It’s been a divided argument on social media after Former President John Dramani Mahama charges the current government for simply misusing the cash meant for the fight against Covid-19.
Mr. Mahama accused the government of imprudent use of the financial resources, especially during the election period in 2020, a situation he said has led to the challenges facing the country at the moment.
That money would have cushioned this crisis that we are going through,” the 2020 Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) said while addressing a forum on the Economy in Accra on Thursday, June 30.
“The economic problem we are facing stems from imprudent election-related expenditure and reckless decision-making in the management of the economy”.
Here’s how Ghanaians reacted to this statement from Former President John Dramani Mahama on Facebook.
• I couldn’t agree more. The government underestimated covid and misused the funds. Covid became lingered for over a year even after the vaccine. Mr. Mahama you’ve said it right.
• government is misusing covid-19 money, you Mahama how much did you contribute into the fund and you are here asking for accountability for the money you didn’t even pay a penny of it? So stop pretending as if you are an honest person.
• You’ve said it all Mahama, but to be sincere, I just can’t trust anyone called a politician. You’ve all been on the same misusing path, just that your government accounts for it, unlike Nana Addo’s government.
• Sometimes I don’t know who to truly believe right now, we’ve had enough of the happenings of wrong spending in this country and we the ordinary Ghanaians are the ones suffering in the hardship. But in all, I have some hope that you Mahama will do better.
Do you agree with the statement made by the Former President, What’s your take on that?
