“Between October 25, 2019 that he (Kurt Okraku) was elected, he has approved the allowances he has been taking which has not been approved by Congress. It is an offense which is liable to impeachment. In Article 42 paragraph 2, the remuneration of members of the Executive Council shall be proposed by an Adhoc compensation committee and approved by Congress.

“He has bluntly refused to respect the status of the FA and taking monies which has not been approved by Congress which is an impeachable offense”.
