Former Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel , has called for a discussion on making the salaries and emoluments of state officials public.
According to him, these individuals are paid with taxpayers' money, and it is of interest to the ordinary taxpayer to know how much is given to them for their service to the country.
In a series of tweets on X, formerly known as Twitter, he also called for a probe into parliamentary expenditure. "We use taxpayers' money to pay our President and his appointees; we need to know how much money we pay them," one of his tweets read.
He continued, "Why should we expect MPs to donate big money at ceremonies when we don't know how much money they earn?
