A leading member of the Movement for Change, Solomon Owusu, has surprisingly voiced a differing view on President 's donation of his six-month salary to the Mahama Cares medical fund.
Acc1ording to him, the president's gesture is not something he is happy about, as he believes that while such acts may seem commendable, they often expose ulterior motives.
He made reference to Ken Ofori-Atta's gesture of reportedly not receiving a salary, only for it to later emerge that he allegedly amassed wealth belonging to the state through his bank, Databank. "The gesture by President Mahama donating his six months' salary into the Mahama Cares medical fund is something I don't want to hear.
The last time we heard such a claim, it was said that Ken Ofori-Atta, a government appointee did not receive a salary, yet he had amassed wealth through his bank, Databank, by securing loans for the country," he said in an interview with Onua FM on Thursday, May 8, 2025.
