff salaries are paid in trickles and delays often span over several months. The fact that their complaints are not made in public does not mean all is well with the Embassies. Our MPs must understand this cost cutting measure. In any case, it should be of interest to know that their European counterparts hardly use VIP Lounges and official transport when they travel. African "big men" like too much protocol........even including the "tree under school" MPs.

There is a military attache and a deputy military attache at Ghana's mission at the UN. I dont know what they do. I am yet to know the job description of Ghana's ambassador to the Vatican.

130 MPs too much! We should cut down on number of ministries and ministers. No more deputy ministers. The chief directors can deputize for the ministers when necessary.

They always behave like spoilt children - selfish, greedy and like being pampered; always fighting for themselves but not for the common good of Ghanaians.
