Reports of Akufo-Addo’s French retirement home engulf gov’t

As Ghana approaches a debate on ex-gratia benefits for public office holders, rumors swirl about President Nana Akufo-Addo's retirement plans, including the purchase of a luxury home in Nice, France.

This speculation arises as the country reviews the financial entitlements outlined in Article 71 of the Constitution.

Akufo-Addo has formed a committee to reassess these benefits amid public concerns over their fairness in light of current economic challenges.

Former President John Mahama has also refuted claims of receiving excessive payments, highlighting the need for transparency in such matters.
