Reports circulating on the media indicate that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has directed that the salaries of all government appointees himself have been cut down by 30%. This according to him is to mitigate the current economic situation the country is facing. Some Members of Parliament of the opposition party, NDC have come out to say that they will not allow the government to reduce their salaries or allowances.
Some Ghanaians after coming across this information said that it is good news because the money could be used to do different projects in the country. However, some Ghanaians Tilapia The Cartoonist believe that the decision taken by President Akufo-Addo is needless. They argued that the major cause of Ghana’s problem is corruption and reckless extravagance use of resources.
Looking at the Tilapia The Cartoonist’s artwork below, you can see that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is busily cutting off some parts of the government appointees’ salaries. However, you can see that these same government appointees are aggressively spending the salary cut off by President Akufo-Addo.
What Tilapia The Cartoonist is trying to say is that President Akufo-Addo will cut off the salaries of government appointees but his ‘Elephants’ colleagues, thus the NPP officials will eat it all and Ghanaians will not benefit anything from this.
Ghanaians after coming across this said that they agree with him. The problem the country is facing right now is more than just reducing the salaries and allowances of the government appointees.
Check out some of the reactions from some Ghanaians who came across this video:
