CANCELLATION OF TRAINEES ALLOWANCE WILL SEND MAHAMA'S GOVERNMENT HOME-MP

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament (MP) for Bantama constituency within the Kumasi Metropolis, Hon.Henry Kwabena Kokofu has predicted that, President John Mahama government can decide to pay the nurses and teacher trainees allowance weekly they will still vote against him.

According to him, the NDC government decision in the first place to cancel the allowance has brought untoward hardships on the trainees and many have had to abandon their courses because they have no support from any other source.

Speaking at Hello Fm in Kumasi, the Bantama MP said the affected trainees who are now been given another promise by the Government to pay the allowance after several mass actions would definitely punish the government by voting against President Mahama.

He couldn’t fathom why non-oil economy under former President Kufour could manage to pay the nurses and teacher trainees allowance only for President John Mahama‘s government to come and cancel it.

According hon. Kokofu, the trainees should not take the NDC government serious over the matter because as President is promising to restore the allowance his Vice is also saying that any attempt to restore the allowance will dislocation the government budget.

“Confusion galore and now where are they going to get the money from after telling the whole world that, NPP cannot keep to the promise of restoring the allowance because they (NPP Government) will not get funds for it”.

The Bantama MP who lost his seat during the Party’s Parliamentary primaries to Wofa Atta called on all Ghanaians, especially the youth to show President Mahama the exit come 7^th December,2016.
