Former President John Mahama has challenged the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) to state their position on the ex-gratia payment to Article 71 office holders.
In a tweet shared on Sunday, March 5, 2023, the former president said that rather than criticizing his promise to scrap ex-gratia, the NPP should take their position on the issue which is on their heart of every Ghanaian.
“Does the NPP support my call for the scrapping of the payment of ex-gratia to members of the executive or not?” parts of the tweet.
The tweet John Dramani Mahama shared also had a video of him explaining his proposal to scrap ex-gratia to delegates of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Ketu South in the Volta Region.

Few days ago, the former President John Dramani Mahama has pledged to stop paying ex-gratia and run a lean administration as part of his campaign to become the country’s next leader.
He claims that his administration will limit the number of ministers and deputies to 60 so as to protect the public purse.
President Mhaam declared during his campaign launch speech at the University of Health and Applied Sciences in Ho that his next administration will improve Ghana, consider the needs of Ghanaians, and clean up the mess left by the Akufo-Addo administration.
