There’s No Wisdom In Mahama’s Okada Legalisation Promise – Patrick Boamah

Member of Parliament for Okaikoi Central, Patrick Yaw Boamah has questioned the thinking behind former president John Dramani Mahama’s promise to make the operations of okada riders legal if elected President on December 7.

According to him, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer is only taking advantage of the people’s weak financial position or quest for finding jobs and promise to legalise something which he knows very well is not right for them.

He told Citi News, “I think the okada legalization has become a political issue that we ought to look at. What was the wisdom of the NDC and John Mahama for making that business illegal? There was no wisdom in it. You go across the world, what makes that business illegal?.

He wondered why the NDC will make such promise if they really had sustainable jobs for the Ghanaian people.

“Why will someone want to capitalize on people’s weak financial position or quest for finding jobs and promise to legalise what you know is not right in terms of proper job creation? That is my worry with the NDC,” Patrick Boamah added.
