The President of Ghana, H.E. John Dramani Mahama, has cancelled all payments of fuel allowances and allocation of fuel to all political appointees.
The President made the pronouncement in an official press statement this morning, July 15, 2025. The directive takes immediate effect according to a statement signed by Mr. Felix Kwakye Ofosu, the Spokesman to President Mahama.
“The President believes that leadership must also bear its part of the sacrifices it is calling on the people to make,” the statement said.
According to President Mahama, the latest cost-cutting measure follows sweeping reductions in the size of government through the appointment of fewer ministers and presidential staff.
The President also took other measures including stopping satellite TV subscriptions for offices at the Presidency and other government facilities.
