If he wins the 2024 election, NPP flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has pledged to give the Chieftaincy institution a living allowance.
While on a tour of the Greater Accra Region, the Vice President spoke to the Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs and emphasized that the allowance would increase the chieftaincy institution’s effectiveness.
According to Dr. Bawumia, the chieftaincy institution requires funding and authority to make decisions that benefit the government.
“The chieftaincy institution needs financial resources to carry out its correct function. Without providing the required resources, it is impossible to assign responsibilities,” he stated.
“The suggestion has been made, and we will incorporate it into our manifesto to guarantee that we give the Chieftaincy institution a living allowance,” he said. The monthly GH₵1,000 that paramount chiefs receive is insufficient to cover their petrol expenses.
Dr. Bawumia said that divisional chiefs and queen mothers receive no compensation.
Queen mothers, paramount chiefs, and divisional chiefs must all receive living allowances. The chieftaincy institution will be given the authority to make decisions that are advantageous to the government by doing this, he continued.
