President has ordered the deduction of one month's salary from all political appointees, including ministers and presidential staffers, to support the Ghana Medical Trust Fund, dubbed "MahamaCares".
The president disclosed the deduction at an engagement at the Jubilee House on Friday, June 20, 2025, as he was announcing the redemption of the pledge of his six months' salary in support of the fund.
He directed the Chief of Staff to commence the deduction since the appointees have started receiving their salaries. "On the day it (the MahamaCares) was launched, we raised quite a substantial amount.
All the different groups at the launch also contributed something.
