In an effort to enhance transparency and accountability, the Parliament of Ghana has pledged its readiness to cooperate fully with law enforcement agencies investigating the alleged double salary claims against some Members of Parliament who were also Ministers of State during the sixth Parliament.
In a press release signed by Acting Director of Public Affairs of Parliament, Kate Addo noted that an offence of criminality in the payment of salaries has not been established against the said individuals who fall under Article 1 of the 1992 of the constitution.
The release therefore urged the “Police, Members of Parliament and the general public to remain calm and circumspect in their comments until the full facts of the matter are determined” as the matter is brought under conclusion.
