President John Dramani Mahama has asked the Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, when he will be paid his salary so he can fulfil his pledge to donate six months of his salary into the Mahama Cares programme.
Mahama pledged to donate six months of his salary to the newly launched Ghana Medical Trust Fund, commonly referred to Mahama Cares.
Mahama, while launching the Fund pleaded with the private sector to commit their corporate social responsibility to the Mahama Cares.
He, has, therefore urged corporate bodies to support the initiative.
He appealed to banks, mining companies and other businesses to allocate a portion of their annual corporate social responsibility budgets to the fund.
According to Mr Mahama, such contributions would directly benefit the very people on whom these institutions depend for their daily operations.
However, Mahama has revealed that he kept checking his account and he has yet to receive his salary, after working for four months.Â
He asked the Chief of Staff when his account would be credited with his salary so he could honour his promise.
… Unfortunately, I have been checking my bank account and I haven’t started receiving my salary yet. Chief of Staff, what’s happening? Mahama quizzed.
The Ghana Medical Trust Fund is aimed at providing care for Ghanaians affected by chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
The Ghana Medical Trust Fund was one of the campaign promises of the National Democratic Congress during the 2024 elections.
It is intended to ease the cost of accessing specialist care for Ghanaians living with NCDs such as diabetes, cancer, kidney failure, stroke, and complications from hypertension.
