Second Lady Samira Bawumia has decided to refund all monies paid to her since 2017, a statement issued by her Senior Aide, lawyer Kwake Twum has disclosed.
The Second Lady said she decided after consultation with the Vice President Dr. Mafamudu Bawumia.
She also said she would not accept any monies allocated to her following the recommendations by the Prof. Ntiamoah-Baidu committee.
From what this website has gathered, she is expected to refund 887,482.00 Ghana cedis received as an allowance from January 2017 to March 2021.
Her decision follows an earlier step taken by First Lady Mrs. Rebecca Akufo-Addo who expressed worry that the public discussions over the matter made her look like a self-centred person.
“In view of this, the First Lady, in consultation with the President of the Republic, has decided to refund all monies paid to her as allowances from the date of the President’s assumption of office, ie, from January 2017 to date, amounting to GHC899,097.84.”
“The First Lady has also decided not to accept any monies that have been allocated to be paid to her pursuant to the recommendations of the Ntiamoa-Baidu Committee, as approved by Parliament,” the statement signed by Korkor Bleboo, Director of Communications in the Office of the First Lady, said.
