Only create, loot and share cabals would disagree with Mr Short's statement. NDC Thieves like "Love" who are nation wreckers ought to bow their heads in shame. But these goons have no sense of discernment. They do not even know where to draw the line. No sense of morality or shame.

Even in the US where the US govt has the resources to afford residence for state employees of higher standing, ppl like senators and congress men and women pay their own mortgage and if your term is over, you have the right to sell your house and move back to your village.
Obama as a US senator was renting his own 2 bedroom apartment in DC and at the same time paying mortgage in Chicago.

Didn't I warn you about Lauretta. She does what she does because she knows she has the clout to do as she pleases. This was Tsatsu's student and girlfriend and was put up by Tsatsu in a paid apartment in New York for years. It does not surprise me, but she is not the only one doing the foolishness and getting away with it. Mamle Coffie (former ambassador to China, Mills appointed) stayed in a Ghana government paid hotel in China for years because she did not think the residence was good enough for her without renovations. The whole CHRAJ agency ought to be scrapped, these agencies are created just to give the NDC girls and boys the opportunity to loot. What good is an agency where the head can be gone for months, I doubt if those left behind are working anyway and if working, on what? This bullcrap is happening all over the place so not sure why this guy is acting shocked.

It is time for the government to scrap government paid housing and vehicles for officials -- no serious country provides housing for anyone less than Vice President. They steal enough from government anyway, and by the way don't they all draw pay checks to rent/buy their own homes/vehicles? The country is broke but the officials want to live like kings and queens.

SEX before employment or appointment must stop. Employment especially in government must be based on qualification which should include BECE and SSSCE certificates.

There are many fields where Ghana lacks the needed expertise. To solve this problem the government of Ghana has over the decades made scholarships available for the needed human resource to be trained abroad. In some cases so many people were sent and not even one returned. If you know you are not prepared to work and live in Ghana and would therefore not return do not take the scholarships.

That is it. Not until this practice of government top men and women occupying state bungalows, driving state cars, etc., Ghana will NEVER be able stand on its feet. No amount of IMF loan, foreign aid, etc. will be enough for Ghana. Count the number of Ghana's state employees, who get all these for free, and see how much of the loans Ghana takes that get spent on those people's housing, utilities, cars, drivers, personal assistants, and "macohmen" and "machowomen". Oh Ghanaians - we, indeed, have a problem.

I have said that the all educated elites need to be shot at Teshie one by one before Ghana can be developed.

It is idiotic to see stupid people coming here to defend NDC or NPP. All of them are crooks and criminals and the earlier we start demanding accountability from our leaders (from both parties) the better for our country.

This woman needs to be shot.

IN MY CASE, I HAD ALWAYS SAID THAT I WOULD NOT DIE FOR GHANA BUT LIVE FOR GHANA - GHANA IS NOT INTERESTED IN DEAD BODIES, BODIES THAT HAVE NO FEELINGS, BODIES THAT DO NOT CARE FOR AND ABOUT TOMORROW.

I guess pretty soon Karikari and his media gang will not get prominent people to be interviewed. We didn't hear Karikari during NPP era criticizing that party on urgly things but now he is doing politics on NDC with his media privileges. That is bad and I don't dig it.

For somebody of her stature and a native of Accra who doesn't own a house and was living with her mother at her age, you would think she would be more prudent with the tax payer's money. She ought to be ashamed of herself. Would she pay $5,500 a month to rent a place had it been her own money ? The lady couldn't even afford her own place after her mother traveled to the USA as she alluded to on joy fm today. This is the individual mandated to check other public officials to use our scarce resources prudently. Justice Short said today the bungalow was habitable when he left but this lady who didn't have a pot to piss in, wants to live in luxury at our expense. God help us.

The SANTA CLAUS definition of government.Would she have spent her hard earned savings in this frivolous manner?No,no and no!Under no circumstance. Jamais!If she had to pay for the hotel lodging from her private account,believe me she would have preferred to go and SQUAT in Volta Hall and SAVE the money.
But here we are,Santa Claus, the good Samaritan who has free money from taxing hard working citizens, will bear the cost.
If i have the choice,i will liquidate ALL the government housing units so everybody(except residences for the president and the vice)will make arrangements for their private accommodations.
This needs to be investigated by the BNI(this should be honorable and worthy of emulation than demolishing toll booths).
