There’s Nothing Wrong With Akufo-Addo Continuing-Mahama’s Abandoned Projects -NPP Communicator
Communications team member of the ruling New Patriotic Party, Kwasi Poku Bosompem has called on political parties to stop the politicization of the country’s long-term National Development Plan.
He called on the parties to join forces to build Ghana irrespective of which government is in power.
According to him politicians should prioritize the needs of the people over their political agenda.
“It is time we all come together to say we have only one Ghana and will help build it better.”
He also urged the citizens to put up a good attitude towards the development plan for the country.
“As a good citizen of this country, we need to be very naturalistic . . . what is wrong is wrong and we should be bold to condemn wrongdoings by us, the politicians. If it is good and will benefit a lot of people too, we should say it and stop politicizing good and innovative programmes by our opponents,” he said on UTV’s Late News programme
He recounted how former President John Agyekum Kufour’s affordable houses were left in the bush to rot under the Mills/Mahama regime.
“Governance is a continuous process, therefore not a bad idea to continue previous government’s project instead of starting a new or fresh program. For instance, during former President Kufour’s regime, he started with affordable houses which were about 75% completed but it was left in the bush to rot by late Professor Atta Mills administration and replaced with 5,000 unit affordable housing project in 2012 . . . when we run a country like that, it proves we are not serving the people but rather satisfying our own political agenda.
“We, the Politicians, should have it at the back of our minds that, as leaders, we care to serve the people. So, if John Mahama’s abandoned projects are continued by NPP government, I don’t see anything wrong with it. I think the time has come for us all to drop our political colours and build a one Ghana,” he said.
