Aide to the President of Ghana, Joyce Bawa Mogtari, has argued that life can be tough for former presidents in Ghana.
Due to this, she is advocating for the citizens to provide a soft landing for former presidents in the country to make their lives easier.
In making her submissions in a post on X, Joyce Bawa Mogatari, she explained that although the constitution grants some soft life to ex-presidents, it has been difficult to access such amenities, and that she sees as worrying.
“Remember that currently the state is enjoined to provide an office, two houses, one in Accra and another in their place of origin, cars, health , etc! But due to differences in ideology and conflicts between different political parties the provision of these amenities have not been consistent using President Mahama’s experience as an example,” she said.
In backing her claims, she urged the public to speak to former President, John Agyekum Kufour and he will explain how life can be tough for ex-presidents in the country.
“Let me be honest with you, go ahead and have a conversation with Former President Kufour and he will tell you how tough life can be even for former Presidents because of the enormous responsibilities they carry even out of office,” she said.
