General News of Tuesday, 16 October 2018Source: kasapafmonline.comGovernment has lost touch with the people – TUCPresident Akufo-AddoThe Trade Union Congress’ (TUC) has said the Akufo Addo led government has lost touch with Ghanaians as the administration insists on proceeding with the construction of a national cathedral despite public opposition. “I do not doubt the capacity of the TUC to mobilize but I want to urge the TUC to mobilize people in support of the Free SHS and want the TUC to mobilize people in support of the reintroduction of allowances both to trainee nurses and teacher trainees. I’m not aware of a groundswell against the building of the national cathedral, I know that there are some people who dissent thankfully they’re in the minority, the TUC can be in the minority on some matters like this. On the question of the cost, the land in question should not be taken for granted that it’s just something the state is dashing. We know of demolitions that will make way for the construction of this cathedral, you should also cost that one.
