The Member of Parliament for Akuapem North Constituency in Eastern Region, Samuel Awuku, has blasted President John Dramani Mahama for deceiving Ghanaians about sole-sourcing issues.
According to him, the President, when presenting his first 2025 State of the Nation Address (SONA) in Parliament, mentioned that the government intended to minimize sole-source procurement in the road sector to encourage competitive bidding and enhance public transparency in procurement processes.
However, Sammi Awuku, unmasking the latter, revealed that on March 17, he did his first sole-sourcing procurement at the Mineral Income Investment Fund (MIIF).
He stressed that, with time, Ghanaians would regret voting for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2024 election.
The MP for Akuapem North made this statement at the Presbyterian College of Education–Akropong on Saturday, March 22, 2025, during the induction of the newly elected Tertiary Students Confederacy (TESCON) executive members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
“We are in opposition, but a mighty minority, and we will work hard to regroup and recapture power come 2028,” he added.
Samuel Awuku admonished the newly elected TESCON executive members of the Presbyterian College of Education–Akropong to go out and propagate the track record of the NPP government to their colleagues on campus to enable them to vote for them in 2028.
On his part, the immediate past Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Akuapem North Municipal Assembly, Lawyer Berima Awuah Sarpong Asiedu-Larbi, bemoaned how the NPP government helped a lot of youth secure jobs, yet they did not show up during the 2024 election.
He expressed worry over their attitude, stating that they demanded money before voting, which contributed to their defeat.
Thus, he hoped such a mistake would not be repeated in the 2028 general elections.
In his address, the Eastern Regional Youth Organizer of the NPP, Adamu Musah Raha, declared that the opposition party would not allow members of the NDC to misbehave by unlawfully intimidating any of its former appointees.
“If they think they have done something wrong, they should use the proper channels to invite and investigate them rather than using the Rambo-style approach to raid their residential homes.
“We will resist the oppressor’s rule because we are not afraid of anybody in the country,” he noted.
