Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG) presidential candidate Kofi Akpaloo has pledged significant financial support for Ghanaian citizens, vowing to deliver monthly allowances of GHC500 for children under 18 and GHC700 for unemployed adults.
In an interview on Channel One TV’s Face to Face with Umaru Sanda Amadu, Akpaloo shared his vision for direct financial relief, urging Ghanaians to elect him in the December elections.
“When they vote for me, I’m going to put money directly into people’s pockets. Every child in Ghana below the age of 18 years will receive a monthly child benefit of GHC500.
“Those who are above 18 years, who are unemployed, will be given income support of GHC700, then we are going to amend SSNIT law, so that those of you who are working when you lose your job, SSNIT will pay you unemployment benefits.”
He also promised income support of GHC700 for unemployed individuals over 18.
Mr Akpaloo further proposed amending the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) law to provide unemployment benefits for workers who lose their jobs, creating a more secure safety net for Ghanaians.
