Hamza Suhuyini, a member of the NDC communication team, has mocked the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
According to Hamza Suhuyini, the NDC is not using the rulebook of the NPP that subjected them to that humiliating defeat in the last election.
Speaking on Channel One TV’s Breakfast show, Suhuyini stated, “The NDC is not operating using the rule book of the NPP that subjected them to that humiliating defeat in the last election. We know what the good people of Ghana expect and are responding to their expectations”.
“If you continue to disregard and disrespect the demands of the Ghanaian people by referring to it as setting, that is yours to carry. But this government will not budge in terms of our willingness to remain true to the demands of the Ghanaian people,” he added.
He asserted, “If you are an appointee and you are paid, find a way of using your salary to cater for your transportation when it comes to fuel costs. This is not about sacrifice. The government is cutting waste because the government considers it waste”.
Meanwhile, Sammi Awuku, the Member of Parliament for Akuapem North, has fired shots at the Mahama government’s decision to scrap fuel allowances and allocations for all political appointees.
According to Sammi Awuku, the decision to scrap the fuel allowances is a PR gimmick and settings.
Sammi Awuku further noted that more clarity is needed concerning the scrapping of the fuel allowances.
Speaking in parliament, Sammi Awuku dared President Mahama to prove his seriousness by shutting down fuel vending points at the Jubilee House and Osu Castle.
However, the Chamber of Petroleum Consumers (COPEC) has revealed that the government’s decision to scrap fuel allowances for political appointees will save the country GH¢120 million.
COPEC is quoted by 3 Business to have stated, “Scrapping fuel allowances for appointees will save Ghana over GHS120 million annually”.
