  • Sam 6 months ago

  • Concerned Ghanaian 6 months ago

    He should also include and scrap so called vehicle loans for MP’s to the amount of $120,000 per MP per term of his presidency which is a euphemism for free money at the cost to the tax payer. Remove all non Ghanaian assem ...

    Solomon, you said it all, politicians are super liars, so many years this is what has been going on, deceiving Ghanaians. Don't trust these politicians NDC/NPP

    He has learnt his lessons.....

  • KNOCK THEM 6 months ago

    The starting point is Mahama should say the government should remove all the payments including security and househeps plus the travelling and fuel allowances from him first. Start now and stop this tomfoolery ideas.

  • Nii Akpakpa Zamrama 6 months ago

    Eiiiiii, so even DSTV bills are borne by government? & they tell us they are dedicating themselves to serving Ghana.
    Eiiiiiii hmmmmm

  • King 6 months ago

    As for fuel Allowance he should look at it again. Many government workers including Doctors and Teachers who use their own car to work are paid this Allowances.

  • Ekd 6 months ago

    Yes, it is about time. Even the so called developed countries do not entertain such payments. Whoever comes to power should implement this idea. The SUVs should be curtailed for all, even the president. Ghana needs every penn ...

    Ghana needs total overhaul in our democratic processes. No more loans for V8s. Car rental services are available and if an MP wants to go to his/her constituency s/he has to rent a car. In Canada here, some MPs take train or ...

  • KOBBY 6 months ago

    BUT HE AND HIS THIEFS WERE TAKING COUPONS FOR THEIR PERSONAL GAINS RIGHT?

  • Blackman 6 months ago

    Mahama has learnt his mistakes. He is a better choice than who peddles lies. Where is the concrete motorway as promised?

  • Kofi Adu 6 months ago

    Only foolish people will agree to this nonsense. Why didn't you scrap it when you was president for six years? Remember that if you win you have only four years as a president. So stop your unnecessary promises

  • Blackman 6 months ago

    A lot can be done in 4 years bro. If in 4 to 8 years, Akuffo Addo, Ofori Atta and their cohorts can milk Ghana to bankruptcy can't Mahama make it better in 4 years?

  • Hannah Bissue 6 months ago

    Senseless Mahama making all sort of promises just to get hold of power.

  • All freebies 6 months ago

    All freebies need to be scrapped....they need to depend on their salary just like rest of Ghanaians. If it's not official government must not incur any cost...simple.

  • Akos 6 months ago

    JDM should stop receiving these incentives while in opposition and that Ghanaian s will take him serious

  • Blackman 6 months ago

    It's not JDM. If your useless leaders want to milk the nation, that is what happens. We worship our retired presidents more than a retired US president. Are we fools? Ghana is just the size and in population like Oregon and w ...
