Former President John Mahama's Special Aide, Joyce Bawa Mogtari has disclosed that former First Lady Lordina Mahama could possibly be the one taking care of the husband, Ex-President John Dramani Mahama, since the current administration has failed to pay his (Mahama's) constitutionally approved monthly salary.
But Joyce Bawa Mogtari has insisted in a telephone conversation that what was paid into the ADB account of former President John Mahama was his End of Service Benefit and not his monthly salary as the Daily Guide has reported it.
She added that none of the staff members of the office of former President Mahama has received any monthly salary and that the former President still operates from his private home as his office.
According to Joyce Bawa, the former first lady Lordina Mahama is a very hard working woman who is still running and managing her businesses; thus, she [Bawa] cannot tell if former President Mahama borrows money from his wife but she is sure Lordina is helping her husband at home.
“Maa Lordina is a very hard working woman; she is still running and managing her businesses and so I am sure that maybe she is the one taking care of our father [John Mahama] and by God’s grace everything is well but what government should give to them, none has been given . . . I can’t tell if he [Mahama] borrows money from her, but I know Maa Lordina is someone who helps her husband a lot,” she revealed on Okay FM’s Ade Akye Abia Morning Show.
“Let me put it on record that up to date, everything the Edu-Buandoh Committee recommended which were largely adopted by the Parliament of the Republic of Ghana for implementation, all of the conditions under that particular document; the emolument documents, none of them have been met and none are being met,” Joyce Bawa stated.
Mahama’s Special Aide further stated that letters have been sent to the office of the Chief of Staff at the Flagstaff House but nothing has been received.
Madam Joyce Bawa Mogtari bemoaned that her boss former President Mahama is not enjoying the same privileges and courtesies that were accorded the office of former President Kufour and former President Rawlings.
“Mahama has not been given a house, an office and the salary he is supposed to receive has not been given to him. None of his staff has received any salary from the seat of government,” she bemoaned.
Meanwhile, after these revelations from the camp of former President John Mahama, the Daily Guide newspaper in its Thursday, July 27 edition published that the office of former President Mahama is peddling propaganda by claiming the current NPP administration has failed to pay Mr. John Mahama his monthly salaries since he left office.
Daily Guide claims a document it has clearly shows that the former President Mahama has received his full monthly salary since the NPP took office.
“In fact, Mr. Mahama has so far been paid more than half a million Ghana cedis since the NPP took office on January 7, 2017. The documents reveal that the current government was initially unable to pay the salary, as it had not settled down, and this position is supported by the fact that government at the beginning of its term did not pay its own staff,” Daily Guide reports.
“The documents however reveal that former President John Mahama received his salary arrears of Ghc29, 899 for 12 months, totalling Ghc388, 687 which was paid into his ADB account at Adabraka branch...the former President has been consistently receiving his monthly salary of Ghc29, 899 from January 2018 to July 18, 2018”.
According to Daily Guide reportage, approval was given to pay all the six staff at the office of the former President and the six staff members are taking home an annual salary of a whopping Ghc688, 488.00 at the end of every year.

Just like his ministers, this is ghana's first DOUBLE SALARY ex-president. Milking the country when in government, and trying to milk it even when out of government. Too much greed
THIS BAWA WOMAN IS A FOOLLLL PAAA.JJ AND KUFOUR ARE OPERATING FROM THEIR HOMES.YOU THINK WE ARE FOOOLLLS IN GHANA TO BELIEVE THAT MAA LORDINA IS TAKING CARE OF HER HUSBAND.IF NOT THE STOLEN MONEY FROM DR.OPUNI TO LORDINA WHAT WORK DOES LORDINA DO?MAHAMA CAN PAY USD500000 TO GHANA EVERY MONTH FOR 50YEARS AND STILL NOT BROKE.HE AND HIS FAMILY HAS STOLEN FROM GHANA BIG TIME.HE SHOULD SHOUT UP.YOU WANT SALARY FROM YOUR INCOMPETENT PRESIDENCY.***barred word*** MAN LIKE YOU.
One term presidents should not be given houses. Is president Kufour not living in his own house? And JJ in the house he has been living in since the PNDC days? The one that got burnt... So why should Mahama who served only four years be given a house? When he is actively campaigning to come back to power. Does he get another house in the very unlikely event that he wins? Also maybe he can find a job instead of relying on Maa Lordina to take care of him. We dont want another Abrokwah episode.
DEAL WITH IT ,YOUR MAHAMA WAS TAKEN A PRESIDENT'S SALARY WHEN HE WAS ACTUALLY A VICE PRESIDENT.
To the best of my knowledge NDC under JJ Rawlings cancelled ESB for civil servants... why was Mahama paid then? NDC is a very discriminatory cr!m!nal gang of thifs.... After John Ford Mahama received more than 500,000 ghana cedis as ESB what does he want again? No wonder he took a cheap ford car as bribe form Kanazoe on top of all the state cars at his disposal..... So Mahama want to become president again and take another ESB? Never!
So after receiving ESB, mahama wan come chop president again? God wil punish him paaa
Madam Bawa indicate that she and the other staff have not receive any salary from the government and daily guide says other wise. Now who is telling the truth. Daily should show us the the bank statement or any other document that show that their salary has been paid. Please Daily guide stop putting things in the public if there is no proof. and if there is proof add it to your stories to save us all these wahala
HATRED FOR AKUFO ADDO HAS CONSUMED THIS WOMAN SO MUCH THAT SHE WILL DESTROY HERSELF AND MAHAMA. WHAT DID MAHAMA DO TO KUFUOR AND RAWLINGS WITH REGARD TO THEIR ESB AND MONTHLY SALARIES. EVEN NOW LOOK AT WHAT MAHAMA HAS DONE TO ATTA MILLS. SHAME ON YOU AND KARMA WILL SURELY ALWAYS VISIT YOU AND YOUR DISRESPECTFUL MAHAMA.
Bawa you think Ghanaians are ***barred word*** to believe your Kwaku Ananse stories. If the wife who neither received monthly salaries when you were in power nor ESB is the taking care of Mahama then Mahama is not qualified to rule us.
Madam,when did Ghana started the payment of ESB on monthly basis. pls come again and stop trowing dust.
