The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has expressed dissatisfaction with the compensation awarded to the victims of the Techiman South shooting incident, stating that he had hoped for a larger amount.
The Wenchi High Court ordered the state to pay GH¢270,000 to six individuals injured during the shooting at the Techiman South collation centre in the 2020 elections.
Speaking at a mini rally in Twimia Nkwanta, Bono East Region, Mr Mahama condemned the incident and promised to provide additional support to the victims if elected.
He also reaffirmed his commitment to investigate the event thoroughly and ensure that those responsible face justice.
“I was expecting the compensation to be higher than GH¢275,000, but I respect the court’s decision. When the NDC returns to power, we will ensure that the victims receive the necessary support.
“We will also investigate the incident and make sure the perpetrators are held accountable. For those who lost their lives, we will ensure their families are compensated,” he said.
