Former Director of Communication at the Presidency under the erstwhile late President John Evans Atta Mills government, Samuel Koku Anyidoho says First Ladies play significant roles in their husbands administration.
According to the Founder of the Atta Mills Institute, the First and Second Ladies are already being taken care of by the State as they have been assigned State security and dispatch riders who are on the government payroll to help them perform their functions.
Speaking about the salary saga of the First and Second Ladies, the former Deputy General Secretary of the largest opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) noted that the work of the First Lady is such an important one to the extent that they have Ladies-in-waiting who are foreign service officers to perform the functions of the Director of State Protocol at official functions of the First Lady.
