Deputy National Communications Officer of the NDC, Malik Basintale, has criticized the ruling NPP government, claiming that high unemployment rates under their leadership have forced many nurses into online marketing roles.
According to Basintale, nurses who should be fulfilling critical healthcare roles are now selling items like wigs, lingerie, and other goods online to make ends meet due to the lack of job placements.
Speaking at the Goaso Nursing and Midwifery College during the swearing-in of new TEIN executives, Basintale emphasized that the government’s failure to provide expected postings for nurses has left many with no choice but to find alternative means of income online.
He highlighted that under the NDC, nurses were treated as an essential workforce, contrasting it with what he described as the neglect of healthcare workers by the current administration.
“With the NDC, nurses have a true friend,” Basintale urged, calling on nurses to consider this in the upcoming December polls and vote in favor of the NDC for a return to job stability and respect in the healthcare profession.
In his remarks, the NDC Parliamentary Candidate for Asunafo North, Haruna Mohammed, echoed Basintale’s sentiments, stating that the NDC remains the party that values the contributions and aspirations of the youth.
He praised the young people in his constituency for aligning with the NDC, adding that the party is committed to creating better job opportunities and leadership roles for young Ghanaians.
As the campaign season intensifies, the NDC is making a strong appeal to healthcare workers, particularly nurses, to vote for change, promising a better future under their leadership.
