Why should a father leave a house for a son? John Mahama is a grown man who has earned a lot of money over the years. He can build his own house rather than relying on his father to provide him one.

I think Kuffour agrees on both getting houses but says the government has to decide. He did not say that Mahama should have VP house unless I missed that. In any case instead of government providing a house it might be better to give an agreed sum to them so they do whatever with it. Many past presidents have own houses anyway. In that case you don't have to replace if burned done or be responsible for maintenance. I think whole package has to be reviewed and revised.

Kufour was as corrupt as Mahama and he was the reason why Ndc came back to power, first under Atta Mills, then Mahama. He was so corrupt his own Ashantis claimed: "wofa 3gua ye ni asi". A man and his famies hiding offshore invedtments and moneys in Panama, ala Wekileak. Why will he not support Mahama? He is still set his eyes on his own demands for 4 houses, 10 cars, four chauffers and maidssrvants. Akuffo Addo, be your own man or you will taste a one term presidency like Mahama. If Dick Cheney had confiscated the Veep's House on Mass Ave, NW DC, Joe Biden would not have had a place to live when they came to the White House. The laws are there to be followed and not bent over. Respect te law Akuffi Addo and do not give the house to Mahama. This is a national asset, not for Mahama. Lets move past mahama's irresponsible attention seeking manace. Jerry is gone and no one talks about a house for the man .lets do away with giving houses to ex-presidents. Further seek the input of the people. The constitution needs to be reviewef to remove the article of giving houses to public servants. Move on past mahama. Ghana has so much problems tackling than wasting our time on Kufour and Mahama. Leave Akuffo Addo to run his government. Its like Jake fighting over state asset and see how he ended. Ghana's assets are not for warlords or ex-presidents. Mahama should be taken to court if he ovvupied the house. He has no shame. A big mistake of Atta Mills'.

Everyone in Ghana knows Kuffuor lives at Airport and not Dzorwulu. He lives in the same house that he lived in before he became president and continued to live in during and after his presidency. The house was renovated and provided with upgraded security systems at state expense which he is still benefitting from. He has a new palatial mansion in the Aburi mountains and one in Kumasi. His kids bought state bungalows at very reduced prices in some prime areas in Ghana as their residences. Which begs the question as to why he would need another house at government expense. How many homes can one person live in? and at 75? Does the state provided home revert to the state when the former president dies?
It is just greed and sheer avarice.This whole system of free homes for former presidents is ill conceived and and stupid and should be scrapped. This is public service and when your time is up, pack and go to where you came from. You don't deserve a house for life any more than any other public servant. These guys steal enough money in office to buy private islands and do not deserve a thing. Fuck em!

Hon. Kuffour, with all due respect to you, I think you are dead wrong to suggest that Ghana should accommodate Mahama with a house of his choice. Are you kidding us? Hon. Kuffour, to be honest with you , Ghana simply does not have the luxury to provide any President who leaves office with a house. I know you guys who have had the privilege to occupy the highest office of the land, did not seek to change that provision because you considered it as a good thing and a bonanza for you and your family. I agree totally with you Hon. Kuffour, that Mahama has the right to choose where he wants to live, however, not at our expense. Mr. Mahama has been a Vice President and a TWO term as the President of Ghana. My question to Mr. Mahama is, for all those years as Vice President and President, what did he do with his "fat" pay checks?
For him to turn to Ghanaians to give one of the State's owned buildings to him for free simply because he was a former President is an insult to our sense of reason and very irresponsible of him to have the audacity to request for that.

Don't give houses to any ex president but can only build them an office 2 cross country vehicles non renewable for them to service it themselves,that's all cos if each president is going to take one state bungalow each after their tenure of office it will get to a time when all governments bungalows will be exhausted n diverted to ex presidents.

Why can't we shake off the colonial mentality? How is it that people who can afford are living on government largesse? Didn't Kuffour and Mahama apply for their job as president? How different is that from a journalist, for example, applying to a media house for a job? If a journalist cannot ask for
a house when he/she retires, why should the presdent? Don't tell me this is a case of
apples and oranges; I'm talking about a person applying for a job they feel they
are capable of handling. Why should the employer reward you over and above what is fair? Why can't teachers ask for houses upon retirement? Don't they serve the state?
We get it all wrong when we encourage this kind of attitude. The colonialists did that because they were exploiters. We cannot/should not exploit ourselves. The president is like any other civil servant, working to ensure the progress of the nation. :-)

@Adjei: So if they choose flag staff house then they should have it? Only greedy African presidents will make that argument. Going forward no government bungalow should be sold or offered as part of ex gratia award.
IF PRESIDENT MAHAMA AFTER WRITING OF THE $28 MILLION DOLLARS CASH HIS BROTHER TOOK FROM MERCHANT BANK IS HOMELESS AFTER RETIREMENT HE DESERVES NO SYMPATHY. GO TO NEW TOWN, NIMA, ASHTOWN, BUKOM, AND OTHER SLUMS IN GHANA AND YO ...

Nope Kuffour, Ghana is not the property of only politicians. Why sanction the rape of Ghana? Is it because you got away with your lot and so the rape should continue?
Kuffour despite your age you are still not wise.
Can i go ahead?
On please.tnx
Another greedy person the nation isn't for politicians alone so you should think about the ppl too
I think Nana Addo must stamp his authority on this one!
Sorry but Nana is the President and if he is going to face the same issue one day! Just as President Kuffour has noted. He is going to be wise and not pressured in this matter. President Kuffour has spoken with wisdom a ...

Crazy and mad Ghana,I cannot believe exPresident Kuffuor is saying or thinking like this
Kuffuor is so greedy he can not see right from wrong. GHANA CAN NOT CONTINUE TO GIVE EACH FORMER PRESIDENT A HOUSING AND OFFICE ACCOMODATION IN THESE PRIME AREAS. IF HE THINKS IT WOULD OK FOR OUR SUBSEQUENT LEADERS TO BE LIVI ...

Pres Kufuor has an opinion just like anybody else, but that does not mean that you can insult him and call him a stupid politician. When will people like you start tolerating others for expressing their opinions. We are in a ...

GIVE THEM WHAT THE CONSTUTION SAYS IS DUE THEM
Please disregard Kuffour's support re Mahama accommodation saga. I believe his stroke caused some form of impairment
Kufour was as corrupt as Mahama and he was the reason why Ndc came back to power, first under Atta Mills, then Mahama. He was so corrupt his own Ashantis claimed: "wofa 3gua ye ni asi". A man and his famies hiding offshore in ...

Why insult him? Cant you say your opinion without the insult? Remember you reap what you sow. That is God's law.
Everyone in Ghana knows Kuffuor lives at Airport and not Dzorwulu. He lives in the same house that he lived in before he became president and continued to live in during and after his presidency. The house was renovated and ...

So if the former President wants to live at the castle, he could have it. This does not make sense.
mr Kufuor we want u to tell ghanaians if ur accommodation was given when u left office and also Mills

The result of greediness is humiliation. Oh Mahama, why do you bring yourself so low after all the money you stole?
They are so stupid they fail to realize what is happening here. Kufuor "supports" Mahama over accommodation saga.
