- President Akufo-Addo spent GHC 326,000,000 on government machinery but his successor- John Mahama has increased spending and is posed to spend in the region of GHC3, 000,000,000, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has disclosed.
- It is becoming clearer that Akufo-Addo spent less on a government his opponent described as bloated compared to what John Mahama has allocated to spend on his self-acclaimed ‘lean’ government.
The Member of Parliament (MP) for Ofoase/Ayirebi constituency has said that under the leadership of former President Nana Akufo-Addo, there were eight (8) agencies under government machinery and it had a compared salary of GHC326, 000,000.
He however expressed shock that under the leadership of President John Mahama who claims to have reduced the government agencies from eight (8) to four (4), their salary has been inflated to over GHC2, 000, 000, 000.
“They are claiming they have reduced the number of Presidential staffers. They say they have cancelled the appointments of deputy ministers but this is not true”, the MP for Ofoase/Ayirebi said on Movement TV.
