Former Minister for Roads and Highways, Inusah Abdulai Bistav Fuseini has responsed to Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s claims that suggested the erstwhile John Dramani Mahama administration inflated costs of road projects.
According to Inusah Fuseini, the Vice President is just engaged in mere propaganda which will only throw dust into people’s eyes.
Dr. Bawumia during a townhall meeting to highlight government infrastructural achievements on August 18, claimed the $260 million used by former president John Mahama to build the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange could have built four more interchanges.
He further refuted claims that government has abandoned projects it inherited insisting 16 of John Mahama’s health projects have been completed while the rest are still ongoing.
In reaction, Inusah Fuseini on the Morning Starr discredited Bawumia’s claims stating he has “graduated with first-class honours in propaganda from University of telling lies.”
He explained that the NDC secured GHc54 billion with the Pokuase, Tema, Obetsebi interchanges included as against NPP’s GHc160 billion.
“We left them two gas plants. So apart from the loans, they were getting resources.
He added, “You can’t compare the Tema interchange to the Nkrumah Circle interchange. The Tema interchange is a bridge in terms of concept. It’s not an interchange as it’s being called. When you just do propaganda on the face of it, you are going to deceive a lot of people.”
