The Member of Parliament at Ningo Prampam believes that the total acclaimed kilometers road which the president mentioned during his state of the nation is untrue.
In Parliament on March 30, President Akufo-Addo said; “In the five years of my government, so far, more roads have been built, improved and upgraded than at any other equivalent period under any government in the history of Ghana.
“Some 10,875 kilometres of new roads have been constructed in these five years. Mr Speaker, it is in the road sector that we have registered the greatest infrastructure achievement.”
In an interview on Citinews,the MP allegedly stated that this is the first of it kind the president has been misled.
“Let’s call a spade a spade. The President was misled. It won’t be the first time. We would have expected more diligence on the part of the President. At least, if he had spent more time reading the speech and questioning it than being happy to [tell us to open our eyes],” he said.
However, he challenged the government to provide more details on the roads it claims to have constructed.
