Speaking in an interview with pro-NPP Wontumi FM monitored by GhanaWeb, Abronye alleged that before leaving office, Mahama instituted for himself monthly remunerations that have proven to be costly to the nation. According to Abronye, a simple mathematics of the monthly expenses incurred by the state on the former President and his staff amounts to Gh¢100,000 which accumulates into GH¢1.2 million annually. He has thus tasked the former President to give up his monthly salary if he believes the national debt stock is growing exponentially since the amount being spent on him by the state is a major contributor to the national debt. The states spend GH¢100,000 on you every month and a year is GH¢1.2 million. If NDC members want to talk about the national debt they should include the GH¢100,000 John Mahama receives every month and ask him to stop taking it so the national debt will decline,” he added.
