Eddy Kay Akuffor Addo is better than your father, father,father.odwan needed we referred.
He has passion to do Gods work that is why he achieved a lot for the church during his tenure. I met him when he became the first principal of the Pentecost University College. he is such a nice man. May the lord continue to bless him as he retires from active service.
This is good, i believe the media should be very interested in this story, if the appostle had said that he receives GHs50,000 per month, it would have been a talk of town. Ghanaian media always looking for negative stories. Serious people cannot build a nation with negatives. Indeed this humble Man of God has shown that is it possible to leave a selfless life for the benefit of humanity.True Christian will always look at you as model of the modern christian life. Papa God Be with you and wishing a peaceful rest in your retirement.i am not a member of the church but i admire his humility and style of leadership.
Ok we hear, but can he honesty say that is the only amount he lives on with his family on a monthly basus, I wonder.
This cannot be contested, but what about ALL the other finge benefits not to talk of the overwhelming gifts. Those alone will not make you touch your salary. God has been good!
Even in 2002, your party paid SSNIT director $12,500 and you were comfortable with it. Do some of you just comment on issues out of ***barred word*** or what?
While that nonentity dwarf and super incompetent fraudster called Akufo Addo is paying BOG Governor GHC 124,000, GRA Boss GHC 102,000, SSNIT Boss GHC 88,606 and COCOBOD Boss GHC 75,102
Dr Opuni's 75,000 cedis salary per month is equivalent to about £12,000 or US$16,000........ This is day light robbery to pay one person this kind of state money. Never again.......
Whiles the corrupt NDC government under John Ford Kanazoe paid Dr Opuni of cocobod a whopping 75,000 cedis a month as salary. What at all will he do with all that money?...... That was cr.a.z.y money...... NDC must be made to remain in opposition forever.......
