NDC now called National Double-salary Collectors - NPP man

Some former ministers of state under the erstwhile Mahama administration have been accused of taking double salaries during their tenure.

Speaking on Accra-based Oman FM, he said "The NDC is now known as the National Double-salary Collectors because they were in government and taking a double salary. Those who were against them leaving power will now see that if we had allowed them to rule for another term, this country would have my now been on its knees. We thank God they were chased away and the timely intervention of the NPP government is putting things back to shape."
