As the Vice President of Ghana and the Flagbearer of the governing New Patriotic Party prepare for their inaugural campaign tour in the Eastern Region, the Eastern Regional Communication Bureau finds it imperative to highlight the vast disparity between the National Democratic Congress’s (NDC) commendable legacy of developmental progress and the current administration’s apparent inadequacies, particularly in light of the Vice President’s reputation for spreading falsehoods.
During the NDC’s tenure, the Eastern Region experienced significant infrastructural development, including the establishment of the Abetifi Referral Hospital, which unfortunately now languishes in neglect, the University of Environmental and Sustainable Development, and crucial water projects in Suhum, Akwatia, Wenchi, and Dwenase. Additionally, the construction of Community Day SHS facilities in Takorase, Maame Krobo, Kwaobah-Nyanoa, Kwahu Fodoa, Mem-Chemfre, Anum Apapam, and Apersua, along with extensive town road networks and chip compounds, signifies the substantial progress witnessed in the region. Unlike the misleading rhetoric of Bawumia and his faltering NPP regime, which fail to showcase tangible progress, H.E. John Dramani Mahama spearheaded a transformative agenda that uplifted these communities.
However, the unveiling of the NPP’s Performance Tracker reveals a disconcerting reality marred by lies, deceit, and blatant misinformation, all aimed at deceiving unsuspecting Ghanaians:
- Misidentification of Towns and Projects: The NPP’s tracker inaccurately lists projects in non-existent locales like Bunso in Abuakwa North, exposing a glaring negligence in data accuracy. Community-driven initiatives are falsely attributed as government endeavors, laying bare the NPP’s inability to discern genuine achievements.
- Non-existence and Non-Completion of Projects: Numerous projects purportedly completed by the NPP remain either non-existent or unfinished, exemplified by the unfulfilled upgrades of the Suhum-Nankese road and the illusory CRB construction at Wenchi Methodist. This raises serious questions about accountability and transparency. Fabricated projects such as the Ghana Rural Telephony and Digital Inclusion in Okere showcase a pattern of deliberate misinformation and deceit.
- Misattribution of Projects: Inaccurate claims of projects in Adukrom underscore the NPP’s desperate attempt to fabricate achievements, masking the pervasive neglect and decay under their stewardship.
Questions for the NPP’s Flagbearer:
- Can the NPP’s Flagbearer provide a comprehensive dossier of actual projects executed by his party in the Eastern Region, or is their portfolio merely a collection of fallacies and distortions?
- Despite significant electoral support, why does the NDC’s developmental legacy overshadow the NPP’s feeble efforts in the Eastern Region? Is it incompetence or a deliberate dereliction of duty?
- How does the NPP intend to rectify the glaring disparities and discrepancies within its Performance Tracker, or are they content with perpetuating a facade of achievement and eluding accountability?
- Given the egregious disparities between listed projects and their tangible existence, what measures will the NPP implement to ensure transparency and rectitude, or do they prefer to cloak their shortcomings in deception?
- How does the NPP’s Flagbearer respond to allegations of reneging on promises and principles in the Eastern Region, or is duplicity and subterfuge entrenched in their modus operandi?
We, in the Eastern Region, are fully prepared to expose any falsehoods peddled during the NPP’s tour. We urge all citizens in the region not to be deceived by the perennial lies of the Vice President.
