John Mahama, the president of Ghana, has emphasized how crucial it is for the government to make sure it pays its contractors.

Speaking at a recent event, President Mahama claimed that everyone benefits when the government makes sure its contractors are paid when they complete projects, including side chicks, hairdressers, and tailors.

In a video that has left many reeling with laughter, President Mahama said;

‘When contractors get paid, they go buy Land Cruisers for themselves, car dealers alo benefit and even the spouses, the wives and the side chics also benefit because when you are paid and they get something, they give their wives and side chics some of the money and that is an important avenue because you know where that one too goes…when the spouses and side chics get, hairdressers get, dressmakers get, jewelry shops get, handbags sellers get…so do not discount it at all”
