2020 NDC flagbearer, H.E John Dramani Mahama has assured Ghanaians that his next government will strictly protect the public purse and put the country’s resources to good use.
Addressing members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) at the launch of the party’s E-platforms and a policy on the adoption of constituencies and branches of the party ahead of the 2020 general elections, the former president stated that his government will prioritise the transformation of the country unlike his successor, president Akufo-Addo.
“The NDC is going all out to ensure transparency and accountability,” Mr Mahama said as he bemoaned the “corruption, nepotism, and hardship” which he said had characterised the NPP government.
He said Ghanaians are fed up with the dishonesty of the Akufo-Addo government that “promised a lot and has delivered very little”, adding that his government will continue to provide the illuminating vision for Ghana unlike president Akufo-Addo whose government has brought back the culture of silence amongst journalists and critics of the NPP government.
Raising serious concerns about some challenges in the country, Mr Mahama posited that president Akufo-Addo has divided the country.
NDC, he noted will fix the problems of the government and ” put Ghana back on track”, and reiterated his commitment to transforming the lives of Ghanaians through better policies the party’s manifesto committee is putting together.
“I am very ready to work with [ you Ghanaians]… to rescue power from the government,” Mr Mahama pledged.
Below are some of the projects and policies the next John Mahama administration will embark on.
Free Technical and Vocational Education education (TVET) begining from 2021 and all TVET institutions will be put under COTVET.
Each of the new 6 regions will get a new university to focus on engineering and technical education.
National apprentiship programme for 200,000 youth including kayaye,street children.
National service for teacher trainees will be cancelled as well as licensure examination for trained teachers.

Mahama's intelligence level is so low it is unbelievable how he got to become president of this country! You asked people to bring ideas to help shape your manifesto. That manifesto is not out yet, yet you are making some proclamations. You are now putting your manifesto committee in a tight corner because now they cannot come out with anything that will be seen as contradicting what you are saying. You are simply messing up NDC, and you will be lucky to get 40% in the next elections.
He is ih a comfortable lead that is why all the bragging. Apuu
eiiiii.now I no you think we are ***barred word***.
Please account for your failure to protect the public purse when you were president first before coming to talk about the future. How do you convince us that you will protect the public purse in future when you failed to do so in the past? What about the bauxite for brother deal? What about bus branding?
joker!!!!
If not for greediness, why on earth do you think you are the only person destined to bring prosperity to Ghanaians? After all these years of political life, what is there again for you to science? BS!
Hahaha protect what?public purse?maybe you wanted to say protect corruption sir.
This Mahama guy is confused.... Incompetent man. What was your record as vice and president? Nothing... Remember you cancelled teacher trainees allowances. Dont trust this Kanazoe ford bribe guy. He is a conman......
Please point to your records on protecting public purse. That is Ghanaians need to know to vote for you.
Only lazy teachers, who are very few, will buy into your promises on posting, promotion and license exams. Remember you cancelled their allowances whiles they were trainees
