Show Us What You Did For Asanteman — Francis Adomako Fires Mahama.
The Ashanti Regional Organiser for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Francis Adomako has dared the former President, John Mahama to mention the projects he initiated and completed in Ashanti while he was president from 2012 to 2016.
The NPP executive says it is just noise for the former President to claim that he did something extraordinary for the people living in Asanteman.
He noted that the much talked about Afari Military hospital and the Kejetia redeveloped markets were ideas and initiatives by President Kufuor inherited by the late President J.E.A Mills.
Speaking to this reporter Monday morning, Mr Adomako said, “it is repulsive to hear the former President sit on platforms and say he gave Ashanti the best of development projects”.
DETAILS:
According to the NPP executive, unlike John Mahama, President Akufo-Addo within the four years of his first term introduced life changing policies for the benefit of Ghanaians.
Programs such as the free senior high school education, Mr Adomako intimated, has opened up spaces for about 1.9 million pupils who hitherto had to pay to access education.
Out of these numbers, many couldn’t even get access to SHS because there were non-existent spaces for all these numbers who qualified to access secondary school education.
“Many youth in the country who were unemployed had the Nation Builders Corps (NABO) as well as the Youth Employment Agency (YEA) to fall on for employable spaces and opportunities”, Mr Adomako recounted.
INFRASTRUCTURE:
On infrastructure, Mr Adomako said the Akufo-Addo government is unparalleled in such.
Since assumption of office, Mr Adomako said the NPP government has constructed schools across the country including upgrading most senior senior schools to the levels befitting its status.
Every region, the NPP regional executive posited has seen motorable roads under the NPP with almost every community connected to the national electricity grid.
Mr Adomako said, “the NPP any day will beat the John Mahama government to the test of infrastructure and development projects”.
