The recent circulating news that has undoubtedly sparked massive stir, debates, and arguments across all social media platforms was when another bold decision by the incumbent President, Nana Akufo Addo finally popped up online.
Speaking at the recent Idil Adah festivities in the presence of the chief Imam, Vice President, Dr. Mahmoud Bawumia alongside other dignitaries, President Akufo Addo revealed that, he had cut his salary by 30% because of economic hardship as the country needs to make sacrifices to save the economy amongst others.
“Another sacrifice we ought to draw from Hajj is the mere sacrifice to Prophet Ibrahim of his son, Ishmael. My fellow Ghanaians, we all ought to make some sacrifices to navigate the troubled and economic difficulties. I have cut my salary by 30% because of economic hardship”, President Akufo Addo emphatically revealed.
However, a histogram of the distribution of salaries amongst government officials, MPs, and civil servants revealed that President Akufo Addo and Bawumia received about 85% of taxpayers every month hence a 30% cut might look insignificant.
Below is a look at some of the comments that came through after President Akufo Addo’s recent bold decision finally popped up online.
