    Mahama Scraps Allowances For Appointees

    President John Dramani Mahama has ordered an immediate end to fuel allowances for all political appointees. This bold step forms part of his broader plan to cut down government spending and restore discipline to the public purse.

    The directive affects ministers, deputy ministers, presidential staffers, MMDCEs, and other government-appointed officials. According to the President, this move reflects his administration’s commitment to lead by example in tough economic times.

    “We cannot ask citizens to make sacrifices while government continues to enjoy luxury,” Mahama stated. “Everyone must play a part in fixing our economy and that starts from the top.”

    Earlier this year, Mahama returned to office promising to reduce waste and rebuild trust in public leadership. Since then, his government has frozen high-end vehicle purchases and restricted foreign travel for officials. The removal of fuel benefits now deepens that cost-saving agenda.

    Public reaction has been swift. Many Ghanaians welcomed the news, praising it as long overdue. Civil society groups say the measure sends a clear message that leadership must reflect national priorities. However, some party insiders have raised concerns about the policy’s effect on official mobility and operational duties.

    Still, Mahama remains firm. He insists that responsible governance must start with cutting non-essential perks. He added that the money saved will support critical sectors like health, education, and youth employment.

    With this decision, Mahama hopes to set a new tone for leadership one that prioritizes national interest over personal comfort.
