Are these allowances for a year or monthly? Akuffo, brace yourself for disputes because many people will want to be chiefs to CHOP too.

These parasitic chiefs have hijacked Ghana's main factor of production - land, selling them to satisfy their whims and caprices and NPP has the temerity to increase the allowances of these nation wreckers by 100%?

Where is Ghana headed under the leadership of Akufo-Addo and his NPP government. Is increasing the allowances of these parasites the most urgent need at the moment? Is this a priority?

As I have always maintained, no leader born and bred in Ghana without extensive foreign exposure (lived and worked extensively in abroad) has the intellectual capacity to transform this country. The local leadership are all dunderheads if you ask me.

Oh Nana, why? Be careful o! I think this is a very stupid move. Remember that if you give a man a yard, pretty soon he would be forcefully asking for a mile. In fact, he would even claim that it is his right.

What if Teachers, Soldiers, the Police, Immigration Officers, Doctors, Nurses, Lecturers and others who draw their incomes from the government also rise up and demand as a matter of their right that they want 100% increase in their incomes, huh?

When they do, don't come and seek sympathy from us, for we will support them. That will be the beginning of the end of your government. Be warned, and govern yourself well.

Prioritize the needs of the people, present occurrences under your ministry.
Are we so dumped we can think?
Chieftaincy and religious affairs ministry indeed.
Jujumen and aimless prophets are aiding people to destroy the country either by sakawa, arm robbery or killings. What has this ministry done about it.
Mr. Organize the religious leaders being Christians, lslamic or traditional and discuss ways to end negative spiritual help to criminals. This can be done in District levels .not just going around or sitting in your office thinking of making money.
Ghanaian appointees do you think at all , too much talking kills talent.

Slugging add-on is a dangerous hypocrite! It's only a discerning mind can observe. He made a lot of noise when Mahama gave cars to chiefs but now he has increased their salary by 100% which haa never happened in history.

Divide, loot and share never accelerated development at any age, Africa would have been the most developed nation since the scramble.

It is the intention of government to create new regions from Western, Brong Ahafo, Volta and Northern Regions as part of efforts to bring government closer to the people and thereby accelerate development.

Hmmm as discerning citizens have observed ,"The cabal " that has been running this country to nowhere will take care of each other to the detriment of the ordinary Ghanaian. I am talking about politicians, Chiefs and leaders of organized religion. Well, the politicians got a pay increase in the wee hours of the last parliament. Now it is the Chiefs turn. Soon the heads of organized religion will agitate for their share. Justification? So that they can do God's work to foster peace save souls! One cannot comprehend why the national exchequer must pay Chiefs? Legislate laws to help Chiefs to charge nominal fees for commercial use of lands. All lands must be put in Trusts and leased to collect rents to support local development and administration which could include the remuneration of Chiefs . This dependency syndrome is wrong headed. It is not sustainable. Soon every chief will expect the government to pay them. ? Chiefs must be encouraged to work with local governments to develop their areas to make it possible to subsidize their upkeep. Some jurisdictions in the country are well endowed and collects royalties. ?Politicians must stop this dependency mindset. Financial inducements will rather increase chieftancy disputes. It is a bridge to to nowhere!!!!

What a hypocrisy for criticizing JDM for giving regional house of chiefs a V8 car per region, while the " competent one" gives each chief double what she/he receives. TOTAL NONSENSE. Where is Rev. Martey?
