The Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama, has challenged President Akufo-Addo to a debate on their respective administration’s records on infrastructure development.
“I am willing to present myself for a debate with President Nana Akufo-Addo any day, any time, anywhere,” Mr. Mahama said when he called on leaders of the Ho West Traditional Area on Thursday.
His call for the debate comes after the New Patriotic Party touted their infrastructural projects which the opposition party, NDC has said some of their Infrastructural project was started by them.
The former president said this on a tour to the Volta Region.
Mr. Mahama recounted the New Patriotic Party’s criticism of the NDC’s decision in 2016 to campaign mainly on its infrastructure record which was contained in its “Green Book”.
Ahead of the 2020 polls, the Akufo-Addo administration has centred its campaign on the issue of infrastructure after it announced that it has initiated 17,334 infrastructure projects in various parts of the country.
It noted that 8,746 of the projects have been completed while the remaining are ongoing.
The government has also set up a website to track its infrastructural projects.
But Mr. Mahama suggests that this is hypocritical from the Akufo-Addo administration.
