President John Dramani Mahama has directed the cancellation of payment of fuel allowances and allocation of fuel to all his political appointees, with immediate effect.
A statement issued by Mr Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Presidential Spokesman and Minister in-charge of Government Communications, said the directive forms part of a broader curb in Government expenditure, aimed at cutting cost and channeling public funds into priority areas.
It said the President believes that leadership must also bear its part of the sacrifices it was calling on the people to make.
