NPP Chair Hopeful Charges Government To Turn Attention To The Development Of Cape Coast – Frank Hutchful

A New Patriotic Party Chairman hopeful for the Cape Coast South Constituency, Frank Hutchful, has charged the government to pay attention to the development of Cape Coast.

Frank Hutchful, who doubles as the former NPP Chairman for Cape Coast, indicated that the ancient capital is deficient in many ways, especially when it comes to economic ventures that will improve upon the living standards of the people.

Hence, the need for the NPP government to attach importance to the developmental needs of Cape Coast residents, if the party needs to break the eight.

He indicated that Cape Coast was never a swing Constituency, but for the loss of confidence in the government, they turn to swing to either NPP or NDC and that it was time the party claimed the seat from the NDC by fulfilling promises made to the people.

“I’ve stated that traditionally, Cape Coast is an NPP seat, which means that we have to bring befitting developmental projects to the area”.

He mentioned areas that required attention as the Cape Coast harbour promised by the government, dual carriage road from Cape Coast to some major towns, skill training amongst other job opportunities for the youth.

“We have problems with road construction. Almost all the electoral areas are in need of better roads. The government promised us some projects which date back to Kuffour’s time. That’s Pedu Junction to Effutu double road. I hope the government will start working on it. We again have Aggrey Junction to Petro’s supposed dual carriage road. They promised us a habour, but we know it has been delayed due to financial constraints. When constructed, the habour will serve the Northern part of the country”.

Mr. Hutchful’s comments come at a time when a number of residents in Cape Coast are calling for more developmental projects to raise their living standards.

Frank Hutchful, known popularly as ‘Oguaa Akoto’, maintained that residents of Cape Coast have followed NPP for a long time and “it’s time we saw improvement in our lives. Unemployment in Cape Coast continues to rise and when I become the chairman, I’ll ensure that we meet the government to talk about Cape Coast to bring proper development to the area”.
