Let us for the sake of argument that we are a nation of homeless Presidential candidates. What is wrong with going back to the housing market with $2000 a month in your pocket to shop for rented accommodation. That would get you something Ex-Presidential enough for the rest of your life. This would remind every incoming President of his or her responsibility to create a less costly and decent housing marker before the leave office. $2,000 rent is not modest by any standard. The reality however is that all Presidents have delusions of grandeur but want tax payers to bear the cost of how they live, die and get buried. If you look at their private you will notice that not even another Presidential Palace will be enough for their bruised egos.

Nana Addo better start listening to the people instead of his political friends other wise NPP will be booted out in 4 years. Do not reward thieves fight corruption. If not then what is the difference between Woyome getting a fresh contract after defrauding Ghana and Mahama. No favors go by the books. New parliament should review ex gratia awards and also the constitution. We need to strengthen our institutions. Look out for the poor instead of Mahama, you are in power to serve not to take from the country.

Why ?, when JDM was dashing houses and cars to idiots to insult his opponents, didn't he know that he would have to commot from his official residence one day ?. He should go and take the house he gave to Akua Donkor back and leave that building alone for us. We want our Vice Prez to stay there and plan for us in peace and comfort. For all these years that you have been in politics, you don't have a house that you can be proud of. This shows the aimless government that we have just kicked out.

As a natîon we should handle this issue very dispassionately as a further cup in our democratic credentials. It is prudent to find Pres Mahama a temporary accommodation pending his settlement in a permanent place. He is currently on assignment for and on behalf of the President. During the pendancy of this assignment, we should take any action action against him that will cast the current admin in a bad mould. We did a similar thing to Mills while he was away in Canada over vehicles by subjecting Naadu Mills to some inhumane treatment. If push come to should ask Lordina to pack out to wherever so the Veep can move in. Meanwhile Pres Mahama should continue with the presidential assignment to its logical conclusion and report to Pres Nana Addo.

These fucking Ghanaian leaders are hoodwinking Ghanaians.
I wouldn't be surprised to know they are building that fucking PEPENI a new house like they did for fucking Rawlings.

Our fucking leaders our taking us for Fools.

If our leadeers really mean it, the first step is they have to remove that fucking constitutional clause. It must be deleted entirely.

What nonsense is that?

STOP THE LOOT THAT KEEP ON LOOTING. The rapping of Ghana has to cease at some point. People just can't take what they choose. Even affluent America doesn't rain these luxuries on its ex_presidents.

Journalists LOVE sensationalism!!!! Why embarrass the out-going government? It is a constitutional right for former Presidents to be appropriately housed by the prevailing government. So what's the beef?

I am curious. Was President Mahama in Parliament in 1992-96? That group requested and were allowed to buy MP flats they occupied at Sakumono and since then there are no official residents for sitting MPs. That Parliament had only NDC members as Npp boycotted the elections . My question is, why is this loot, create and share attitude of the NDC? We are keenly waiting to hear their campaign message for 2020
