She was said to be speaking in an interview on Okay FM which was monitored by Pulse.com.gh.
Mrs. Bawa was reacting to a publication that the government was paying John Mahama’s salary.
She refuted the claims, explaning that recommendations by the Edu-Buandoh Committee about the payment of salaries and other emolument for former presidents have not been implemented.
“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.

She then revealed that situation has forced Lordina Mahama to take over managing the family since her husband is ‘broke’.
The spokeswoman for Mr Mahama, Joyce Mogtari Bawa, said the former first lady is taking of Mr Mahama from the money she makes from her businesses.
"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," she revealed on Okay FM’s "Ade Akye Abia" Morning Show.
