GEPA Saga: Klenam blows GHC93k on clothing allowances; $132k for rent

The dismissed CEO of the Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA) Gifty Klenam is being probed by the Economic and Organised Crimes Office (EOCO) over financial impropriety during her tenure.

Documents available to Starrfmonline.com reveal that the former CEO took a whopping GhC27,000 as clothing allowance and GhC8,000 for furnishing in May 2017.

A total amount of GhC93,300 was splashed on six senior officials of GEPA including the fired CEO in May 2017 plus GhC40,000 to take care of their furnishing in the same month.

Also, the former MP of Lowest West Akim directed the finance department of the state export promoter to pay her and her deputy a whopping $132,000 equivalent to GhC580,800 as a two-year advanced rent in total violation of the public service rules.
