The Executive Director of ASEPA, Mensah Thompson says first lady, Rebecca Akufo-Addo’s posture towards Ghanaians smacks of arrogance and ingratitude.
According to him, the letter from the first lady’s office indicating her decision to return all allowances paid her had an angry tone and was a clear indication that she cannot handle public outburst.
He called on the first lady to absolutely stop using taxpayer’s money if she cannot accommodate criticism from the Ghanaian people.
“I have sighted a letter purporting to be from the Office of the First Lady angrily claiming it is going to refund all allowances paid the first lady since 2017 because Ghanaians are talking too much about the recent recommendations by the Prof. Yaa Ntiamoa-Baidu Committee to pay first/second ladies the same salaries as cabinet ministers,” Thompson posted on Facebook.
He added: “First of all, apart from the tone of the letter being unnecessarily arrogant, this smacks a huge sense of INGRATITUDE from the first lady. This letter goes a long [way] to show how unaccommodating the first lady is to public criticisms.”
“Oya refund everything and from now on, don’t use anything that belongs to the taxpayer if you cannot contain the taxpayers’ outbursts. But once we continue to finance your living from head to toe, Auntie Becky we will talk papa, Hw3!!! Tax tua y3 ya papa.”
