Akpaloo: If I am elected president, GHC 500 will be given to underage children each month.

The Liberal Party of Ghana’s (LPG) presidential candidate, Kofi Akpaloo, has made some audacious pledges to help Ghanaians.
He has promised to give children under the age of 18 GHC 500 per month and unemployed people beyond the age of 18 GHC 700.
In an interview with Umaru Sanda Amadu on Channel One TV’s Face to Face, Kofi Akpaloo urged voters to support him, saying that if elected in the December elections, he wants to put money in people’s pockets and ease their financial hardships.

“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.”
In order to provide a safety net for the unemployed, Akpaloo also intends to change the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) law to provide benefits to people who lose their work.
