Should Presidents retire with such luxurious packages?

The presidential committee on emolument has recommended a lavish living for ex-president John Agyekum Kufuor for serving his two consecutive terms as president of Ghana.

The fleet comprise of three salon cars, two cross country cars and one all-purpose vehicle. (Source: JoyFm).
