Presidential Candidate of the Opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has told President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo, that if indeed the current government has done so much as being touted, then the later should show the said infrastructure for Ghanaians to see the projects one-by-one.
Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia reportedly announced on recent campaign platforms that the current New Patriotic Party (NPP) government had constructed more infrastructure projects (17,000) in less than four years than the NDC managed in eight years.
It would also be recalled that in June this year, President Akufo-Addo reportedly said his government was pursuing an infrastructure-for-all agenda throughout the whole country, rather than concentrating them in the big cities.
Later in August this year, the President again noted that the NPP government under his leadership had constructed the largest number of toilets in Ghana than any government in the history of the fourth Republic.
But speaking in an interview on Abusua FM in Kumasi as part of his six-day campaign tour of the Ashanti Region, Mr. Mahama challenged President Akufo Addo to unpack his bag of achievements adding that they are full of toilet facilities.
He said “If he [Nana Akufo-Addo] mentions that he has done so much, he should unbundle the infrastructure and allow us to see the projects one by one.”
“They are full of small small toilet facilities.” He added.
Mr. Mahama lamented a situation he described as failure on the part of the Akufo Addo government to pay contractors who had been engaged to construct the said toilet facilities.
“I got somewhere and realized that the association of contractors building these toilet facilities had not even been paid. Over 539 of them were complaining,” he noted.
