“Last week or two, our ambulance has been down for some time and our mothers the pregnant women were carrying tricycles across various communities in the district to the clinic. I think A1 reported it and I heard it. We came to fully fund the repairs of the ambulance and I think by the grace of God if is not already on the road by this week, it should be on the road. A number of kids I have helped pay their school fees, I can’t count them, people who are bed ridding in the hospital and can’t even buy drugs, I have helped pay, students barely lying on their stomachs to study, I was able to provide furniture for them, the teacher was drawing a computer on the board to teach kids about a computer, I have been able to provide some computers to some schools”.
“If this is not spending wisely, I don’t think keeping money in my account waiting for the last minute to distribute it so that they will vote for me and I will go and come back 4 years again is spending wisely”.
I want to respond to that; We are not throwing the money away, we are putting the money in the lives of people. We are paying school fees, we are helping treat the sick. Look, in our part of the region with Ghc 200.00, someone can start a business. I was able to give a woman Ghc 200.00 sometime back, the last time I visited the woman she had a table and I was able to add her Ghc 300.00 and I know the next time I will visit her, she probably will have a small kiosk. So, this is not spending wisely? I should keep the money in Accra, driving a different car in Accra, and bring a different car home to drive, is that spending wisely? He asked
