Alhassan Suhuyini The policy proposals outlined by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) ahead of the 2024 general elections are all geared toward the development needs of the people, Tamale North Member of Parliament Alhassan Suhuyini has said. He said while contributing to a discussion on the NDC Yth Manifesto on TV3's Big Issue on Tuesday, August 13 that the slogans of the NDC "are for progress and development." Suhuyini further said that the flagbearer of the NDC Former President John Dramani Mahama will run a lean government, reduce expenditures, and cut down on waste in the system to raise money to fund the 'no academic fees for level 100 students'. He agreed with concerns that the GETFund, which the NDC says it will rely on to fund the initiative, is facing challenges under the current Akufo-Addo administration. But he assured that the NDC administration would find other ways including cutting waste and tackling corruption to fund the initiative. "I agree that the GETFund is facing challenges, there is so much waste in the system which is why John Mahama says he is willing to reduce the waste, cut down on government expenditure, and tackle corruption," he said on the Big Issue on TV3 Tuesday, August 13. Prior to his comment, a lecturer at the University of Cape Coast (UCC), Dr Jonathan Asante Otchere had said when the National Democratic Congress (NDC) reduces wasteful expenditure if they form the next government and also tackles corruption, they should be in a position to implement the 'No academic fees for level 100 students' initiative.
