Mahama lists social intervention policies introduced by NDC

Former President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama has expressed shock at claims that the opposition political party has no social intervention policy as a political party.

To him, any individual who makes this assertion needs more education on what social intervention is.

The former President was addressing the media on Sunday, July 7, 2024, when he made this known.

He listed several social interventions introduced by the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

“The District Common Fund was introduced by the NDC, we put it in the 1992 constitution. We said a total of 5 to 8% of total government revenue should go directly to the districts for their development. So if you go to your district and the district assembly has built a school, a KVIP, a nursery, a sports recreational facility, community center it Is a social intervention of the NDC which has done that.

Who introduced the GETFUND? It’s Rawlings and the NDC. We passed the GETFUND Law and without GETFUND where would our education be? A number of school infrastructure is being provided by GETFUND. So how can you say we haven’t introduced any social intervention? In any case, what is a social intervention policy?

It is an introduction of policies that provide social services for people. We have provided more access to water than any government in the history of this country. When Professor Mills came to government, access to water was 57% by the time we left office access to water was 76%. Accra alone we added 40 million gallons of water. For eight years this government hasn’t added even one gallon
