  • Larbi-Teshie 7 years ago

    They are doing all these so that Nana Akufo-Addo will not succeed. They just want to starve his administration of money.

  • Stoway 7 years ago

    It is so easy to cut 10% if he want to look good in the eyes of Ghanaians. Ask him to abolish travel allowance and perform for that is where it make sense to cut. If the president and officials travel, they are still working ...

    In my opinion, Ghanaian politicians, irrespective of which political party, are on the verge of imposing too many hardships on the citizens by looting the State wealth with luxury benefits for themselves. There must be a publ ...

  • Amecole 7 years ago

    Yes, Mahama is going to get the GHC 22,000 as is back dated from 2013, and his retirement pay will be 40% of GHC22,000.
    Please learn to carefully read articles, or you will miss the points raised.

  • Suffer head 7 years ago

    No you rather check your facts. The sitting president takes that amount. The outgone president takes 40% of that amount monthly plus free accommodation and other stuff.

  • Kwaku 7 years ago

    please I want you to check your facts again. The truth is the Mahama is not the only person who would be receiving that money. J J Rawlings and J A Kuffour will also be receiving the same amount.
