Mr King Ali, President of the Concerned Teachers Association of Ghana, has lambasted Mr Kofi Jumah, a leading member of the NPP, describing him as a man with short memory.
Kofi Jumah on Thursday descended heavily on members of the CTA for urging the incoming Nana Addo administration to fulfill its promise to teacher trainees by restoring the training allowance within hundred days.
According to the NPP fire brand and former MP for Asokwa, the demand by the teachers is ridiculous.
He said "Nana Akufo-Addo made a promise and it spans four years …but to put a gun to his head and give him an ultimatum of 100 days, that is what is ridiculous… If they know how to give ultimatums, I think that they should redirect their ultimatum to the previous government,”.
He added: “I was expecting enlightened people to suggest that we expect Nana Akufo-Addo to put together a budget that will guide his administration so that he will be able to implement some of the things that he said he would do and that would have been a more enlightened approach, but the way they are stating it, they look like a bunch of ignoramuses: they don’t know anything, they are ignorant people. It’s even unfair for them to come out like that.”
But, speaking on Muntie FM, on Friday, Mr King Ali said, unlike Kofi Jumah, teachers are not having short memory and they remember what the NPP told them with regards to the re-introduction of the training allowance during the campaign season.
"The NPP assured teachers of paying their training allowance within 100 days of assuming and we will start counting from January 8, 2017," he said.
He said, by promising to restore the teacher training allowance, the NPP won in all the teacher training colleges in the just ended polls, an indication that the trainees bought the message of the party.
Mr Ali said, the CTA would resist any attempt by the incoming NPP government to deceive the teacher trainees over the allowance issue.
He has also called on Nana Addo, the President elect, to fulfill his promise of building houses for teachers across the country after assuming office.

2400 graduate teachers has been recruited and has worked for 4 years now without even staff ids... The ges officials are delaying and taking monies in order to generate the ids for us... these are what you should be fighting for not allowance which he promised and he hasnt been sworn in as president
is it by force? this guy didnt even vote for Nana. He is just hiding behind this kuluulu pressure group to demand unneccesarily.this snake eater should be told that it was NPP who introduced this allownace therefore its easy for us to bring it back but will not be under any pressure to do so. no-nsense
But wait oo, since when did the coalition of concerned teachers become the moutthpiece of the Teacher Trainees association of Ghana(TTAG). Since when did it become the mandate of the CTA to be speaking for people who are not its members??? I doubt the sincerity of King Ali.
If you cannot do dont promise. Nana & Bawumia promised way too much. The promises were not well thought through. They could have won the election without the several promises. Its going to be tough for them.
Look at who is taking. Stop this unnecessary pressure.We'll not sit down for you to use CTA to settle your personal score as Kwame Alorvi did with NAGRAT in 2007.Nana has not even sworn in as President. Even this is not right approach. Pls allow Nana to settle and I promise you, He'll never fail We the teachers
