what is the locus of the first lady to represent Ghana?She is only the WIFE of the president according to our constitution and she can decide to follow him wherever he goes but not to represent Ghana in any official capacity!!!NANA'S FAMILY AND FRIENDS GOV HAS REACHED A NEW LOW LEVEL!!
The first Lady is only the wife of the president, she has no locus to transact business on behalf of Ghana. Is the trip paid for by the tax payer? Remember Grace Mugabe
This is wrong. What is the locus of the First Lady in the constitution?
