He stated that the NDC government was not able to pay teacher and nursing trainee allowances, monies due contractors were not paid, school feeding programme and all other social intervention programmes were about to collapse.

Dr. Bawumia addressing a mammoth rally on Sunday at the Kumasi Jubilee Park in the Ashanti region, he said "You can now see clearly the difference between competence and incompetence that I talked about during the campaign period.

"They were in government for eight years all the money they got from gold, oil, diamond, all of it, what became of it," he asked the cheering crowd.

"They couldn't pay teacher training allowance, they couldn't pay nursing training allowance, they couldn't pay school feeding programme, they couldn't pay contractors," he added.
