Economist commends government for scrapping fuel allowances for political appointees
Dr Worlanyo Mensah, an Economist, has commended the Government for its recent decision to scrap fuel allowances for political appointees.
President John Dramani Mahama, in a statement issued by Mr Felix Kwakye Ofosu, presidential spokesman and Minister in-charge of Government Communications, has, with immediate effect, directed the cancellation of payment of fuel allowances and allocation of fuel to all his political appointees.
