Mahama flays govt for ‘abandoning’ NDC projects

Former President John Mahama and the flag bearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has again accused the Nana Akufo-Addo administration of abandoning development projects started by his administration.

This time the former President pointed towards the Volta Region as evidence of this after making similar comments in other regions.

According to former President Mahama, schools and road projects initiated during his time as President have been left unattended throughout the country.

Speaking to market women at Sogakope in the Volta Region, the former president insisted that the government had failed the citizenry.

“All the projects have come to a standstill because the NDC left office, the community secondary schools have come to a standstill, all the road projects have come to a standstill,” he lamented and recently made similar complaints when he visited the northern part of the country.

When he visited a completed but not in use community day school at Mpaha in the Yapei Kusawgu Constituency of the Savanna Region, he condemned the government for not paying for ongoing projects and refusing to open up other completed ones and described the situation with development projects as unfortunate.

“It is a pity because everything that we started has come to a standstill,  I go round the country and most of the roads, where we left them on January 7, 2017, that is where the roads have ended, all the community based secondary schools, where we left them on January 7, 2017, that is where they have ended.

“The tragedy is, if you ask the New Patriotic Party (NPP) what are they doing about the road they will say free SHS, if you ask about the CHPS compound, they will say we have given you free SHS,  when you ask about jobs, they will say we have given you free SHS,” former President Mahama bemoaned. -citinewsroom.com
