The Member of Parliament for North Tongu, , has raised concerns over a transaction paid to the Office of the President just a few days before his administration is set to leave office.
According to the lawmaker, tracking of the transaction revealed that the transfer of GH¢60 million was received by the presidency on December 23, 2024, for some 'special operations', despite the government owing significant debts to several institutions, including WAEC, the Free SHS Secretariat, NaBCO, and others.
In a post shared on his Facebook page on December 28, 2024, Ablakwa questioned the rationale and motive behind the transactions, expressing his disgust over what he described as wasteful expenditures that harm the state's finances.
Ablakwa further alleged an attempt by the outgoing Akufo-Addo government to deplete the national coffers and leave the incoming administration with significant financial debts once it assumes office. "Why has a colossal GH¢60 million been transferred to the Office of the President for so-called 'Special Operations' with just a few days left for President Akufo-Addo to hand over?
