Deputy Director of Research of the National Democratic Congress [NDC], Peter Boamah Otokunor has accused Nana Akufo-Addo’s father of being the master-mind behind the cash and carry system in the country's hospitals.
“Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo’s father invented the process of hospital fees act in 1969, during his term of governance,” he told UTV’s Yaa Konamah on 'Adekye Nsroma'.
According to him, the standard of living during those days was not even conducive for citizens to go for medical care under the cash and carry system, but the then government introduced it due to their personal interest.
In buttressing his statement made earlier, Otokunor claimed he finds it so disheartening when members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) make noise that they introduced the National Health Insurance Scheme [NHIS] during former President John Agyekum Kufour’s regime, because Ex-President Jerry John Rawlings during his tenure of office made the necessary provisions to change the cash and carry system in use.
“Ex-president Jerry John Rawlings during his term of government strived to scrap off this cash and carry system but was voted out of power during the general elections in 2000 which gave way for former President Agyekum Kufour to implement it since it was already on paper,” he said.

AND SO WHAT? GLAD HE WAS NOT THE ONE WHO PULLED YOUR TEETH TO THE FRONT.
It seem as if to be a member of the NDC you must pass a stup1dity test.
u dis boy, u dont learn from ur mistakes. u spoke about dis mans wife n ur wife died, u r now talking abt his father....start praying if he is not already gone
It is a fact we all know about. Today's youth has relegated history to the background. It is the reason they are lied to. We remember the very first cash and carry....it was truly under Dankwa. The bill to scrap was introduced to parliament in June 1999. In September 2000, it was passed. Point is; the then Kuffour administration cannot claim the entire credit for this. As we all know, Dankwa introduced, Rawlings initiated the process for Kuffour to scrap it. That is the truth. My fellow youth, please read history small. Do not be sooooo glued to social media, reading only highlights and or updates!
THESE NOTORIOUS DANGERIOUS CRIMINALS [NDC MEMBERS]DO NOT HAVE ANY USEFUL MASSAGE TO WE GHANAIANS, I WAS BORN IN GOLD COAST TIME BEFORE DR.NKRUMAH CAME TO POWER. WHEN DR. BUSIA CAME TO POWER IN 1969, NANA AKUFFUL'S FATHER ONLY BECAME A FINGER HEAD OF STATE , FELLOW GHANAIANS DON'T LISTEN TO THEM .
Folks I think it is time we stood up to be counted.When Nana Addo 's father was head of state he was only a ceremonial president. What that means is that the man had no hand in the day to day running and decision making in the country.Just like the Queen of Great Britain. She has no hand in the running of the country. That is the job of the Prime Minister. So Folks where and how did this man introduce the cash and carry system? It's sad that this ***barred word*** is paid with your taxpayer's money only for him to misinform everybody on national tv.Folks appreciate the power of your thumb .Go out there and plant your collective boot on the backside of this John Mahama and all the riff=raff around him.
AAba, what satanic forces are taking possession of President Mahama and the NDC? Why are they persistently and consistently spewing trash and rubbish? They have nothing to tell the electorate.
stop talking trash with your stin-king mouth, through lies that you lost your wife and you have started again, see what will happen to you, it will be worse than losing your wife, when were you born and these fabrication stories.
Otokuno, your dafttnessss and stcupid1ty is beyond redemption. In fact you are a factory-reject product. I run saaaa go vomit for your mother's assssssssssssssssssssssss
When people like , Otukonor, who dont Ghana's history are in government, then you can understand our predicament. They shout and tauntwhat they dont know. 'Ede bii k3k3' for you.
