Author:- ROSEMARY .....
.. Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party’s running mate to Nana Akufo-Addo, has remarked that the John Mahama government seems to be more committed to themselves and schemes that will make their pockets fatter than in delivering on their core mandate of developing the nation and reducing the hardships of the people.

Dr Bawumia observed that this seems to be the reason why there is always money for scandalous schemes and projects that obviously end up enriching officials and cronies of the government, but there is always none when it comes to money for development and social investment.

Nana Akufo-Addo’s running mate made the comments in Offinso in the Ashanti Region on the first day of his three-day tour of the region.

He said “the NDC came to meet a debt of GHS9.5billion, which had been accrued from1957 to 2008, but in only 8 years the NDC has moved our debt from GHS9.5billion to GHS110 billion. 90% of Ghana’s debt has, therefore, been accrued just in these last eight years. Again, when one sums up all the taxes and loans, the NPP accrued onlyGHS20 billion for all the work we did. The NDC in eight years have had GHS248 billion from loans and taxes.”

Dr. Bawumia wondered why after so much resources, the NDC had still succeeded in making times hard for the ordinary Ghanaian and ended up collapsing almost all social intervention programmes.

“Despite all these resources, however, this government cannot pay what it has to pay to the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA), it cannot sustain the School Feeding Programme, National Youth Employment Programme or Free Maternal Care programme; they have cancelled Teacher Training and Nursing Training Allowances, they are owing contractors and cannot pay the School Feeding Grants too,” he said.

All the roads in the Volta region are bad so which volivo is the bridge going to connect. Another white elephant project like the Ho airstrip being called by no brain people as airport. Fools in government. Do not start, you have just exactly five weeks to go. Some will be shot, others jailed and the rest starved of sex.

So that tomorrow he would not go and stand somewhere and say the cost is too much as he did for the Circle and Kasoa interchanges and Ridge Hospital. Anyway well done to Parliament especially the NPP members who placed the nation first before their party. The Eastern Corridor road would by all means be completed one day.

The bridge should have a railway passage attached to it too!

Let us just keep this for another four years and demand accountability as he finishes the project
