The running mate for John Mahama, Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang has stated that Teacher Trainees’ allowance was never cancelled by the NDC.
Addressing tertiary students in the Upper East Region (Bolgatanga) on a two-day working visit,
She said,
“I will come to a sensitive subject which I think should be dead by now. We [NDC] never cancelled teacher trainees’ allowance. Cancelling means that you have something and I came to take it away from you. This is the last time I am going to talk about this because we never did that. You know very well that those who were on the loan scheme continued to enjoy it until they graduated. So we never took anything away from them. We gave one year notice to those who were coming that we were going to give you loans and added means. Today how much do you get and how much are they taking from you?”.
