In response, Domelevo expressed disagreement with Okudzeto's stance during an interview on Joy News' Upfront. While acknowledging that keeping money at home might not be illegal, he emphasized that it raises questions, particularly for public figures.
"I find it unfortunate...my position will not be based on law, but at least being a public figure and a leader in government talking about ensuring that we all use the financial sector, keeping that amount of money in the house may not be legally wrong, but I think it is questionable," he said.
