Former President John Dramani has expressed shock over a claim by the Akufo-Addo government that the 2017 allocation of the $1million dollars per constituency per year expired with the budget of December 2017.
Responding to a question posed by the Member of Parliament for Mion, Hon Mohammed Abdul-Aziz, when government would release the Cedi equivalent of one million dollars to every constituency, the Minister for Special Initiatives, Mavis Hawa Koomson, said the money technically expired with the budget in 2017 as the structure needed to implement the programme was not available.
But former President Mahama is wondering how a million dollars per constituency meant for the development as promised by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2016 elections could expire.
Mr Mahama, who is on a three-day campaign of the Upper East Region, expressed shock when he addressed delegates of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) at Zuarungu, in the Bolgatanga East constituency in the Upper East Region.
He asked “have you ever seen one million dollars expiring?” adding that “I am aware that rice has expiry date, oil has expiry date and other commodities but one million dollars has no expiry date”.
Mr Mahama pointed out that with two months left for the year to end; time is running out for that allocation to also expire. He said Ghanaians have now seen through the lies and deceit of the NPP, noting that such lies and deceit could shake the faith of Ghanaians in the democratic system.
Mr Mahama also called for unity in the NDC following the elections of new executives at the constituency and regional levels, and promised to work hard to reduce the high cost of living in the country.

Massa, Nana has paid a lot of the debt you left behind hence the increment in taxes. You are the main reason for all this hardship. I know your types will not understand but you have caused this hardships. We don't have short memory as you thought, we still remember what you stol from us.
Mahama should be banned from active politics. He makes me sick to my stomach. Nana Addo has done farrr better than you. His only problems are the bank closure and the unbearable taxes. I know he will deal with that soon. Mahamas problems includes pick poketingg, steallllingg, embezzlementss, fraudddd, extortionnn, his wife giving away state land cruisers to her boyfriends infact the list is brutallll. Massa moku have some piece of mind.
I don't blame you, if we had a proper constitution you and your family would be in jail by now. You now own a bank! You renovated a section of the airport with $250 million dollars!!!! Belllllleh! 10 percent of that money could have done better. Those who follow Mahama are just like him, tiives!

incompetent chairman now you have accepted incompetent tag.John Manama.
Desparate man so he will say anything. Do you know BUDGETS ARE prepared for one fiscal year and therefore any expenditure or income which was not realised is either push to the following year or is discarded or to use your word "expired" No wonder they call you INCOMPETENT.
He WILL SURELY be President again!!! He has to EXPOSE the lies and chicanery of the NPP!! That will take them into the ***barred word*** for a LOOOOOOOONG time.
Why mahatma is so desperate to become president again? Instead of him selling plans and message to the delegates to get votes for NDC leadership Contest he is rather acting like a flag bearer and fighting over npp policies. Hmmmmmm this man will lose leadership contest so miserably. His desperation shows he is a loser. Ghanaians don't want you again so forget it. Incompetent and ***barred word***.
