COVID-19 Vaccine Will Not Cause You To Vote For The NPP — Nana Addo
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has debunked claims that the COVID-19 vaccine will cause Ghanaians to vote for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2024 general elections.
In his 27th address on Wednesday, December 15, 2021, to the nation to curb the spread of the virus, he said “Getting vaccinated will not cause you to vote for the NPP in the 2024 elections if you do not want to. This is an outrageous claim. Vaccination cannot change your political preference.”
This comes after the Upper Manya Krobo District Health Directorate decried low turnout for COVID-19 vaccination in the district due to some misconceptions festering among the people.

For the first three months of 2022, government plans to issue a gross amount of ¢24.5 billion, of which ¢20.7 billion is to rollover maturities.
This indicates that the government’s debt level is not going to reduce anytime soon.
As usual, most of the funds to be mobilised will come from the 91-day Treasury bills, a move that has helped reduce foreign debt but rather crowded out the private sector from access to financing on the domestic market.
According to the data, the government will borrow as much as ¢11.3 billion of the 91-day T-bills during the period, higher than the previous quarter.
It will be followed by the 182-day T-Bills in which a total of ¢3 billion will be mobilised. Then, finally, the biggest of ¢1.6 billion will be issued in March 2022.
¢2.15 billion will, however, be mobilised from the 364-day bills. The majority of the funds are expected to be raised this month.
¢2 billion is also expected to be raised from a 6-year bond. This is expected to be done in January 2022.
Again, the government is expected to issue a 7-year and 10-year bond in February and March 2022, respectively. ¢1.2 billion and ¢800 million are expected to be borrowed from both resident and non-resident investors.
Government said the calendar is developed based on the Net Domestic Financing provided in the 2022 Budget, the 2022 domestic maturities for the period, the 2022 Borrowing Plan and the Medium Term Debt Strategy.
Public debt stock hits ¢341.8bn as of September 2021
Ghana’s public debt stock hit ¢341.8 billion in September 2021, the November 2021 Bank of Ghana Summary of Economic and Financial Data revealed.
This was equivalent to 77.8% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Between July and September 2021, ¢5.9 billion fresh loans were added to the total debt. The surge in debt came largely from the domestic debt and due to the slight depreciation of the cedi to the dollar.
However, the government had indicated in its Issuance Calendar for the final quarter of 2021 that it will borrow just about a billion cedis.
According to the data from the Bank of Ghana, the domestic debt went up to ¢178.1 billion in September 2021, up from ¢173.9 billion recorded in July 2021. This was equivalent to 40.5% of GDP.

Alhaji Ibrahim Kaleem has been accused of publicly projecting the Trade and Industry Minister as a suitable candidate to lead the governing party into the 2024 presidential elections.
A statement signed by the Regional Director of Communications, Mohammed Sheriff Ibrahim said Kaleem’s conduct violates the party’s constitution.
“As already noted in Chairman’s statement dated December 30, 2021, the unfortunate situation of peaking before time has the tendency to disrupt H.E. Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s governance and the peace within the New Patriotic Party in the region,” the statement said.
The statement warned that Kaleem ceases to represent the NPP as a communicator with immediate effect and the party will not be liable for any activity of his.
Meanwhile, reacting to the suspension, Kaleem said on Joy FM’s Top Story that the accusation levelled against him was false, and accused the regional executives of bias.
According to him, he attended an event organised every Tuesday by ‘Friends of Alan’ to espouse the trade minister’s achievement but he did not engage in any campaign activity.
“It’s an absolute lie. It’s not true. The programme was organised by ‘Friends of Alan’ and I happen to go there every Tuesday and it’s not about campaigning.
“It’s talking about Alan’s Ministry, what he has done, the factories and other things that he has done so it’s an absolute lie,” Alhaji Ibrahim Kaleem said.
Below is the suspension letter:
