As per him, the public authority has denied him the honor of getting a charge out of free utilities among others which he's qualified for by excellence of the way that he once involved the most elevated office of the land.


The workplace of the previous President last week launched out claims that he accepted GH¢ 14 million as ex-gratia installment in 2013.


An assertion endorsed by the Unique Helper to the previous President, Joyce Bawah Mogtari explained that the previous President "never took any such ex-gratia installment of GH¢14 million out of 2013 or at some other time during his 25 years of administration."

"… I get just my month to month benefits like President Kufuor, President Rawlings was getting until he passed on, that is all I get. I take care of power bills for my home, office, I cover water bills for my home and office, and I live in my own convenience so the state doesn't pay me anything for convenience. They haven't given me an office, I lease an office in East Cantonments, I pay the lease myself. I pay my own fuel, the State doesn't give me fuel. I pay my own homegrown staff.

In the space of safety, "the state will give two security people to be picked by the previous President from state security. Two vehicles for security."


For transport, President Mahama is qualified for be given two vehicles, a driver, kept up with and thoroughly guaranteed by the State and changed like clockwork forever.


For abroad authority travel, the state will completely pay for all such outings with his mate and two security people.

The state will in any case, support just two of such ventures each year and those not surpassing fourteen days in span. President Mahama and his significant other will likewise be qualified with the expectation of complimentary medical care.
