Former President John Mahama has said bemoaned that President Nana Akufo-Addo is focusing more attention on cutting sod for his Agenda 111 hospital projects than paying attention to the completion of several hospital projects and others that his government inherited from the previous administration.
Speaking during a courtesy call on the Eastern Regional House of Chiefs in Koforidua on Tuesday, 12 October 2021, as part of his Thank You tour of that part of the country, the 2020 presidential candidate of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), complained to the traditional leaders about the current government’s abandonment of several uncompleted projects started under his administration.
“Nananom, there’s a very worrying development that I cannot avoid talking about and that is the issue of abandoned projects”, Mr Mahama noted, pointing out: “Governments are enjoined to continue the projects began by their predecessors”.
“Unfortunately, it will appear that after 2016, the new government that came, has either advertently or inadvertently refused to work on many projects that the previous governments started and I can name so many of them: there are road projects, hospital projects, school projects”, he said.
