Video: ‘We can’t pay Ghs12 transport fare to working site, pay our allowances’ – Nurses to Akufo-Addo
As many Ghanaians are aware, former President John Dramani Mahama and his National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration abolished the honorarium for student nurses.
In 2016, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and his New Patriotic Party (NPP) promised to restore the allowance if they gave him the mandate.
Although President Akufo-Addo has maintained his pledge, the allowance remains controversial. The student nurses in your picture have recorded themselves complaining about not getting paid on time for their stipend. Three gorgeous student nurses in their uniforms provide a message to President Akufo-Addo if you look attentively at the video.
The lady closer to the camera was overheard on the video saying, “Please, President Nana Addo, we have started our clinical. Please, we badly need our allowances. We know you are a good man, please act quickly and pay our allowances. It is not easy for us”. The next lady seated closer to her.
According to her friends, she is called Benedict. She also said, “My transportation alone is GH¢12.00 daily, what I will eat is not included. Please, Mr. President, do your best and pay us quick, we are suffering”.
