Legislator Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has expressed his disquiet over the transfer of some GHS 60million cash has been transferred to the Office of the President for an alleged “Special Operation” less than a week for President Nana Akufo-Addo to exit power.
In his post on X, Okudzeto,North Tongu MP and also serving as Chairman of Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) questioned the basis for the last minute transactions. He quizzed “Why has a colossal GHS60million 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 GHS60million transfer on 23rd December, 2024 at 4:38pm.
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”. SOURCE: Kasatintin.com
