The Communication Bureau of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Eastern Region in a press conference held on Wednesday, August 14, 2024, bared teeth at President Nana Addo over the deterioration of roads in the region.
According to them, President Akufo Addo, Abena Osei Asare, who is the Minister of State in charge of Finance, former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, Kwasi Amoako Atta, former Roads and Highway Minister, among other prominent persons, all hail from the region.
However these dignitaries have failed to use their respective office to get the poor road networks fixed.
They added that the aforementioned names are in the contention of the road construction and allocation of funds for sale, and they are the key decision-makers when it comes to road construction.
“These leaders who should have been champions for their region have instead prioritized their interests, leaving behind a legacy of neglect and mismanagement,” they opined.
The Press Conference was addressed by Kwadjo Dankwa, their regional Communications Officer.
The following constituencies are suffering from the same poor road networks: Fanteakwa South and North, Nkawkaw, Ofoase Ayiribi, Afram Plains North and South, Kade, Akim Swedru, Mpraeso, New Juaben South and North, Abuakwa North, Lower and Upper Manya Krobo, and Abetifi among other constituencies, they highlighted.
“Meanwhile, President Akufo Addo has constructed and asphalted all the roads in his hometown, Kyebi leaving the above constituencies in the region suffering from the bad roads.”
The Press Conference was dubbed: “EASTERN MUST KNOW”.
Kwadjo Dankwa added that during the recent uninspiring tour by Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to the region, the Member of Parliament for Abetifi Constituency, Bryan Acheampong, repeatedly said the NPP will use every means to win the 2024 elections including stealing the mandate of the people
“A question many of his constituents are desperately seeking answers to is why he is not channeling his negative energy into developing the dilapidated road networks and other infrastructure in his constituency to lessen the burden on his people,” he noted.
He stated that if Bryan Acheampong claims to be a man, he should get all the poor road networks in his constituency fixed and stop deceiving himself of winning the December 7 polls in every means because those plans won’t succeed.
