We Will Eliminate Import Duties On Sanitary Pads — NPP

Published

on


The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has pledged to eliminate import duties on sanitary pads should Ghanaians give them a second tenure.

Reading the party’s 2020 Manifesto on Saturday, Vice President Dr Mahammudu Bawumia said the move is to improve health conditions of the students particularly among females.

He noted that the move has become necessary since some female students absent themselves from classes because they cannot afford sanitary pads.

“What we aim to really do is to make sure that we produce the sanitary pads in Ghana so until that happens in its numbers we are going to eliminate the import duties [on sanitary pads] to bring down the cost,” he stated.
