USA Trip: Ghanaian taxpayer is likely to pay GHS37m on Akufo-Addo’s travel expenses – Ablakwa
Mr. Ablakwa further unraveled that, “at US$14,000 an hour, Ghanaians should be expecting to pay a staggering US$616,000; that is an elephantine 3.7million Ghana Cedis by the President’s return”.
Recounting; “This is the flight distance breakdown: [6 hours to Azores; 1 hour refueling; 10 hours to Houston; 3 hours from Houston to New York; New York to Accra 11 hours plus 1 hour of refueling break; 12 hours of pick up and drop off time — this works out to a total flight time of 44 hours)”.
“A cumulative sum of President Akufo-Addo’s recent three luxury trips abroad imposes a colossal GHS10million on the suffering Ghanaian taxpayer. Reflect on what GHS10million can do in the ailing health sector or the limping education sector of our dear nation”.
President Akufo-Addo recently launched a campaign targeted at “Ghanaian professionals accusing them of not paying taxes; the question is, even if some Ghanaian professionals aren’t paying up their fair share in taxes, why should they be motivated to do anything else when the President doesn’t give a hoot how much he squanders on his vulgar extravagance?”, he quizzed.
