Read the full statement issued out by Mr Eric Adjei:

Folks, something serious is really happening in the Akuffo Addo government which all must take a keen observations and judge for yourself if indeed the Akuffo Addo government really respect the very people who voted for him. For God sake president Akuffo Addo should credit Ghanaians with some level of intelligence, at least for once.

You look in the face of the poor government employee and tell them you only increased their salary by 4% because there is no money, when in fact your abysmal performance has caused the prices of goods and services to increase astronomically causing a corresponding increase in standard of living. Unknown to us you have an agenda to increase the salary of your wife and that of the wife of the man causing our suffering now(Dr Bawumia).

After this stinking policy received unpleasant public backlash you deliberately asked your Regional Chairman, Abronye to challenge the constitutionality of what you deliberately superintended over. You people should spare us your crocodile tears because we anticipated this useless gimmick in the pipeline.

You can't convince us that upon all your so-called legal background surrounded with all your Akyem Mafias none of you was able to know that both the first lady and the second lady's office does not fall within the purview of article 71 office holders. Abronye is been used as the "cats paw" to divert public attention and to create the impression that people within the party kicked against the policy. Mr president, no amount of court suit can cover up this shameful act calculated to milk from the state the already drained coffers.

President Akuffo Addo has really proved to Ghanaians that apart from his family members none of us deserved to live a better life and that he will continue to make sure that poverty-stricken Ghanaians continue to endure poverty by increasing taxes and some essential commodities in the country.
