These facts have been highlighted in a meticulous investigation conducted by Byline Times - a sharp exposé of the financial toll political instability has wrought. Intriguingly, some of these fleeting ministers have walked away with farewell figures that were as much as seven times their actual reported salaries - a somewhat generous reward for their varying degrees of competency and time on the job. One of the more notable beneficiaries of this severance bonanza is Kwasi Kwarteng, who held the role of Chancellor for a paltry 38 days.
