National Organizer of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Kofi Adams says argument that President John Dramani Mahama has promised to ‘put money in Ghanaians pocket’ is "unreasonable".
“People talk as if the president is a magician which he is not,” he said in an interview with NEAT FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’.
Mr. Adams believes it is awkward for anyone to think that the president can perform magic to direct physical cash into people’s pocket.
He explained that the president can only create jobs which will generate the money for the populace – “That is what the president is doing. He has created jobs all over the country. So I don’t know what else he should do.”
President Mahama on a campaign platform promised to "put money in Ghanaians pocket" should they vote for him in the upcoming elections.
But on Wednesday night, the President at the 2016 Presidential Encounter hosted by Ghana Television, urged the youth to take advantage of government’s initiatives to make-ends-meet.
He explained that, government has invested a lot into skills development in other to improve the living conditions of Ghanaians seeking employment.
“The fact of life is that you can only have money in your pocket if you work and earn it and so there is no magic to put money into people’s pockets.
“That is why government is investing as much as it is investing to try and provide our people with the skills that they need to enter the world of work.
“If you sit at home and you don’t take advantage of the opportunities, money is not going to magically appear in your in your pocket . . . so what government is doing is investing to create the situation so that as many of our people can take the opportunities as possible and we are doing this in all sectors.” President Mahama said.
His comment has generated many cacophonies among the electorates – but Kofi Adams insists “President Mahama’s responsibility is not to put money in people’s pocket. There is no such arrangement for that magic.”

Take this up as your last campaigns message. On the platform As the people - Mahama promised to put money in your pocket...has he been able to put money into your pocket followed by the "yere sesa mu" gesture. And the response will be great leading to winning the election. Insha Alla
yet he was able to put money in ur pocket and others including woyome. so what does he mean when said he will put money in our pocket u maggot. the president knows he is not a magician but yet talks like he is a magician and if u dont know u just insulted him. in kofi adams' mind he is saying "u (mahama) are not a magician stop f00uuling urself in public". today maham will say something tomorrow his own ple will be correcting what he said bcos they know he sometimes forgets to take his drugs. another day someone will come and say that it is not his due to create jobs and that graduates should create jobs for their ownself. party full of confusionists. we cant continue like this. we must change
Why was Mahama able to put money in Wayome's pocket
WHAT A WAY TO INSULT THE PEOPLE OF GHANA. YOU RE VERY RIGHT TO SAY WHATEVER YOU THINK BUT TRUST ME, POSTERITY WILL JUDGE YOU AND YOUR CRONIES. IF PRESIDENT MAHAMA CAMPAIGNED IN 2008 ON THE ISSUE OF POVERTY AND PROMISED TO PUT MONIES IN OUR POCKETS IF HE BECOMES THE PRESIDENT AND TODAY YOU ALSO TELL US THIS ***barred word***, GOD IS WATCHING. PRESIDENT MAHAMA IS GOING TO LOSS BECAUSE OF SOME PEOPLE LIKE THIS WHO TALK FROM THEIR STOMACH JUST BECAUSE HE IS SATISFIED. THUNDER FIRE YOU...
let everybody stop noise , the God Lord will chose good leader for Ghana . on the seventh of December.our noise will not yield anything ,but the good Lord will surely choose for Ghana, at that day.
Just look at this ***barred word***. were you guys not following John Mahama like dabodabo ne nemma in 2008 when he stood on campaign platform in Sunyani and told us that when you ***barred word*** come to power you will put money in peoples pocket? you are now changing the goal post because you have failed the people of Ghana. indeed change is coming because you have nothing good to offer rather than arrogance and corruption.
Don't Worry, it's our responsibility to vote him out of office come Dec 7, 2016
