All assets found or being displayed at any facility serving as the seat of government, under normal circumstances belong to the state.
It is, therefore, not common for one to hear or read that departing government officials from the White House in the united States of America or the Number 10 Downing Street in London have taken away some of these state assets bought with public funds.
Regrettably, the opposite is the case in Ghana.
Credible information available to The Chronicle indicates that some of the political staff of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration who were working at the Flagstaff House, the seat of Government of Ghana, virtually looted the place by taking away fridges, calendars, TV sets and wall clocks that had been used to furnish the place when they were exiting, after their party (NDC) had lost power to NPP in the December 2016 elections.
The Chronicle sources in government have confirmed the disgraceful story, but so far none of the departed government officials had been invited for questioning.
The Chronicle could, however, not establish whether stealthy invitations have been extended to these former government officials to explain the whereabouts of the aforementioned items that have gone missing in the Government House.
The Nana Akufo-Addo government has, however, replaced the missing items to ensure smooth working environment in the state facility.
Though there have been changes of government under the fourth Republic Constitution, this is the first time a report about the loot of the state house is being made.
Some government officials who spoke to The Chronicle on condition of anonymity were startled over the conduct of the former government officials.
According to them, after serving in government for eight years, these former officials cannot tell Ghanaians that buying a TV set was a luxury to them, hence they have to go home with those bought with state cash without any authorization.
The Chronicle is still following the development and would update its readers.

WHAT BAWUMIA AND NPP ARE DOING IS VERY NECESSARY. YOU CANNOT KEEP WATER IN A LEAKING POT. IT WILL ALL DRAIN OUT. NDC BY THEIR CORRUPTION HAS MADE GHANA ECONOMIC SYSTEM A LEAKING POT. THE ECONOMIC LEAKAGE MUST BE STOPPED BEFORE WE CAN STABILIZE THE ECONOMY. WHAT NPP IS DOING IS EXACTLY WHAT WAS DONE IN THE DEVELOPED WORLD TO KEEP THEIR ECONOMY STABLE FOR GROWTH. WE MUST ALL ENCOURAGE AND SUPPORT NPP TO UNCOVER THE CORRUPTION LEFT BEHIND AND LOOK FOR THE RIGHT MEANS TO STOP IT. IT IS ONLY BY THAT WE CAN KEEP GHANA SAFE.
I THINK NANA ADDO DANKWA A. A IS TREATING THESE DEMONS KID GROOVES. THE GOV'T SHOULD NOT SPEAK IN CAMERA BUT SHOULD BRING DEVILS NAMES OUT TO THE PUBLIC. IT DOES NOT MEAN PAYING THEM BACK BUT THE SLOGAN UPROOT ANY FORM OF CORRUPTION FROM THE SOCIETY. PERIOD!
You guys should do evidence-based journalism. You have to show photographic evidence of the walls at the flagstaff house. You can show the walls before and after the loot. You can't just say things without any proof. What kind of journalism is this. Chronicles, you can do better than this.
NDC are devils.. and thiefs. We should never bring them back to power. They will rot in opposition
Npp, bunch of liars, they lied their way to power and continue to lie whiles in power, they can never be trusted

USE THE CAMERAS AT THE JUBILEE HOUSE TO DETECT WHO TOOK WHAT
Remember the auditor generals department doesn't even have a car, or a landline so they can't do their work!
That may be true but I wouldn't be surprised if those people deny knowledge of ***barred word*** and defend themselves by saying 'I have enough money to buy those things myself' or 'it's the laborers andcservsnts who stole them.
