Due to this, parliamentary candidate for the Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dumelo, has promised Ghanaians of pushing for the enforcement of the rent control act.
He stated that Ghanaians, especially the youth would pay at most 6 months rents advance instead of the ‘habitual’ 2 years when he is elected as the Member of Parliament for Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency.
Taking to his social media platform – Twitter – to make this promise to Ghanaians ahead of the 2020 elections, John Dumelo wrote, “One of the first things I will do when I get to parliament is to push for the enforcement of the rent control act. We need to pay, at most, 6 months’ rent advance. How can we (youth especially) survive in an economy where we have to pay 2 years upfront? Not right. We dey bleed. #idey4u.”
The campaign promise, Mr Dumelo noted that, when rolled out would lessen the pressure on Ghanaians in this poverty-stricken economy.
