A leading member of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Gabby Otchere Darko has said the 1992 Constitution of the Republic of Ghana did not prevent First and Second Ladies in Ghana from being paid allowances.

According to him, It is wether or not we [Ghanaians] believe they [1st and 2nd ladies] deserve it. He added that, formalising their payment is the right thing to do.

In a tweet, he wrote:

My take on the matter is short. The Constitution did not bar spouses of President and his Vice (in and out of office) from being compensated (allowance or pay). It is whether or not we believe they deserve it and formalising it is the right thing to do. This, to me, is the issue.
