In a bold cost-cutting move, President of Ghana John Dramani Mahama has scrapped all fuel allowances and allocations for political appointees with immediate effect.
According to a press statement from the Presidency dated Tuesday, July 15, 2025, the directive is part of a broader effort to reduce government expenditure and redirect public funds toward priority areas.
President Mahama emphasized that “leadership must bear its part of the sacrifices it calls on the people to make,” reinforcing his administration’s commitment to fiscal discipline and public accountability.
The announcement follows earlier reforms to cut down the size of government, including the appointment of fewer ministers and presidential staff.
Additionally, satellite TV subscriptions for government offices, including the Presidency, have also been suspended.
The statement, signed by Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Minister of Government Communications and Presidential Spokesperson, positions this move as a necessary step to realign governance with the current economic realities.
