Remember Ghanaians praising Togbe Afede for his kind act of returning his Gh¢365,000 Ex-Gratia by the Council of State Secretariat?
Yes, let’s get to know more information about this development. Do you know the Council of State is made up of 24 members?
Interestingly, Togbe Afede who returned his share after service from 2017 is an ex-officio member of the Council. Meaning he is serving at the Council of State by appointment due to his status as the President of the National House of Chiefs and also the Paramount Chief of the Asogli Traditional Area, Ho.
In this article, I want to share with you the other 23 members of the Council. But hey, let’s try this. Try calculating 365,000 by 24 let’s see something.
