What the hell does he need four houses for 😠😠😠😠ðŸ˜
Some people are losing grounds on this argument. The question we need to ask ourselves is, is Ghana's economic health good enough to sustain this payout to our leaders? In an era where the government is cutting costs, why can't we also cut costs when it comes to rolling the red carpet for our leaders. They should also feel the squeeze. It should not only be for nurses, teachers, etc.
