Political scientist, Dr. Richard Amoako-Baah is very much surprise of President John Dramani Mahama's decision to reinstate nurses’ trainee allowances, after the NDC party strenuously justified the scrapping of the policy.
Dr. Amoako contends the current administration has proven it cannot be trusted by its decisions – and wonders which "rightful thinking person will vote for the president based on that". Government has announced last week to the surprise of many, its plans to reintroduce allowances for nursing trainees.
The allowances were withdrawn some years back after government complained of the limited intake nursing training facilities at the institutions.
The opposition New Patriotic Party strongly kicked against the decision describing it as ‘senseless’ and imposed needless hardships on students and parents.
“Why must they wait for them to strike before they heed to their plight? Reintroducing their allowance doesn’t mean they [nurses] are going to vote for him [Prez Mahama]. If you are a government you have to be proactive. It’s not all about money but sweet talks and good planning.”
“What government did is just a political posturing. And no rightful thinking person will vote for the president based on that,” he said
