Government says the decision prohibiting the use of state funds for
procurement of Christmas gifts and presents, is still in force.
President John Mahama last year issued the directive to Ministries,
Departments and Agencies to desist from using public resources for
Christmas and New Year gifts such as hampers during the upcoming
yuletide.
The decision also included Metropolitan, Municipal, and District
Assemblies (MMDAs).
A statement issued Monday December 8, and signed by the Minister for
Communications, Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, said the 2013 directive
targeting all MDAs financed from the consolidated fund “is still in
force and all concerned are expected to comply.”
