Government Officials in Ghana Face Travel Restrictions
Ghana’s President John Mahama has announced a ban on first-class air travel for all government appointees as part of efforts to reduce public expenditure and promote modesty within his administration. He emphasized that any essential travel must receive prior clearance from the Chief of Staff and should be conducted without “traces of affluence and a lavish lifestyle.”
This directive aligns with President Mahama’s broader commitment to fiscal discipline and accountability, aiming to ensure that public resources are utilized prudently. He stressed that the resources entrusted to government officials belong to the Ghanaian people and should not be misused on luxury or extravagance.
The ban on first-class travel is part of a series of measures introduced by President Mahama to restore economic stability and public trust in governance. He has also announced plans to implement a comprehensive code of conduct for government officials to further promote ethical behavior and accountability.
This move has been met with various reactions from government officials and the public. Some ministers have expressed their support for the initiative, acknowledging the need for fiscal prudence in the current economic climate.
