President John Dramani Mahama has admitted giving out money during a campaign trail as captured in a video which has gone viral on various media platforms.
According to the Daily Post Newspaper which spoke to the President currently in the USA, the incident happened when they entered Sabon Zongo through a narrow and a heavy crowd following him.
The president who has since laughed off claims he was distributing money according to paper explained that from the top of his vehicle, he saw a little girl with a tray of boiled egg in the crowd being pushed by the cheering crowd amidst the jostling. The tray fell from the girl’s head and the crowd trampled on the fallen eggs. The girl then burst into tears.
Touched by what only he could see because of where he was standing, he ordered the man who commands his convoy (who was in his vehicle) to stop the convoy. The convoy thus stopped.
President Mahama said he then took GH¢50 from his ADC, pointed to the crying girl in the crowd and then reaching down from the top of the vehicle, gave it to a woman standing by her thinking she was with the girl.”
However, he was surprised to see the girl still crying so he asked her if the woman was the mother. When the girl shook her head and he noticed the woman had moved away, he took another GH¢50 from his ADC and gave it to the girl. This drew wild cheers from the teeming crowd.”
President Mahama recalled that it was even the crowd that helped the girl forward towards his vehicle to enable her take the money because they knew he was compensating her for what she had lost. It explains why the people around were not scrambling for the money.

So, who is telling us the truth, The Chief of Staff says it was Leaflets, Kofi Adams Said it was monies and that the President have all right to share our taxes in the opened, Now this Confusion na yie basaaaaaa in the ruling incompetent NDC party.
what that little GIRL WAS CRYING for wasn't Gh 50 BUT FREE EDUCATION to guarantee her better life in future from Mr. Mahamah .
I hope the president will hear all the crying babies and even crying mothers across the nation... the babies and mothers who sleep in the middle of roundabouts and slums in the cities... Babies and mothers who are in villages with no employment opportunities and malnourished with no access to healthcare and medication. Let's know if it's a matter of 50ghc for one crying baby or a serious policy to alleviate the poor and give chance to all born ghanaian children both in the cities and in the poor villages..... It hurts so bad when we give power to politicians (NPP & NDC) and they think its some funfair, in a nation where opportunity for those born poor is now simply zero.... Let me be clear, I support Nana Addo but the "not-funny" actions of politicians cuts through all of them and must stop... they all must get serious.....God bless our homeland and make us great and strong.
