Ningo-Prampram legislator, Sam Nartey George, has said that the flagbearer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia owes him a tune of $7 million.
He noted that this debt has accrued over the NPP’s inability to see through its promise of providing each constituency one million dollars.
In an interview on GHOne, Mr Sam George revealed that “I have not received a pesewa. I am owed $7 million.”
President Nana Akufo-Addo during his campaign in the 2016 general elections, promised Ghanaians that if voted into power, he would roll out a programme that would give every constituency one million dollars to facilitate the rapid development of the constituencies.
Then, on the 30th of August, 2016, the then Vice presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party announced a one million dollar for each constituency policy aimed at alleviating poverty in the country. He said that the policy was under the infrastructure for poverty eradication at a total cost of $1.6 billion. With this amount, the NPP government intended to invest in pro-poor policy in villages across the country.
The NPP government has failed to fulfil its promise of providing each constituency with a million dollars.
