Mahama’s Responsibility Is Not To Put Money In People’s Pocket . . . - Kofi Adam
National Organizer of the ruling National
Democratic Congress (NDC), Kofi Adams says
argument that President John Dramani Mahama has
promised to ‘put money in Ghanaians pocket’ is
"unreasonable".

“People talk as if the president is a magician
which he is not,” he said in an interview with
NEAT FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’.

Mr. Adams believes it is awkward for anyone to
think that the president can perform magic to
direct physical cash into people’s pocket.

He explained that the president can only create
jobs which will generate the money for the
populace – “That is what the president is
doing. He has created jobs all over the country.
So I don’t know what else he should do.”

President Mahama on a campaign platform promised
to "put money in Ghanaians pocket" should they
vote for him in the upcoming elections.

But on Wednesday night, the President at the 2016
Presidential Encounter hosted by Ghana Television,
urged the youth to take advantage of
government’s initiatives to make-ends-meet.

He explained that, government has invested a lot
into skills development in other to improve the
living conditions of Ghanaians seeking
employment.

“The fact of life is that you can only have
money in your pocket if you work and earn it and
so there is no magic to put money into people’s
pockets.

“That is why government is investing as much as
it is investing to try and provide our people with
the skills that they need to enter the world of
work.

“If you sit at home and you don’t take
advantage of the opportunities, money is not going
to magically appear in your in your pocket . . .
so what government is doing is investing to create
the situation so that as many of our people can
take the opportunities as possible and we are
doing this in all sectors.” President Mahama
said.

His comment has generated many cacophonies among
the electorates – but Kofi Adams insists
“President Mahama’s responsibility is not to
put money in people’s pocket. There is no such
arrangement for that magic.”
