Govt’s Debt To SSNIT Made It Reject Mahama's Suggestion - Brogya Genfi
National Democratic Congress (NDC) communications team member, Brogya Genfi, has said it is a brilliant suggestion for former President John Dramani Mahama to advise the current government to allow the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) pay workers twenty percent of their contributions.
He said President Akufo-Addo has every power to make SSNIT pay its beneficiaries 20% of their contributions made to them in the past to cushion their lives for three months.
Speaking on UTV's 'Adekye Nsroma' newspaper discussion segment, Brogya Genfi categorically stated that "President Akufo-Addo has intentionally refused to make SSNIT cushion its beneficiaries because he knows his government owe them about 4.5 billion Ghana cedis and should he (President Akufo-Addo) succumb to this suggestion, then government will be forced to pay the debt owed".
He further explained that government has to just go to parliament for approval to allow SSNIT bail out it's benefactors since the country's economy is now in an Intensive Care Unit stage.
