John Mahama Just Testing Ground With Promises - Charles Bissue
John Dramani Mahama, Flagbearer of the largest opposition National Democratic! Congress (NDC), says a new NDC government would implement a free Primary Health Care Plan to provide quality health care for all Ghanaians.
He said "this will remove cost as a barrier to health care and ensure health for all."
This was contained in a statement issued by the Spokesperson of the Party's 2020 Campaign, Mr James Agyenim-Boateng in Accra.
Addressing members and supporters of the NDC in Akatsi as part of his four-day tour of the Volta Region, the statement said "despite the implementation of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), some gaps still remained in the delivery of universal healthcare in the country."
Mr Mahama, therefore, pledged to address those gaps with the introduction of Free Primary Healthcare to better improve health care delivery in the country when given the nod to lead again.
“This means regardless of the validity or otherwise of one’s NHIS card, that person can access health care at no cost at the district level,” it added.
Commenting on it on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' Morning Show, Former Secretary to the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining (IMCIM), Charles Cromwell Nanabanyin Bissue said that the behaviour of former President Mahama promising Ghanaians with already implemented policy shows that he has nothing to say to Ghanaians.
He stressed that the way former President John Mahama is announcing his policies in bits and pieces shows clearly an agenda to test the ground to see the acceptance level of those promises before including them in his manifesto without a careful thought-out plan for those promises.
