Furthermore, would put measures in place that would enable traders, drivers and small scale businesses to acquire soft loans at ease to support their respective trades and business.
On health, APC flagbearer indicated that, APC-led government would streamline the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) to cover serious illness like cancer, diabetics etc adding, citizens with these illness would be supported by government to access quality affordable healthcare in the country.
Also, would ensure the various regional and key clinics and hospitals are well resourced to be able to provide quality prime healthcare to the people of Ghana.
Speaking to them, he assured them that, under his goverenment, he would give issues of young people a priority especially job creations, skills training and empowerment among other policies.
