DAILY GUIDE has learnt that some of the former ministers, who allegedly drew salaries as MPs and ministers of state, detected the double salary anomaly and notified the authorities for the right thing to be done. However, it is unclear if the monies that had already been credited to the accounts of such people were returned to chest. Bernard Allotey Jacobs, NDC Central Regional chairman, who conceded that some of the ex-ministers who were MPs actually received double salaries, said they were ready to use their ex-gratia to offset them. Attempts to reach others were unsuccessful, but the CID indicates that it’s going ahead with the probe. In all, about 48 names are on the list spanning five years from 2012.
