I WILL COMPLETE ALL ABANDONED PROJECTS BY THE AKUFO-ADDO GOVERNMENT – John Mahama Reassures Ghanaians

Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama has made a promise to finish all projects that were left unfinished by the Akufo-Addo government.

He feared that the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government had neglected many projects started under his leadership.

Speaking to chiefs and queen mothers at the Bawku Naba Palace in the Upper East Region, Mr. Mahama assured them that his upcoming administration will finish all unfinished projects left behind by the NPP.

He brought up the deserted Garu hospital from 2015 and the Bolga-Bawku-Pulmakom road.

Mr. Mahama also remarked on the Eastern Corridor project, which was started by Prof. Mills and carried on by his administration, but remains unfinished.

He also mentioned that the Tamne irrigation project will expand irrigation to 3000 hectares of land, benefiting four districts and allowing young people to participate in dry-season gardening and year-round farming.

“There have been many issues that have been raised by Bawku Naba, one is the government hospital. There’s a hospital we were building in Garu, which unfortunately has been abandoned, I can assure the people of Garu that when we come, we’ll continue and finish that hospital so that they can have access to modern health facilities. there are many projects that we were working on that unfortunately have stalled,” he said.

“I remember I cut a sod for the start of Bolga-Bawku-Pulmakom road sometime in 2015, we expected that that road would have been completed today. As of now the contractor has left the site and the road has been abandoned. I can assure my father Bawku Naba that when we come, we’ll tackle that road and finish it.”

“Prof. Mills conceptualised the idea of the Eastern Corridor project and we started it in the time of Prof. Mills. I came in and continued and did the segment between Nakpanduri and Oti Damanko. There’s another segment from Nakpanduri through to Kulungugu, that segment hasn’t been started yet, I can assure you that when we come, depending on the availability of resources, we’ll prioritise that road, we’ll complete the Eastern Corridor road so that it’ll make easier to move from here to the South.”

“I also cut sod to start the Tamne irrigation project and we didn’t complete it before we left. We finished phase one; this government continued it slowly but still, it hasn’t been done. This project will bring about 3000 hectares of land under irrigation so that our young people can do dry season gardening, they can do all-year-round gardening so that they don’t go down South to look for menial jobs.”

“So, when we come, we’ll continue the Tamne project because we know it’s going to benefit four districts in this area.”
