I support this call 100%, most of the government travels are not essential and does not bring anything back to Ghana. It is all about getting per diem payments, frequent flyer miles and meeting their concubines in their hotels. This should not only be limited to ministries but also include party executives and others such as Nketia on president's entourage unless party is footing the bill. Implementation is always the problem so we will see where this new policy goes but otherwise is a step in the right direction.

Next look at consolidation of ministries, there is so much duplication in the system, a country with our resources should not have so many ministries/ministers.

This man takes the country for fools, after squandering our meagre resources on non-ministers and non-entities like Akua Donkor and Asiedu Nketia on fruitless foreign trips, His Incompetence-in-Chief is now polishing up his image for 2016 - after the horses have left the barn. Since when did he realize these leachy entourages are no good for the country? Just get your ass out of there, we cannot afford your wasteful, incompetent and corrupt administration.

JOHN MAHAMA MUST STOP HOPPING FROM COUNTRY TO COUNTRY WASTING OUR TAX MONEY AND STAY IN GHANA TO SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS. HE AND HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS SHOULD ALSO STOP STEALING OUR MONEY AND BUILDING HOTELS AND MANSIONS IN DUBAI AD EUROPE. THEY SHOULD STOP INFLATING THE PRICES OF PROJECTS SO GHANA CAN REDUCE BORROWING. WHEN HE IS SAYING ABOUT UNNECESSARY TRAVELS HE MUST LEAD BY EXAMPLE.

NDC propaganda machinery tell us all Ghanaians are corrupt and born so but i beg to differ.When we take tro tro or a taxi there is no ndc foot soldier there to try make us pay a bribe before we can get in ,when i go and buy kenkey or even roasted plantain kofi brokeman there is no need to bribe anyone , no one needs to bribe the farmer,fisherman,market woman, teachers or private businessmen to do their jobs or render services.The moment i come close to anything where the ndc has a foot hold then the agony anguish and frustrations start as they demand bribes or foolish payments especially when they find out i am Akan.I notice that the modus operandi of crime,discrimination,injustices,prejudice,tribalism,hegemony,cruelty,buga buga bullying and corruption always has one common denominating factor and that is NDC membership. The first thing any criminal does is ensures he is above the law and seeks NDC membership,then the game of double standards start.If they are Ewes , Northerners or satellite allies such as the Gas/Adas then they are truly untouchable , if they are Akan then they can be used as sacrificial scapegoats(see Vicky Hammah and compare to Dzifa Dattivor re branding).Yes NDC has become an accursed abomination that has put a dark cloud over the people.They know nothing about democracy or understand the principle of unity in diversity so assume a difference in opinion or approach is a sign of crumbling fortunes or disaster. They do not see that even though the Russians and Americans are always competing with each other they think that they are enemies but do not notice in every major war they are always allies on the same side , they same way they interprate the diversity of the Akans to mean enmity which they think they can exploit. Turkey tried it but were surprised when the CIA confirmed the Russians were speaking the truth . That is the mindset of outsiders , foreigners and manipulative Muslim rats.These people can never be Ghanaians and must be driven out of our country so we have our peace of mind. They are afraid of encouraging unity in in diversity , equal rights for all as all they know is ONE mind NO brains as we see in primitive societies and countries like northern Korea and the majority of these useless Muslim countries. This philosophy of one mind no brains is the reason they were alarmed at Mahama being endorsed with only 95% votes , why we have hegemony and tribalism in these Ewe and Northerners , why the divine will of God which enables the people to choose will be sabotaged by their rigging. They have alienated themselves from the true desires of the people what just want a normal govt which will look out for their well-being and interests , NDC is nothing but a blind, cold hearted wicked mafia Al Capone style criminal organization which will only succeed in causing misery and tragedy. We have succeeded this year on exposing them next year we shall knock them out and bury them forever. When they killed Atta Mills we promised them Ghana will never be the same and we would bring them down , now we promise them we shall start with the body punches , dismantle the effectiveness of their props the security agencies and prepare the people for war. Let them buy their guns and we will show them that cutlasses and stones are more effective as for every one defender we field they have to have 10 and behind every one another 5 to support their logistics because we defend our homes and they are an unwelcome occupational force . Notice how everyone is now fed up with this pepeni govt

O boy! so these people know what is right, but decided to rob us of our wealth. It is election time, so they are throwing dust into our eyes. People of Ghana these people don't have your interest at heart. NDC is a poor group of 'KAYABALE SANDALS WEARERS' whose agenda is to enrich themselves as quickly as possible as evident by what Vicky Hammah was caught on tape saying. VOTE INCOMPETENT MAHAMA AND HIS USELESS NDC OUT IN 2016.

That's sheer NONSENSE, President Kofi Dagaati. Why should it take that freeking long for you and your administration to figure out that "as a poor nation, we couldn't, and still can't, afford" all those frivolous SILLY and unprofitable trips abroad. I know that other governments before you also foolishly did the same foolish things.

WHY DO WE HAVE EMBASSIES ABROAD, anyway?? The Ambassadors and the High Commissioners can easily do much of all these tasks—without paying for these “bad-English/French speaking government officials” to come here (USA) and other places abroad to expose their ignorance, stupidity, naiveté and ugly dressing to the Whiteman in the western world. Remember Asiedu Nketia in Germany some time ago??—women’s dress!!

Since your ass is at it, Mr. President, I will recommend—for urgent consideration—ABOLISHING the FREE bungalows & utilities offered to PAID government officials in the country. These are all legacies of Mr. BOBO (the White man), but he is long gone. Scrap the damn mumbo-jumbo off and SAVE SOME MONEY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE DAMN (Mickey Flick) COUNTRY.

Kwame Nkrumah gave the northerners free education because he felt because their land is not as fertile as the south, educating them will help ease the inequalities that may arise as Ghana develops. Now you have a northerner who enjoyed those benefits saying Ghana can't afford free education for the rest of the country yet his administration has money to buy 10 turbines for over $500 million and painting buses for over GHC 3.0 million.

If Ghanaians keep this man in office for another four years, Ghanaians will have themselves to blame, Just like Rawlings stagnate Ghana for 19 years.

I disagree with your ignorance about the reason why Nkrumah introduced free education at independence. If your history teachers did teach go and look for the colonial policy for the protectorates at the time, Northerners were used on the cocoa and coffee farms as labours because they had the physic,the technology to make farm tools and till the land because that is what they do best whiles you southerner were learning because you were food gathers. Has it cross your little brain to realize that northerners don't eat plantain cocoyam and cassava as staple food in the north?but feed ourselves? So don't change the history by lying that free education was as a result of infertile land.The colonial masters after seeing the damage they did the north left out money to development the north and Nkrumah used the money to develop the south slap the north with free education of which your Busia Government council it after after the 1966 over throw of Dr Nkrumah.If you have nothing to write about don't tickle yourself and laugh because the president is working and those whose lifes are touch will show the way come 2016

Ban foreign exchanges for the hajj and tell Muslims to use their monies to build schools in their zongos rather than spending them to feed the airlines as they, the Muslims, take the trips to Mecca to cast stones at the devil who never gets hurt or dies. If such practice is not idolatry, then what is it?
Thank God, Christ the eye-opener and the redeemer and the liberator and forward-looking and the civilizing force said at John 4:21-24: "Woman," Jesus replied, "believe me, a time is coming when you will worship neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem...Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshippers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshippers my Father seeks. God is a Spirit and His worshippers must worship in the spirit and and in truth."

2. Stop paying all those unnecessary allowances to state official - clothing allowance. Entertainment, etc.

Aseidu Nketia was traveling by plane and in urgent need to use the mens room is nervously tapping his foot on the floor of the aircraft. Each time he tried the mens room door, it was "OCCUPIED".

The stewardess, aware of his predicament suggested that he go ahead and use the ladies room, but cautioned him against using any of the buttons inside.

The buttons were marked "WW, WA, PP and ATR".

Making the mistake that so many men make in disregarding the importance of what a woman says, the man let his curiosity get the best of him and decided to try the buttons anyway.

He carefully pressed the first button marked "WW" and immediately warm water sprayed all over his entire bottom.

He thought, "WOW, the women really have it made!".

Still curious, he pressed the button marked "WA" and a gentle breeze of warm air quickly dried his hind quarters.

He thought that was out of this world! The button marked "PP" yielded a large powder puff which delicately applied a soft talc to his rear.

Well, naturally he couldn't resist the last button marked "ATR".

When he woke up in the hospital he panicked and buzzed for the nurse.

When she appeared, he cried out, "What happened to me?! The last thing I remember is I was in the ladies room on a business trip!"

The nurse replied, "Yes, you were having a great time until you pressed the 'ATR' button which stands for Automatic Tampon Remover... Your penis is under your pillow!"

#Corrupt Mahama will fall in 2016.
Since when did John Dramani Mahama know non-essential trips was a drain on the economy and an avenue for corruption? In it's last year in office, is that when John Dramani Mahama realized it was a sign of wisdom and intelligence to ban non-essential trips which is charged to the Ghanaian taxpayer?
Vitus Azeem of GII should come and collect his stone. When he said John Dramani Mahama should go and learn some very basic and very simple common sense from President Buhari and President Maguguli, John Mahama sent his unhinged hounds after him.
Has John Mahama now seen the wisdom in banning non-essential Ministerial trips? Has John Mahama now realized the intelligence in banning non-essential Ministerial trips?
What was he and his gov't doing from 2009 when they assumed office?
Folks, #the corrupt Mahama NDC gov't must fall.

This fool can do more that what he is proposing. Ban all sitting allowances, reduce the number of ministers and deputy ministers, reduce the staff at Flagstaff house. Fool! He is just throwing dust in the eyes of Ghanaians. Nobody should take him seriously. Prosecute those who are stealing Ghnan's money. Show some spine and some seriousness. Election is coming so he is pretending to do something. This man has no respect for Ghanaians. This man is the most corrupt politician in Ghana. My brother told me four years ago that woe betide Ghana if this man ever becomes president. He was the most corrupt politician before he even became the vice president and now the president. Give us a break corrupt president!

As a citizen critical about issues, I find these measures more political than social and economic expediency. And these are are my reasons:
1. Government has the data of such expenditure and could have known it in year one of Mahama administration.
2. Next year is a campaign year and the government wants to prove to Ghanaians that it wants to control unnecessary expenses: important tool to win hearts for political point.
3. Invariably, government is telling all officials that they need all of them to stay in the country to campaign vigorously to win power.
I pray Ghanaians will be discerning to think Ghana first.

THIS SHOULD BE PART OF THE CONSTITUTION. And it is long overdue. All the more, we have allowed these Ministers etc. to abuse the system for far too long. It is big drain on our national finances It should be rigidly enforced. Whoever misapplies himself/herself to this policy should be dismissed as well as prosecuted.

Dead goat president when did you realized that your appointees and yourself are wasting our money. The thievery in your governance is UNPRECEDENTED.Ghanaians are suffering can't you see or hear. You must explain to Ghanaians why you've takening us back to IMF AND HIPIC . Governance isn't about talking too much or empty promises. If the seat is too hot for you just get out before you collapse the nation.

DEAR H.E.PRESIDENT OF GHANA DR.JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA & HON.MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS & REGIONAL INTEGRATION HANNAH TETTEY,

TO RESPECTFULLY RENDER MY COMMENTS ON THE ABOVE SENSITIVE MATTER CASTING ACCUSATIONS ON HON.MINISTERS OF GHANA FOR MAKING OVERSEAS TRIPS WHICH ARE "NON ESSENTIALS" BY H.E.PRESIDENT OF GHANA JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA AND THEREFORE BANNED SUCH TRIPS OVERSEAS, THERETO.
THAT IT IS A TRITE KNOWLEDGE THAT BEFORE THE BAN WAS PLACED THEN IT MEANT ALSO THAT THE "NON ESSENTIAL" MINISTRIES TRIPS ABROAD HAVE REACHED UNACCEPTABLE HEIGHTS/LEVEL, THERETO.
IT IS THEREFORE IN VIEW OF THE SMART STRATEGY OF INFORMATION SHARING THAT HELPS TO PROMOTE BETTER UNDERSTANDING, FRIENDSHIPS,OPEN, TRANSPARENT AND GOOD GOVERNANCE THAT THE GOOD PEOPLE OF GHANA AND THE WORLD DESERVED THE RIGHT TO KNOW THE MINISTERS THAT MADE THE "NON ESSENTIAL" TRIPS ABROAD, FOR HOW MANY TIMES AND FOR WHAT PURPOSE(S) AND THE INDIVIDUAL AND TOTAL COSTS INVOLVED IN SUCH "NON ESSENTIAL" TRIPS ABROAD?
THAT IT WILL BE IN THE BEST NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL INTERESTS OF THE MINISTERS OF GHANA TO KNOW AND ASCERTAIN WHICH TRIPS ABROAD THEY MADE THAT ARE/WERE DEEM "NON ESSENTIAL" TO HELP THEM AND GHANA AS A COUNTRY TO SAVE COST.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.
GOD BLESS GHANA.
VERY TRULY YOURS,
