Nana Oye Lithur, the Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection, has said the social circumstance of the vulnerable population in Ghana has “improved positively” in the past four years.
She said government had increased the number of people on the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP) from 71,000, in 2012 to 213,000 households currently and that, “life is much easier for the vulnerable now.”
The Minister said this at a media engagement during her “JM for the People Tour” in Ho aimed at canvassing for votes for President John Dramani Mahama in the impending election.
Nana Oye Lithur said 60 per cent of LEAP beneficiaries and 11,000 prisoners across the country were registered under the National Health Insurance Scheme as part of government’s social development agenda.
She said about 1.7 million children were also being fed daily at school and urged the electorate to retain the government in power to further enhance the lots of the citizenry.
Nana Oye Lithur said the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Government was for the ordinary people and that more elderly persons would be given the Urban Welfare Card to enjoy discount in public transport fares and given rebate in selected shopping malls across the country in its next tenure.
She said a comprehensive programme would also be launched for head porters across the country to protect them against gender-based violence and defilement among other vices.
