NDC abandoned our housing and road projects - Kufuor
Accra, Ghana - Nov 18, 2024 - Former President John Agyekum Kufuor has expressed disappointment over the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government's decision to abandon vital projects initiated during his administration.
In a meeting with journalists in Accra on November 17, Kufuor criticized the NDC for halting projects such as the Accra-Kumasi Highway and Affordable Housing Project in Asokore Mampong.
Kufuor emphasized the importance of continuity in project development, regardless of the ruling party.
He argued that funds allocated to these projects belong to the state and should not be wasted.
“Change of government in 2008 really affected us due to lack of continuity, because we had plans of continuing projects. But they were stalled. Our brothers in the NDC which took over power had a different ideology from ours.
“So they abandoned most of our projects. Asokore Mampong, the Affordable Housing projects we started were all abandoned. Accra to Kumasi road some of the projects we couldn’t complete were abandoned. What kind of rivalry is this?
“They said they would not touch the road projects I couldn’t complete while leaving office. If you will not continue, is it your money? It’s the state money, why won’t you touch the projects,'' he stated.
