GHANAIANS BEING ASKED TO TIGHTEN THEIR BELT, BUT GOV’T IS USING ELASTIC AROUND ITS WAIST – Sammi Awuku

Akwapem North MP Sammi Awuku, asserts that the Mahama administration is requesting that Ghanaians tighten their belts, but they are only doing so by putting an elastic around their waists.

He charged that the government’s attitude to economic measures was discriminatory.

Sammi Awuku claims that the gasoline facility at Castle Osu is operational even though Mahama scrapped fuel for appointees.

He disclosed that a number of appointees are still actively obtaining fuel, including National Security personnel and those who are not even eligible.

Speaking in an interview on the Channel One Newsroom, Sammi Awuku stated, “Today, we are at Jubilee House, and you can see that the fuel depot was functioning. The depot at Castle Osu, where you have several appointees and these National Security operatives and people who do not even qualify to even draw fuel from this vending point are actively still drawing fuel.”

“It is like the Ghanaian is being asked to tighten her belt, and the government is using elastic around the waist”, he added.

He added that the NDC government, under by John Mahama, is concentrating on three goals.

Samm Awuku claims that the Mahama administration is little more than settings, optics, and public relations.

Sammi Awuku added, “I see a trend. We have said that this government is a government of three things: P.R., optics and settings.

So anything that positions them as doing something, but in actual fact, the pocket economy speaks for itself. The same government says they were scrapping the fuel allocation for appointees of the government,” he said.
