RE: Akuffo Addo Is Running A Nepotism, Bloated Government

Former President John Dramani Mahama claims the New Patriotic Party and the president is running a "nepotism bloated Government". Mr  Mahama further accuses the president for being selective and working with "only his family members".

I would want all Ghanaians to know the kind of nepotistic, greedy and self centered Governance we had under Mahama.

To start with, the wife of Mr. John Mahama (Mrs. Lordina Mahama always receives an  amount of  $82, 558.74 from the Government Of Ghana whenever she travels outside the country as her per diem. This means that, the Government Of Ghana under John Mahama always payed that amount of money to the former first lady whilst the Ghanaian youth were still begging and crying for jobs.

In a letter dated 25/10/13, with reference number CA/OP/31/V314 signed by the then chief of staff Prosper Bani authorised the Former First lady to receives that huge amount as travelling allowance / per diem when she was travelling to the USA.

It is undebatable that, the Government run by the former president was made up of intellectual criminals lead by an intellectually inclined notorious criminal.
Assuming without admitting that, the averments of John Mahama is true, the Nana Addo family and friends govt doesn't loot, create and share state funds like that of John Mahama did. They do not use intellectual means to rob the state like John Mahama's criminals did. Ghanaians must note that, just one robbery by the notorious criminal's Government would be able to be able to cater for all the salaries and small allowances of the supposed Nana Addo family and friends Government.

Secondly, in a letter dated 26/11/13, Mr. Proper Bani the then chief of staff issued a letter which authorised for the payment of $95,558.00 as per diem to president him self on a 4 day visit to the USA. The Government of Ghana paid them these monies as their per diem

Thirdly again on 25/10/13, the same chief of staff authorised the payment of $101,317. 00 to the president as per diem on his visit to France.

All these monies were paid within just a  month. ie. Between October and November to one person and his wife by the sweat of the tax payer hustling on the streets.  This is gross wickedness and we must not allow sure h people to rule as again.

It will be prudent for Ghanaians to know that, as at the time the "notorious criminal's" 
Government was paying all these monies to his immediate friends and family, the ordinary Ghanaian people were battling with the following problems
1. Power crises (Dumsor)
2. High Cost of SHS fees
3. High cost of electricity
4. Debt swallowing the NHIS service providers
5. Unemployment
6. Non payment of nursing trianee allowance
7. Non payment of teacher's salaries.
8. And many more issues...

Whilst the citizens were suffering with all these problems, the then Government lead by the notorious criminal of our century (Mahama) was enjoying with his wife, family and immediate friends around him.

It is clear that, the Nana Addo lead administration will never engage in the type of family and friends robbery initiated by the former president and his allies.
