John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has pledged to eliminate non-essential benefits for government officials if elected president in the upcoming December polls.
These benefits include free fuel, DSTV subscriptions, and utility bill payments. Mahama aims to redirect these resources towards revitalizing the economy.
He believes that scrapping these perks will help reduce the financial burden on the government.
This move is part of the NDC’s efforts to restore fiscal discipline and promote economic growth.
Mahama has emphasized the need for prudent management of public resources to address the country’s economic challenges.
His proposal has sparked debate among Ghanaians, with some supporting the move as a necessary measure and others expressing concerns about its potential impact on government officials’ welfare.
The NDC’s manifesto is expected to outline further details of their economic recovery plan.
