    I cancelled trainee allowance because I wanted to build more hospitals – Mahama

    The National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, has revealed that he decided to forgo nursing training allowances in order to use the funds for additional health infrastructure construction.

    The then-opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) attacked John Mahama for cutting teachers’ and nursing trainees’ allowances while pledging to restore them if he were elected.

    However, Mr. Mahama gave a speech to Sefwi Wiaso Nurses Training College students outlining the rationale for the choice to switch out the allowances with loans.

    According to him, his government came to the realization that posting newly graduated nurses to different stations would require a few years.

    Nonetheless, more jobs and space for nurses to occupy would result from the construction of more infrastructure.

    Speaking to the students, he said, “When we tried to explain the reason why we were replacing your allowances with student loans, people did not understand us. What we wanted to do was build more CHPS compounds, more hospitals, and more health facilities, more health centres so that when you come out you can get work to do that was our intention.

    “But some people took political advantage of it and said they would continue to pay the allowances because they could.
    “Today I’m told that those in their 2nd year have never seen their allowances. My younger sisters and younger brothers, I’m standing on your behalf here to remind Nana Akufo-Addo and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia that the students of Sefwi Wiaso Nursing Training College say that they are waiting for their allowances because you promised you could pay.”
    In a related news, Mr. Mahama has declared Ghana a rescued mission for himself.
    The former president took his ‘Building The Ghana We Want Together’ campaign to Sefwi Wiawso in the Western North Region, addressing the gathering John Mahama stressed that Ghana is in crisis.
