Mahama Delivered More Infrastructure With Less Resources In Four Years – Adongo Replies Bawumia

Member of Parliament(MP) for Bolgatanga Central, Hon. Isaac Adongo has responded to claims by Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia that the Akufo Addo led government have had an unparalled infrastructure development recorded.

Speaking at a town hall meeting on August 18, Dr Bawumia disclosed that the total number of projects commenced under President Akufo Addo is 17,334, with 8,746 completed while 8,588 are ongoing.

He further slammed former president John Dramani Mahama for the cost of the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange insisting it could have build four more interchanges.

Isaac Adongo who speaks for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) on financial issues reacted to the claims in a short statement saying, “the NDC delivered more infrastructure with less resources under JM in four years.”

He added, “If Ghanaians voted against commissioning of major infrastructure in 2016, do you think they will vote for sod-cutting, an enhanced promise in your last 4 months in office?
Sod cuttings are just enhanced promises and a failed Govt cannot seek solace in more promises on your way out.”

“How can a Govt with 4 months left in office show infrastructure record in a town hall meeting? This is what happens when your year of roads is touted with a sod cutting of 26km road. A performance-driven Govt commissions roads and infrastructure projects with 4 months to the end of your term not another round of empty lectures and town hall meetings dubbed results fair.
Are you not proud of your 1 village 1 dugout or reshaping and regravelling or your one-seater toilets? Come to Bolga Soe to commission your embarrassing dugout.
Talk is cheap. The toilets, boreholes, reshaping and school blocks that Ghanaians took for granted are now your superior achievements? So what will the superior record of an Assemblyman look like? We have indeed retrogressed.
While JM was described as incompetent by you for commissioning major infrastructure projects at this time in 2016, you are holding townhall meetings on supposed infrastructure you are ashamed to commission?
Never again. After doubling our public debt in 3 and half years to competently finance corruption and stealing, now come and commission your projects. That’s a true show of infrastructure results.
It is interesting that the President on the day of visiting Western Region with the electorates waiting for him to show his projects, his MP in the area was sitting in a JM visible project with the economic comedian struggling to do the impossible of delivering another confident eloquent lies.
The NDC delivered more infrastructure with less resources under JM in four years.
If Ghanaians voted against commissioning of major infrastructure in 2016, do you think they will vote for sod-cutting, an enhanced promise in your last 4 months in office?
Sod cuttings are just enhanced promises and a failed Govt cannot seek solace in more promises on your way out.Big English and confident eloquent lies best describe your shameful legacy.”
