Former President John Dramani Mahama has described the new digital address system as '419'.
“How can you launch a Google GPS system that is freely available on our mobile phone and say it is a national addressing system. It is such a pity. Why will you embarrass the president so much? You go and take a whole president to bring him to come and launch a system that is 419"
The software, Ghana Post GPS was launched on Wednesday, October 18, by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to host the Digital addressing system in partial fulfillment of the government’s promise to formalize the Ghanaian economy.
Addressing a gathering of NDC supporters at a unity walk in Cape Coast in the Central region Sunday, the former President asked President Akufo Addo to hold accountable those who were involved in the launch of the 'fraudulent' $2.5 million digital addressing system.
“When we talk about accountability, this is where the president should show that he is serious about corruption. Somebody must account for 15 million giving away free of charge. When I was in office, there was a bus branding incident, GH¢3.6m, a minister of state resigned because of GH¢3.6m...When you come into office and you want to cover up, you can cover up. When things happen you just refuse to investigate them. The toughness of the fight against corruption is that you are able to take action against your own people and that is what we did when we were in office. Here the NPP seems unable to take, the president seems unable to take self-action in anything.”

Mr. corrupt and incompetent ***barred word***,don't worry,very soon special prosecutor will start his work...don't cry of any witch hunting...You open your mouth and talk as a serial caller,what a weak fellow!
my name is hmmm. Why is everyone talking about the app on the phone which was added freely by the software company? Why are they ignoring the real platform that was design as per the contract given? People who want to criticize should use their energies to read and be enlightened. It is good to criticize but lets do so constructively when we understand the full facts. If the story above is truly from the ex-prez then my comment is that Karma should fully and unconditionally pay him a visit!!! Subah, Gyeeda, COCOBOD, RLG, SADA, ISOFOTON, Waterville, Woyome, Ameri, ....I weep for this land of our death
Now I know the reason why he lost. Lack of knowledge... no wonder he said dumso came because a lot of people were using mobile phone.
Did u get our gyeeda,suba,sada,woyome money for us ? This man is just silly n I sometimes wonder y he happened to Ghana
You are a chip politician. I can't believe Ghanaians once voted for you as their leader. They didn't vote for you anyway, the elections were rigged.
This for prez have no shame. A minister was caught stealing over 3.5 million Dollars and you allow her to resign without prosecuting her in court. And you as a prez was proud with that? Wow! Not surprise though, cos he was a no brainer, A thi3f himself--He has still not responded to the numerous query of Ghanaians on the Embryer Plane and Hanger. The numerous scandals at COCOBOD eg NDC REPHRAIN, COCOA ROADS at various stages of completion when there is none at all and the people are now cry to the new Gov't for the construction. Millions was looted by OPUNI shared and channelled to campaign fund which was lost anyway, THE SSNIT SCANDAL etc. THE SEMI AND HIGHLY EDUCATED, WELL INFORMED AND DISCERNING GHANAIANS VOTE WILL NEVER GO TO A POLITICAL INEPT LIKE THIS LOOSE TALKER FOR PREZ.
So soon JM has become a serial caller. lol.
This is clearly a despirate attempt geared to discredit Dr. Bawumia.The more they try to do so the more they display their intellectual deficit. You see Iam not IT privy but at least I know that Google GPS is an App in other words a subprogramm which you can build in a main program to deliver a specific results.The tool is there and you only have to know how you incorporate it into a main perogramm, which coordinates or reads other data, in this case digital national addressing data, so coded and computated to produce a unique Output.Indeed it entails a lot of Innovation and computation other than google GPS. Mr. President,I wished to believe that you contacted your NDC experts before you came out to wage your attack on the integrity of Dr Bawumia.
Keep quiet over there and enjoy your pension in peace. Don't meddle in our affairs. You are inGhanaian and we don't know you. ***barred word***!
No wonder your name has become a barred word. You have nothing sensible to write.
