Mahama Pledges He Will Pay Each Assembly Member At Least ₵1, 000 As Monthly Salary If Elected
Former President and flag bearer of the NDC,John Dramani Mahama, is still making wild promises in a bid to return to power as the 2020 polls near. The latest promise he has laid on the table to convince Ghanaians to vote for him is that he will pay assembly member monthly salary of least 1000.
“I did the mathematics; elected assembly members are 55000. If we give each of them GHC1,000 a month, that is GHS55 million a year”, former President John Dramani Mahama hinted when he toured Mepe in the North Tongu constituency of the Volta Region on Monday, 17 August 2020.
According to him, if President Nana Addo Akufo-Addo alone could spend ₵69 million on travels in nine months in 2019, then the money could be found to pay assembly members.
“So, if the President alone can travel [for] GHS69 million cedis in nine months, why can’t we find the money to pay assembly members?” the NDC flagbearer asked party supporters during his tour to the Volta Region.
