Learn lessons from Akufo-Addo's salary refund - Allotey Jacobs tells appointees

Social Commentator, Bernard Allotey Jacobs, has commended President Akufo-Addo for returning his salary increment given to him from January to August 2021.

President Akufo-Addo has returned GHC237,974, in fulfillment of a pledge he made during this year's May Day celebration.

The money was paid into the Pensions and Salaries Account of the Controller and Accountant General’s Department.

Speaking in a panel discussion on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo', Allotey Jacobs urged other appointees to do same.

"Some people are joking with this but historically have we heard something like this before, no, because the monies we have is not even enough for us . . . but these are lessons for us . . .these are things we should be talking about and not things that will scare people . . . so I will urge that we learn from his actions," he urged.
