Presidential Candidate for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), has assured that no beneficiary of Government’s Covid-19 stimulus package will be made to pay back should he win power in the upcoming elections.
John Dramani Mahama, made the comment during an engagement with chiefs and people of Doryumu as part of his five-day campaign tour of the Greater Accra Region.
"They are giving money to traders and saying it is a loan to support your work but if you vote for us and NPP stays, we won’t collect it. But if John Mahama comes, he will collect the money back; me too I won’t collect it," he said.
"So, any money they give you, take it. It is free money, me too when I come, I won’t collect it,” he added.
Mr Mahama said it was the NDC Government that established the Stabilisation Fund to cater for emergencies such as Covid-19, and that the next government of the NDC would not chase any beneficiary trader for the money.
He further asked the electorate to vote out the New Patriotic Party in the December 7 general election and bring back the NDC to provide jobs, implement Free Primary Healthcare and create opportunities for all.
