Dr Adutwum noted that the initiative is intended to provide healthcare support for elderly members and long-serving delegates.
He also highlighted that the move will strengthening the party’s appeal to the younger generation.
Speaking to NPP delegates and supporters during his campaign tour of the Ashaiman Constituency on January 26, Dr Adutwum stated, “I have a special vision for all of you. I know many of you have followed the party for a very long time.
The reason I am deeply interested in doing something for our elderly party members is that if no action is taken, the youth in the party will leave”.
“If we do not take care of you, the strength of the party will decline. If you vote for me, all elderly members will benefit from the party’s Patriotic Health Insurance scheme,” he vowed.
Some netizens reacting to Dr Adutwum’s promise stated, “He will work for his party, not for Ghanaians, shame”.
“These fools are greedy, and they will continue to be greedy. You will set up patriotic health insurance, with which funds? You will use state funds to cater for party folks at the expense of the general masses, are you stupid or something?”, one more netizen added.
A netizen quizzed. “With tax payers money or what? If you want to do it, do it now for your party ooo hw3 the first accountability koraa (ORAL) we nor see top and you are saying what ?🤔 These people think of themselves and their party only”.
“Such thinkers! Everything they think of is for the Party and Party members and not the country. I sometimes wonder where they get their knowledge from”, another Ghanaian added.
One more X user added, “When you hear people who has been in the corridors of power talk foolishly like this. You then understand why their decisions have affected you negatively all your life”
“Whenever any of the NPP aspirants speak, all you sense is that they’d be working for party members and not Ghanaians as a whole.
No wonder we experienced what we saw under the previous NPP administration”, another netizen added.
“They always prove us right; they don’t care about the Ghanaians; all they care about are their party members. 2028 should come fast for me to vote for Mahama again, the only president who cares about his people”, a netizen stated.
One last netizen reminded Ghanaians, “The party that took pensioners’ bonds and investment and couldnt pay its workers 8 months in opposition wants to establish Health insurance for the aged in the party”
