Former President, John Dramani Mahama has promised the chiefs and people of Ahafo Region that all forsaken projects under the Akufo-Addo's government will be completed when re-elected as President.

A statement issued by the Communications Officer of the former president said he gave the assurance during a community engagement with some communities as part of a three-day #SpeakOut tour of the Ahafo Region.

President Mahama, who was accompanied by the National Chairman of the NDC, Mr Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, the General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, regional and constituency executives, Members of Parliament and parliamentary candidates, visited Ntotronso, Obengkrom, Goaso, Wromso, Nkrankrom and Sienchem.

According to the release, the president described the decision to sell fertilizer to cocoa farmers as insensitive and affecting overall production. He also challenged the media to visit the cocoa growing areas and cross-check the complaints of the farmers and chiefs about policy decisions that are affecting Ghana’s cocoa production, and also the abandoning of cocoa roads.

The statement continued former President Mahama thanked the communities for their support, endorsement and acknowledgement of the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC’s) developmental projects.

At Nkrankrom in the Asutifi South Constituency, the statement said, the chief linguist, Nana Abeka, lamented that despite several visits to the district assembly to enquire about resumption of the project, there had not been any response.

“We were only told the project has been stopped because they were investigating the contract. It has been three years, and the road works, which started and brought joy to Nkrankrom, remain abandoned,” it quoted the linguist.

The statement said at Wromso, a representative of the chiefs, Nana Kwame Kumah, acknowledged President Mahama’s developmental vision, which had benefited the community greatly.

It said Nana Kumah appealed to the NDC leader to urgently construct their roads when he wins the 2020 election.
