Some celebrities have expressed their dissatisfaction at the decision to increase the salaries of the first and second ladies, Mrs. Rebecca Akufo-Addo and Mrs. Samira Bawumia.
They have described as inappropriate the increment of their salaries, particularly at a time when citizens are ‘crying’ for the country to be fixed.
The decision of the increment in the salaries of the first and second ladies have been met with negative responses from Ghanaians on social media.
This was after it was announced that the recommendations when approved by parliament, will enable the first and second ladies to receive over GHC30, 000 monthly salaries in 2021.
But expressing their disgust over such a move, the likes of Abeiku Santana, Nana Aba Anamoah, Bridget Otoo, Nero X, and many others have taken to social media to speak against it.

Popular media personality, Abeiku Santana also thinks that countries that can afford to pay their first and second ladies are not doing such.
Bridget Otoo thinks that in the case of the second lady especially, government is simply paying her with taxpayer’s money just to look good.
