How Kofi Akpaoloo intends to pay Ghanaians monthly allowances as president

Kofi Akpaloo, the leader of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), has promised Ghanaians below 18 years and those above 18 years but who are unemployed, a monthly allowance if he is elected as president.

According to the LPG leader, Ghanaians below 18 years will get a monthly allowance of GH¢500 while those above 18 years and unemployed will get GH¢700.

In videos that have been shared online, Akpaloo is heard saying, “Below 18 years will receive GH¢500 every month and those above 18 years who are not working will get GH¢700 every month.”

“It's cedis that we are going to use to pay. We are not going to use dollars; it's cedis. Ghana is the only country where we use cedis. We don’t use cedis anywhere [else]. And who controls the cedis? It is the government of Ghana who controls the cedis. So, money is not a problem. Money can never be a problem,” he said in response to how he is going to fulfill that promise.

Akpaoloo has since submitted his presidential nomination forms to the Electoral Commission Head Office in Accra.
