Ghana’s Cabinet and State Officials no Longer Get Fuel Allowances

The president’s spokesperson said in a statement on Tuesday that the administration is taking this measure in an attempt to save costs and reallocate public monies to important sectors. This instruction will have an impact on a number of people, including cabinet ministers and president-appointed leaders of public organizations.

“The president feels that leadership must also contribute to the sacrifices it is asking the people to make,” said Felix Ofosu. After the nation, which is rich in cocoa and gold, experienced its greatest economic crisis in years, President John Mahama took office in January. With a pledge to “reset” Ghana, he won the elections.

The IMF recently reported that since taking office six months ago, the administration of the West African country had made progress in its attempts to restructure its debt and implement economic reforms.

Previously, the Presidency and other government offices had their satellite TV subscriptions terminated, and the number of ministerial portfolios was reduced from thirty to twenty-three. John Mahama, the president of Ghana, has ordered that all political appointees no longer get gasoline allowances.
