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”.

INDEED, EXPERIENCE IS THE BEST TEACHER. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT EX-PRESIDENT MAHAMA DID WHEN HE WAS REJECTED IN 2016, SO HE THINKS OTHERS WILL BE DOING SAME. WHAT DO WE GHANAIANS NEED AN EX-PRESIDENT FOR? LONG LIVE GHANA.
John Mahama has high fever.
God have mercy ooooo! Ghana is in trouble. So mr. JM that is what you do? My goodness.... Pls resign from being a candidate with immediate effect. We need no such looters again in our country. You've really shocked me.
You taught them Kofi Dubai!!! Chief ***barred word***
Even the day you were handing over to NPP you and your people were still ***barred word***. Today you say you've repented so we should give Ghana to you again for only one term. NDC like Rawlings is not a serious party. How can you allow somebody who has only one term to lead your party to election No wonder Rawlings came to deceived Ghanaians for his riches, the same way the NDC has also taking Ghanaians for granted enriching themselves through democracy. Can somebody tell me just 10 rich people we know in Ghana here before joining the NDC? Today they are the richest people in the country.
Eii JM paa. When post dated cheques were signed, contracts were awarded, etc. Jehovah God please don't come now.
You will be shocked in your life. THE BATTLE IS STILL THE LORDS.
Experience they say is the best teacher. Mahama is telling us exactly how he looted the state funds. This is not what we are expecting from you and your NDC. Tell us what you will do when given the power again. Something new or never exist in Ghana .

AS FORMER PRESIDENT AND ELDER STATESMAN BE RESPONSIBLE AND RESPECT YOURSELF TO PRESERVE YOUR DIGNITY SMALL. JUST KEEP MUTE, SPEAK SENSE AND RELEASE ALL THOSE CREATE, LOOT AND SHARE MONIES BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE FOR YOU; AND YOU WILL HAVE THE AUDACITY TO SPEAK ABOUT OTHER ***barred word*** OF RESOURCES IF POSSIBLE GOING ON IN THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION. WHEN YOU TENDER IN THOSE CREATE, LOOT AND SHARE MONIES, YOU CAN NOW TALK ORDER WISE YOU KEEP QUITE PERIOD.
