Dishonest Bawumia Lied About Infrastructural Record At Town Hall Meeting – Sam George

The Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram, Sam George has called on Ghanaians to disregard the government’s list of infrastructural projects presented by Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia at a town hall meeting on Tuesday.

Sam George speaking on Eyewitness on Citi FM, said most of the projects cited by the Vice President were either private initiatives or the previous government’s uncompleted projects.

“I have done some work on the website and if you look at the projects listed there, I can say the Vice President has shown dishonesty and it is something that is unbecoming of anyone who holds such a high office. There was a plethora of either private initiatives or government work that had preceded this government being cited as government projects.”

Sam George rubbished the claims by the Vice President that the cost of one interchange under the John Dramani Mahama administration is the cost of four interchanges under the Akufo-Addo administration.

He argued that government’s failure to prosecute anyone for the alleged overpricing of the interchange proves that the former’s assertion was false.

“I listened to Bawumia and I realised that he made a pedestrian argument where he compared the cost of one interchange to four interchanges. Let us agree for the purpose of this conversation that the interchange at the Kwame Nkrumah circle was overpriced. If he says it was overpriced, this government has been in power for three years and eight months. Why has he not prosecuted anyone for causing financial loss to the state? Again, we want to ask the question, how come the contractor who has executed the project is currently executing another project under this government?”
