Special Aide to President John Dramani Mahama, Joyce Bawah Mogtari says it is hypocritical of Dr. Palgrave Boakye-Danquah, a former government spokesman to ask the NDC about inauguration budget.
According to Joyce Bawah, Dr. Palgrave Boakye-Danquah should ask his former boss Akufo-Addo about the cost of Mahama’s inauguration because he signed the cheque.
She stated that the NDC’s transition team was only responsible for the planning of the event and had nothing to do with the budget so it is hypocritical of him to sit on radio and ask the NDC about the cost of the event.
“Apparently, @PalgraveDanquah, until recently the almost silent Akufo-Addo Spokesperson on governance, has been asking about the cost of President Mahama’s inauguration. I am still shaking my head.
“Please tell him that inaugurations are funded by the government in this case, the former administration, represented on the Transition Committee by the Former Chief of Staff. The planning is done by the Transition Team and executed by the State Protocol Department.
“Funny enough, he sat mute as his uncle’s government destroyed the economy, borrowed recklessly, and left us totally bankrupt. He never once asked any questions about PDS, Pwalugu, the astronomical cost of the non-existent National Cathedral, and many others.
“Ghanaians have totally rejected your government, @PalgraveDanquah. Get a grip. Thank you,” she wrote on X as sighted by Happy News.
