Prof Asare's Facebook post below:Â
Ntiamoa-Baidu distributes ex gratia, luxury vehicles, resettlement packages, spousal salaries, first class tickets and other benefits as if we are as rich as Sweden.
Yet, the $31.5M budgeted to purchase luxury vehicles for only 306 Beneficiaries is much higher than the budget of the Attorney-General’s Department.
Think about that.
Swedish politicians and judges travel in crowded buses and trains, just like the citizens they represent. Their citizens have decided not to fund a life of luxury for their leaders.
Ntiamoa-Baidu has misunderstood the country’s balance sheet and misread the mood of the country.
Her recommendations will cost us a fortune, plunge us into further debt, poverty, misery and hardships.
Ntiamoa-Baidu has tasked poor Ghanafuo to finance a life of luxury for the few Article 71 holders even as they struggle to get clean water, reliable electricity and access to toilets.
GOGO will not finance luxury vehicles for the few. It will finance public transportation for the many.
Da Yie!
