Former President John Dramani Mahama has launched his presidential campaign towards Election 2024.
Speaking during the campaign launch at Sokode near Ho on Thursday morning, Mr Mahama said,One of the main things his government will do will be to scrap the payment of ex-gratia for members of the Executive under Article 71 of the 1992 Constitution.
Both to public office holders Under Article 71 and members of the Executive together with the President, Vice President and Ministers of state.
The payment of ex-gratia especially to members of the Executive and Members of Parliament after their four year tenure in office, has in recent times received a lot of misgivings from the public, with many expressing their views on whether or not to scrap it.
According to Mr Mahama when elected in 2024 as President, he will take the necessary constitutional steps towards it's removal in 2025.
