A Deputy Communications hopeful of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Akatsi South Constituency, Unity Edem Avege has described claims government paid Ghc14 million to former President John Dramani Mahama so strategy to divert attention from the hardships faced by Ghanaians.

He said cost of living in Ghana is now high and the hardship is unbearable.

In a short statement, he said government must rather prioritize bringing back the economy on track and stop peddling falsehood.

"All in attempt by this incompetent mother serpent of corruption and his government to defuse the anger of the citizens from the hardships we are undergoing as a country.

"It is clear that Nana Addo and his government never paid H.E Mahama any entitlements apart from his 2013 salary arrears.

"Starting from September 19, Ghanaians are to buy a sachet of water for 50p and a bag of water at GH₵7 and ₵9. Ghanaians who engage the services of commercial vehicles (trotro) would from September 21, 2022, pay 30% more for transport. Rents had also gone up by 5% to 10% depending on your location," he intimated.

He stressed that it is evidently clear Nana-Bawumia led NPP government has lost track on building the economy they promised.
