Vote Buying Money Could Have Been Used To Settle NABCO Trainees, Food Suppliers Arrears – Mahama To NPP

The former President and also the 2024 flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama has slammed government over what he believes to be the prioritisation of electoral fortunes over the governing of the country.

He believes the resources government spent to allegedly buy votes in the recent bye-elections in Kumawu and Assin North could have been used to defray some debt.

The National Food Suppliers Association for the past few days picketed at the premises of the National Food Buffer Stock Company ((NAFCO) in demand for payment of money owed them for over two years.

The Former President believes government has been insensitive to the plight of the citizenry.

“I daresay that the money that was spent in buying votes, in building ad-hoc roads in Kumawu and Assin North could have cleared all the arrears of the NABCO trainees and also cleared the arrears on the Buffer Stock supplies,” he said.

John Mahama was speaking at the Alumni Connect of the Tertiary Education Institutions Network – KNUST chapter (TEIN – KNUST).
