NDC Dares NPP To Showcase Its Achievements In Kwahu

NATIONAL Democratic Congress (NDC) has cautioned members and appointees of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) to stop lying to Ghanaians that it has been improving the living conditions of the people in Kwahu by way of bringing the needed development to Kwahu Traditional Area.

The NDC described NPP and its flagbearer Dr Mahamadu Bawumia as liars, saying that the ruling NPP has no achievement and track records in terms of social and infrastructure development in Kwahu.

Consequently, the NDC showed 9 achievements of achievements of HE John Mahama in the Kwahu Traditional area;

According to the NDC, the Eastern Affairs of the party has taken notice of recent comments of the vice President and flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party Alhaji Bawumia in the just ended IT IS POSSIBLE WALK which took place in Kwahu-Mpreaso on the 30th of March, 2024 where Alhaji Bawumia sort to discredit the flagbearer of the NDC for his supposed poor performance during his tenure as President and even went ahead to question why H.E John Mahama is seeking to lead this nation again.

"We at Eastern Affairs finds this statements emanating from the vice president disappointing very offensive, looking at the current situation we find ourselves as a nation under the leadership of Alhaji Bawumia where power outages is the order of the day, high Obnoxious taxes on businesses which has occasioned a lost in container traffic to Togo, high inflation,high unemployment rate in the history of this nation, debt distress nation as IMF data shows we are their second debtor in Africa, lock up investment of pensioners as a result of a draconian debt exchange measures, plummeting Cedi which is eroding capital of businesses, corruption, poor infrastructure development outcomes in the last seven years etc," the NDC noted in a press statement.

In the press statement which was copied to Soireenrws.com, the Eastern Regional Affairs Director of Research and Advocacy of the NDC, the party stated the people of Kwahu as well as well meaning Ghanaians that throng Kwahu for the Easter festivities were rather anxious to hear some remorseful and apologetic comments from our vice president for driving this nation into the abyss as well as short-changing the Kwahu traditional area with regards to development.

"We would like to jog the memory of the Vice President on the achievements of HE John Mahama in the Kwahu Traditional area;

1. Community Day SHS in Fodoa in the Kwahu West Municipality 

2. Community Day SHS at Maame Krobo in the Kwahu Afram Plains South District

3. Community Day SHS atMem-Chemfre in the Kwahu Afram Plains North District

4. Kwahu water project with it station at Kotosu in the Kwahu East district

5. Construction of Asphalted road from Nkawkaw to Mpreaso 

6. Irrigation dam at Amatey in the Afram Plains South District

7. Electricity extension in Kwahu South, Kwahu East and Afram Plains South and North

8. Abetifi Referral hospital in the Kwahu East District which has been abandoned by Alhaji Bawumia and Mr. Akufo Addo

9. New ferry at Agordeke in the Afram Plains North district

It is therefore deeply regrettable that amidst the unprecedented borrowing by Alhaji Bawumia in last couple of years he could not take the opportunity to mention their achievements within the enclave despite high electoral benefits that has been accrued to the New Patriotic Party since the start of the Fourth Republic.

What is equally disheartening is the consistent reckless comments from the Food and Agricultural minister Bryan Acheampong who is connected to the atrocities meted out to citizens during a bye elections at Ayawaso West Wuogon. 

Eastern Affairs would like to join the wide condemnation of Bryan Acheampong’s reckless comments from Ghanaians and urge the Ghana Police service to take immediate steps to arrest and prosecute him for the reckless comment.
