Sensible policy. Long overdue. And somebody will post an insult about this?
Policies and implementation are two different things
If it will be done and maintained it will be very good for ghana
But the question is where will the money saved be used
Scrap all the V8 and be like Rwanda
Bottom l ...

Good idea from wrong messenger....this is the same guy who campaign in helicopter....dumb dramani how much is a 200 cedis DSTV gon save?....small mind jack Daniels....nkoko nkitikiti.
Torgbe, your cocaine chimpanzee clearing agent president cannot be compared to JM.
He is a talkertive president.
Deceiving the gullible and the unlearned. You have been a president before. Why didnt you stop it. Cheap politics indeed
The economy was ok back then and hence wasn’t necessary
Are you sure you were in Ghana?The economy was ok but we went for an IMF loan?
IMF or not the economy was ok that’s the word I used
An ailing economy needs help.Thats where IMF comes in.Your comment is thefore far from truth
is going to imf a crime? is taking additional loan a crime
Do you take loans when you are financially ok?
The economy was far far better than what we have today. The data tells it all.
Because economy was better it was ok to pay useless allowances.... .I see
He has learnt his lessons....
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 ...

Well said JDM, your the man Ghana needs not BAWULIAR who has nothing better to offer than liars and empty promises like AKUFFO ADDO
Politicians and lies, former president Mahama have been on that seat before and all the opportunities to do things right. But failed to do so, now he wants to come back he is promising heaven. I don’t believe in NDC or NPP ...

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

BUT HE AND HIS THIEFS WERE TAKING COUPONS FOR THEIR PERSONAL GAINS RIGHT?
Mahama has learnt his mistakes. He is a better choice than who peddles lies. Where is the concrete motorway as promised?
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
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?
Senseless Mahama making all sort of promises just to get hold of power.
What have you contributed Mr sensible man?
Oluman yobbings
su su hy3 b)..hmmm. Obi b) hy3 amem nek)
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.
JDM should stop receiving these incentives while in opposition and that Ghanaian s will take him serious
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 ...

They will target Mahama for this comment. These people are the ones in charge of affairs and you dare them. Why not take action when you win power?
Start from bank of Ghana
Just another way to get more money for akpeteshie .
Ghana is in trouble should he win again.
YOU DON'T HAVE ANY BIG NEW IDEAS. TINKERING ON THE EDGES OF 65+ YEARS OLD LAWS WILL GET US NOWHERE.
YOUR WIFE SHOULD REFUND MONEY SHE CONTINUES TO COLLECT UNLAWFULLY.
The 3 arms of government plus the MMDAs are the major cause of Ghanaian problems. You got that?
Write your comment but you have be in power before. Why you didint do soo before
Mr Mahama you already have 1 vote with this policy alone am voting for you....
Very commonsensical. JM, God bless you.
I support this many times your excellence
Good one there
With this you might have my vote. Let's do away ex gratis, meeting allowance, free rent etc and all the nkwasia alllowance. Let's implement what Margaret Thatcher did and we will discourage lazy and stupid people from enterin ...
