Controversial U.S.-based Ghanaian political commentator, Kevin Taylor, has claimed that nursing trainees use their allowances for frivolous activities like feeding their boyfriends hence, it's a good idea for the government to cancel it.
Taylor, speaking on his radio show With All Due Respect on the Loud Silence Network, said the announcement by the government that they are cancelling teaching and nursing training allowances is the right decision.
According to Taylor, it is better for the government to provide loans for students who want to take advantage of it to access than to pay all trainees across the board, especially because they 'waste' the money.
Taylor alleged that most nursing trainees use their allowances to start businesses or to rent expensive rooms to stay in instead of taking advantage of the school-provided accommodation.
