Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh, the Vice Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has reassured trainee nurses that the government is working diligently to prevent delays in the payment of their allowances.
While addressing students at the Korle-Bu Nursing and Midwifery Training College in the Greater Accra Region, Dr Prempeh highlighted the NPP's commitment to restoring and maintaining the allowances, which were previously cancelled by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Dr Prempeh acknowledged that occasional delays in payments may occur but emphasised that these delays are far better than the complete removal of the allowances, as experienced under the NDC.
"There may be delays, but allowances delayed are better than allowances cancelled," Dr. Prempeh noted.
He assured the students that the NPP values their contribution to healthcare and is focused on policies that will improve their welfare and professional opportunities.
The students at the institution expressed their understanding of the importance of their votes in the upcoming December 7 elections.
They believed that supporting the NPP and its policies, such as the Free Senior High School (SHS) programme, will have a lasting impact on future generations, including their own younger siblings.
They also voiced support for NPP initiatives like Agenda 111, which aims to build hospitals across the country, offering future employment opportunities for healthcare professionals.
The promise of a stable power supply was another key issue the students highlighted as critical to their support.
