Former President John Mahama has bemoaned the arrogance of government appointees once they assume the reins of the country.
Speaking at the commemoration of the 38th-anniversary of the 31st December 1981 coup at the Winneba Lorry Park in the Central Region on Tuesday, 31 December 2019, Mr Mahama, said: “Leaders lack modesty and humility in public office”.
“When one has been appointed into public office, they feel an entitlement, a right, and, in the end, they do not serve at the pleasure of the people of Ghana”, he observed.
The flag bearer of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) said rather than serving the electorate, government officials focus on looting state resources as fast as they can before the next elections are held.
“Everybody wants to get a fair share of the cake before the next political party comes in again”, he complained, adding: “It makes leaders believe the only means to get a fair share of the cake is to auction the political party to the highest bidder”.

Eii! This man has no shame, else he couldn't have said what he is being alleged to have said. That Mahama guy paa, he has no sociological imagination. I am very sure he is referring to what he did prior to the last election. Do not throw stones when you leave in a glass house.
YES HE IS REFERRING TO HIMSELF. HE KNOWS NO SHAME!
IT is only in Africa that you will have an ex president talking without evidence. He just want to heard. As i always say, I am an ndc man but I not block head one. I want my candidate to talk with evidence and with decorum .
I will advise mahama, he needs wise counsel
Look at this CON MAN!He's just trying to talk whiles having nothing tangible to talk about. This john has NO MESSAGE! This is why I decree like the Jews said NEVER AGAIN TO NDC. NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU,
This man has no message. He is a spent force. Now I understand NDC is evil. Just throwing out any arsenal they can lay their hands on.
Did he really say that? JDM is really some work
The man is talking about himself.
