GOGO, or what you call yourself 22,000 is money if you care to know. Can you give out 22,000 gh cedis free of charge? The President of the republic of Ghana doesn't pay tax on his salary, he doesn't buy fuel, doesn't pay electricity bills, doesn't pay water bills, phone bills, he virtually gets almost everything thing free. So why must such a person be paid 22,809 ghana cedis. Do you know the salaries of Ghanaians. Even the fraction on the salary 809 gh cedis is even more than most ghanaian workers' salaries if you care to know.Nana should review it. A lot of people are unemployed and slashing emoluments of article 71 office holders will help the nation.
Do they need such money? I think they claimed not to come to government to make money. This I think is minus their allowances and soft furnished accommodation,petrol and what have you.We are waiting patiently.
Am not expecting servant to receive more than his master. Politician companing to serve us and look at the amount their getting yet people are saying is just a token. Yoooooo wai
BUT HOW MUCH IS 20,000 GHS AND GHANAINA ARE CREYING. YOUR WHOLE PRESIDENT IS TAKING LESS THAN $5000 HOME AND PEOPLE ARE NOT HAPPY? AH MIDIO - CRY -TY IN THE HIGHEST LEVEL.
This has nothing to do with Nana Addo and Bawumia because they are not in power yet. It is all about Mahama who wants fat salaries in retirement. By what he has allowed as astronomical increments, he will receive GHC9,123.60 each month (40% of the salary he retires on). If Mahama had stayed on his old salary, his monthly pay in retirement could have been GHC6,356.80 a month. The man Mahama wants more money for himself and not so much about Nana Addo who has nothing to do with salaries. Let's speak truth to power by telling them they need to take others into account and not so much about themselves all the time. How much pay rise does the ordinary Ghanaian who is taxed get and how much is our president who is not taxed getting as pay rise?
NANA ADDO DID NOT COME TO POWER BECAUSE OF OUR MONEY, WHY GIVING HIM THAT MONEY. PLEASE DONT MAKE HIM MAD AT US.HE SAID HE IS NOT COMING TO POWER BECAUSE OF OUR MONEY THATS WHY WE VOTED FOR HIM PLS.
Mahama and his cronies God has rewarded them accordingly, you give yourself 40% and intend to give workers 12.5%, God is watching them
This money is even less than $6000 a month and some people are complaining. What is this money to Nana Akuffo Addo. An ordinary business man should make more than this a month. Nana Addo's personal wealth is worth millions of dollars. Shame, if he and his faily does not even work he has enough money to spend for the rest of their life.
salary because he will be employed now. What a way to look for, and secure a job? This is the longest unemployed veep.
this man did nothing for this country to deserve all these. he rather raped the nation of everything. now we are going to spend money to take care of cr1m1nal who has stolen everything and the poor will continue to suffer. life indeed can never be fair.
