Physician Bernard Okoe Boye, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentary candidate for Ledzokuku and minister of health, has issued a warning: if you vote for John Dramani Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC), nursing training allowances will be terminated, just like they were under Mahama’s previous administration.
During Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s campaign visit to the Lekma Nursing Training College, Dr. Okoe Boye asserted this. In his speech, he asked the students to back Dr. Bawumia in the next elections.
He informed the students that under Dr. Bawumia’s leadership, their welfare as nursing students and future health professionals would be priority, highlighting the NPP’s commitment to improving their conditions.
“The only candidate who can assure you that even if the ‘allawa; delays it will come. The only candidate who will call the minister to prepare the allawa list is Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
“Finally, nurses want to be posted right? When the other man was there, he said posting is not easy but under this NPP government, just recently, more than 50, 000 nurses have been given clearance.
“The other man said that he wants to reset Ghana. Do you have your phones here, when you do reset would you still have anything on your phone? Everything goes back to zero. Reset means allawa will be cancelled. Reset means if you are a nurse, you might end up working somewhere else.
“Now, if you upgrade your phone, you can only add better things to the phone. Dr Bawumia is for an upgrade, the other man is for a reset.
“Which one are we choosing, reset or upgrade? So, my beautiful and handsome student nurses, please don’t only swallow the good news, share it with siblings that the only man who is here to solve our problem is Dr Bawumia,” he stared.
