The Member of Parliament (MP) for Ahafo Ano South, Stephen Balado Manu, has added his voice to calls on the President not to attempt to scrap the current arrangement which enjoins the state to build houses for ex presidents.
President John Evans Atta Mills, reportedly proposed to the Professor Ewurama Addy Committee - which he set up to deal with the issue of emoluments for Article 71 office holders – the arrangement be scrapped and instead ex presidents be given rent allowances to cater for their accommodation.
Mr Balado Manu, speaking on Peace FM's Kokrokoo Tuesday, however accused the President of resorting to a populist means of projecting himself as a modest man but added that Ghanaians are aware he is not.
He questioned whether the President was willing to give up benefits given him by the state, demanding that Mills respects the arrangement as it was currently stipulated in the Constitution.
