Why transfer GH¢60 million to Office of the President”s “Special Operations” -Okudzeto quizzes Nana Addo
Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa
The North Tongu lawmaker, Honorable Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has quizzed the president, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo about the transfer of GH¢60 million to Office of the President’s “Special Operations” at the last minute of the end of his tenure in office.
According to Hon. Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government is being profligate and wasteful in its expenditure, and that this transfer is just one example of a larger problem.
He called for new legislation to control ostentatious expenditure, dubious contracts, and mass recruitments during transitions as it’s essential to ensure that public funds are being used responsibly and in the best interests of the country.
Okudzeto Ablakwa quizzes
Why has a colossal GH¢60 million been transferred to the Office of the President for so-called “Special Operations” with just a few days left for President Akufo-Addo to hand over?
From unimpeachable tracking, the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia tax-guzzling presidency received the GH¢60 million transfer on 23rd December, 2024 at 4:38 pm.
Profligate President Akufo-Addo must explain to Ghanaians why his “Special Operations” in the death of his tenure should be prioritized over crippling arrears at WAEC, CHASS, CETAG, Free SHS Secretariat, IPPs, NaBCo etc.
It’s most depressing that the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government seems hell-bent on emptying the national coffers on extremely questionable and wasteful expenditures before the Mahama administration takes over.
Moving forward, Ghana needs to urgently consider new legislation on controlling ostentatious expenditure, fresh dubious contracts and mass recruitments during transitions.
