Akufo-Addo’s former legal counsel Kow Essuman, writes to Finance Minister to demand his ex-gratia payment

Lawyers for former Legal Counsel to the President, Kow Abaka Essuman, have formally demanded the payment of his outstanding salary arrears and terminal benefits following the expiration of his tenure in January 2025.” They alleged that while the Speaker and Members of Parliament, former Ministers and Deputy Ministers, MMDCEs and members of the Council of State had received their respective arrears and terminal benefits, Mr Essuman and other former Presidential Staffers remained unpaid.

They said Mr Essuman had made several representations over the matter without success and were therefore demanding that the Ministry of Finance pay the outstanding amount, together with interest from January 7, 2025, at the prevailing commercial bank rate.
