Togbe respects himself and would not bring himself to that low and cheap level;<\/li>\n<li>That the car loan he has subscribed to when he served on the Council of State was offered by SG-Bank and it was optional and never a loan from the Government of Ghana. Meanwhile, he has paid his loan.<\/li>\n<li>Most importantly, he was the Chairman of the Economic Committee of the Council of State and was one of the most committed and regular members of the Council of State meetings. The minutes of the meeting attendance are available for verification.<\/li>\n<li>I urged the good people of Ghana to expose evil and corruption in other to rescue the nation and its resources from further decadence.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"638\" height=\"968\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ed38dcbc-58d8-4ddf-abc3-da99a537f107.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2123531\"  \/><\/figure>\n<p>            <!--  [embed]https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=videoseries[\/embed]<!--\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>--><\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"6EbVIb92eqI\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Food Safety: Everybody has a role to play to ensure standards are maintained \u2013 FDA (7-6-22)\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6EbVIb92eqI?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Togbe Afede XIV A special Aide to Togbe Afede XIV, Dr Elikplim Kwabla Apetorgbor, has reacted to Paul Adom-Otchere\u2019s claim that the Paramount Chief and the Agbogbomefia of the Asogli attended 39 out of 242 meetings of the Council of State.
