Our Manifesto: This is what YEN.com.gh believes in
In the run-up to the 2016 general elections, the issue of allowances was a major problem after the NDC government scrapped allowances of trainee teachers and nurses in 2014.
The cancellation of the trainee allowances in 2014 led to a lot of public debate as trainees who mostly depended on it, could not understand why the President would take an action.
The New Patriotic Party, however, took advantage of that uproar by the teacher and nurse trainees and encapsulated it in their campaign messages.
The NPP however restored the payment of the allowances to the trainees when they were sworn into power in January 2016.
In a native post created by YEN.com.gh, Mahama stated that he would not discontinue the payment of the trainee allowances if voted back into power.

Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh earlier reported that Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, revealed that when voted back into power, he would continue with the payment of the allowances of teacher and nursing trainees.
Mahama in defense said the NDC's decision to scrap the then existent allowance was to allow for the expansion of various infrastructure in the country.
