Former President John Dramani Mahama has openly questioned the claim by the Nana Akufo-Addo administration that it has constructed over 12,000 kilometers of roads across Ghana.
Mahama expressed doubt about the accuracy of this figure, citing a lack of visible evidence to substantiate the government’s assertion.
In a teasing remark, Mahama speculated that perhaps the roads could only be found in President Akufo-Addo’s hometown of Kyebi, implying that the government’s claims are exaggerated and not reflective of the reality on the ground.
Mahama’s skepticism comes amid ongoing debates about the state of Ghana’s road infrastructure and the government’s performance in this sector.
While the current administration has touted its investments in road construction, John Mahama argues that the impact on the ground is not commensurate with the claims.
According to John Mahama, the NDC will conduct an audit to confirm if the Akufo-Addo-led government has indeed constructed 12,000 kilometers of roads as they imply.
Mr. Mahama indicate that the NDC will not shy away from directly confronting the government’s assertions and is thereby, demanding tangible evidence to support its claims.
