The Ghana 60th anniversary planning Committee has indicated its willingness to work without all allowances due members.

A statement signed by the Chair of the Committee, Ken Amankwa, it said ‘members resolved to forfeit any and all allowance(s) and/or remuneration which may be due them.

The service to be rendered by the committee members will be strictly on a pro bono basis’.

It called on the public to continue to pray for them as they embark on this endeavour.

Following the fiasco that characterized Ghana @50 celebrations during the erstwhile Kufuor’s administration, the President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo was heavily criticised by a section of the public after he announced a 30-member committee.

Read details of the statement:

FORFEITURE OF ALLOWANCE(S) BY MEMBERS OF THE 60TH INDEPENDENCE ANNIVERSARY PLANNING COMMITTEE

The 60th Independence Anniversary Planning committee held its maiden meeting on Saturday, the 28th of January, 2017.

At the said meeting, members resolved to forfeit any and all allowance(s) and/or remuneration which may be due them.

The service to be rendered by the committee members will be strictly on a pro bono basis.

This decision was largely motivated by H.E the President’s attitude towards public service, that is to say, selfless service to one’s homeland. Further, we are determined to religiously be guided by H.E. the President’s directive for members to be mindful of the difficult financial and economic circumstances of our country, regarding our 60th anniversary commemoration.

We continue to count on the support and prayers of all Ghanaians in this endeavour.

Thank you and may God continue to bless our homeland.
