If you reward him for messing up the economy so badly, why would he be worried about being incompetent? Our leaders are nothing but greedy, selfish, croockish,2diotic looters and Mahama is the worst of them all. Thunder fire him before he lives to enjoy all the loot.

John Mahama is a joker to even think Ghanaians and the Akuffo Addo Gov't will give you this items you are asking Ghanaians to give you and your Crookishh self and family.
Is this the way NPP is going to rule, bringing every classified document to the public domain whenever they are caught in a tight corner? Why are they not bringing that of the other former presidents packages. This is hypocrisy and jaundiced journalism at its apex!
