Sec. to the President unilaterally wrote letter cutting budget for judiciary, legislature

Majority Leader Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu has revealed Secretary to the President, Nana Asante Bediatuo unilaterally wrote the letter cutting down budget estimates for the judiciary and legislature.

Speaking to JoyNews in an interview, the Majority Leader said the Secretary to the President wrote the letter even though the matter had not been conclusively dealt with. According to him, talks were temporarily truncated when the President left the country for Ivory Coast some weeks ago.

Member of Parliament for Ho West Emmanuel Bedzrah is calling for a probe into circumstances leading to Nana Asante Bediatuo writing a letter to Parliament without the full backing of the President.
