We cannot find the roads NPP claim they have constructed - Mahama jabs NPP

Accra, Ghana - National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Mahama, has cast doubt on the Akufo-Addo administration's claim of constructing 12,000 kilometers of roads, citing a lack of visible evidence.

At a campaign event in the Bortianor Ngleshie Amanfrom Constituency, Mahama promised that a future NDC government would conduct an audit to verify the legitimacy of these road projects.

“The NPP says in the eight years of Kufuor, they did 3,000 and something kilometers of road and NDC did 4,700 km of roads and they have 12,000 kilometers of roads… when we come, the new roads they said they have done, we will audit them and find out where the money that has been paid for 12,000 kilometers has gone because we can’t find those roads,” he stated.

He questioned the location of the alleged roads, suggesting that the poor state of road networks across the country contradicts the government's assertion, and sarcastically remarked that the roads may be located in the President's hometown of Kyebi.

“Everywhere I go, the main complaint is about the road network. Where are your 12,000 kilometers of road?” he asked.

Mahama also criticized Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia's economic management, stating that Ghanaians would give him a failing grade of 'F' for his performance, citing the NPP's failure in managing the economy.

“Recently, I heard the NPP flagbearer saying that he has performed excellently as Vice President so they should promote him to the president. I don’t know who marked his script and whether he marked it himself but I can tell him that when it comes to his performance, the mark that the people of Ghana will give him for management of the economy is F, that is fail,” he noted.
