John Dramani Mahama,flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has revealed that he is being measured in his promises ahead of the 2024 general elections.
In his statement while addressing some of the NDC supporters in Hohoe in the Volta region, Mahama cited that the current state of the economy limits him from making any grand promises.
“…I am being very measured in the promises that I make because we all know the crisis in which this country has been plunged into. We will show you the books and finances of this country, and you will realize the harm that the New Patriotic Party administration has done this country, the economy is broke.”
Mr. Mahama also said the next NDC government would pay monthly allowances of GH¢1,000 to all Assembly members.
He said payment of the allowances would cost the nation an amount of GH¢80 million a year.
Also speaking in Hohoe to climax his two-day “Building the Ghana we want together” tour to the Volta Region, said: “The office of the President’s budget alone is more than GH¢2 billion. We are going to reduce the President’s office expenditure to pay the Assembly members.” he stated firmly.
