  They made the law to favour themselves, while the average Ghanaian worker goes home to die after hard work service to the state. This masked thievery by 'dishonorable MPs' must be stopped by Nana Addo gvt.

  ex-gratia is a super nonsense decision made by this states officials. You receive salaries,allowances, bribes, wages and yet take ex gratia whiles leaving office.

  I think it was all hurriedly put together in anticipation of a continuous huge and surge in our revenues from the Oil find.
  
  The MPs have, from the very beginning, known of this multiple dipping into the Ex-gratia bowl because they are the ones that approved of it. And they never felt guilty for doing so.
  
  This is the kind of Legislators we have in Ghana. They are in there, at the Parliament, to seek their personal wealth, first, if at all also for the people.
  
  Not even those in the Opposition had the balls to concede such greedy claims.
  
  Long Live Ghana!!!

  As expected self proclaimed citizen vigilante, Martin Amidu, will not take obvious fraud by members of the political class in Ghana of which he is one, to the useless Supreme Court, because he will ruffle too many feathers. If in one 4 year political cycle Ghana's tax payers pay out an average of 30 million Ghana cedis to politicians as ex-gratia why has this not come on to the Martin Amidu radar?
  How is this daytime robbery by members of parliament any different from the ills of Alfred Woyome and other entities accused of taking payment from government? If government institutions were doing their jobs for which they receive monthly payments would they not have known and put a stop to past bad practices? And yet we pay ex-gratia to people who, by any measure or standards, are incompetent, lousy and nutered because they chose to give the executive branch all the powers of a dictator even as they play footsie in parliament. Grow some balls Martin Amidu and use your hatred for the Mahama administration to good use for all of Ghana if you want to be a true seeker of justice.

  Politicians are the most corrupt on earth, they lie alot and even kill for their interests . If a politician tells u to stop , run . They are the most greedy as well. Don't trust them , fight them and challenge them. The common man always fight for them and even die for them , that's how stupid the common Man is , stupid and dumm. Look at the supporters of all the political parties in Ghana and their behaviors, You ain't getting nothing out of all what u are doing but misery. Wake up Ghananians and challenge the status quo. Is not fare for a parliamentarian to receive all this so call Ex-Gracias, while some one who worked for 30years to receive just a peanut at the end if his service to the Nation. Never trust a politician, they are fake , they only think about themselves and nothing else. Peace.
